Research can be incorporated into learning, but not in the current university. If the modern-day university was smaller, then research and learning could be conducted side-by-side. The problem plaguing the system today is that there are too many students, mostly of incapable mind; there is only so much room in a research lab. I know this because I worked in one at the University of Florida. It could easily fit five to seven students in addition to the chief researcher. If we cast out those incapable of receiving a true education, we could fit the rest into a lab; research and teaching could coexist. It is an elitist viewpoint, but a valid viewpoint.
