The majority of this material dates from around 1916 and records the resignation of Vice-Principal Winifred Mercier, the 'talk' to residential staff given by James Graham, Secretary for Education at Leeds, and the resulting resignation of nine women tutors from the College. It includes copies of letters among the key players in the so called 'scandal' news paper clippings relating to the events and reports from the Board of Education.

On at least two occasions a Committee was set up to organise testimonials of retiring or leaving staff of the City of Leeds Training College. That of Dr Airey in 1933 included the commissioning of a portrait. Miss Simpson began at the College in that year and moved on to another post in 1945. The Committee was made up of Tutors and Students. This testimonial material appears to have originally been kept with City of Leeds Training College Old Students Association papers at BPL/OLD, however at some point they were separated.
