The opening of the University College, Nottingham, by Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, 1881. Artist: Unknown

The opening of the University College, Nottingham, by Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, 1881. The University College was opened by HRH Prince Leopold George Duncan Albert of Great Britain and Ireland on 30th June 1881. From its foundation in 1881, the University College came under the authority of the Nottingham Corporation and the College's management committee was controlled by the Town Council. In 1906-1908 DH Lawrence was a student at the University College. In August 1948, the University College received the royal charter granting full University status and the power to confer its own degrees (prior to this date students at Nottingham received degrees from the University of London). The University relocated to its present Highfields site between Lenton, Dunkirk and Beeston, land donated by Jesse Boot, in 1928. Parts of the old University College buildings were then used as Nottingham Central Library before becoming what is today part of Nottingham Trent University.
