Hull Polytechnic
Abstract
We have referred earlier to the controversy surrounding the refusal by the Department of Education and Science to grant polytechnic status to the four Hull colleges — namely the College of Technology, the College of Commerce, the College of Art and the Nautical College. Though we agree that the four colleges in no way constitute a polytechnic, it would be foolish to dismiss them as valid institutions. Similarly it should not be thought that our criticism of three of the present premises implies that the staff and standards are particularly low. Throughout, there were echoes of the ‘polytechnic’ argument and, on the part of the College of Technology, embarrassment as to the conditions in which their less fortunate colleagues now work. What is remarkable is that such conditions have been tolerated for so long.
