ago or little more , was an extension lecture programme , the lectures being given in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum under the auspices of Cambridge University .sx There are still some who remember the Cambridge founding and more who still know the College as " the Memorial .sx " In the second phase a new founder , the City Council of Exeter , appointed a Principal in 1893 , and assigned him and his small staff a few back rooms in the Museum .sx Presently some nearby houses now demolished were requisitioned .sx A small wing was added to the Museum in 1898 to house the science teaching .sx By 1908 the style of " University College " had been adopted .sx The erection of the main building on the rise behind the Museum in 1911 opened the third phase of consolidation as a Municipal Day .sx Training College .sx The growth of work for the external degrees of London University , side by side with the professional training of teachers , led eleven years later to incorporation as an independent University College in receipt of a direct grant from the University Grants Committee .sx The present phase dates , therefore , from 1922 .sx The charter of incorporation replaced the control of the City Council of Exeter by a territorial constitution in which the contributing Education Authorities of the South West , viz :sx Devon , Cornwall , Dorset , Exeter and Plymouth bear a share .sx In recognition of the wider territorial character H.R.H. The Prince of Wales as Duke of Cornwall had already honoured the College by becoming its first President .sx By 1922 , moreover , the residential system had rooted itself :sx Bradninch Hall for Women was opened by the College , and Sandford Hall for Women by a Diocesan Committee in .sx 1902 .sx Grendon Hall for Men , a College foundation , followed in 1920 .sx The late Mr. W. H. Reed's gift of a Mansion , now Reed Hall of Residence for Men , and its grounds at Streatham confirmed the residential principle and fixed the future site of the College .sx In little more than a generation the efforts of the staff , the enthusiasm of a band of leading citizens for education , the persistency of the City Council of Exeter , and , since 1922 , the support of the other Education Authorities have given the South West a University institution of its own , and the hope , besides , of a University in the full sense .sx If the first duty of Universities is to be the repositories and the pioneers of knowledge , the second is to teach , the one duty the more essential , and the other the more obvious .sx The College serves the community by training men and .sx women for the educated callings .sx The chief outlet , as in all Universities everywhere , is the teaching profession :sx but scarcely any profession , from government research posts to mission work in China , is unrepresented on the College lists .sx The absorption of the yearly output in diverse forms of work proceeds with more than average ease .sx Among the grounds for this success are the native refinement of the South West types , the intimate methods of the teaching , and the influences and the amenities of the residential system .sx The College would profit less in life and work from these inside factors were the outside conditions less favourable than they are .sx Exeter , an ancient cathedral city , small , cultivated , and diverse , the capital , moreover , of a beautiful and historic county , is an ideal seat for a University .sx The College estate at Streatham on the northern fringe of the city , 140 acres of hill and valley , grassland and woods , on .sx which all buildings and activities are being concentrated , is a campus unique among the Universities of Great Britain .sx The College seeks to combine the traditional spirit of the ancient universities with the newer methods and standards and to balance the strictly academic influences by the social .sx It aims at becoming a little Oxford , residential , humane , modern and inexpensive .sx Of the new Universities the first two , Durham and London , were founded about a century ago .sx The next group , the federal Victoria University comprising Manchester , Leeds and Liverpool , followed fifty years later , and almost all of the rest were in being by the outbreak of the Great War .sx In each region the provincial or territorial University crowns the system of public education as its copestone , standing to the secondary schools as they stand to the elementary .sx schools .sx
