The Early Years (1897 - 1923)

From 1897 until 1923, the State Department of Agriculture (renamed the Department of Agriculture and Stock in 1905) administered QAC with the aid of a succession of six principals (including two "acting").

Growth was slow due to events such as World War I and in 1921 closure was being considered. Instead, the Government transferred control to the Department of Public Instruction (now the Department of Education) in 1923 and the institution was reborn as Queensland Agricultural High School and College.
