Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Yearbook of the Universities of the Empire 1914 The Congress which met in London in July 1912 was attended by delegates of all the fifty-three Universities of the Empire. At their final meeting the delegates resolved that it is desirable that a bureau should be established in London, maintained by contributions from the several Universities, for the purpose of disseminating information upon all matters of common interest. Amongst the duties specifically assigned to the Bureau were those of making arrangements for the assembling of a Congress at intervals of five years and the publication of a Yearbook. For the rest, it was to undertake such duties as may be suggested to it by the Universities from time to time. The Director of the Imperial Institute most kindly acceded to the request of the Committee by providing accommodation for the office of the Bureau within the building under his charge. In this office the work of the Bureau has been carried on since the commencement of the current year. A considerable number of inquiries have been addressed to the Secretary by Universities, learned societies, and individuals, and various returns of information have been prepared. In compiling the Yearbook the Committee have had in view the preparation of a conspectus of the Calendars of the several Universities which will present a series of pictures of their various activities. Their object has been to prepare a book of use both to persons responsible for university organization and to students, especially advanced students, who are looking out for opportunities of study and research. These comparative presentations will, it is hoped, enable the authorities of Universities to see at a glance what is being done elsewhere. To the student they will display the fields of knowledge which the several Universities especially cultivate. The record of outstanding events in the lives of the Universities during the academic year which has recently closed, and of changes in their personnel, will serve as materials for their history. For authoritative information reference must of course be made to the official publications of the several Universities. Every endeavour has been made to ensure accuracy in the summaries prepared for the Yearbook, but errors may, not improbably, have escaped detection. This is the more likely seeing that, owing to want of time, it was not found possible to submit the drafts of all the sections to the Correspondents of the Bureau.
