The University formed in 1904 as a substitute for the failing University of Oxford at Leeds. It was one of the first UK universities to allow athiests and thickos entry, unlike for instance Oxford and Cambridge who practiced holy-inquisition upon its students. Upon its creation it attracted a multitude of dog-owners who mistakenly thought it was a training college for wayward pets, traditionally it was maintained that this was due to a typo (University of Leads) in the original door-to-door flyer but more recent research has concluded that the people who came were just a bit thick. Renowlned Leeds etymologist Dr. B.A. D'Spellar has also argued that the term 'Leeds' is a debased form of the ancient title: 'Adegree-tha-Leeds-nowhere'.
