George Richard Woolway ARCA

Institutional and Business Connections

Principal of St Martin's School of Art
1 January 1928 - 1943 (Probable)
Appointed Principal in 1938 with five votes to two (the other candidate was William Palmer Robins): see 'Minutes of Proceedings', 14 October, 1927. Woolway is still listed as Principal in 1939-1940, however, there are no avaliable prospectuses dating from 1941 to 1944. Woolway is not listed as Principal in 1945. It is recorded in the minutes of a meeting of the 'Advisory Sub-Committee', held on the 28 October, 1943, that the current Principal (who is not named in the minutes) would retire at the end of the current term. It is, therefore, probable that Woolway held the position of Principal until 1943.
