ABOUT
Prepared in commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the opening of the College in 1880.
This is a curated portrait of daily life at the institution that would later become Lincoln University, capturing its formative decades as a centre of agricultural training and research. Blair assembles recollections, photographs, and institutional records to show how students and staff lived, studied, and worked within a close knit rural campus.
The book highlights traditions, fieldwork, social life, and the practical routines that shaped generations of agriculturalists. It offers both a historical record and a cultural snapshot, preserving the character of a college that blended academic instruction with hands on farming experience at the heart of Canterbury's rural landscape.
Includes monochrome images.
