(Each 'fifth', an undefinable quantity supposedly representing one-fifth of a full-time teaching load, covers an amount of work extending from one section or tutorial group to several, depending on the department.) There was, in fact, according to Dunlop's figures, an increased in the number of fifths throughout the sixties, but a docline in number in the last two years.
