I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the reasoning behind the proposal to merge many colleges?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 1907, the newly established Board of Education found that greater capacity for higher technical education was needed and a proposal to merge the City and Guilds College, the Royal School of Mines and the Royal College of Science was approved and passed, creating The Imperial College of Science and Technology as a constituent college of the University of London.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
