Eighteen Years Of University Extension (1891)

By Robert Davies Roberts

Book Overview

""Eighteen Years of University Extension"" is a historical account of the University Extension movement in the United Kingdom from 1873 to 1891. Written by R. D. Roberts, who was a lecturer and organizer for the movement, the book details the origins and development of the movement, which aimed to bring university-level education to working-class adults who were unable to attend traditional universities. Roberts describes the various methods used to deliver the courses, including lectures, correspondence courses, and study circles. He also discusses the impact of the movement on both the students and the universities themselves, as well as the challenges faced by the organizers in establishing and maintaining the program. The book provides a valuable insight into the history of adult education and the democratization of higher education in the UK.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
