stops only at the salient items, and can follow at any time contemporary trails which lead him all over
civilization at a particular epoch. There is a new profession of trailblazers, those who find delight in
the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record. The
inheritance from the master becomes, not only his additions to the world's record, but for his disciples
the entire scaffolding by which they were erected." Vannevar Bush (1945).
