SUCCESSFUL AND INCIDENTALLY THEY HELP A NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES TO EARN A USEFUL REVENUE FROM RESEARCH CONTRACTS AND ROYALTIES. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT, ESPECIALLY IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS TUDIES, THERE WILL BE AN EVER INCREASING NEED FOR THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN INSTITUTES OF ADVANCED LEARNING AND INDUSTRY. THERE IS SO MUCH THEY CAN DO TOGETHER FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY.
THE SCIENCE PARKS ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE. THE LARGEST IN BRITAIN IS AT CAMBRIDGE. IT WAS ESTABLISHED BY TRINITY COLLEGE IN THE EARLY 1970'S AND OCCUPIES A VERY LARGE SITE. IT HAS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAMBRIDGE AS A CENTRE FOR HIGH TECH RESEARCH AND I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY A PRODUCT OF THAT ADVANCED RESEARCH, A PAIR OF ARCHIMEDES COMPUTERS MADE BY ACORN OF CAMBRIDGE. THE ARCHIMEDES IS THE FASTEST SYSTEM IN ITS CLASS: AN EXAMPLE OF MODERN BRITISH EXPERTISE IN A FIELD IN WHICH WE WERE, OF COURSE, PIONEERS. THESE TWO COMPUTERS ARE A GIFT FROM THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT WITH OUR BEST WISHES. ACORN'S HONG KONG OFFICE WILL BE SUPPLYING THE SOFTWARE THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO ESTABLISH A POWERFUL AND VERSATILE DESK-TOP PUBLISHING UNIT WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY. SOFTWARE AND THE DESIGNING OF NEW SYSTEMS IS AN ARE WHERE BRITAIN HAS WON AN INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION: AS A MATTER OF FACT THE COMPUTING SERVICES INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING SECTORS OF THE BRITISH ECONOMY. MR VICE CHANCELLOR IN MAKING THIS PRESENTATION I OFFER YOU MY CONGRATULATIONS AT THE EXTRAORDINARY PROGRESS YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES HAVE MADE AND I WISH YOU EVERY SUCCESS IN PREPARING FOR THE OPENING OF THE UNIVERSITY IN 1991'!
