By Robert Mark Wenley

Book Overview

The University Extension Movement in Scotland, written by Robert Mark Wenley in 1895, is a historical account of the efforts made to extend university education to the working-class population of Scotland. The book explores the origins of the movement, which began in the mid-19th century, and its growth and development over time. Wenley provides a detailed analysis of the key figures involved in the movement, including the university professors who led the way, and the various organizations that were established to support it. He also examines the impact of the movement on Scottish society, including its effects on the economy, politics, and culture of the country. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education in Scotland, as well as those interested in the broader social and political context of the time.
