The establishment of the College faced objections, primarily from the Royal College of Surgeons and the Royal College of Physicians, who were concerned over the power that this new college would have and if it would conflict with the authority of the other Royal Colleges, particularly in relation to hosting their own exams and providing their own diplomas and certificates of proficiency in obstetrics and gynaecology. Reports particularly focus on the precise wording of the relevant clauses in the publications of ‘Memorandum and Articles of Association of the British College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ and the implications of this for how far the authority of the British College extends. Correspondence also discusses the question of licensing with the Board of Trade. The formation of the College involved correspondence between Francis Champneys, John Rose Bradford, Robert Hutchison, Raymond Crawfurd, William Blair-Bell, William Fletcher Shaw, Sibert Forrest Cowell, Ambrose Thomas Stanton, John Sheilds Fairbairn, Thomas Watts Eden, John Fawcett, Dawson of Penn, George Harold Arthur Comyns Berkeley, Herbert Sidney Forsdike, Moynihan of Leeds, and Charles Douglas Medley.
