Community of the Resurrection and the Grahamstown Training College

In 1894 the Sisters of the Community of the Resurrection founded the Grahamstown Training College, an institution which played a valuable part in the development of education in southern Africa, so much so that it was considered a "national loss" when it was forced to close down in 1974.
