Colleges
• PAT Traynor (Letters, September 17) is correct about the present status of the University of London, but your journalist (University is challenged over ‘Gandhi was graduate’ claim, September 10) was not wrong either, in saying “…University of London (now UCL)”.
What is now UCL was founded as the University of London, only the third university in England, in 1826.
Three years later, King’s College London was founded and the two formed the federation known now as the University of London, as an examining body.
The original University of London took the name University College London.
All this happened well before Gandhi’s time.
