Committee for Promoting Technical Education 1871-1877

Trustees 1877-1896

In 1871 a committee for promoting technical education was organised in Glasgow. This committee was responsible for establishing the constitution and founding in 1877 of the Glasgow Technical College (Weaving Branch). Responsibility for the whole direction and management of the college including any changes in the constitution was vested in the trustees. In 1896 the trustees registered the college as a limited liability company under the name Incorporated Weaving, Dyeing and Printing College. The trustees were henceforth known as governors. In 1908, after several years of negotiation, the governors agreed to the merger of the college with the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College.
