 First report of the commissioners [on university education in Wales]
The origin of the Higher Education movement which culminated in the setting up of the University of Wales, dates from the religious revival at the end of the 18th century, when there was a great demand for a trained pastorate.
The Advisory Committee reporting on the Welsh University and Colleges (Grants in Aid) (1916 (62) viii, 433), stated that the 'Colleges were founded as separately organized and independent institutions before the University was created,' and to this fact must be attributed the somewhat anomalous situation that exists.
The Commission framed recommendations on the lines that the government of the University should rest upon a broad popular basis, and should be conducted by a Court, the functions of which should be deliberative, legislative and ceremonial, and by a Council of 18 members, which should be the executive and administrative authority of the University.

The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (the ‘College by the Sea’, as it has always been known affectionately in Wales) was the first constituent college in the federal University of Wales and, indeed, one of the older provincial university institutions in the United Kingdom.
It was, therefore, fitting that the celebration of the centenary of its birth should have been marked in 1972 by the publication of a full-scale history of the College.
This book not only makes an important contribution to the history of modern Wales but also places the history of the College in the wider educational and social context of the United Kingdom as a whole in the period 1872—1972.
