PART I
CONSTITUTION OF TRAINING AUTHORITIES
Incorporation of training authorities
1.—(1) With the general object of ensuring that teachers are adequately prepared for service in the educational establishments of Scotland, and for the particular purpose of carrying these Regulations and any other regulations relating to the training of teachers in Scotland into effect, governing bodies shall be and are hereby constituted under the following names, that is to say

"The Governors of Moray House College of Education",
"The Governors of Jordanhill College of Education.",
"The Governors of Craiglockhart College of Education",
"The Governors of Notre Dame College of Education" and
"The Governors of Dunfermline College of Physical Education, Aberdeen";
and a Council shall be and is hereby constituted under the name of "The Scottish Council for the Training of Teachers".
(2) Each of the said governing bodies and the Scottish Council shall be a body corporate having a perpetual succession and a common seal, with full power by and in such name—
(a) to sue and be sued;

(d) to accept any endowments, whether subject to special conditions or not, for the furtherance of the said purposes; and
(e) to invest any moneys and funds held by them which are not immediately required to be expended for the said purposes on or upon any investments for the time being authorised by law for the investment of trust funds, and to vary or transpose any investments held or made by them into investments of a nature so authorised;
and, subject to the provisions of these Regulations, with all other rights, powers and privileges of a body corporate.
(a) 9 & 10 Geo. 6. c. 72.
