For The Good Times

Time is running out for you to catch the exhibition currently mounted by the Campus Museum Committee on the Ground Floor of the Alma Jordan Library. It’s called Time at St. Augustine and it will be open until February 9. The display includes a selection of mainly analogue time-measuring devices used at the Campus in administration, scientific experiments and musical applications. Two vintage clocks stand guard over the exhibition as guardians of time.

Dr. Glenroy Taitt, of the Committee, credits the display to the work of the “Campus Museum Committee, Amy Baksh, our former OJT who conducted the fieldwork, Students of HIST 1901 Introduction to Heritage Studies (Semester I, 2017-2018), and staff of the West Indiana and Special Collections Division of the Alma Jordan Library.”

“Our initial collaboration with the new Heritage Studies programme is consistent with one of our goals: the integration of the Museum into the teaching programmes on the campus,” he said.
