THE RELEASE OF STUDENTS SIR, —I read with considerable interest the
letter by Messrs. French, Boulton, and Mitchell in The Spectator of November 16th. They refer to students.most of whom " are over twenty-two, have two more years' training to complete, and no immediate prospect of return." In addition to this, I think that something should be done for young men, like myself, who left school at eighteen years of age and were called up straight away without even having the advantage of a short course of studies at a University and who are desirous of going to University now.
It is possible that eventually something will be done, but a clear state- ment of Government policy would be most welcome. As matters are at present it is impossible to make any plans for the future owing to the high release groups of most students in the Forces. If nothing is done At is highly probable that many students may have to abandon the idea of a University education by the time that they are released.—Yours
