ACFHE stands for 80 years service to education

Abstract

When Sir William Mather becomes President of the Association of Colleges for Further and Higher Education in February, he will be assuming an office which was first occupied by his grandfather, The Right Honourable Sir William Mather PC, in 1895. Continuity—of which this is anexample—amongst people, policies and philosophies has strongly characterised the 80‐year history of the Association. R. L. Roberts, father of the present Honorary Treasurer, Brian Roberts, also served the Association for many years as Honorary Treasurer. He was in addition Chairman of the Council in 1930 and 1950, as was Brian in 1964. In the last thirty years the Association has had only three Honorary Secretaries—J. C. Jones, Eric Richardson, and myself—all three of whom, by rare coincidence, were present at the 1974 summer conference in Bournemouth.
