A day in the life at the University of Pretoria. 24 June 1920

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria" the first professor in the newly formed Faculty of Veterinary science was appointed.

Prof. P.R. Viljoen was first appointed as professor in Veterinary Science in the T.U.C (Transvaal University College) Agriculture Faculty in 1918. On 24 June 1920 he took up the role as Anatomy professor in the new faculty.
