	The Infinite Matrix \| Eileen Gunn \| Editorial 31
		It was the first SF writers, during the age of the Stuarts in Britain, who lit the imaginative fuse that gave rise to all the achievements of contemporary space exploration, microbiological science and medicine.
		It was the Fantasy writers of all ages who kept the flame of culture and civilisation alive during periods of deep depression in human history, and who inspire multitudes of people today to rise to the challenges of life, lifted by the power of other people's visions and dreams.
		The Clarion program is a sterling example of the kind of program that marries academic and creative excellence, an international calling-card for MSU that bespeaks its visionary commitment to fostering brilliant fledgling writers and giving their talents to the world.
