Abstract
UNIVERSITY statistics of Great Britain for the year 1932-33, recently issued by the University Grants Committee, show that the attendance of students has been well maintained and university finances have a healthy appearance. It would seem that the measures taken to temper the effect on universities in Great Britain of the inclement economic weather prevailing in the past few years have achieved their object. The enrolment of full-time students has been gradually rising since 1924-25 and showed last year a further increase of 1,255-1,267 more men and 12 fewer women. Of the aggregate total of 50,155, five per cent were engaged in research and other advanced work, seventy-seven per cent were reading for a first degree and eighteen per cent for a diploma. Part-time students numbered 13,960, of whom rather more than half were not pursuing regular courses leading to a degree or diploma.
