The establishment of the college was financed through the benefaction of Lancashire County Council and it is named after it.〔Lancaster University, ("History of the University: Origins and Growth" )〕 The original college building, County Main, was opened by HM The Queen in 1969. 〔 SCAN, ("A Tale of Nine Colleges" ) 〕 ==History== County college was the only college to be named after its benefactors, the County Council, who donated a generous sum of money towards its construction and promised to donate £50,000 a year for 10 years towards the university’s running costs. A commemorative plaque situated outside the college office remembers their generous contribution. It was decided that County college should be based upon the old Oxonian idea of building colleges around a quadrangle because it adds to the collegiate nature of the university and expresses the idea of an individual community. The only way that a square could be incorporated into County was around an old oak tree that had been spared as a sapling by an agricultural labourer over 200 years ago.〔Lancaster University, ("History of the University: Origins and Growth" )〕 This original college building is now known as ''County Main''. The building was erected around the tree without damage to its roots. The College is very conscious of its responsibility for the health of the tree and beneath its shade are two bench seats erected in memory of two former College Officers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The County College, Lancaster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
