The British Government has accepted, as a - broad objective, the recommendation of the ’ Iarlow Committee that the output of university- trained scientists should be doubled "at the earliest possible moment." At the same time it is hoped to double the number of arts students within the next ten years. There were 22,000 oots students and 27,000 science students in nglish universities before I939- The response of the universities to this challenge has been mixed. Both \Oxford and Cambridge said a large increase in the number of their students was impossible due to the con- gestion already visible at the universities and . to the further fact that the personal tutorial I system they follow cannot be reconciled with indiscriminate expansion. When the replies of all the universities were weighed, it was found that they believed it would be possible to increase the student pop- ;-,.-e-;;>:-.~_._ y .-.. .- r- ulotion within the next ten years by only 45 per cent instead of the I00 per cent urged by the Iorlow Committee. ‘ _ ' To achieve even this more modest ob|ect- Ivo, the government will be required to spend ' more money on university education than it has boon accustomed to do in the past. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has raised the uni- versity grant to nine million pounds, an increase of 3 I-2 million pounds over last_year‘s figure. While they naturally welcome this larger as- sistance, the universities are somewhat restive } out two difficulties they foresee. ' They are afraid, firstly, that this concert- ad emphasis on having the universities adjust themselves to immediate social need will tend to disturb the balance of university education In Great Britain. After all, it is not the primary function of a university to turn out engineers or research cialists. Its vocation is to train students in o e humanities of scholarship and touch them with the passion for disinterested learning._ It cannot do this by working to an arbitrary time- tobls. , Secondly, and equally important, _tho uni- i vanities are afraid that with the increased l money voted by the government w_ill come an ‘in- Wing; desire to meddle in university affairs. ‘irotexception they are resolved to guard fhgir academic freedom with the utmost vigor against any such threat. These fine scruples, comments an ox- ghange, may seem wire-drawn to some’ _Can- edians. But the mature academic tradition of the British Isles is not lightly to be mocked. It would be wiser counsel to urge that these de- "Mymgnr; be weighed and pondered hero in Canada. i I Monty's English It was Field Marshal Montgomery who announced, after the Battle of El Alomein, that everything was tickety-boo and, on the occasion bf tho Allied landings in Southern Italy, that the troops were full of beans and had their tailsrhigh. "We were therefore gratified but by no means surprised," says an American exchange, "when he told a reporter in Washington last woek that he considered West Point ‘absolutely the cat's whiskers.’ This represents, for an Englishman, a practically current adoption of American slang. According to Partridge, ‘cat's whiskers,’ a variant of ‘cat's pyjamas’, dates from only about I920. It's reassuring to fihd that a military figure of the importance of the .Viscount of Alomein is, as they will be saying over there in I948, so 'hep' (a successor to that vulgar neologism, ‘There ain't no flies on me,‘ which dates from circa I895).

The estimate, based on conditions during the fourth week in September, is 24 per cent greater than last year and nine per cent greater than the five-year average. Substantially heavy yields per acre and heavier planting are credited with the increase. o- n- n- a Our External officials, who corresporid to tho British Foreign Office staff, arc on the move this month.

Q I Q William Morris, poet, artist, socialist, died this date I896; associated in art with Burno- Jones, Ford Madox ‘Brown, and Rossetti: his outstanding poetic works were: The Defence of Guenevere, The Life and Death of Jason, and The Earthly Paradise. In prose he wrote much, including his masterpiece, The House of the Wolfings. His socialism was aesthetic; poverty to him meant lack of pictures and artistic joys, hence his anger against a system which entail- ed poverty: "There are such as foin would be the worst Amongst all men, since best they cannot be, So strong is that wild lie that men call pride." I i I O Apparently the ready tongu! of Britain's famous wartime Prime Minister is a family idiosyncrasy, as one Australian police sergeant discovered recently. In the Dorrigo country of New South Wales lives a cousin of Winston Churchill, who, naturally, is a center of inter- est. Wearing a long, tawny beard, ragged pants at half most height and sandshoos, the local member of the Churchill clan recently turned up for his gas ration tickets at the pol- ice station. On the score of his beard, the sergeant remarked: "You know you'd much improve your looks if you shaved your whiskers." “Think so," was tho answer. "Well, let mo tell you, sergeant, that if you grow a beard it would much improve your looks. It would hide some of your cheek.“ Churchill's relative received his tickets and was shown the door in record time. I I O Captain Russell writes to The Times!
