The College provided general and vocational
education for youths of sixteen to eighteen nominated by EIC Directors to
writerships in the EIC overseas civil service. Attendance was generally for
four 6-month terms. It first opened in Hertford Castle, then moved in 1809 to
a purpose-built site at Hertford Heath, near Hertford, now used by Haileybury
College. Its architect, William Wilkins, later went on to design the National
Gallery in London. In 1856 an open competitive examination replaced the
system of appointment by patronage. In the wake of the Indian Mutiny, in
January 1858, the British government took over the administration of India,
and the college closed. |
