摘要:

AbstractThe New Universities of the 1960s began as a dream and degenerated into a myth before waking up to reality. The dream was to reform English higher education by example: to recover advanced general education, restore small‐group teaching, renew interest in research, introduce cross‐disciplinary subjects, and rebuild community in green‐field, residential sites. Early euphoria turned to disillusionment, born of unrealistic expectations and student unrest. Finally, they achieved solid institutional success but failed to transform national higher educ

摘要:

AbstractThe plans of the New Universities for the Humanities had little in common: indeed Warwick was distinguished by having no plan at all, only a very few general guidelines. The success of developments in the Humanities at Warwick and the other New Universities is adumbrated, and it is pointed out that this could not have been due to any prior blueprints. Rather, the open and liberal atmosphere of their foundation and the commitment to that attitude of their founding staff is claimed to be the explanation. While today the circumstances of their foundation could not be reproduced, in spite of present difficulties the distinctive and still vital spirit of the New Universities should be cherished.

AbstractThis paper traces the way in which the physical design of the New Universities reflected the aspirations of their founders. It goes on to analyse the relationship between the architectural vision and the reality of the needs and perceptions of rapidly developing institutions.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper will attempt to do two things. First, to try to establish the context in which the New Universities presently operate, both in terms of the overall shape and structure of higher education in Britain and in terms of the likely evolution of this system. Second, to look forward by attempting to discuss how the new universities’ leading characteristics, their achievements, fit into this changing pattern. Will they be assets or handicap
