The History of Chelsea College of Physical Education with special reference to curriculum development, 1898-1973

The detailed study of the History of Chelsea College of Physical Education, through research and dialogue, has provided not only a fascinating journey into the past but also a stimulating experience. Current curriculum development techniques concentrate on the ongoing process and have been adapted for the purposes of historical analysis. Originally, 75 years seemed to be a suitable span of time to appraise the foundation and development of the College. With the re-organisation of higher education in East Sussex since 1973 it has also become essential to make reference to the latest institutional changes and the proposals for the future.
