Abstract

I thinkI should like to start this lecture by saying that the last two or three years have been for many of us in technical colleges the most exciting and perhaps the most exacting period in our experience. I have never before known a time when there was such a ferment of educational ideas going on in colleges; it is a time when the educational content of our schemes is being reconsidered, rethought and refashioned, and when teachers are thinking anew and fundamentally of what and how they should teach. This is so different from our earlier obsession with ‘student‐hours’, a sort of numerical statistical blight which has afflicted us so much in the past.
