  Tracing the development of the University of Exeter over the six decades since it was granted its royal charter, this book tells the history of the institution and its community. The author draws on a wide range of resources, from archival material to the personal recollections of staff and students, and records and analyzes the story of the university as it engaged with the need to expand and evolve while responding to constant financial and political pressures. Including interviews with leading university figures, contributions from former students, and a postscript looking to the future, this volume charts the University of Exeter's changing place in the world of higher education.
