520 _ahe Seminar whose proceedings are recorded in this book was concerned with some of the fundamental, and therefore continuing, problems of higher education. Many conferences on higher education concentrate upon a particular area of practical concern - upon university organization and ad-ministration, for example, decision-making, student development, the causes of student drop-out, curriculum design, problems of costing, etc. This one was at bottom philosophical in its interests; concerned with presuppositions often taken for granted in higher education in our time, with why? questions as well as with questions of what? and how? and apt to inquire how relevant some of our present objectives and practices really are.
