...later lament that "self-indulgence could turn free universities into a travesty of education in which 'rapping' replaces research, and reason gives way to sensuality." That's not what we want and we doubt that it will happen. But we would like to include some rapping in all research, and we would like to see reason tempered a bit by humanism, if not sensuality.
