: * THE SWING TO ARTS
Some thoughts on the role of the new universities by DONALD DAVIEProfessor of Literature, University of Essex
Professor Davie suggests that the swing from science which has been increasingly noted in sixth forms is less alarming than It might at tirst appear. He argues that the English as a race may have a unique talent as custodians of the past. and that it would be no ignoble pursuit for our universities to aim at preparing young people to exploit this talent as writers and historians, both here and abroad.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
