Synopsis

An 1846 text examines the necessity of improving England's education system, specifically for lower and middle-class students. The author claims that affordable education opportunities are lacking between secondary schools and university. He proposes that the universities either add new departments to existing colleges or found new institutions entirely to meet this need. Such institutions should offer a university education for 80 pounds per year. This text is a thought-provoking contribution to a historical discussion that continues today about the proper scope and cost of higher education.
