Bangor University 1884-2009

by David F. Roberts

The University of Wales, Bangor has a rich and compelling history. The story of this seat of learning--from its opening in an eighteenth-century coaching inn in 1884 to a multimillion-pound investment in staff and buildings--is one of heroic struggles, personal endeavor, financial crises, and political unrest. Roberts traces the growth and development of the institution, focusing on the personalities that shaped its direction.
