Abstract
THE Merchant Venturers' Technical College, which provides and maintains the faculty of engineering in the University of Bristol, has issued a prospectus for the academic year 1921–22. A prominent feature is the “sandwich” scheme, which engineering students have the option of adopting. By this arrangement the course of five years is divided into three periods of ten months each, which are spent at the University, and three periods of fourteen, two, and fourteen months respectively, spent in engineering works. More than twenty well-known engineering firms in Great Britain co-operate with the University for this course, in many cases offering to receive students with reduced, or even without, premium. The scheme provides an opportunity for a thoroughly well-balanced training for the profession.
