Sir Henry Rudolf Reichel (11 October 1856 – 22 June 1931), was a founder of the University of Wales. [1]
Born in Belfast, the son of a future Bishop of Meath, Reichel was educated at Christ's Hospital and Balliol College, Oxford. He was a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, from 1880 until 1894. [2] He was appointed the first principal of the University College of North Wales, in Bangor. [3] He retained the post from the age of 28 until 1927 when he was 71. [4]
Linked to the Nationalist movement of Wales, he was the vice-chancellor of the University of Wales for six terms. Knighted in 1907, he had a quiet and reserved character, but was celebrated by many in Wales, and many tributes were given upon his death in 1931.
In June 1901 he received an honorary doctorate ( LL.D) from the University of Glasgow during the university's 450th jubilee. [5]
