Cadwaladr Bryner Jones

Sir Cadwaladr Bryner Jones CB CBE FHAS (6 April 1872 – 10 December 1954) was a Welsh agricultural educator and civil servant.

[2] In summer 1907, the college principal invited Bryner Jones, MSc, then Professor of Agriculture at the University of Aberystwyth, to award the annual prizes.

During his short speech the past scholar reminded the audience of the effects of the college's decision sixteen years earlier to embark upon a diploma course.

[3] After leaving Aspatria in 1893, Bryner Jones became assistant lecturer at U.C.N.W., Bangor, responsible for the external workings of agriculture in North Wales.

In 1890, the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, set up a department of agriculture, modelled on Bangor, which included practical farming in its curriculum.

The outbreak of the World War I in 1914 dictated a change of emphasis, and Bryner Jones became increasingly involved in the work of the food production department.

The all-important County War Agricultural Executive Committees in Wales were able to enlist an exceptional band of experienced and well-trained farmers and technical officers in the vital task of increasing food production.

He managed and began to rehabilitate the Glan Llyn section of the Wynnstay estate after its transfer in part settlement of death duties.

His other lifelong interests were Dr Williams School, Dolgellau, to which he gave generous service for 25 years as chairman of the governors, and U.C.W., Aberystwyth.
