A Day in the Life of the University of Pretoria. 13 September 1950

Posted on June 22, 2023

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria" students requested a dedicated bus route to the UP campus..

In a letter addressed to the City Council, the Students Representative Council requested that the Sunnyside municipal bus service be extended to pass the Hatfield Campus. By the early 1970s UP introduced its own campus bus service to assist with transport between its various campuses and residences. This bus service also helped ease the parking problems on the campus.

The University of Pretoria Archives (UPA) preserves the history of the University of Pretoria. The UPA has an extensive photo collection and clipping collection. Please contact us on [email protected] to share your memories of Tukkies or to access our collection.
