الجامعة الأردنية
Prior to the founding of the University of Jordan, people of Jordan had demanded constantly that a university is to be built in Jordan. Back then, in the 1950's, most Jordanian students studied higher education abroad. In 1962, ِa delegation from the British Army met with the commanders of the Jordanian Army to negotiate terms for an aid from the British government intended to help with the establishment of the University of Jordan. Before King Hussein bin Talal gave the royal decree, he had been negotiating with the Prime Minister Wasfi Tal regarding the establishment of the university, they both agreed on moving forward with it; and thus King Hussein bin Talal put Prime Minister Wasfi Tal in charge of establishing the University of Jordan.
