Abstract
The development of the colleges of advanced technology and the Diploma in Technology, between 1956 and 1964, coincided with the gestation of the ‘new’ universities of Sussex, East Anglia, Kent, Lancaster, Warwick and Essex. Of course, at the time, it was not generally assumed that the CATs would become universities and the differences of thinking in the CATs and in the new universities were substantial — generally the CATs were industrially based and technological whereas the new universities were dominated by the avante garde academics of the time and were heavily biased towards the social sciences. But it is worthwhile to notice the similarities between the CATs and the new universities because these institutions now constitute a terrible hang‐over of an idea of a university that was current in the late fifties and is now completely outdated.
