Miss Warren Wins Scholarship. The Ithaca Journal, Mar 7 1950, P. 3, Col. 7

"Miss Alice J. Warren, 16-year-old senior in Ithaca High School, was awarded a $100 scholarship Monday night in Washington, D.C., as one of 40 finalists in the Ninth Annual Science Talent Search.

Miss Warren, daughter of Prof. Stanley W. Warren and Mrs. Warren of 848 Hanshaw Rd., plans a career in biochemical research. Her project for the Science Talent Search was techniques of identifying bacteria. She will apply her scholarship towards study, probably at Penn State College or Cornell.
  'The greatest job of science for the future,' she told a reporter in Washington, 'is that of showing humanity that its existence is, and always has been, interlaced with greater powers and concepts than it has realized. Men should concentrate on understanding and mastering, for universal good, these forces, rather than the small powers and possessions of other men.'
  Some of the general good effects science can produce, Miss Warren said, are 'making life easier, safer and longer through medicine, nutrition, improvement, etc.; developing ways of getting greater use from our environment, as in agricultural and aeronautical research; and bringing people out of superstitions and fears into an era of intelligent thinking.'
