Extract from the 1919 Minutes of Conference

Special Resolutions (page 84)

​

College at Cambridge.

The Conference is informed that a sufficient sum is guaranteed for the erection and part endowment of a Post-Graduate College at Cambridge.

It therefore proposes in accordance with its decision of I9I3 (Minutes, p.573), that:

(I) There shall be established at Cambridge a Post-Graduate College for twenty or thirty Students.

These shall be Graduates of a University, but a limited number of Non-Graduate Students may be admitted on the nomination of the Theological Institution Committee, provided that the numbers so admitted be not such as to alter the character of a College intended mainly for Post-Graduate Students.

(2) The College shall have accommodation for a Principal and at least one other tutor. One of these should be Professor of Dogmatic Theology, the other of Pastoral Theology, and some other subject,

Arrangements for Lectures in other subjects can probably be made with the staff of the Westminster College of the English Presbyterian Church and of Cheshunt College, and advantage may be taken of facilities granted by the courtesy of University professors.

(3) The duration of a student's course shall be determined in each case by the Conference, on the advice of the Theological Institution Committee.

The Conference resolves that Headingley shall be College A, but as it is not yet ready, Didsbury shall be College A for the present year.
