This is the story of Victoria's 100 years. It considers what makes Victoria distinctive: its early claims to specialisation in law, commerce and political science; its strength in social science pioneeered by professors of the 1930's and 1940's like Tommy Hunter and Earnest Beaglehole; Antarctic research, tuatara, linguistics, creative writing. And of course, the implications of living in the capital city, from the often tense negotiations over the buidling programme to productive town-gown relationships in academic fields as diverse as policy studies, maths and music.. It takes a thematic rather than a strictly chronological approach. The students are here too, Extravs and procesh, their clubs and their clothes, where they lived and what trhey studied.
