Postcards from the Past
From 2011 to 2013 the University will be celebrating its 600th Anniversary. There will be a wide range of celebratory events for students, staff, alumni and visitors. This will be an exciting time to be a student at the University; joining a community which has been thriving for 600 years.
To celebrate this historic Anniversary, you will find‘Postcards from the Past’ throughout this prospectus. The quotations are taken from the collection of reminiscences of former students in the University’s archive. The images have all been selected from rare books, manuscripts and photographs held by the Special Collections Department of the University Library.
