On October 27, 1972, a discussion on Education in Forensic Science took place at the Police College, Bramshill. Dr. Saunders, President of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and Chairman of the Forensic Science Sub-Committee of the Home Office Scientific Advisory Committee, was in the Chair. There was no general agreement — indeed hardly any proposition went unchallenged — and the Chairman undoubtedly judged the sense of the meeting when he decided not to take a vote on anything. This is an attempt to set down (without attribution) some of the points that were made.
