Aberdare Hall ((ウェールズ語:Neuadd Aberdar)) is a hall of residence at Cardiff University in Wales. It provides housing for 125 female students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aberdarehallcrs.tripod.com/id9.html )〕 ==History== Aberdare Hall was established in 1883 by the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire (later University College, Cardiff, now Cardiff University) as a residence for female students. Its foundation was due to the efforts of Lady Aberdare (1827–1897) (the wife of Henry Bruce, 1st Baron Aberdare) and John Viriamu Jones (1856–1909), the principal of the University College. There were few opportunities for women's higher education in Britain at the time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archiveswales.org.uk/anw/get_collection.php?inst_id=33&coll_id=2392&expand= )〕 It was the second university residence solely for women in Britain. The first building was Keswick House in Richmond Road, which opened in 1885 with nine students.〔 The principals at this time included Ethel Hurlbatt, who later became principal of Bedford College in the University of London. The current building opened in 1895, designed in the Gothic revival style in brick and terracotta by W. D. Caroe.〔 The library wing to the north-east designed by Verner Rees was built in 1939–40, and the garden wing designed by ''Verner Rees, Laurence and Mitchell'' in 1963. It is still a female-only hall.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aberdare Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
