University Questions
W. PARKYN gave himself a tough * job in the first of the 4¥YA Winter Mmurse Talks, "The University in the iMmiodern World." After tracing the history of curriculum expansion over several hundreds of years, he arrived at his concise picture of a modern university catering to minds of a classical bent and also to a host of specialised techni-
cians. But it is one thing to say whet a University has become and another to decide where it should go. New Zealand has. probably a higher student population, on the average, than any other country in the
world. The question is, how high should it be? Should a University cater for all who wish it, or are courses to be restricted to small numbers of the most intelligent applicants for entry? These are big problems. which the layman, luckily, is in no position to solve; but by listening to further talks in this series we are promised that we will at least understand the problems themselves and the suggestions which may be put forward for dealing with them.
