My Bedford College

In l965, after my disastrous experience with Harry Genis and the Northern Trailer Company, once again my secretarial skills were sufficient to ensure that I enjoyed immediate employment.  In fact I really landed on my feet with a temporary - summer vacation - post at Bedford College, in Regents Park.  This was a branch of London University devoted to Sociology.  The college secretary was seeking a shorthand-typist to aid Professor O.R. McGregor with the production of a Government report on the Attachment of Earnings in respect of Unmarried Mothers.  When he learned that my supplementary subject for my BSc degree was sociology, I was set for the entire Summer.  In fact, when he had completed the report, I was asked if I would now give Professor Ilersic in the Statistics Department a helping hand with his new book.  This too I did, and I still have, on my bookshelves, a copy of the book with a little note of appreciation from Ilersic inside.

The college merged with the Royal Holloway College in 1984 - another branch of London University - and its name changed to Regents College.

In 2012 it became a private university under the name of Regents University London and is a member of the Independent Universities Group.
