СКАЧАТЬ described it as ‘Jacobethan’. What is clear is that Hare wished to associate the building in style with Oxbridge university buildings, but with due homage to Wales and Welsh history. There are seven statues on the exterior of the building – including those of St David and Owain Glyndŵr – and the arms of the Drapers’ Company adorn the library wall. Hare gave the University College a building of which to be proud, at once dignified and noble, a ‘majestical fabric’ in the words of W. Lewis Jones, the Professor of English.¹⁶ The head of an English University was reported to consider the building ‘too good for mortal man’,¹⁷ while many more came to regard it as ‘a lasting monument to the interest which the working men and women of Wales took in education’.¹⁸

      The foundation stone of the new building was laid by King Edward VII on 9 July 1907 at an impressive ceremony during which a knighthood was conferred on Harry Reichel. In 1909, largely as a result of Lloyd George’s persuasions, Sir John Prichard-Jones, an Anglesey man who had risen in the business world to become managing director of Dickens and Jones, offered to bear the cost of building the great hall. This was ‘munificent liberality’ in Lloyd George’s view, and the University College Council warmly thanked both Lloyd George and Prichard-Jones.¹⁹ In July 1911, a further royal visit saw King George V officially open the new building. In the end, there was insufficient funding to complete the main quadrangle, and the science departments remained in the old home for another 15 years.
