Summary

The First War concluded the RCM’s Victorian and Edwardian history. As Chapter 6 recounts, when the College began to function again under Hugh Allen’s leadership, it would be adapting itself to a very different cultural and social age. It would also be in mourning, for Parry himself, and also for its students who had been killed and maimed, physically and mentally, by their experiences. We have a good sense of what Parry felt by the Director’s address he gave in September 1914. His first concern was for RCM students exposed to danger. As he expressed it: ‘[they] are gifted in a rare and special way. Some of them are so gifted that their loss could hardly be made good.
