Abstract
THe increasing extent to which British universities are now dependent on Government grants is lomihg the increasing public interest now being taken in their development. Since the almost simultaneous appearance of the Univesity Gants Committee last December and of the ‘working pty’ on University Awards, Sir Walter Moberlys important book has been published, and there has now appeared a useful broadsheet from Political and Economic Planning, “The University Student: Selection and Awards", the first from a new P E P Group which is preparing a report on the future of the British universities. This broadsheet concentrates on the related problems of selecting students capable of profiting by a university education and of providing a sufficient number of scholarships and rewards to bring them to the universities ; it is essentially a discussion of the Working Party's proposals in the light of the principles of university selection involved.
