This scheme, now in its third year of operation, is designed to bring to Great Britain every year thirty-eight Canadian graduates in engineering for post-graduate studies. The Fellowships have a duration of two years and are tenable in industry, in universities, or partly in each of these. The author has been connected with the scheme from its inception; he assists in the selection of the graduates in Canada and arranges for their location and training in the United Kingdom. The paper describes in some detail the origin, purpose, and operation of the scheme and raises many issues of interest and importance. The author also gives summaries of the reactions of Athlone Fellows who are now receiving postgraduate training in Great Britain. The purpose of the paper is twofold: to give information concerning a new and important system of Fellowships, and to evoke constructive criticism from professional engineers of its objects and operation.

The article explores how clothing exposes – and troubles – the ambiguous location of care homes on the boundaries of public/private, home/institutional space. It deploys a material analysis of the symbolic uses and meanings of dress, extending the remit of the new cultural gerontology to encompass the “fourth age,” and the lives of older people with dementia. The article draws on an ESRC-funded study “Dementia and Dress,” conducted in the United Kingdom (UK), which explored everyday experiences of clothing for people with dementia, carers and careworkers, using ethnographic and qualitative methods. Careworkers and managers were keen to emphasise the “homely” nature of care homes, yet this was sometimes at odds with the desire to maintain presentable and orderly bodies, and with institutional routines of bodywork. Residents’ use of clothing could disrupt boundaries of public/private space, materialising a sense of not being “at home,” and a desire to return there.
