The President reviews his career in industry and higher education, and he refers briefly to his research interests in high-pressure engineering and explosive welding. He states his belief in the indivisibility of education and training and outlines the desirable objectives of education and training, which he considers should be directed at ‘design for profitable manufacture’. Finally, he notes the continuing importance of developing ever closer co-operation between industry and higher education.
