It was founded as Leicestershire and Rutland College in [[1918]] in the memory of those who lost their life in [[World War I]]. The university motto "Ut vitam habeant" - 'so that they may have life' - reminds one of that origin. Students were first admitted in [[1921]]. In [[1927]], after it became University College, Leicester, students sat the examinations for external degrees of [[London University]].
