new guinea's university gets going

p. 39 · Read in the full issue

This is the type of country in which Papua-New Guinea’s new university will grow, and these are some of the buildings which will house its students and staff.

First lectures of the preliminary year started in March, in tem porary quarters. By next year students will move into these brand new quarters now going up at a great pace (at a total cost of $2 million) in the June Valley area. These buildings, in concrete block, are in fact part of the new P-NG Administra tive College, but they will serve the university for some years until the university’s own build ings are erected on a nearby area of virgin bush. Roads, sewerage and all amenities are going into the new campus.
