We have accordingly been surprised
to find the University as a whole, and the Faculty of
Engineering in particular, bulking so largely in the
Government Report.
We deal separately below with the following aspects
of the Government Report:-
(A) Criticisms of the internal working of the
Faculty of Engineering.
(B) Criticisms of the value of our Engineering
Graduates.
(C) The University's relations with Local Industry.
(D) The University's relationship with Technical
Education in the Colony.

SECTION A.
Criticisms of the internal working

Faculty of Engineering.
Workshop Courses (G.R. Paras. 4 to 8).
On investigation we find the workshop exercises to
be very good, well graded, and suited to the capacities
of the students, giving very considerable variety of
interesting manual work and experience of both hand and
machine tools. We agree with the Government Report
(Para. 8) that fuller records of workshop practice might
with advantage be kept. We recommend that marks be
awarded to each student for each job done, and that such
marks be preserved for reference in a special register.
In saying this however we do not forget that with
the rapid increase in numbers now being experienced in
the Engineering Faculty, the closer supervision and more
individual attention which this implies may be impractic-
able without some increase of workshop staff.
