An important issue in the 1930’s was whether statistics was to be treated as a branch of Science or of Mathematics. To my mind unfortunately, the latter view has been adopted in the United States and in many other countries. Statistics has for some time been categorized as one of the Mathematical Sciences and this view has dominated university teaching, research, the awarding of advanced degrees, promotion, tenure of faculty and the distribution of grants by funding agencies. All this has, I believe, greatly limited the value and distorted the development of our subject. A “worst case” scenario of some of its consequences is illustrated in the flow diagram in Figure 1.
