On the Teaching of Mathematics
Cogwheels and Computors by F. M. ARSCOTT Head of the Department of Mathematics, Battersea
College of Technology

Where do we go from here?
Two talks by Allan Rodaway, Reader in English Literature, University of Nottingham

Mr. Rodway thinks that literary criticism has been either too speculative and subjective, or, when it tried to be objective, something other than literary criticism. He seeks a criticism of 'texture' and 'structure.'
