‘Knowledge has to flow from those who<br />

know things to those who make things. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are many forms these flows can take, from<br />

the lectures, philosophical societies, and<br />

encyclopedias <strong>of</strong> the eighteenth century to<br />

the community colleges and internet <strong>of</strong> the<br />

twenty-first. But the institutions that facilitate<br />

these flows have to exist.’<br />
