Abstract

There are now in the United Kingdom over 205 000 undergraduate and post graduate students. Ten years ago, there were less than half that number. This expansion has, above all, produced an academic situation in which the comfortable pre‐Robbins concepts have been in some cases swept from the board. The number of universities has increased to 36 in England, seven in Scotland, two in Ulster, and a complex of eight colleges in Wales. Within a decade Sussex has deposed Oxbridge in the popularity table, and the other six foundations — East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Lancaster, York and Warwick — have grown in stature at a rate which belies their present modest numbers.
