        History

        The Council was the principal governing body of King's College London between its foundation in 1829 and the reorganisation of King's that took place with the King's College London (Transfer) Act of 1908. This both incorporated King's into the University of London (thereafter redesignated as University of London, King's College), and legally separated the Theological Faculty, which retained subscription to the 39 Articles for academic staff and continued to be known as King's College London. The Council remained exclusively as the governing body of the Theological Faculty with additional pastoral responsibility for students and staff of both Colleges, but the government of the secular University of London, King's College, was transferred to a new Delegacy established in February 1910. Both Council and Delegacy also maintained separate Professorial Board, Finance and other committees. Following the reunification of the Colleges by Royal Charter in 1980, responsibility for the government of the whole College was returned to the Council.
