The New Free University (with an introduction by Matthias Vicherat

Ladies and gentlemen, I first reminded you of Emile Boutmy project; I then sketched, alas very superficially, the new curriculum necessary to fulfill our duties as educators in the New Climatic Regime; and I concluded, again much too briefly, on the big turnaround that will shift the research university out of a model so ill-adapted for a situation it could not anticipate. I apologise that I have not found a better way to entertain you during the celebration of our School which more than ever deserves a Latin motto: “primus sine paribus”. Thank you for your patience.
