Martin Bronfenbrenner
Memorial Lecture
December 5, 1997
-
Professor Krueger began her lecture with
some memories. Among other observations,
she reflected:
-
"Martin is probably the most intellectually
curious person I have ever known. If the
ideal of the university is to question
everything, and to use reason to address
it, no one I have ever known has come
closer to that ideal."
-
Professor Krueger concluded by
summarizing the key propositions of
her lecture, at which time she
speculated:
- "Martin would like that. That part
he would be very happy with. But
the last question is whether Martin
would agree with me. We know, being
Martin, that he could not completely.
He'd argue. I can't begin to think
what his objections would be, but
they would be there, and I'd love to
hear them because I would learn
something yet again."
