The Royal Agricultural University was the first agricultural college in the English-speaking world. It began as a proposal at a meeting of the Fairford and Cirencester Farmers' Club, where Robert Jeffreys-Brown spoke on the advantages of a specific education for agricultural pursuits, and Lord Bathurst was elected president. Funds came from public subscription, with no government support. Construction of the main Victorian Tudor building began in April 1845, and Queen Victoria granted a Royal Charter that same year. The first 25 students were admitted in September 1845, and 108 were enrolled the year after.
