<br />1371 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Because we are an institution that has a <br />very great stake in your program and we are <br />an institution engaged in training people <br />who will do things that are determined by <br />your program; and finally, we are an insti- <br />tution with the capability for conducting <br />some of the type of research that you have <br />heard explained in this project here in the <br />last half hour. <br /> <br />I think with respect to the latter I <br />will just let Mr. Barnard make my speech. <br />If you would just repeat at this place in <br />your recording what he had to say a moment <br />ago about the importance of developing basic <br />information sometimes before you see the <br />immediate need for using basic information <br />because you never can just turn the crank <br />and get it in a hurry when you need it in a <br />hurry. Some of these things need to be done <br />well in advance of their need and bodies like <br />this need to undertake some of these projects <br />as much on faith as they do on the basis of <br />immediate need. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Our research at this institution involves <br />principally the kind of research that is aimed <br />at solving or answering some immediate ques- <br />tions and always, I would say weekly, we <br />struggle with the problems introduced by our <br />not having gathered back in the days when it <br />might have been gathered, information that is <br />needed now; or not having conducted back in <br />the days when it might have been conducted, <br />research that helps explain the basic issues <br />involved in some of these proglems. So it is <br />our hope that your Board and that other pub- <br />lic agencies of similar character will, from <br />time to time, leave Denver (I know how con- <br />venient it is to meet do.m there, especially <br />for a group whose membership is drawn from <br />allover the State) and will make it a point <br />to meet on the campuses of these institutions <br />which collectively form the underpinning of, <br />if you please, the future of this State. <br /> <br />It is in that vein that I extend to you <br />a most cordial welcome to our campus today <br />and express to you my thanks for your willing- <br />ness to come up here and to devote a good <br />deal of your time to just the matter of look- <br />ing at some facilities in a particular area <br />
