Scientists have said, "Given suf–
ficient knowledge, we will salve al!
problems, remove al! human evils."
1n the decade of the sixties, Dr.
Clark Kerr, president of the Uni–
versity of California, Berkeley, said
the modern university is a fac–
tory-manufacturing knowledge.
In that decade the world's fund of
knowledge doubled-but world
