Ida Carroll
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1967

More notes on another unhappy meeting. This time in 1967 and regarding the dismissal of the Northern School of Music's problems with the proposed merger. A neutral principal must be found for the new college so that both the NSM and the Royal Manchester College of Music are on equal footing, the Speech and Drama Department should not be passed off to a school outside of Manchester and provision for part time and junior students should be made to carry on the Northern School of Music's operations in that field.
Ida Carroll (1905-1995, student, secretary and then principal of the Northern School of Music) pulls no punches in expressing how "deplorable" she feels this is.
