	1999 Wiesner Symposium Transcript (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Wiesner Symposium series was born out of a sense of frustration; a sense that the University community and particularly the Research University community was not playing its full role in shaping national policy - policy regarding post-secondary education in general and the nation's research agenda in particular.
		One of the stated purposes of the Symposium series was to honor the memory of Jerome B. Wiesner, a former President of MIT, distinguished alumnus of the University of Michigan, a leader in higher education and a key architect of the government university partnership in research.
		Wiesner One was a year in the planning and was designed to address the nature of the government university partnership from both theoretical and pragmatic viewpoints.

		Wiesner took office as MIT's 13th president on July 1, 1971, and served in that post until June 30, 1980, when he retired and resumed the title of Institute Professor, a position reserved for a handful of the Institute's most distinguished faculty, and which he had held from 1962 to 1971.

		All buildings are forced to adapt over time because of physical deterioration, changing surroundings and the life within--yet very few buildings adapt gracefully, according to Brand.
