Working Men's College, Camden, London

‘Tagore’s “Sacrifice” was performed by the Working Men’s College, Crowndale Road, on Saturday. In a play that lacks impressiveness and at times becomes tedious, there were some clever and promising performances. M. L. Holland showed both grasp and ability in his portrayal as the priest, and Marjorie Smith gave a dignified and restrained impersonation as the Queen. The piece was well mounted’. The Stage, 2 December 1937. [Working Men’s College (WMC), the oldest surviving adult education institute in Europe, was founded in 1854 and was associated with the Cooperative Movement and the Christian Socialists, stemming, from the same tradition that led later to the Worker’s Educational Association. The Working Women’s College, founded 10 years later in 1864, finally merged with WMC in 1967. Early supporters of both have included F D Maurice, John Stuart Mill, Tom Hughes, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Ruskin, Ford Maddox Brown, Walter de la Mare and Octavia Hill. Originally based in Red Lion Street, we have been in this listed building [44 Crowndale Road] in Camden Town since 1905’ (https://www.schoolandcollegelistings.com/GB/London/332375156807946/Working-Mens-College-Students).]
