Our Girls from the ’60s
Pioneer students
The year was 1985. Queen Elizabeth II,
formally known as the Visitor to The UWI according to Article Six of the
1972 Royal Charter, was paying a visit to the Campus, and the red carpet was laid out for her to exercise her Royal
right to
“inspect the University, its buildings, laboratories and general work, equipment and also the examination,
teaching and other activities of the University.”
It was the year when the transition was made for Acting Principal
Maxwell Richards
to become Principal of the St. Augustine Campus. A rather slender looking Principal Richards is
at her side, while immediately behind them from left was the first President of the Republic,
Sir Ellis Clarke
, and the
Vice-Chancellor of The UWI,
Aston Zachariah Preston
, who held the position from 1974, until his death in 1986.
