A Working University, 1888–1903: Meeting the Needs of the Region
摘要
The initial period following the integration of the Yorkshire College in 1887 may be viewed as one of consolidation and systematic operation. The structures and modus operandi of the University had, in broad terms, been agreed. The period that followed was one of steady working and refinement. In May 1890, the University elected its third Vice Chancellor, Gerald Rendall, Principal of University College, Liverpool, the first appointment from outside Owens College. The whole process worked very smoothly. The period was also one of steady growth in activity for the Victoria University. In 1890, the number of candidates for University examinations was 387; by 1893, this had increased to 762. The number of degrees awarded was 57 in 1890, increasing to 117 in 1893.
