Fix this textABERYSTWYTH, situated at the centre of
Fix this textthe wide sweep of Cardigan Bay, is not
Fix this text6nly a popular seaside resort, but it is the chief
Fix this textcommercial and intellectual centre of mid-
Fix this textWales, and therefore plays a leading role in
Fix this textWelsh national life. The town had its origin
Fix this textin 1277, when it grew up around the castle
Fix this textfounded by Edmund Crouchback, brother of
Fix this textEdward I. This stronghold had a stormy
Fix this texthistory, for ft was taken and retaken by
Fix this textopposing forces in the thirteenth century, and
Fix this textnothing now remains of it but a few fragments
Fix this textDuring the years 1404 to 1408 it was one of
Fix this textOwen Glendower’s chief strongholds; in 1646
Fix this textit was handed over to the Parliamentary forces,
Fix this textand subsequently blown up.
Fix this textThe founding of the University College of
Fix this textWales at Aberystwyth in 1872 was the result of
Fix this textthe growth of national consciousness and the
Fix this textdesire to preserve Welsh traditions and learning.
Fix this textThe first demand for a separate University came
Fix this textfrom a group of exiles whose patriotic senti-
Fix this textment was heightened by absence from their
Fix this textnative land. These were the Welsh clergy in
Fix this textYorkshire, who sent a petition to Parliament
Fix this textin 1852. There was little progress in the move-
Fix this textment, however, until 1863, when a group of
Fix this textLondon Welshmen met under the chairmanship
Fix this textof William Williams in the Freemasons’ Tavern
Fix this textin London and set up a committee to collect
Fix this textfunds. Following questions in Parliament an
Fix this texteducation commission was set up in 1864, and
Fix this textfour years later, owing to the bankruptcy of a
Fix this textfirm of railway constructors, who had spent
Fix this text£80,000 on a large hotel at Aberystwyth, the
Fix this textpromoters of a Welsh University were able to
Fix this textbuy the building for £10,000; it was this acci-
Fix this textdent which led to the founding of the first
Fix this textUniversity College at Aberystwyth.
Fix this textThe college opened in 1872 with twenty-five
Fix this textstudents, and for ten years it had to rely mainly
Fix this texton small voluntary subscriptions, and was thus,
Fix this textin a real sense, supported by “pennies from the
Fix this textpoor.” Sir Hugh Owen was mainly responsible
Fix this textfor organising these subscriptions and arousing
Fix this textinterest in what was to become the senior
Fix this textconstituent college of the University of Wales.
Fix this textIn later years, with Government suppprt, three
Fix this textother colleges, at Cardiff, Bangor and Swansea,
Fix this textwere established, and by a royal charter of 1893
Fix this textall the Colleges were united, and the University
Fix this textof Wales came into being under its first
Fix this textChancellor, Lord Aberdare.
