Barlow was strongly opposed to 'party', and considered that the needs of a bush diocese required a broad theological training.
Those seven were in a rented house, but Barlow's intention was to erect a permanent building next to St Saviour's Cathedral.
[7] Wentworth-Sheilds (later the Bishop of Armidale from 1916 to 1929) became Rector of St James' Church, Sydney in 1910, and there is no indication of a successor having been appointed as warden.
[8] Barlow died in 1915, shortly after retiring as Bishop, and left £1,000 to the diocese for clergy training, but not, specifically, to the college.
[11] It must have closed by 1918, as in that year Barlow's successor Lewis Radford offered Bishopthorpe to the founders of the Community of the Ascension, with one of the aims being to establish a theological college along the lines of Mirfield or Kelham, although, in fact, nothing came of this particular proposal.
