ABSTRACT
So for example, in the late 1960s it began to appear that the universities were not adequately performing that service-students were asking questions, they were thinking independently, they were rejecting a lot of the Establishment value-system, challenging all sorts of things-and the corporations began to react to that, they began to react in a number of ways. For one thing, they began to develop alternative programs, like I.B.M. began to set up a kind of vocational training program to produce engineers on their own: if M.I.T. wasn’t going to do it for them the way they wanted, they’d do it themselvesand that would have meant they’d stop funding M.I.T. Well, of course, things never really got out of hand in the Sixties, so the moves in that direction were very limited. But those are the kinds of pressures there are.
