CONVOCATION SCHOLAR

"The Warden of Convocation, Mr. Philip Miller, welcomed the Convocation Visiting Scholar, Mr. Athel D'0mbrain, at a lunch in the Staff House on October 23. Athel, well-known naturalist, photographer and freelance journalist from Maitland, has agreed to donate his collections of architectural and natural history photographs, containing several thousands of items, to the University Archives in the Auchmuty Library.   He is currently working with members of staff in the Archives.   Pictured are Mr. Miller, Mr. D'0mbrain and the Vice-Chancellor.   Staff from the Archives were also guests of Mr. Miller."
