Abstract: | Since July 1970, when the independent and reorganised University of Dar es Salaam was established, events, centred upon a discussion concerning the best format for student organisation and participation within the new national university, have underscored some aspects of a dual set of problems: 1. how best to contain (and if possible transform) the preconceptions and the activities of the bulk of the students, and 2. how best to guide and encourage the enthusiasms of the more militant minority. The first of these problems was that of student conservatism, but it was an earlier set of events, those which transpired during the academic year 1969-70, which graphically demonstrated the nature of the second problem - the dilemma of radicalism on the Hill. This latter issue, in particular, provides the primary focus for the present essay. Notes. |
