Minutes of the Sub- Committee for the Management of the Manchester Municipal School/College of Technology

Scope and Content

Minutes of the Sub-committee for the Management the School/College, established in 1903, which was the senior governing body of the College until 1956 and which reported to the Manchester Education Committee (it was sometimes referred to within MEC as "Sub-Committee A"). The minutes are not signed, and the official minutes of the Committee should be considered to be those held as part of the records of Manchester Education Committee. The chair of the Manchester Education Committee was by default the chair of the Sub-Committee, and the majority of members were city councillors or aldermen. Until around 1910 the Sub-Committee also had responsibility for Manchester Municipal School of Art. The minute books include minutes of certain sub-committees and the sectional committees, which were not filed separately (see TGB/1/4 for those which were). The sub-committee was dissolved on 1 August 1956, when Manchester Council relinquished control of the College. A new system of government was introduced for the Manchester College of Science and Technology.
