ABSTRACT

Summarization of this symposium seems superfluous, in that the topics have been presented by men of unexcelled competence.

Morris expressed concern because nonteachers who are research-oriented are enthusiastically recommending a uniform, science-oriented, academic program for undergraduate students in Pood Industry. Many of these people believe that their recommendations should be accepted by the Education Committees of professional and quasi-professional societies, and that these Committees should assume the prerogative of approving only strongly science-oriented curricula for students majoring in Food Industry.

Many of us in the academic community and in industrial organizations believe that we must preserve the opportunity for options in academic preparation, because industry needs many different kinds of people with many different aptitudes. I believe all students in Food Industry programs should acquire sufficient knowledge in the physical, biological, and social sciences, communications, and humanities, to permit them to derive maximum benefit from the specialized portion of their academic preparation. Those with exceptional aptitude for science should develop this talent.
