Abstract
IN a paper read before the Indian Institute of Architects early this year, Nawab Zain Yar Jung Bahadur, chief architect, Hyderabad State, dealt with the design of a residential university, as exemplified in the new Osmania University in Hyderabad. This has been planned on the American campus principle on a site of 1,600 acres, giving ample space for future expansion and the inclusion of well laid-out grounds of impressive dimensions. The author had previously made a fairly thorough study of university architecture both in Europe and the United States, in which connexion he expressed pleasure at the evidence of a master plan in the design of the English universities of Birmingham and Nottingham, but regrets that it is less evident in the case of Edinburgh and Leeds and in most of the Indian universities.
