T. H. Parry-Williams a Helynt y Gadair Gymraeg yn Aberystwyth yn 1919–1920
Mewn sgwrs radio hunango annol a luniodd yn 1970, ryw ddeunaw mlynedd ar ôl iddo ymddeol o’i swydd fel Athro a Phennaeth Adran y Gymraeg yng Ngholeg Prifysgol Cymru Aberystwyth, mae T. H. Parry-Williams yn bwrw trem yn ôl ar rai o droeon cynnar ei yrfa ac yn cyfeirio’n benodol at sesiwn academaidd 1919–20 pan wrthododd gael ei ailbenodi i’w swydd fel darlithydd cynorthwyol, swydd yr oedd wedi ei dal oddi ar 1914.1 Fe benderfynodd, yn ei eiriau ef ei hun, ‘[d] a u popeth i’r gwynt’ a newid llwybr ei yrfa’n llwyr drwy ymrestru fel myfyriwr blwyddyn gyntaf yn y Coleg gyda’r bwriad o astudio meddygaeth yn un o ysbytai Llundain. Er dweud bod y fenter honno’n un eithaf ‘rhyfygus’ ar ei ran ‒ dyna ei union air ef i ddisgri o’i benderfyniad ‒ mae’n cyfaddef i’r wyddyn honno fod, ac rwy’n dyfynnu, yn ‘un o’r blynyddoedd mwyaf gorfoleddus yn fy hanes academig’.2
