The special report "Redefining Higher Education," Nov. 16, should remind us that just as our nation is in trouble in the industrial sector for a lack of sufficient research, so too are we in trouble with a lack of sufficient research in education. Will we ever learn? I have grave doubts. William E. Seachrist, Hudson, Ohio
