Abstract

The University of Kent stands proudly on land that was originally a gift to Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, from King Æthelberht of Kent. The philanthropic heritage at its heart and in its very foundations continued, as the university was built with the aid of gifts from local people, businesses and charities. It has been a prominent institution within the county since it first opened its doors in 1965; yet the philanthropy that continues to spur the University’s development has never received due recognition.

This book is a Beacon project, produced in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the University of Kent, 1965- 2015.
