Australian university funding and standards debate at Canberra College
Professor Herbert Burton during a welcome home function urged expansion of professorial chairs and American graduate study models to raise Australian scholarship standards. He criticized a general means test and warned of bureaucratic limits harming student access. Burton noted American universities emphasize departments and multiple chairs per field, contrasting with Australia. He cited incentives from US system to attract students and stressed global competition, while acknowledging some high status institutions vary. He also referenced a Chicago revival briefly affecting student routines. Prices for carpets were fixed by the Prices Branch, ranging from £25 to £52.
