The second in a series, this volume traces the history of the
federal University of Wales from its foundation in 1893 to the eve
of World War II and places it in the broad background of higher
education in Britain. The main strands of academic advance are
considered along with the architecture of the principal buildings
of the University. There are chapters on student life and the
impact of the Great War. Since the University and its colleges were
largely the product of a national movement the last two chapters of
the book are devoted to the relationship between university and
nation and to the nature of Welsh society during a period of
cultural awakening which, argues the author, owed much to the
University of Wales.
The first of a three-volume set, A History of the University of
Wales. It was with a sense of pride and conviction that the
founding fathers of the University of Wales created a national
institution "in and for Wales" in 1893. This volume celebrates the
centenary of the University by recalling the foundation and early
days, tracing the development of the university movement in Wales
from the very beginning to the granting of the Charter in 1893. It
casts a critical eye on an institution which was reputed at its
inception to represent "the soul of the nation".
