On Legitimizing Public-Service Science in the University

Feld, B. T.

Daedalus, 104, 1, 244-247, W 75

Causes for this phenomenon are examined and incentives are proposed to increase the interest in pure science. An increase in support of public service oriented scientific research is emphasized as the major incentive. (DE)
