The early history of Te Aute College, 1854-1912 : together with a sketch, 1912-1949

The History of Te Aute College appears to be an unexplored, great, wide field, for developments in this, college effected the whole Maori race. Hence it was with trepidation that this piece of research was started. Material was not scarce, so that to write a history which might not be too sketchy, could be done, but not within a hundred pages. So then the decision was made to write the "Early History of Te Aute College", adding an outline sketch of developments and policies leading up to the present day.
