Abstract
LORD HALDANE'S conception of the division of the country into areas in each of which a “civic university” caps the provincial education scheme is coming to be recognised as not only wise and far-seeing, but also essential. In Georgian and Victorian days a university was looked upon as primarily an institution for the completion of the teaching work of public schools. The wider view is taken now of the university as a focus of the intellectual life of the community which it serves and as a centre for research.
