Letter
Ida Carroll
Royal Northern College Of Music (RNCM), Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1973

A strong letter from Ida Carroll (1905-1995, student, secretary and then principal of the Northern School of Music) regarding the misleading reports that the Royal Northern College of Music inherited its title from the Royal Manchester College of Music.

Indicative of the worries that she had regarding the legacy and input of the Northern School of Music (which merged with the RMCM to form the RNCM), she wishes continually for the contributions of the NSM to be recognised in their own right as part of the new school. This was a theme for almost 20 years and corner she continued to fight.
