DescriptionLetters and related documents regarding the Queen's University, especially relating to attempts to reform its structure. Corrigan was a senator of the University throughout its existence and in 1871 he was appointed vice chancellor. He was an active proponent of reforms which would make the university more like the University of London (see DC/4/5/2), an examinations body that would examine anyone no matter where they studied, rather than only those who has attended the Queen's Colleges, Corrigan believed this would also make the university more open to catholic students.
