Scope and content
An exercise book, 1930-1955, in the hand of the Rev. W. P. Jones, Principal of Trevecca College, Talgarth, containing an annual record of students admitted to the College for the years 1930-31 to 1954-55 (ff. 2-51 verso). Entries include the names of students and typically list their home and college addresses and, less frequently, ages and subjects studied.
The volume also includes various memoranda, notes, accounts and lists (ff. 1 recto-verso, 60, 70-82 verso and inside the covers), including petty cash and other accounts, 1932-1941 (ff. 60, 73 recto-verso, 75, 76-80 verso, 82), details of scholarship exams and awards, 1936-1940 (f. 72 verso, 74 verso, 75 verso-76), lists of new students, 1949-1952 (ff. 70 verso-71) and a list of landladies at Talgarth (f. 74). Items found loose in the volume (now in an archival envelope) comprise a letter, 14 January 1955, to W. P. Jones from Ieuan Ll. Jenkins, Dowlais (f. 83), and eleven printed copies of the Trevecca College Regulations, each signed by students of the 1954-55 intake (ff. 84-94). From 1906 to 1964 Trevecca was run by the Calvinistic Methodist Church as a preparatory college.
