PART 2
Recorded at Aldeburgh on July 7

Massive expansion is in progress in our existing universities; six new universities are in different stages of preparation. Yet no one seems to have thought of translating the piece-meal process of expansion into an imaginative joint building programme such as was pioneered in our post-war schools. Are the universities justified in their insistence on individual patronage if it results in lower standards of building and worse value for money?
