SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT 



time for theorizing about the adequate financing of colleges and 

 universities is past, and action is overdue. 



Passage of the amendment, or of a better one with the same 

 objectives, would constitute a forward-looking method of gov- 

 ernment support of the basic research which is the traditional 

 responsibility of higher education. It would be an act difficult 

 to match in its beneficial impact on the interest of the intelligent 

 citizen in higher education and in its assurance of preserving 

 the freedom and integrity of an instrumentality of incalculable 

 worth to the nation's future.
