Abstract It was a textile industrialist's bequest that helped establish the Department of Chemical Technology at Bombay University in 1934, and there has been sustained and systematic use of the department's resources by industry ever since. Among other noteworthy features, the report of the university's academic council recommending the establishment of the department made a categorical distinction between technical education, designed to create skilled foremen, and technological education, oriented towards establishing a mode of thinking amongst future technologists. The paper's principal thesis is that the presence of the textile industry in Bombay allowed the funds for the establishment of the department to be made available. It also ensured a concentration of the curriculum and syllabus, in what was conceived to be an institution of technology in general, on the area of enquiry most relevant to the textile industry, textile chemistry. This effectively converted the department into an institution specialising in textile chemistry, later broadened into chemical technology.

学术界—产业交流范例：孟买大学化学技术系

摘要 1934年孟买大学化学技术系是一位纺织工业家的遗赠，自此，该系的资源一直被工业持续系统地利用。在其他值得注意的特点中，该大学学术委员会建议设立该部门的报告对旨在培养熟练工头的技术教育和旨在在未来技术人员中建立思维模式的技术教育进行了明确区分。这篇论文的主要论点是，孟买纺织业的存在使得该部门的建立资金可以使用。它还确保了课程和教学大纲的集中，在被认为是一般技术机构的地方，在与纺织工业最相关的研究领域，纺织化学。这有效地将该系转变为专门研究纺织化学的机构，后来扩展到化学技术领域。
