Extract

The advertisement of one of our automobile manufacturers 10 to 15 years ago ended with the slogan, “Ask the man who owns one.” Probably my presence on this program on institutional restructuring can be explained best by paraphrasing this ad to read “Ask the man who's been through one.” Although I shall describe Vermont's experience with reorganization, in the process I want to discuss a few ideas on the changing role of the university and the land grant college in the last half of the 20th century. I readily confess that many of the ideas expressed in this paper are not original; I have drawn heavily upon recent writings of James Bonnen (1), Emery Castle (2, 3), and Earl Heady (4), and I recommend the original articles to you.
