Content description

Masters are closely involved in the running of the school through committees. The main ones were the School Fund, which looked at school finances and therefore had to consider such matters as numbers of teaching staff, the House Fund Committee, which after 1945 was set up to supervise the finances of the boarding houses, and the Amalgamated Games Fund, which looked at the sports accounts. These committees reported to the School Finance Committee which in turn reported to the Provost and Fellows. However, there were many other committees, either ad hoc to deal with a particular issue or longer running, such as the Domestic Committee, which was subordinate to the House Fund Committee. For many of these the papers are very scanty and for ad hoc committees in particular the report, often to be found in the papers of the supervising committee or even the P&F, may be the only trace of its existence.
