Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 May, 2003
More than 6000 people
joined in the University of Melbourne's 150th Anniversary Community
Open Weekend at Parkville Campus- celebrating the origins and achievements
of Victoria's oldest university and its place as a cultural institution
of the state and the nation.
Visitors responded to an open invitation
by the University to the public to enjoy a packed program of concerts,
theatrical productions, exhibitions, tours of grounds and buildings
and entertaining lectures and debates.
The central 150th ceremonial event
was an academic procession from the new Law School at University Square
to Wilson Hall for a Conferring of Degrees Ceremony, followed in the
evening by the Town and Gown Dinner.
