...kind of intellectual soul that creates moral authority. "There is only one justification for universities, as distinguished from trade schools," argues Robert Hutchins. "They must be centers of criticism. 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 all major disciplines would be in touch, giving both scholars...

The real growth of the gross national product, not counting mere price increases, dropped from an annual rate of 6.4% in last year's first quarter to 2.8% in this year's first quarter. Even so, a FORTUNE survey shows that businessmen are still in an expansionist mood; 77% of those polled expect further increase in sales over the next twelve months.
