The university and segments of industry are becoming more and more alike. As the university becomes tied into the world of work, the professor-at least in the natural and some of the social sciences-takes on the characteristics of an entrepreneur...The two worlds are merging, physically and psychologically...The campus and society are undergoing a somewhat reluctant and cautious merger, already well advanced. M.I.T. is at least as much related to industry and government as Iowa State ever was to agriculture. (Clark Kerr)
