Abstract

... Large numbers of . . . faculty members are switching from teaching to research financed by grants. There is more prestige in research. A good teacher is revered by his students . . . . He may even, on occasion, win the $5oo alumni award for best teacher of the year. On the other hand, the college researcher, with millions of dollars from the federal government, as well as private industry, rides high . . . . But his loyalty is to the laboratory, not the classroom.'
