The deeper significance of high-energy physics, as to its contribution 

 to social utility, said the report, lay in its challenge — 



Its challenging technical problems have engaged a group of most inventive 

 and resourceful scientists, on a frontier where technology must be pushed to its 

 limits. They are a reservoir of inventive energy and broadly based scientific and 

 engineering skill from which leadership can be drawn for other scientific enter- 

 prises. It must be recognized that high-energy physics is a unique training ground 

 for some of our most creative people, (p. 1697) 



The dynamic natnre of the field of high-energy physics was demon- 

 strated by discussion of recent new discoveries. Goals were adduced in 

 terms of linking up the new discoveries into coherent theorv — with the 

 aid of further empirical data, to be secured l^y the use of larger and 

 more powerful (higher energy) accelerators,' accelerators ha^'ing a 

 higher density of particles (higher intensity) or, preferably, both. 



The problem of manpower allocation wasconsidered : large acceler- 

 ators needed first-class resident staffs, but not so as to deplete the
