Abstract
The Land-Grant College is characterized as not having fulfilled its original mission but, instead, of having triumphed in the field of farm technology. The author challenges the American university to use its resources to alleviate city conditions of tension, blight, and human decay- a challenge far greater than that faced in relation to agricultural technology. According to the author there are four things a university should and must do: (1) stop teaching students to distrust the city, (2) develop programs in urban affairs, (3) produce teachers with the knowledge and insight required to handle education in America's ghetto schools, and (4) use research resources to investigate causes of and solutions for present city problems.
