We do not find it easy to comment on this at short
notice. Undoubtedly the two Universities are tending
to recruit their students from two separate and distinct streams of schools. The dangers of this are known and recognised. But it seems doubtful whether the establishment of a common bi-lingual entrance examination is the whole answer to this problem; for example, some consequential changes in the curricula and teaching methods in the schools concerned seem to be a pre- requisite for any change in this direction.
