Abstract
THE almost simultaneous publication of the Nuffield College Statement "The Problem Facing British Universities" and the symposium on "Entry and Careers" in The Universities Quarterly for August provides valuable material for further discussion on the expansion of the universities. The former Statement brings together much useful statistical information as well as collecting in its chapters on the demand for university graduates estimates of intake to the professions which are not otherwise conveniently accessible. Moreover, in the further chapter on the flow from the schools the Statement does something to meet a point made by Dr. Eric James, high master of the Manchester Grammar School, at the British Association conference on "The Place of Universities in the Community" last year, as well as to supply a factual background to Dr. J. F. Mountford and Mr. James Hemming‘s contribution to the symposium. Indeed, the Statement contains so much factual information that it is not easy to see the wood for the trees, and the conclusions seem, to indicate that the members of the Nuffield Committee have not been entirely sure of themselves for that reason.
