  University of Wales, Lampeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
University of Wales, Lampeter (Welsh: Prifysgol Cymru, Llanbedr Pont Steffan) is a university in Lampeter, Wales, the oldest degree awarding institution in Wales, and the third oldest in England and Wales after Oxford and Cambridge.
As such, after the ancient universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and those in Scotland, it is the oldest university institution in Britain, receiving its first charter in 1828.
Lampeter currently awards University of Wales degrees, and as such, the academic dress matches that of the University of Wales - graduates wear a fl stuff gown, with bell sleeves and a mazarin blue shot green.

 Reporter 11/3/98: Report of Discussion
In 1979 it was argued that academical dress signifies membership of the University and that it would therefore be improper to wear the dress of another university on a formal Cambridge occasion.
To suggest that it is somehow demeaning to any member of the Regent House is an insult to the University, and symptomatic of a creeping tendency to regard the individual as grander than the institution to which she is privileged to belong.
I suggest that the academical dress for the members of this particular 'great place' should be that of the University of Cambridge and not of anywhere else.

Soon after arriving, Kaufman visited the University to see Anaïs Nin-then known more for her intimate association with Miller than for her own risqué writings-speak on the films of her husband Ian Hugo.
Not as critically praised as Goldstein, it nonetheless was enough to secure him a small contract with Universal and a move to Los Angeles.
Perhaps Kaufman is the Chuck Yeager of filmmaking, breaking the barriers, a ghost in the independent film world, chasing the movie demons so later artists can have their fame.
