Excerpt
Preface: The Report which follows contains some of the general impressions which I gained after travelling for about nine months in Canada and the United States of America. Most of my time was spent in the large cities of the East, where I came in touch with various members of the business community, and had frequent opportunities of appreciating how close is the relationship between university and commercial life. I made no attempt to investigate the conditions of any particular industry, but devoted my attention to such points as seemed to lend themselves for inquiry. This course was probably the most interesting and instructive at the time, but it has rendered the writing of a report very difficult, as it has not been possible to make many definite statements, or to enter into much detail.
