A day in the life at the University of Pretoria. 16 March 1938

Posted on March 16, 2022

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria" the first four professors of the Theological Faculty were sworn into oath at the Pretoria East church.

In the first year Dr. J. H. Kritzinger, dr. E. P. Groenewald and dr. D. J. Keet lectured the first six students and also designed the new course contents and regulations.

The UPA preserves the history of the University of Pretoria. We have an extensive photo collection and earlier copies of the senate, council and faculty minutes. The volumes of the University’s history captured in Ad Destinatium i-v, as featured here, also forms part of our collection. Please contact us on [email protected] to share your memories of Tukkies or access our collection virtually.
