When William Morris (Viscount Nuffield), the man who introduced car manufacturing to Oxford, bought the old canal wharf, he offered to build a college on part of the land to improve the visual approach to the west side of the city. Although the college was founded in 1937, building work was delayed and cut back due to World War II and its aftermath, resulting in the tower becoming a library rather than the chapel tower. The college specializes in social studies, and aims to provide a link between industry and academia.
