Low in 1894 to provide what was little more than seoDncary educatiDn allied with some practical skills, at a time when nD other state-run teacher-training institutiDn existed in South Africa, it was to bDcome a fUlly-fledged terti2ry establishment by 1929. It then offered a well-balanced programme of academic, professional and practical training as well as opportunities for specialization. Tha College continued to play a significant role in the provision of teachers for Cape Town and its environs at the time of retirement of its second Principal, W.R. Campbell, in 1937. As an organizing principle a thematic approach has been followed in the treatment of tha topic. This means that it is nDt possible to follcw the chrDnDIDgical sequence Df the College's histDry chepter by chapter. To give SDme sense of this, however, a time chart has been included Dn pp.13-l5; this also allDws events occurring at the same time in different spheres of CDllege life to be noted. 1983-01-01T00:00:00Z
