Ida Carroll
Royal Northern College Of Music (RNCM), Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1961

Ida Gertrude Carroll (1905-1995, student, secretary and then principal of the Northern School of Music) here taking any and all newspapers to task on the subject of correct reporting of the future RNCM. How the new college was described in the public eye was vital to ensuring that the Northern School of Music's contributions weren't dismissed under the weightier title of the Royal Manchester College of Music, its merger partner.

I really do admire her tenacity and leadership.
