College history brought to book
12:03pm Friday 4th July 2008
THE history of York College is at the heart of a new book.
Historian Marjorie Harrison, got together with three colleagues, including former principal, Mike Galloway, to help put a book together to catalogue and celebrate the college’s rich history.
Marjorie, who used to work at the college as a learning resources assistant before she retired, said the project has been a real joy to research.
The book, which is called Angles Of The Learning Curve, starts with the opening of the Mechanics Institute, originally in Bedern, in 1827, and the founding of the School Of Art And Design, in Little Blake Street in 1842, and works all the way through to the present day and the opening of the college’s new £60 million site last September.
The other authors who put the book together with Marjorie are Avril Cheetham and Kay Green.
