The Faculties - Overseas Faculties
From the College's earliest days, the Steering Committee had
planned to encourage the development of overseas regional
faculties, (many of these later became Colleges in their own
right.). Ten members were needed to form an overseas faculty, by
the time the College was a year old, two overseas faculties were in
being. by the end of the fifth year their were ten. The remarkable
early achievements of these overseas faculties are well described
in a report published at the end of each Annual Report of the
College.
