...this letter we would like to reply to a number of questions raised by Mr.J.K.Glassman in two recent CRIMSON articles. We think it is unnecessary to argue that the natural sciences have a place at this university; they are no less humane than any other branch of knowledge. Although scientific discoveries have been misused, the possibility of exploitation is common to most knowledge worthy of transmission.

If you turn the university into a trade school or a branch of the knowledge industry, there is no real possibility of maintaining it as a center. The parts of a multiversity have no center." To help broaden specialists' minds, Hutchins proposes to halt university expansion whenever enrollment exceeds a few thousand. Instead, he would build smaller universities in which...
