Ballarat Teachers' College was established in 1926 to provide trained teachers for rural school positions. The principal, Bill Ellwood, was an inspirational and dynamic educator who imbued his students with the importance of social and community service. This ideal would equip the young teachers with an attitude that would attract the esteem and respect of the rural communities to which they would be assigned upon completion of their course. The ethos of service that was taught to and embraced by the students at the college between 1926 and 1931, as well as the history of the institution during those years, is focused upon in this article.
