Abstract
IN the conception of the strategy of research which we have thus far developed, the first place has been given to the supply of research workers of the type required to serve the needs of the broad programmes of research contemplated. We have stressed the need for creative and imaginative minds, and in considering the functions of the universities in training such workers, it was recognized that while specialists are essential they may have to take their place in team-work, and that freedom of research requires that the specialist should be competent to move freely across the compartments of science which are at present imposed by the teaching and organization of science. Further, it was recognized that provision must be made to assist in bringing to the fore directors or managers of research of the requisite calibre.
