CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
On its transfer to University of London in 1932, the Institute of Education was removed from London County Council (LCC) control. It became a central activity rather than a School of the University and its management was placed in the hands of a Delagacy appointed by the University Senate. This was composed of the Vice Chancellor, the Chairman of Convocation, and Principal of the University, the Director of the Institute, the Head of the Training Department at King's College, two members nominated by the LCC, two members of the Institute Academic Board, five representatives of the University Senate and five other co-opted members. In 1935 representation of the Institute's Academic Board was increased to four members. In March 1949 a new administrative structure was established to take the place of the Institute of Education Delegacy and the Training Colleges Delegacy. The first Chairman of the Delegacy was Lord Eustace Percy. He was succeeded in 1937 by W.R. Halliday, Principal of King's College London.

ACCESS AND USE
Language/scripts of material: English
System of arrangement:
The series is composed of two overlapping sequences. The files in A/1, A/2 and A/4 form a single sequence which, at a much later date, was chronologically divided into files, paginated and indexed, perhaps with a view to the production of a series of bound volumes. The pagination is not always consistent or accurate, but the indexes have been retained and an indication of the page numbers to which these refer is given in each file description. For the years 1944-1948 (A/4/4-5) the index is included in the file. The pagination in not always accurate, but the indexes have been retained and an indication of the page numbers to which these refer is given in each file description. The papers in section A/3 form a second sequence consisting of two volumes with indexes which are probably contemporary.
