Excerpt from Science Lectures for the People Mr. Chairman, my friends - (began the Professor) - Encouraged by the success of the experiment which was tried last spring with the endeavour of imparting to you some portion of know ledge Of science, and arousing some interest in scientific facts and reasonings, I have come again this autumn in the hope that we may have as successful a series of meetings as we had in the previous spring. I have been assisted most kindly by Dr. Alcock and Dr. Morgan who have volunteered courses on Natural History and on Physiology. These lectures will be giyea at a later period. Although it may be necessary in Manchester to speak Of the advantage of scientific reasoning, of the importance of scientific investigation, yet on the results of science it is almost needless for me to dwell. Let us only look at one of the real wonders of the world lately accomplished - tihe Atlantic Telegraph. How important for all of us, for every man and woman in England, to really understand Something about the principles by means Of which we are able to talk with our friends in New York! I might turn toa thousand other important applications of know ledge in the present day, in which you would find the same interest and the same necessity for a knowledge Of the principles Of science. And these principles are not so abstruse or so difficult but that they may be mastered by all who have the will to do it.

A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
