The     American university is 		built on two 

false premises: that all 	teachers 

must add to the existing stock of 
		knowledge 		by 		research, 
and     that all     self-respecting institutions fulfill this role only 

	by employing productive scholars. Of course, the teacher 	must 

keep     reading and      thinking abreast of his time, but    
      this does not mean   that 
they must write and publish.
