==History==
[[File:Mumbai 03-2016 37 University.jpg|thumb|right|A building of the University of Mumbai]]
In accordance with "[[Wood's despatch]]", drafted by [[Charles Wood, 1st Viscount Halifax|Sir Charles Wood]] in 1854, The University of Bombay was established in 1857 after the presentation of a petition from the Bombay Association to the British colonial government in India.<ref name="Tikekar">{{cite book |author=Aroon Tikekar |year=2006 |title=The Cloister's Pale: A Biography of the University of Mumbai |edition=2nd |publisher=Popular Prakashan |location=Mumbai |isbn=978-81-7991-293-5}}</ref> The University of Mumbai was modelled on similar universities in the [[United Kingdom]], specifically the [[University of London]].<ref name="Tikekar"/>{{rp|188}}

The first departments established were the Faculty of Arts at [[Elphinstone College]] in 1835 and the Faculty of Medicine at [[Grant Medical College]] in 1845.<ref name="Tikekar"/> Both colleges existed before the university was founded and surrendered their degree-granting privileges to the university. The first degrees awarded in 1862 were [[Bachelor of Arts]] and [[Licentiate in Medicine and Surgery|Licentiate in Medicine]].<ref name="Tikekar"/> Medical schools such as Sindh Medical School in [[Hyderabad, Sindh]] were affiliated with the University as well.

One of Mumbai's landmarks, the [[Rajabai Clock Tower]], was completed in the 1870s and houses the University of Mumbai's library. Sir [[George Gilbert Scott]] modeled the Rajabai Clock Tower on the clock tower of the [[Palace of Westminster]] in [[London]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mumbailocal.net/rajabai-tower-mumbai|title=Rajabai Tower Mumbai: Tourist Attractions in Mumbai|publisher=Mumbailocal.Net|date=7 November 2010}}</ref> Local businessman [[Premchand Roychand]] contributed to the cost of construction and named the tower in memory of his mother, Rajabai. The tower is {{convert|280|ft|m|abbr=on|order=flip}} tall and has five storeys. At a height of {{convert|30|ft|m|abbr=on|order=flip}} from the ground, there are eight statues representing the Indian castes. The tower clock is reported to have played 16 tunes including "[[Rule Britannia]]", "[[God Save the Queen]]", "[[Home! Sweet Home!]]" and "A Handel Symphony".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/607728/clock-towers-still-star-attractions.html|title= Clocktower chimes|publisher= Deccan Herald|date=22 April 2017}}</ref> On the initiative of the then Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Rajan Welukar, the first phase of restoration of Rajabai Clock Tower started in 2013 and was completed in May 2015.
