Aerial view of the University in 1929: “the unrivalled site upon which we stand”.

“We trust and believe that the buildings which are to rise upon this site will become the home of high ideals and lofty purpose and of unfailing efforts for the advancement of learning, the improvement of industry, and the betterment of civilisation.”, welcome address [16, p. 92] by Frank Gilbertson at the foundation ceremony, 19th July 1920.

Most of the “temporary” science “pavilions” built to the west of Singleton Abbey between 1922 and 1925 lasted more than 50 years [15, p. 98]. Student numbers [15, p. 119] grew from 89 in 1920-21, to 382 in 1925-26, reaching 485 in 1930-31, just after this photograph was taken

The King presents the Royal Charter to Frank Gilbertson, first President of the University College of Swansea on 19th July, 1920

This enormous canvas (top) by Percy Gleaves (1882-1944) hangs on the landing of Singleton Abbey, having recently been restored.

Before laying the foundation stone (bottom left), King George V presents the Royal Charter to Frank Gilbertson, first President of the University College of Swansea. The foundation stone was subsequently “lost” in the Swansea Corporation yard for 17 years [15, p. 89] until it was re-laid in the wall of the 1937 Library (bottom right), the first purpose-built permanent building to be constructed on the campus.

The hefty chains holding the stone suggest industrial heavy engineering – not inappropriate to the founders of the institution. The sunny parkland setting and rather naive style of the painting add to the air of symbolism.
