One hundred and fifty years on from its foundation in 1854, it is the oldest adult educational institute in the country. Self-governing and self-financing, it is a rich part of London’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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working Men's College, 1854 1904: Records of Its History and Its Work for Fifty Years, by Members of the College IN accordance with a general desire that the Jubilee of the Working Men's College should be marked by the publication of a volume illustrating its history, this book has been prepared by a number of representative con tributors. The five still living of those who may be reckoned as founders, three of whom, Messrs. Ludlow, Dickinson, and Furnivall, are octogenarians; principals and vice-principals; teachers and students - have combined to supply memories and descriptions which will be of special interest to those who already belong to the College, but which, we hope, will also be attractive to others who may assist in building up its future.

Book excerpt: The Working Men’s College (WMC) is the UK’s oldest continuously running adult education institution, and a very distinctive example of the British adult education tradition. This volume brings the history of the WMC up to date, following the 1954 centenary history by JFC Harrison. Contributions from a range of professional educators explore topics such as the philosophy of the College, the issue of women’s entry, college governance and the notion of community as it applies to changes in the composition of the student body. Additional features include a chapter on the architectural history of the College; an interview with Satnam Gill as the key figure who drove through crucial change at a time when the College might have died; a chapter from the latest member of a family which has been closely involved with the College over four generations; and a range of personal contributions from tutors and students from the past six decades. This book will be of interest to historians of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, all those in UK adult education, along with local Camden/London community and political groups and the WMC’s extensive family of former students and tutors.
