Informative and entertaining - The Story of Three Colleges is an historical account of the institutions which have stood on the site now occupied by Charles Sturt University (Mitchell College of Advanced Education at the time of publication).
It covers a period starting before the site was ever considered for educational purposes and tells of its use as a government reserve, a racecourse and an army ordnance depot, as well as the times when it was occupied by the Agricultural Experiment Farm, Bathurst Teachers’ College and Mitchell College of Advanced Education.
This books brings to life many of the events, controversies and personalities which helped to shape the Mitchell College. It describes major events such as the debate surrounding the decision to locate a College of Advanced Education in Bathurst. Human interest is found in the form of anecdotes drawn from the day-to-day lives of staff and students and from the personal experiences of Theo Barker himself.
The Story of Three Colleges will be of special interest to staff, students and others who have been involved with any of the colleges, and will be an important addition to the collection of those interested in the history of the Bathurst region.
