In English universities there has been a growing awareness during the last dozen years or so of the need to integrate science with other sources of knowledge, even with religious knowledge: this independently of any specific Catholic investiga tion. Faculties of the history and philosophy of science have been started, in which undergraduates reading science can spend a year either before or after taking their degree. It is important for schools to be aware of this, not only because they will be sending pupils on to the university, but because young science teachers will increasingly have their eyes turned towards the implication of their subject beyond the narrow limits of an examination syllabus, and in Catholic schools in particular towards religious instruction. In this moreover they will have greater help from books than has been available in the past.
