-
A Royal Commission was appointed in 1934 to inquire into the constitution and government of Durham University as a means of resolving the difficulties which had, over a period of years, disrupted the unity of the university.
An earlier independent inquiry was conducted by Sir Amherst Selby-Bigge, K.C.B., and which, by its failure to achieve its purpose of unification, resulted in a Royal Commission.
