International Symposium: Training of United States and Foreign Nationals for Leadership in Dairying in Developing Nations

Role of the United States University in International Education and Research¹

International Programs in Agriculture, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana

ABSTRACT

The university in the United States has been many things to many people. It has been the seat of knowledge for the training of our people in the host of professions required by a highly modern society. It has been the source of the continuous flow of knowledge that has been the driving force behind a society which has achieved a standard of living unequaled in history. It has been the cradle of intellectual discourse, concepts and ideas which, when appropriately sifted and sorted, have provided the intellectual basis for the construction of our society. It has been critic and counsel of public policy at all levels of local, state and national issue. In short, far from being the ‘ivory tower,’ it has involved itself deeply in the affairs of the nation. It has responded effectively to the demands of people, public institutions and private institutions over the wide range of events in which education, knowledge and intellectual services are essential to progress.
