“…Prof. Gaudino launched into an attack on the new Center for Development Economics as having Williams move from being an intellectual center to sort of a trade school, you know, that we were not in the business of training minds to look for enlightenment but we were now in the business of training bureaucrats in sort of technical subjects. Well, I’m remembering this now 50 years ago but I still have a visual image of the packed living room there at St. Anthony Hall there and some faculty members, including members of the Economics Department being taken aback. It was a sort of symposium on the concept of truth and all of a sudden this speaker from the Political Science Department is attacking the Economics Department.
