Jo itnsai am Sy, cities are today the very efficiency of bureaucracy militates against the goals of the organisation. What are the paramount goals of universities? To educate their students and to add to knowledge. I'M. the administrative machinery set up to achieve these ends first hampers and then defeats them: for the simple reason that the machinery and the sub-units in the university set up their tlwn goals which conflict with those that are Paramount. To reform the admissions system would be to tamper with the independence of the culleges; to take proper care of graduate students and provide them with seminars and biblio- graphical instruction would be to diminish the time spent in teaching undergraduates; to set up new departments and thus add to knowledge ‘yould force the university to expand; to receive funds from sources other than the UGC would .e to put the university at the mercy of an out- side body; to introduce new examinations would Rto meddle with that intricate concept of the A degree. The subsidiary goals that the setting- (II) of bureaucracy has created now become para- ,,nloUnt. The existence of sub-units, faculties, `'ePartments, colleges creates another set of ends, and much time is spent in defending them. The allegedly rational structure of university admin- istration in effect produces wild irrationality.

Rut it is not true to say that nothing is ever done about this. Cambridge is markedly more efficient than some other universities and indeed 's trying to face certain social problems. How- ever meagre the welcome to sociologists may have to:ce.n, two at least of the major problems are e•Ing tackled. The first is the discrepancy that exists between the lives of the Fellows of Col- leges and those of the equally large number of "1,"Ils who are not Fellows; the Vice-Chancellor "as got an internal Royal Commission, set up under the chairmanship of Lord Bridges, to con- sider it; and its report may well give us material for what is badly needed—a sociological study of the university itself. The second is to examine the content of the Natural Science Tripos, which perhaps more than any other single examination is responsible for determining the pattern of sixth-form education and specialisation in the schools. E par si nittove.
