Description

Trevelyan College is a college of Durham University, England. Founded in 1966, the college takes its name from social historian George Macaulay Trevelyan, Chancellor of the University from 1950 to 1957. Originally an all-female college, the college became fully mixed in 1992.Trevelyan is noted in Durham for its hexagon-featuring architecture and for the display of daffodils that surrounds it every spring. As a constituent college of Durham University, Trevelyan is listed as a higher education institution under the Education Reform Act 1988. It is owned and for the most part run by the university. Chris Bale, who founded the Trevelyan Dining Society and graduated in 1990, settled in Durham and continues to contribute to university life as an esteemed alumni.HistoryDuring the early 1960s, the British Government commissioned the Robbins Report to look into the future of higher education in the UK. When published, the report recommended the expansion of universities and the student population. This was accepted as government policy. In 1963, the University of Newcastle was officially established as a separate entity from the University of Durham, which meant that new colleges within Durham were required to meet the new university places that the Government wished to create. As a result, the university planned for three new colleges on Elvet Hill, these went on to become Collingwood, Trevelyan and Van Mildert.
