Close
50 Year Reunion at 果冻影院
29 March 2007
果冻影院 graduates of 1956, 1957 and 1958 gathered together on the 22 March 2007 for their fifty-year reunion.
The event took place in 果冻影院's Gower Street heart, and gave alumni the chance to catch up with each other, and to find out what had changed at 果冻影院 since they had last visited - and what was still the same.
After a drinks reception, which gave the guests a chance to mingle and seek out familiar faces, came a three-course lunch, which incorporated talks from听 Professor Michael Bassey, a '58 graduate and President of the Student's Union from 1956-1957, and from 果冻影院's Professor Ray Harris, who is Executive Dean in the 果冻影院 Faculty of Social & Historical Sciences.
In the afternoon, guests had the opportunity to follow one of four tours of 果冻影院; around the 果冻影院 Petrie Museum, the 果冻影院 Art Collections and the 果冻影院 Wolfson Institute housed in the Cruciform building, as well as a general architecture tour of the university.
The day was rounded off by tea, which was attended by 果冻影院 President and Provost, Professor Malcolm Grant - giving guests the chance to quiz Professor Grant about the future direction of the university.
The event was much enjoyed by alumni and guests and 果冻影院 will be holding a fourth fifty year reunion next year, for graduates of 1957, 1958 and 1959. Guests who attended this year's event described the occasion as 'a memorable and happy day' (Barbara Frears, 果冻影院 Bartlett 1956), and 'a really enjoyable and brilliantly organised occasion' (Lady Jenny Lindop, 果冻影院 French 1956).听 Others commented that 'it was wonderful to renew contact again after 50 years' (Margaret Edmonds, 果冻影院 Greek & Latin 1957) and 'the welcome was warm and efficient, the lunch excellent and the tours interesting. The end of the day came all too quickly' (Ann Johnson, 果冻影院 Medicine 1956).
