WHERE THE HEART IS ‌. From gala dinners to bush-tucker luncheons, from government receptions to college reunions, from highland games to rowing challenges, the first Welcome Home Week to be staged by an Australian university proved to be the crowning week of a year of 125th Anniversary celebrations.
032 — Alumni
A collection of ‘vices’ … The University’s four living Vice-Chancellors came together at the start of Welcome Home Week to tour the partially restored Domain House: from left, Professor Don McNicol (1996-2002); Professor Peter Rathjen (2011-present day); Emeritus Professor Alec Lazenby AO (19821991) and Professor Daryl Le Grew (2003-2010). The empty chair represents the late Professor Alan Gilbert (1991-1995), who melded the University and the Tasmanian State Institute of Technology into the one institution. CHRIS CRERAR
