He then suggested, “Intensify your own thinking and never be ashamed of it so long as it is yours.” Dr. Cutten reminded listeners of the fact that even neutrons refuse to be crowded and men tioned also that we might learn something from even a lowly neutron in that each of them is suited for a particular purpose.
