ABSTRACT
In this address, originally presented at Swarthmore College, George W. Corner of the Rockefeller Institute tells how a professional anatomist reconciles his sworn duty to study the human body and mind as a physical mechanism with the realization that the human intellect and emotions transcend the operations of any ordinary machine. This essay, which was written while Dr. Corner was director of the Department of Embryology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, was included in his volume of autobiography and selected essays, Anatomist at Large.
