University and Community
THAT is the function of the University? Is it a gathering of scholars whose primary purpose is to transmit and advance knowledge-in short, an "island of independent thought"? Or is its prime duty that of training people in the various professions so that they can fill a useful place in the community? These questions form the basis of Town and Gown, in which listeners will hear two discussions on the role and status of the University in New Zealand. The first, to be heard from 2YC at 7.30 on Thursday, August 1, considers what the community should expect from the University; the second discussion, to be heard later, will be concerned with what the University expects from the community. J. L. Roberts, a research officer of the Treasury Department, and a graduate of Canterbury and Victoria, will chair both discussions, and the other speakers will be Professor Ian Gordon, Professor of English at Victoria University College, and a member of the University Senate; Arthur Feslier, Wellington Public Relations Officer, and Garry Hanley, personnel manager of a large oil company. In the second discussion Mr Hanley is replaced by G: A. Currie, Vice-Chancellor of the University of New Zealand... Town and Gown will be heard later fom. other rye stations.
