Abstract: This paper discusses the response of the university, as an institution, to the "nuclear predicatmen" i.e. to the threat of a major nuclear war and its implications. The subject is treated in a rather broad context including teaching, research, conferences, community education, etc., at universities in the United States and Canada. The main emphasis, however, is on undergraduate education. The author's own insitution, the University of California, is examined in the greatest detail. A very limited statistical analysis is presented. The authors conclude that the University's role is still very inadequate and they estimate the amgnitude of additional required efforts.
