Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New University for London: A Guide to Its History and a Criticism of Its Defects The haste with which these essays have been put together, is only justified by the importance of their reaching those interested in the problem of a University for London, before its solution is permanently settled by the action of Parliament with regard to the draft-charter which will be laid on the table of the House of Commons on its reassembling. No delay was possible which would have allowed of these essays being recast and welded into a more homogeneous whole. The first six essays bear upon the history of the project for a Teaching University for London, and detail the various schemes which have been put forward in succession by Sir George Young, the Convocation and the Senate of the University of London since 1884. The criticism to which these schemes are subjected is not solely negative, it brings out not merely the defects of the successive proposals, but it further suffices to show what the author holds to be the true lines of academic reorganisation in London. At the same time his object in the case of each scheme has been of the nature of a compromise; it has not been to insist on the ideally best, but to suggest feasible modifications which would render current proposals less antagonistic to the ultimate development of a great professorial university in London. Much has happened since the earlier chapters were written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
