Colleges and schools will be able to hire the films of the university, and autocinemas will travel through the length and breadth of the country to project films dealing with agriculture, livestock, and so on. The university will also include an ordinary cinema, in which foreign films will be shown in their original versions. Sir James Marchant, the propounder of the idea of this Institute, is one of the foremost figures in the world of educational cinematography in England. According to his figures, during last year cultural films to the number of 86 were shown in colleges and schools to 14,650 students.
