New England University College
New England University College began in 1938 at the request of a committee representing citizens from Northern N.S.W. The institution was established as an outpost of the University of Sydney in Booloominbah which had been donated by Thomas Richmond Forster in 1937.
Edgar Booth was appointed as Warden of N.E.U.C. on 1 Jan 1938 and had the assistance of an Advisory Council. Initial faculties consisted of (1) Arts and Economics and (2) Science with the availability of Veterinary Science and Agriculture covered in first year science, but students having to complete those courses at the University of Sydney.
N.E.U.C. prospered despite the war years being the early years in which it had to prove a viability. The experiment to manage tertiary education outside of Sydney proved so successful that N.E.U.C. gained autonomy in 1954.
