Does scholarship have practical benefits? The answer is a resounding Yes. It is self-evident in science; you cannot know, decades ahead, what uses an innovation may have. When Faraday moved a wire across a magnet and beheld a blip on his meter, could anyone have foreseen that all the world's electricity supply was born on that day? When Darwin fretted over finches' beaks, who knew the whole planet, ecologically, was so tightly knit? It is also true in the social sciences; if economists are right, we can eat their achievements! It is not so apparent in history, the classics and literature though the pleasure of music, reading, or a poem, makes life worthwhile even if only after man steps out, literally, from the cave, or metaphorically from the cage of poverty and hunger .
