Volume XIII of History of Universities contains the customary mix of learned articles, book reviews, conference reports, and bibliographical information, which makes this annual publication such an indispensable book for the historian of higher education. Its contributions range widely geographically, chronologically, and in subject matter. Volume XIII includes articles on town and gown relations in Dublin, nineteenth-century engineering students at
Brunswick, and Cape Towners views on their university, and is, as always, a lively combination of original research and invaluable reference material.
