1. The student numbers are provisional and relate to October, 1967. They exclude 590 full-time students on" courses not of a university standard" and part-time students.
2. The recurrent grant per full-time student is based on the University Grants Committee's allocation of quinquennial grant for the academic year 1967–68, as shown in their "Annual Survey for the Academic Year 1966–67" (Cmnd. 3510). It therefore excludes grants to meet the cost of local authority rates, grants from other Govern- 30W ment Departments and all other sources of income, which represent about 30 per cent. of all university income.
3. The grant per full-time student was obtained by dividing the recurrent grant to each university by the total of full-time undergraduates and postgraduates.
4. The figures in Column 3 cannot be directly compared since they reflect differing factors such as the proportion of undergraduates and postgraduates, student distribution by faculties, length and nature of courses, amount and nature of research and stage of development of the institution.
