- Title
Quid pro quo.
- Abstract
Presents a letter to the editor on the Dearing proposals on education in the United Kingdom, which, although not unreasonable in themselves, carry a serious threat to the recruitment of able postgraduate students working for higher degrees. Suggestion that, not only do such students represent the next generation of research workers but their work contributes very significantly to research in progress; How their career prospects are not such as to put them in a position to repay the debt they will have accumulated to cover the cost of their undergraduate education--postgraduate education involves a further period of relative penury with no guaranteed prospects of a tenured appointment when completed.
