Time Capsule opening
June 23
Join us as Memorial University opens a historic time capsule sealed within the cornerstone of the St. John's campus more than 70 years ago.
As Memorial celebrates its 100th Anniversary and The Muse marks its 75th Anniversary, we invite students, alumni, faculty, staff, retirees, and friends of the university to uncover a remarkable piece of our shared history.
In 1952, as plans for a new campus began to take shape, members of the Memorial community placed newspapers and a copy of The Muse inside the cornerstone, preserving a snapshot of university life and the aspirations of a generation.
More than seven decades after the cornerstone was laid, and 75 years after The Muse first began chronicling student life at Memorial, we will finally reveal the contents of this time capsule and explore the stories they tell about our university's past.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to witness history come to life and be part of a celebration connecting Memorial's past, present, and future.
Location: at the cornerstone of the Arts & Administration Building (near the main front entrance)
Time: 12 p.m.
