When did the
federal government
become involved
in funding
university research?
• Before WWII
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Mainly internal sources
Agriculture• Notable exception –
• Morrill Act of 1862: Land-Grant Colleges
• 30,000 acres of federal land/congressional representative to each State
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Sold to provide a perpetual endowment fund for:
• “at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and
classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts…”
• Kentucky (50¢/acre) – Cornell ($5.50/acre)
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.• Second Morrill Act of 1890
• In order to get $, State had to show that race was not a criterion for admission to land-grant
institution or
• Designate a separate land-grant college for blacks
• “1890 land-grants” created all over the then-segregated South
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Hatch Act of 1887: Agriculture Experiment Station
• Annual appropriation – State match required
• Smith-Lever Act of 1914: Cooperative Extension Service
• Annual appropriation – State match required
• During WWII
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• University scientists mobilized to apply expertise to war effort
• National Defense Research Council
• Formed by FDR in June, 1940
• Forum for bringing university/industry/ government scientists together
• 18 month “head-start” on Pearl Harbor
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Office of Scientific Research and Defense (OSRD)
• May 1941
• Dr. Vannevar Bush, Director
• Mission “to explore a possible government role to
encourage future scientific progress.”
• Civilian, not military, control
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• OSRD contracted work to other institutions
• Carnegie Institute of Technology – Large Rocket Lab
• MIT – Radiation Lab
• Western Electric and Bell Labs – Sound Amplification
• Emphasis on concentrated, massive rapid development
• Production from model to field e.g., Japanese torpedo jammer developed in one week
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Three critical secret projects pivotal to allied victory in WWII
• Atomic bomb (Manhattan project)
• Radar
• 1935 – NRL – ship radar
• 1942 – MIT – high-frequency, narrow-beam, high-resolution
• Manufactured by Sperry, Westinghouse, Philco (for aircraft)
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Prior to WWII – timed fuze or contact fuze
• Neither effective against highly maneuverable airplanes
• Section T – Applied Physics Lab at Johns Hopkins University assigned task of developing proximity
fuze for Navy’s 5” guns
• Proximity (variable time) fuze
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Fuze contains miniature radio transmitter-receiver
• Sends out signal
• When signal reflected back from target reaches a certain frequency (caused by proximity to target) a circuit closes firing a small charge which detonates projectile
• Theory
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Components – tiny glass vacuum tubes
• Force of 20,000 g’s when fired (2800 ft./sec. muzzle velocity)
• 25,000 revolutions/minute through rifling grooves
• Moisture
• Self-destruct feature for dudes
• Problems
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Importance to war effort
• James V. Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy said, “The proximity fuze has helped me blaze the trail to Japan. Without the protection this ingenious device has given the surface ships of the fleet, our westward push could not have been so swift and the cost in men and ships would have been immeasurably greater”
• Prime Minister, Winston S. Churchill was quoted with “These so-called proximity fuzes, made in the United States.., proved potent against the small unmanned aircraft (V-1) with which we were assailed in 1944.”
• And Commanding General of the Third Army, George S. Patton said, “The funny fuze won the Battle of the Bulge for us. I think that when all armies get this shell we will have to devise some new method of warfare.”
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• Bush’s final report The Endless Frontier
• Two principles for expanding R & D in U.S. Universities
• Federal government as patron of science
• Government support should ensure a free rein of investigation by scientists into topics and methods of their choice
History: External Support for University Research in U.S.
• This report lead to the establishment of National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1950
• Independent government agency
• National Science Board
• 24 members plus director
• Appointed by President

Overview of Federal Budget
Government Spending as a Share of GDP, 2000
Between 1966 and 1999, spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and interest as a percentage of GDP grew, while spending on defense fell.
Outlays as a Percent of GDP
Total Government Surplus or Deficit as a Percent of GDP
The National Debt
Is
$8.1 Trillion!
U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK The Outstanding Public Debt as of 17
Jan 2006 at 06:35:53 PM GMT is:
The estimated population of the United States is 298,275,804
so each citizen's share of this debt is $27,431.22.
