History
The University of Southampton has its origin as the Hartley Institution which was formed in 1862 from a benefaction by
Henry Robinson Hartley (1777–1850). Hartley had inherited a fortune from two generations of successful wine merchants.
At his death in 1850, he left a bequest of £103,000 to the Southampton Corporation for the study and advancement of the
sciences in his property on Southampton's High Street, in the city centre.
“ ...employ the interest, dividends and annual proceeds in such a manner as best promote the study and advancement of
the sciences of Natural History, Astronomy, Antiquities, Classical and Oriental Literature in the town, such as by forming a
Public Library, Botanic Gardens, Observatory, and collections of objects with the above sciences.” —Bequest to the
Corporation of Southampton of Henry Robertson Hartley estate.
Hartley was an eccentric straggler, who had little liking of the new age docks and railways in Southampton. He did not desire
to create a college for many (as formed at similar time in other English industrial towns and commercial ports) but a cultural
centre for Southampton's intellectual elite. After lengthy legal challenges to the Bequest, and a public debate as to how best
interpret the language of his Will, the Southampton Corporation choose to create the Institute
In 1902, the Hartley College became the Hartley University College, a degree awarding branch of the University of London.
This was after inspection of the teaching and finances by the University College Grants Committee, and donations from
Council members (including William Darwin the then Treasurer). An increase in student numbers in the following years
motivated fund raising efforts to move the college to greenfield land around Back Lane (now University Road) in the
Highfield area of Southampton. On 20 June 1914, Viscount Haldane opened the new site of the renamed Southampton
University College. However, the outbreak of the First World War six weeks later meant no lectures could take place there,
as the buildings were handed over by the college authorities for use as a military hospital. In order to cope with the volume
of casualties, wooden huts were erected at the rear of the building. These were donated to university by the War Office
after the end of fighting, in time for the transfer from the high street premises in 1920. At this time, Highfield Hall, a former
country house and overlooking Southampton Common, for which a lease had earlier been secured, commenced use as a
halls of residence for female students. South Hill, on what is now the Glen Eyre Halls Complex was also acquired, along with
South Stoneham House to house male students.
Further expansions through the 1920s and 1930s was made possible through private donors, such as the two daughters of
Edward Turner Sims for the construction of the University library, and from the people of Southampton, enabling new
buildings on both sides of University Road. During World War II the university suffered damage in the Southampton Blitz
with bombs landing on the campus and its halls of residence. The college decided against evacuation, instead expanding its
Engineering Department, School of Navigation and developing a new School of Radio Telegraphy. Halls of residence were
also used to house Polish, French and American troops. After the war, departments such as Electronics grew under the
influence of Erich Zepler and the Institute of Sound and Vibration was established.
