Auckland University's ClockTower turns 100!

It's a landmark day at Auckland University, and "landmark" is a fitting word as they're celebrating the centenary of their iconic ClockTower. The tower is now registered as a Category 1 historic place. It's been the backdrop for all the balls, graduations, cap-tossings, and now its history is featured in an exhibition. It's called 'Standing tall: a century of the ClockTower', and it's running now at the university library until late June. William Hamill is Team Leader of He Mara Mahara Cultural Collections at the University of Auckland.
