Abstract
THE usefulness of this valuable reference book is attested by the sorry condition to which the last issue, that dated 1940, must have been reduced in any institution or department in touch with university affairs. The war-time Supplement issued in 1941 carried on the information for but a short space, and it has been necessary to wait six years before the complete data relating to the staffs of the universities of the British Empire could be made available once more. Even now, due to the rapid expansion taking place in the universities themselves, and also to the longer time now required for printing such a book, it is not claimed that the information is up to date in the sense it used to be. The new volume contains about a hundred pages more than that for 1940-an indication of the growth of the universities that has taken place.
