Abstract
THE penultimate paragraph of page 3 of the editorial article in Nature of January 5 shows once again the misconceptions which are prevalent regarding the work and function of a college of advanced technology and its relationship to any nearby university or university college. It appears to depend on the assumption that a college of advanced technology will try to attract students who are qualified to enter a university, or that all students who wish to take advanced work should travel the short distance to the university. It also assumes that the future of technician courses has been overlooked. It is difficult also to see why Salford has been singled out. There are colleges of advanced technology in London—none very far from the University of London and its colleges.
