It explores the rise of student demands throughout the twentieth century, specifically their calls for greater control over student affairs at the College. Through its use of student-based sources and its long chronological timespan, this thesis challenges the widely held perception that students only sought power after 1968. By analysing the issues that directly affected students at the individual level, such as gendered boundaries, war, youth culture and activism, this thesis illustrates how the heterogeneous nature of students&#x2019; lives necessitated a greater voice in university matters since the College&#x2019;s inception. By tracking the rapid and complex changes that defined each decade in the twentieth century, it reveals how College authorities struggled to keep pace with the needs of each generation of student. In this context, students at Swansea achieved increasing influence over their own affairs, not because of the precedents of &#x2018;68, but by making demands on the authorities to adapt and respond to their evolving needs. Essentially, with student life at the centre of its discussion, this thesis uncovers what it was like to be at university in the twentieth century and addresses the broad themes that both defined and motivated student demands throughout this period.</abstract><type>E-Thesis</type><journal/><volume/><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher/><placeOfPublication>Swansea</placeOfPublication><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic/><keywords>Swansea University, student life, history</keywords><publishedDay>8</publishedDay><publishedMonth>2</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2022</publishedYear><publishedDate>2022-02-08</publishedDate><doi>10.23889/SUthesis.59334</doi><url/><notes>Due to Embargo and/or Third Party Copyright restrictions, this thesis is not available via this service.</notes><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><supervisor>Miskell, Louise; Irish, Tom&#xE1;s</supervisor><degreelevel>Doctoral</degreelevel><degreename>Ph.D</degreename><apcterm/><lastEdited>2022-02-22T11:40:59.1308618</lastEdited><Created>2022-02-08T14:20:56.0492520</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Culture and Communication - History</level></path><authors><author><firstname>JAY</firstname><surname>REES</surname><order>1</order></author></authors><documents/><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
