Administrative HistoryAnnual visitations by the College Rector and his four assessors were detailed in Bishop Elphinstone's Foundation Charters. The Rector and his assessors were required to create a report and present it to the Chancellor, unfortunately none have survived. The findings of the first visitation were less than favourable with staff and students conduct being called into question. The result of the first visitation was over fifty orders to counteract the issues found.
DescriptionThis series contains memorials, memorandum, reports and papers relating to the visitations from both the College staff and the visitation commissioners. Reports of the early visitations have not survived and the comprehensiveness of the material for each visit varies significantly.
