JFC Harrison was a major historian of adult education. Among his many works is the definitive account A History of the Working Men’s College, 1854-1954. When I retired from being chair of the WMC Corporation, I was presented with a copy, which I cherish. The college still flourishes in Camden, north London, the longest continually running adult education institution in Europe, and we are looking to commission a further history of its more recent past, which would complement Harrison’s meticulous and scholarly work.
