Abstract
THE need for more effective organisation in the universities of Great Britain for the interchange of views atall levels and in all the fields concerned has been recognized in the Barlow Report and also in reports from theParliamentary and Scientific Committee, Association of University Teachers and other bodies. The last repori from the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee suggested that the annual conference of representatives of the different universities and of the Association of University Teachers might well provide the basis for some such morepermanent and active means. If this conference set up standing committees and invited specialist advice from outside the universities, it might become the active and influential consultative body which has long been needed in university affairs, and to provide which a Universities Council had previously been recommended by the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee as well as by the Association of University Teachers.
