A History Of The Working Men'S College

Originally published in 1954, this is the first full-length account of the history of the Working Mene(tm)s College in St.Pancras, London. One hundred and fifty years on from its foundation in 1854, it is the oldest adult educational institute in the country. Self-governingand self-financing, it is a rich part of Londone(tm)s social history. The college stands out as a distinctive monument of the voluntary social service founded by the Victorians, unchanged in all its essentials yet adapting itself to the demands of each generation of students and finding voluntary and unpaid teachers to continue its tradition.
