Representatives of the UQ Senate, staff and students gathered at short notice in March 1954 to catch a glimpse of Prince Philip, as the Duke of Edinburgh made a whirlwind tour of the St Lucia campus. The informal UQ visit was a late addition to the 1954 royal tour of Australia, during which Prince Philip joined Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, on her first tour of Australia as British monarch. Prince Philip arrived at UQ shortly after 6 pm on 17 March and spent about one-and-a-half hours at the University, where he was received by Queensland Deputy Premier John Duggan, Chancellor Dr. Otto Hirschfeld, and Vice-Chancellor John Story AO. The Duke was then escorted to the John Darnell Art Gallery, where he was presented with a souvenir of bound photographs of UQ buildings, before moving to the library, where he met and greeted about 50 student union representatives. The visit concluded with a stroll through the Great Court cloisters to the Geology building, where Prince Philip stopped to admire a collection of minerals, murals, and seismographs Source: alumni.uq.edu.au/contact-magazine/article/2021/04/remembe... The photo may not be related to this article, yet it was just in addition to describing some details of the Royal visit to Queensland.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The White House & U.S. Presidents, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

In fifth grade, I remember watching Clinton's first inauguration speech in my history class. My teacher, Mr. Fry, said, "Look at his hair. It will be white in two years."

There's a Miss Emily Randolph of Philadelphia mentioned in New York Times articles dated 1910 and 1911, she's a 'society woman' who apparently excelled at playing polo.

Yes, she was my grandmother; a great athlete, and a fine artist.

Bonjour, je suis un administrateur du groupe 30's "ART DECO period", et nous aimerions beaucoup que vous ajoutiez votre photo à notre groupe.
