The question of the relationships between universities and the
state is one of considerable current concern and debate. This book
studies the development of the modern university system in England
from the mid-nineteenth century to the outbreak of the Second World
War, focusing on the role of the state. In this formidabe study,
the author covers a range of key areas, including:
* a review of the reforms of the ancient universities, the
creation of civic universities and the formation of the federal
London University
* an examination of the co-ordinated system in the early years of
the twentieth century and the inter-war period
* an analysis of universities as modenising agencies of the
state
* a discussion of such issues as technical versus literary
curricula, the clash between central and local authorities, and the
output of universities in terms of the needs of the state and the
economy.
Students of history and education, academic historians will find
this an informative and important text.
