It was originally commissioned as the first half of a history of the four constituent colleges of the then Roehampton Institute of Higher Education (now Roehampton University). Dr Keith Burgess was to take the story from 1914 to the present. Our aim was to produce a history which was thorough in its research and set the histories of the colleges within the wider social and cultural history of the period. We also wanted to produce a history which would be readable by a non-specialist audience. Professional historians are too often condemned to write for a narrow and specialist academic public. We were keen to seize this opportunity to reach out to a wider readership. For various reasons, some of them obscure, publication of the projected volume was shelved. So this draft was left to gather dust. Until my friend Bill Griffiths recently suggested that it could be put on-line and at least find some interested readers. I am grateful to him for his work in generating this online version. I have cut the few sections on Froebel College from chapter three. This has been done much better in several publications by the former Principal of Froebel, Dr Peter Weston: see in particular The Froebel Educational Institute: the Origins and History of the College (Roehampton 2002). I would like to thank Peter Weston for helpful comments on an earlier draft of this history. Otherwise, I have not rewritten my original draft nor registered more recent research. I had always intended to rework this material into publishable form, when other commitments permitted. And who knows, I may still do so one day Sat, 01 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10142/47336 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10142/40916 Title: From Roehampton Great House to Grove House to Froebel College: an illustrated history Authors: Weston, Peter Thu, 01 Jan 1998 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10142/40916 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10142/40915 Title: The Froebel Educational Institute: the Origins and History of the College Authors: Weston, Peter Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:16:29 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10142/40915 2008-11-14T14:16:29Z http://hdl.handle.net/10142/40937 Title: Friedrich Froebel: his life, times and significance Authors: Weston, Peter Thu, 01 Jan 1998 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10142/40937 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z
