- Overview
The Church Missionary Society established the Church Mission College in 1900 as an outgrowth of Edwardes High School, which had been founded in 1855 by the society as the first institution of western-style schooling in the northwest frontier region of what was India at the time. For many years the college was the only institution of higher education in the northwest frontier. Sir Herbert Edwardes was a British colonial administrator and commander whose name the college later adopted. The first major college building, now known as the Old Hall, was built in 1910 in a Mogul style that was replicated in a number of the college’s later buildings. Edwardes was visited three times by the founder of the nation, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, by Mahatma Gandhi, and more recently by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. In its early years Edwardes awarded degrees through the University of Punjab, and since 1952 its degrees have been awarded through the University of Peshawar. [1]
