Teaching was aligned with occupational outcomes, research was directed to practical results. Campuses grew and universities became more entrepreneurial. Students had to juggle their study requirements with paid work, and were required to pay back part of the cost of their degrees. The federal government directed this transformation through the creation of a Unified National System. How did this happen? What were the gains and the losses? \u003ci\u003eNo End of a Lesson\u003c\/i\u003e explores this radical reconstruction and assesses its consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStuart Macintyre\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of the University of Melbourne and has written extensively on Australia's political and social history, as well as its intellectual traditions.
