Alumni mementos

The exhibition is arranged into five themed sections: Learning; The Student Experience; Journeys; Treasures; and Solidarity (the latter with a particular focus on Chile under Pinochet, and the Spanish Civil War).

We're delighted to include personal mementos from former students, including a number from Jean Henderson (née Wagstaff), mother of our Rector, Ann Henderson.
