Strong ties bind Lawrence to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½
 
 

Strong ties bind Lawrence to The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. Lawrence studied for his teacher's certificate at the then University College ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ from 1906-8; he drew upon the experience to describe Ursula Brangwen's college education in The Rainbow. He was largely disillusioned by his experience of academic life. According to former ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Professor and renowned Lawrence scholar, John Worthen, Lawrence enjoyed 'a sardonic, ironic relationship' with the University, but he fondly remains in the hearts and minds of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ staff, students and locals alike.
