Theme of ISC
Theme of ISC
The theme of "A Free University in a Free Society" had differing stresses of interpretation.
Some delegations, such as Scotland, placed the major stress on the independence and autonomy of the university in its search for truth. Others, such as Nigeria and Tanganyika, placed more importance on the social role of the University in the society of which it forms part.
Final agreement on this Issue saw a call for a University "autonomous In its functions yet conditioned by the needs and aspirations of its people."
