Abstract
THOUGH the crisis of distribution may not be so intense in the world of knowledge as in its commercial counterpart, it is yet sufficiently well-marked to make us grateful for anything that serves to lessen the labour involved in its acquisition. There are, so we are informed by the preface of the 1934 Universities Yearbook, seventy universities within the confines of the British Empire—and each takes a growing interest in the affairs of the other. This interest has been forced upon them by such facts as that, in 1933–34 (excluding Trinity College, Oxford, from which no return was received), there were 5,180 students from other countries in the universities and university colleges of Great Britain and Ireland.
