The article focuses on the generation of undergraduates which in two decade will provide the country's political, cultural and industrial leadership. The word conservative has emotional overtones which causes most of them to reject it as a designation for themselves. Yet it is true that, politically speaking, they are probably much more conservative thin a comparable group would have been twenty-five years ago. Teachers know students best and their opinion is of great importance. If there is a paradox in their attitude it is that they regard themselves as individualists and independents while maintaining the intellectual attitude.
