School History & Details

With a lengthy and intriguing history, St Mark's College is the oldest residential institution in Adelaide. A public assembly in Adelaide Town Hall on May 29, 1922, resulted in the formation of an Executive Committee and a sizable General Committee for the purpose of founding the College. The new college was named "St Mark's" in remembrance of the saint who was present on the day of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli. Its first Master was named as Archibald Grenfell Price. The University Council formally merged St. Mark's College with the University of Adelaide in October. The first St. Mark's College Council was chosen in 1925. On March 11, a Wednesday, the Common Room had its inaugural general meeting.
