History &
Chronology
College Officers - Presidents &
Chairmen
After the
fledgling College was announced
on 20 December 1952 a Foundation Council was formed under the
Chairmanship of George Aberc
rombie, meeting for the first time 18 February
1953. The Foundation Council retired at the first
general meeting of 14 November 1953. The College year
traditionally starts in November after the AGM. The
Foundation Council decided that the executive director of the
College should be the Chairman of Council, with the President to
represent the College at the many social and other functions. At
the first AGM of the fully formed College on 14 November
1954 William Pickles was installed as the first President of the
College. Both President and Chairman normally hold office for three
years.
