The University of Bath at 50 The University of Bath received its Royal Charter in 1966, and will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2016. But, in truth, it can trace its history back over 150 years.

The University has its roots in Bristol. The Great Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851 brought

about a realisation that scientific and craft education on the continent might be superior to our own. This prompted the establishment of the Bristol Trade School in 1856, the success of which led to it coming under the patronage of the Society of Merchant Venturers in 1885 as the Merchant Venturers’ Technical College. The College worked in close collaboration with the University of Bristol, providing its Faculty of Engineering until 1949, when two important changes took place: the Society of Merchant Venturers, not wishing to provide the financial resources which the continuing expansion of technical education demanded, passed control to the City of Bristol Education Authority; and the longstanding formal link with the University of Bristol was severed.

Over the next 15 years there was a gradual gearing up in the level of provision – some of which passed to the then Bristol Technical College in 1960 – so that in that year the College, by then known as the Bristol College of Science & Technology, became one of the ten colleges of advanced technology administered by the Ministry of Education. The adoption by Government of the recommendations of the Robbins Committee ensured the College’s transition to independent university status.

Construction on the Bath site began in 1964, with the first building being completed in 1965; the Royal Charter was granted in the following year. Over the subsequent ten years the bulk of the building took place, with the University gradually assuming its present form. Building, and rebuilding, to meet current needs continues.

In the first 50 years of its life as a university, Bath has been proud to become recognised as one of the leading universities of the United Kingdom, able to look to the future with confidence. In so doing, the University has remained true to the aims of the original founders of the College in undertaking teaching and research at standards of excellence which are challenging and innovative, and are relevant to our local communities, our region and the world.

Bath has consistently been ranked among the top universities in the world under the age of 50.

Events will be taking place throughout the year to celebrate our achievements and look to the future. We will be seeking to enhance existing, and establish new, relationships which encourage ongoing involvement with the University, whether by building research links, encouraging philanthropic support, or by promoting the full range of University activities and initiatives.

Over the last 50 years, we have expanded and enriched our community by conferring honorary degrees on many remarkable men and women. As part of our anniversary celebrations, we will be awarding over 60 honorary degrees in recognition of outstanding contributions in different fields of endeavour.

Honorary Graduand Professor Kevin Edge Oration Vice-Chancellor, it is my pleasure to introduce Professor Kevin Edge, an academic and an academic leader whose story is intricately linked with that of the University. It is particularly appropriate to make this award at the Bath/ASME International Fluid Power and Motion Control Symposium, as he was the principal organiser of this annual event for a period of 15 years from 1988.

Kevin Edge’s career has striking similarities to that of the University of Bath. Born in Bristol, Kevin studied at Kingswood Grammar School before joining the University in 1967 as a student on the Mechanical Engineering degree programme at the brand new Bath

campus on Claverton Down. His academic studies were complemented by several industrial placements with his sponsor, Rolls Royce Aero Engines. He graduated with a First Class Honours degree in 1971 and, after completing a PhD at Bath, he re-joined Rolls Royce for a couple of years prior to returning to the University as a Research Officer concerned with noise in hydraulic systems. A lectureship followed and his career then blossomed as a result of his studious attention to detail in research and skilful management of colleagues. He received a personal chair in 1991, was head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering for 6 years from 1997 and was appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research in 2003. In 2008, he was made Deputy Vice-Chancellor and was a key player in the meteoric growth of the University, which has become one of the leading universities in the UK for undergraduate study and for research.

It would take too long to list the numerous awards that have been heaped on Kevin, other than to mention the IMechE Joseph Bramah Medal, a Fellowship to the Royal Academy of Engineering, a DSc from the University of Bath and numerous awards for technical papers that he authored over his career. Indeed, including this award, he is the only person in the history of the university to have received 3 doctorates from the University of Bath!

His research interests spanned all things hydraulic, including pumping dynamics, valve systems, fault diagnosis, control and fluid borne noise, the latter leading to the publication of new ISO Standards. More widely, his work on a tilting city vehicle has reached an estimated world audience of 100 million, appeared on the front cover of TIME magazine and was cited as one of the six best inventions of 2007. Under his tenure as the Head of Department, Mechanical Engineering received a 5* award in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, while as Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the University was placed first in the 2014 and 2015 Times Higher Education Survey.

It is telling that, on retirement, Kevin’s role as Deputy Vice-Chancellor was reviewed and he was replaced by two senior posts, a testament to the influence that Kevin had over many years. Kevin stands here today as a role model for a younger generation, an example of what can be achieved as a graduate from Bath and a highly respected academic and leader who was trusted and admired by all who worked with him.

Vice-Chancellor, I present to you Kevin Edge, who is eminently worthy to receive the degree of Doctor of Engineering, honoris causa.

The Robert E. Koski Medal The Robert E. Koski Medal, established in 2007, recognizes individuals who have advanced the art and practice of fluid power motion and control through education and/or innovation. The Medal was established by the Fluid Power Systems and Technology Division to honour Robert E. Koski's contributions to the field of Design Engineering and Dynamic and Systems and Control.

The 2016 Robert E. Koski Medal will be awarded to Professor Kim Stelson, Distinguished Professor at University of Minnesota and Director of the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power.

The Joseph Bramah Medal The Joseph Bramah Fund was established in 1968 at the instigation of Mr Frank Towler, a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (1932-1977), who arranged for its support by industry to commemorate Joseph Bramah, the inventor of a patent lock, the hydraulic press and other inventions concerned with pumps, water supply and the production of pipes and tubes by the extrusion process. The 2014 Joseph Bramah Medal will be awarded to Professor Win Rampen of Edinburgh University and Artemis Intelligent Power in recognition of his contributions to fluid power.
