THE CHAIRLADY: We would be delighted to have

it.

DR. KUHN: And that should be considered the
|
|
4
|
official position of the university. In the course of
|
|
e
|
teaching, research and all the many various activities
|
|
6
|
that a university engages in, whether it is the Univer-
|
|
7
|
sity of Maryland or any across the country, as a public
|
|
B
|
university, it is not unusual for the research activities
|
|
9
|
the information that is dispersed or disseminated to be
|
|
10
|
at variance with the popular thinking or the mood of the
|
|
11
|
moment, and I think, more nnd more, the universities
|
|
12
|
have come to be regarded as centers in which there must
|
|
13
|
be constant search for the truth and when information is
|
|
14
|
developed, new knowledge is developed, this must be dis-
|
|
15
|
persed and disseminated, and while it in no way should
|
|
16
|
govern the people -- all people should have access to
|
|
17
|
this in their deliberations to determine from among
|
|
18
|
various alternatives or courses of action.
|
|

|
It is not unusual when a university or its
|
|
20
|
faculty or its administrative people are presenting an
|
|
21
|
idea that is not necessarily in tune with the moment for
|
