This is now the Ken Back Chancellery building. This was followed by the University Hall student residence in 1968," <br /><br />University Hall was open to residents at the beginning of 1967 and housed approximately 99 students for all of 1967. I was a University Hall resident 1967-1969 inclusive. <br /><br />John LeeJohn Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895388179238311919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887985983763105815.post-17639606093785348142020-09-10T20:57:07.613+10:002020-09-10T20:57:07.613+10:00John Lee posted a comment that included another pe...John Lee posted a comment that included another person's email address, and on reflection we thought it probably wasn't best to leave it on this forum. He gave his own as well, so here is his post with the other address removed.

TAFE library staff were very helpful.<br /><br />I'm wondering if there is a contact point for students of that time and if publications such as "Magnus Taurus" are available online?<br />Regards<br />GeorgeGeorge J Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819329091234788914noreply@blogger.com
