Former Professors Honoured

In a double tribute to the late Sir Charles Cotton members of the University Council at their July meeting stood in silence for a minute, and later resolved to name the new Physics and Earth Sciences Building after Sir Charles.

Sir Charles, Professor of Geology from 1921 to 1953 was referred to by the Chancellor, Mr R.S.L. Simpson as a man who had commanded international respect for his scholarship.

Accepting recommendation from the Professorial Board and the Students Representative Council, the University Council resolved that the first tower of the buildings on the western side of Kelburn Parade be named after Professor Von Zedlitz.

This tower, when built, will house the I acuity of Language and Literature.
