> The American university thrived historically on the marrying of teaching and research You had me up to here. If there's anything I detested about the 2 years I spent at public university it's that I was taught constantly by inexperienced graduate students and barely got a second with any professor due to their heavy publishing schedule. I was much happier at a school which had the audacious concept of paying the teachers first and foremost to teach students.
