Abstract

Government policy is inevitably like an axe in the hands of a woodman rather than a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon. The policy recommended by the Committee on Scientific Manpower of pressing the 'best' science and engineering graduates straight into industry after graduation could very well result in the felling of the whole tree of university research.
