The University of Birmingham, the new buildings of which were opened by the King..., 1909. 'Cause Of The First Visit Paid To Birmingham By The King Since His Coronation: The University Of Birmingham, The New Buildings Of Which Were Opened By The King On Wednesday Last, July 7. The University of Birmingham is the successor of the Mason University College, which was opened twenty-nine years ago. The success that attended the work of the College gave rise to the desire to obtain for it the status of a university. In 1900 a royal charter was granted. Soon after this, it was decided that the accommodation was insufficient, and new buildings were planned'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
