Typed note affixed to front endpaper: “From: Ian Novak Publishing Co. and the Authors” and written above in pencil “ack 4/1/65”. Page 102 earmarked and passage highlighted in pencil: “Several generations of students have commonly referred to Melbourne University as ‘the shop’; from this study there is every reason to believe that the term might apply equally well to the University of Sydney, and indeed, that it might aptly characterize the whole of Australian university education. An implication of the description, whatever its affectionate use from time to time, is that the university is an institution open at specified times for the dispensing of information which a student may gain in carefully measured packages; and that by acquiring a sufficient supply of these packaged lots he may eventually gain a qualification to earn a living in a lucrative possession.”
