Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a crucial historical record, explores the development and origins of the University Extension Movement in Scotland, beginning in 1874. The author methodically traces the genesis of the movement, from early efforts like Professor Hutton Balfour's lectures for women in 1845 to the establishment of Queen Margaret College in 1883. Drawing from various sources, including the archives of the University of St. Andrews, the book details the expansion of University Extension throughout Scotland, including Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh. The author examines the reasons for the eventual decline of the movement in some areas while highlighting its ongoing success in others, such as the Perth University Education Society. This book provides valuable insights into the history of higher education in Scotland and the challenges and achievements of bringing university-level learning to a wider audience.
