Early Monash display at Matheson Library

Published: 12 March 2008

An exhibition of material relating to early Monash is on display on the ground floor of the Matheson Library, Clayton campus.

Among the more interesting items on display are a mug made by Audrey Matheson, the wife of the first Vice-Chancellor, Sir Louis Matheson, from the clay dug up in 1960 when building for Monash first began; and the French champagne bottle from the opening ceremony, with the signatures of the official party.

There are also copies of the first student newspaper, called the "Student Newspaper" and of "Chaos", the original Monash student paper and the first Lot's Wife (24 June 1964).

The display will run until mid-year as a supplement to the 50th anniversary exhibition planned for early May.
