DOI: 10.1063/1.3057107
“We so often tend to think of economic growth, to which we are all devoted, as an end in itself. It’s not. It’s a means to an end. The end is human betterment, human welfare,…greater intellectual freedom; greater opportunity to develop the individual and dignity of the individual, that man can become more creative; that his talent which his Creator has given him can be utilized…. We are trying to make a tangible advance down the road which leads to a finer human person in Pakistan—in the villages, in the cities, in the towns….” These remarks by Director James S. Killen at the end of a 4‐day All Mission ICA conference in Karachi in April 1959 more than justified our having joined four months earlier the Colorado State University Party at the University of Peshawar, a university which only came into existence in 1950.
