Abstract
THE fifty-third annual report of Chelsea Poly technic is interesting because of the attractive way in which its items have been presented. Besides the usual information about the number and range of classes and examination successes, the report contains a detailed analysis of the occupations of evening students, the geographical distribution of students, the kind of research undertaken by advanced students and particulars of services rendered by members of the staff in a voluntary capacity to various kinds of learned and other societies. The examination statistics show that, during the last two years, one D.Sc, five Ph.D.s and seventeen M.Sc.s were obtained, figures of considerable significance for those who wish to see some evidence that the recommendations of the Percy Committee on Higher Technological Education have not been forgotten. This report, so clearly and precisely presented, is a fine example of what such a document can be in building up the corporate spirit of a large institution.
