Cherished memories of UG

Dec 29, 2013 Letters

 

 
Dear Editor,
University of Guyana has proudly shaped the lives of thousands of students who are standing tall in their various professional pursuits.
As a student of the seventies, permit me, in my nostalgia, to mention lecturers such as Professor Bill Carr, Dr. Halvidar Singh, Dr. Bhagirat Persaud, Mrs. Pat Persaud, Dr. Winston Mc Gowan and Dr. Fred Sukdeo among others, who lived and breathed the university. It was with quite some surprise that at the recent 50th Anniversary celebrations, no mention was made of Dr. Fred Sukdeo, one of the few surviving lecturers who taught at the then Queens College “Jagan Night School” in 1963, marking the founding of the university of Guyana, under the stewardship of world renowned professor Lancelot Hogben.
Dr. Fred Sukdeo moved on to Turkeyen Campus where he and his wife Dr. Iris Sukdeo, held senior positions for over 25 Years.
Nevertheless, mistakes are a hallmark for even the learned. An historic commemoration of UG 2013 has duly marked memories of which will always be cherished. Thanks to the vision of Dr. Cheddi Jagan.
Vive. UG
 (Former Student 1973-1976)
