By general university extension is meant extension activities of universities and colleges in the fields not covered by agricultural and home economics extension under the Federal subsidy acts through the Federal land-grant colleges. The report makes no pretense at thoroughness. The limitations of time and resources for securing data render such an ambition impossible. The information upon which the report is based has come largely from universities and colleges holding membership in the National University Extension Association, of which there are 41 at present. The reason for this limitation is the fact that in these institutions the work has been sufficiently standardized to enable some degree of comparison, and to arrive at some evaluation of the results in general terms. There is a further limitation to the report in the fact that data were not available from all the member institutions, though a request for such data was sent to every institution on the list, together with questionnaires concerning matters of special interest and importance. It is believed that the data and conclusions here reported are indicative of the progress and development in this field of service. Probably in no other field of university work has progress been more notable or more significant. This bulletin contains: (1) Significance of university extension service; (2) Extension activities; (3) Statistical study; (4) New lines of service, or lines having unusual development during the biennium; and (5) Extension practices and efforts at standardization. (Contains 4 tables and 1 footnote.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
