Abstract
IN his account of the British Association meeting on the education of scientists in Nature, October 22, p. 270, Prof. M. W. Thring reports that students who have obtained a General Certificate of Education examination in six subjects, of which three are at the Advanced Level, have reached the minimum requirements for entry to a university. These attainments are, in fact, much higher than are specified by the majority of British universities for entrance purposes.
