The extra‐mural function of technical colleges

Abstract

While the tradition of universities has long been to offer some of the fruits of scholarship to those who are neither staff nor students, this has not been the case until recently with technical colleges. It is true that there have been notable exceptions like the older Polytechnics, but few would claim much more than this. In both cases the emphasis has been on the liberal arts, springing from studies of philosophy, literature, and history with developments into a much wider range of studies, yet generally remaining within the confines of the anticipated interests of the ‘whole man’.
