Abstract
THIS annual, which ‘came of age’ last year, having been first published in 1914, is now so well known that little needs to be said about the current year's issue beyond that it maintains the high standard of its predecessors. By far the greater number of its eleven hundred and odd pages are devoted, as usual, to university staff directories, general information about the several universities and reports of events of the past year. Among the appendixes, those relating to post-graduate scholarships and grants for advanced study and research, and to centres of scientific research and information, have notably expanded in recent years, and now take up a tenth of the whole book. The problem of setting out the information collected on these subjects in a form readily intelligible and adapted for quick reference has been very satisfactorily solved.
