The growth of American universities has outstripped private
resources and forced them to rely increasingly on public funds,
especially federal funds. Carl Kaysen asserts that the basis on
which the growing public support has been given in recent years
does not correspond to what the universities are actually doing,
and he surmises that the nature of our governmental processes is
such that a discrepancy of this sort cannot long persist. He
examines the justification for public support of science and
learning and he considers the intellectual and political limits of
these justifications. Are they right? To whom do they appeal, and
how powerfully? Originally published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
