At the beginning of 1960 the Faculty of Arts was formed and at that time the Department of Government became the School of Political Science (Council 9 November 1959, 59/204). But (due mainly to the absence of an appointment of a professor of political science) in May 1961 the school was amalgamated with the School of History to become the School of History & Political Science (Council 8 May 1961, 61/68).
