The Peoples University: 100 Years of The University of Queensland

Celebrating 100 years of the peoples university, the University of Queensland To commemorate a century since its establishment in 1910, the University of Queensland and UQP have collaborated on a stylish illustrated book that will be a coveted memento of university life as well as a lively and informative narrative about the universitys rich past and dynamic present. Little-known facts and much-talked-about public triumphs come together in this celebratory publication - from the early challenges around its establishment to its current position as one of the top 50 universities in the world with 50 sites across Queensland and over 40,000 students.- Nobel laureate Peter Doherty, Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush, Governor General Quentin Bryce and novelist David Malouf are among its alumni.- Former Austrlian of the Year Ian Frazer (who discovered the cervical cancer vaccine) heads one of seven research institutes at the current university - a long journey from a century ago when one research laboratory had no sink, so students used buckets for their experiments. Featuring over 130 rare black-and-white images and colour images, The Peoples University makes a wonderful gift or a lively memento of university life.
