Founded in 1920, the University College of Swansea was the product of a long and, at times, dramatic struggle. How this movement for what was seen as a technologically-based college intended to meet the limited needs of local industry has resulted in a university college of international standing, embracing a multitude of disciplines, is the essence of this history. It is told within the context of the institution's relationship with the local community as well as its place in the broader field of British university development generally. At the same time, the emphasis is laid not only on the story of the institution, but also on the individuals who have given the University College its lifeblood and character.Comprehensively illustrated with over 100 black-and-white illustrations, this book will prove fascinating reading for all those who are, or ever have been, involved with the University College of Swansea.
