Changing the Federal-University Partnership
Richard N. Zare
Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5080

January 1998
Vol. 75 No. 1
p. 16

Abstract
A diamond jubilee anniversary for the Journal of Chemical Education is a time to learn from history and a time to look forward. It is also such a time for the federalÐuniversity partnership. That partnership, having its antecedents in the land-grant colleges established after the Civil War, witnessed rapid growth following World War II and the launch of Sputnik, but now shows signs of weakening as each partner demands more of the other and seems to offer less. There is no question that the university system will survive and that some relationship will exist between it and the Federal government. The question is whether this relationship will be that of a functioning partnership or that of contractor and contractee. If only the latter, then we will have lost something quite precious.
