Prince Philip, Patron of CUEA for 50 years
A
reception was held in the gardens of the Vice Chancellor's residence in Latham
Road, on Monday 23rd June to celebrate the 50th year of Prince Philip as Patron
of the Cambridge University Engineers' Association. The President of the Association,
Viscount Montgomery of Alamein was also present. A sundial based on the CUEA
logo, fashioned in stainless steel and bronze, designed by Dr Peter Long was
manufactured in the Department's Workshop to mark the occasion, and this was
presented to His Royal Highness.
The reception followed a full day for Prince Philip, who had, in the morning,
opened the new Nanotechnology building on the West Cambridge site, as well as
conferring Honorary Degrees at the Senate House. In his speech at the reception,
Prince Philip commented on the valuable role engineers play in society, and
his appreciation at having access to some of the top experts in the field, through
his association with Cambridge.
Membership of the CUEA which is free to all Cambridge graduates associated with
the profession of engineering, now stands in the region of 6100. All members
are entitled to receive free copies of "Enginuity".
Annual Conference
This year's CUEA conference will have a biomedical theme and will be held on
Saturday 27th September to coincide with the University's alumni weekend. These
conferences were instigated in 1965 in the belief that "they would result
not only in the production of new ideas, but also in action which will be of
positive benefit to the national economy."
Speakers will include:
