Abstract
THE institution in 1946 in the Department of Civil Engineering at University College, London, of the first chair in surveying and photogrammetry in the United Kingdom, to which Dr. C. A. Hart was appointed, has excited considerable interest in the Commonwealth and overseas. This has been particularly so because of recent advances in air survey and of the increasing employment of radar techniques both for air survey and geodetic surveying. At University College funds have been made available for the provision of first-class teaching and research equipment in surveying, with particular reference to photogrammetry. Emphasis on surveying in the Civil Engineering and Geography Schools has long been a feature at the College, and it is now proposed to institute a one-year special course of a postgraduate character in surveying, commencing in October 1948. This course will be arranged so as to provide a training ground for those who wish to enter the Colonial Survey Service or take up other careers of a similar character.
