Leicester,
The University was founded as Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland University
College in 1921. The site for the University was donated by a local businessman,
Thomas Fielding Johnson, in order to create a living memorial for all local
people who made sacrifices during the First World War. This is reflected in the
University's motto Ut vitam habeant – 'so that they may have life'.
