| Description | This section consists of a full set of Mason College calendars from 1880 which incorporate syllabus and examination papers as well as general information about the college and copies of the institution's annual reports; a separate set of annual reports from 1882 which include annual accounts; a set of Mason College Faculty of Medicine syllabuses from 1892-1900, and incomplete sets of other publications including prospectuses and printed reports including proceedings of the college annual dinner.
It is not clear whether separate syllabuses and examination papers were also printed and published for distribution, as is the case for official publications of the University of Birmingham. Certainly, the only surviving source for course content and examination methods is the Calendars. Similarly, the annual reports are the only source to include annual accounts of the college for the period between 1882 and 1894. Printed audited accounts from 1894 to 1900 are described with the other financial records of the institution at UB/MC/F/1 |
