Two speakers this week will talk about the history of the University of Queensland's St Lucia campus. Speakers at the Royal Queensland Historical Society in the City will talk about the history of the Forgan Smith building (pictured), and how the University moved from the City to St Lucia, where it is now.
Professor Clive Moore will talk about the history of the Forgan Smith building, which is part of the University's Great Court, on Wednesday April 14 at 12.30pm. On Thursday April 15th at 6pm, historian Peter Brown will talk about how and why the University moved to St Lucia in 1950, and the struggle to get it there.
