ABOUT
A Brief History of the University
One
of the first 16 Universities in India, the University of Kerala was
founded as the University of Travancore in the erstwhile princely state
of Travancore (now southern part of Kerala and some neighbouring parts
of state of Tamilnadu) in 1937. During the 7 decades since the
University of Kerala grew and shrunk physically and transformed itself
in many ways. It is difficult to summarise what the Kerala University is
in a brief space.

The earliest origins of the
University may be traced back to two institutions of modern learning in
Kerala, the University College, Thiruvananthapuram and the Trivandrum
Observatory. The University College was initially founded as the
Maharaja’s Free School by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal in 1834, with Mr John
Roberts. A Christian Missonary as Headmaster, and soon grew into a
college in 1866, affiliated to the Madras University. When the
University of Travancore was founded, the Departments of the college
became the University Departments, only to switch back again when the
transformation to University of Kerala happened in 1957. The University
College still retains its connection with the University as an
affiliated college. The Trivandrum Observatory was founded in 1838 and
had an internationally reputed scientist, John Caldecott FRS as its
first Director. It became a part of the Travancore University, but for
some time was administered as a independent government institution. It
is now the oldest institution under the Kerala University.
The Founder Chancellor along with Pro-Chancellor, VC, PVC and Registrar
The
University of Travancore was established in 1937 by a promulgation of
the Maharajah of Travancore, Sri Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who
was also the first Chancellor of the University. Sir C. P Ramaswamy
Ayyar, the then Diwan (Prime minister) of the State was the first
Vice-Chancellor. He was an eminent scholar and an able administrator.
It is said the Government made an unsuccessful attempt to invite Albert
Einstein to be the first Vice-Chancellor. The University was modelled
after the best Universities of the United Kingdom, and even today
retains some of these features. The affiliating system of the University
however evolved to be different from the college system in British
Universities.
