1 Jan 1828 Jahr - University of London

Beschreibung:

The University of London -- or University College London, as it's called today -- opened in 1828 with no state sanction and no link to any Church. It was fiercely opposed by Oxford and Cambridge and was mocked by right-wing journalists as a place with "no CHURCH, no KING, no 'nothing else,'" an institution which "has no claim to the title of University." However, it received its charter in 1836 (Whyte).
