The universities Available to Purchase

It is almost certainly too early to write in general terms about television in the British universities. Although extensive central services have existed in a few universities for some five years now, and cameras have been used in single teaching departments for even longer, one finds the use of the medium being developed in quite various ways depending upon particular local problems and upon the ‘personality’ of the individual university. Asked to give some account of television in the universities, perhaps the most useful thing one can do is to speak from a quite personal standpoint and answer the kind of questions which visitors frequently put to us when they visit our television centre in the University of Glasgow.
