The Au stral ian [ou rnal of Education VOLUME 1 NUMBER 3 NOVEMBER 1957 UNIVERSITY SELECTION: ITS THEORY, HISTORY, AND PSYCHOLOGY C. SANDERS Selection and Student Wastage Since the war there has been increasing criticism about the extent of student wastage through failure and other causes in our Australian universities.' In recent years the same problem has often been discussed in the United Kingdom.s Lately it has been associated with the need to increase the output of scientists, engineers and technologists to meet a changing society. In their submission to the Murray Committee on Australian Universities, * the Australian Vice-Chancellors stated: "There is no doubt that Australia is not producing enough graduates with traditional skills and there is an even more alarming shortage of graduates trained in newer aspects of our technological civilisation. "3 In Australia, as in other British communities, the university serves a double purpose. It is the major repository, and centre of evaluation and transmission in the interests of scholarship, of the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of the ages, as well as an institution dedicated to the extension of the bounds of knowledge. I ts second function is to prepare students for the older learned professions
