Abstract
WITH the current academic year has ended the five years for which the Parliamentary grant for universities and university colleges in Great Britain was fixed at its present figure, £1,550,000. Since 1919 the duty of advising the government of the day concerning the financial needs of these institutions has been discharged by the University Grants Committee, and this body has accordingly been engaged during the past twelve months in visiting them. In the light of the personal knowledge thus acquired and the various returns annually submitted to it, the Committee has prepared a review of the period 1923–24 to 1928–29 and a report on present needs and problems. These documents have now been published, together with the customary statistical tables for the year 1928–29.
