Some Thoughts on University Education

Originally published in 1948, and derived from the fifth annual lecture of the National book league in 1947, this text by classist and university administrator Sir Richard Livingstone affirms the importance of universities as centres of higher learning, but also critiques their shortcomings and examines the various forces then shaping undergraduate education. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of education, and university education in particular.
