Science Quotes by Charles V. Chapin (1)

Science can never be a closed book. It is like a tree, ever growing, ever reaching new heights. Occasionally the lower branches, no longer giving nourishment to the tree, slough off. We should not be ashamed to change our methods; rather we should be ashamed never to do so.
— Charles V. Chapin
Papers of Charles V. Chapin, M.D.: A Review of Public Health Realities (1934), 55.
