Abstract
IN an address delivered at Oxford during the annual meeting of the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux, Prof. A. M. Carr-Saunders suggested that in the tendency for the modern university to give professional training we are returning to the old tradition, when the prime function of a university was to equip its members for life, even though life was to them represented at first by no more than the Law or the Church. In this view he is supported by Prof. S. Alexander, who recently suggested to a Manchester audience that the inclusion of technology is the distinctive feature of university work and the best key to the understanding of the real business of a university (Political Quarterly, July-September).
