Abstract
ONE session at the sixth Congress of the Universities of the Commonwealth, which Was held in Oxford during July 19– 23, was devoted to what is perhaps the most fundamental of all the problems which face a university : What should be the relation between teaching and research? Should one think of a university primarily as a place where learned men learn more? Or should it be a place where learned men, from their reserves of information, instruct the comparatively ill-informed? Dr. W. T. S. Stallybrass, vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, presided at the discussion.
