Abstract
MORE than one organization is discussing the post-war development of university education. A committee of the British Association on post-war university education has been at work on this problem for more than a year and has already published an interim report (NATURE, 150, 716 ; 1942), and the Association of University Teachers is also discussing a draft report of a committee which has been considering the future developments of university education. It was a happy inspiration, therefore, which caused the Association of Professors and Lecturers of Allied Countries in Great Britain to arrange for a conference at which they could discuss with their British colleagues both the fundamental question of “The Function of a University in a Modern Community” and the equally vital problem of “Methods of Practical Co-operation between Allied Universities in the Future”. The conference was held on April 10, by kind permission, in the rooms of the Royal Institution.
