• Administrative / Biographical History

  The Board of Studies appears to have originated as a small committee established by the Staff Council in May 1925 for the direction of studies to work with the director and to meet the Governors if necessary. It comprised the Director, Heads of Departments and the Women's Warden and Supervisor of the Evening School. It met once a month and advised the director on the discharge of duties relating to academic development, standards and course content. Each department held staff meetings at regular intervals under the chairmanship of the Head of that department. Decisions made at these meetings were reported to the Board of Studies and if supported by the Board then reported to the Board of Governors. The Board of Studies was replaced in 1973 by the Academic Council.
