| dc.description.abstract | The Great Court, the Venue of Uni- ,
versity of Nairobi Graduation Ceremonies
for many years, is gradually
being transformed into a Lunch-time
baraza by both staff and students following
the shifting of Library Servives
to the ultra-Modern Jomo Kenyatta
Memorial Library. For many years
stretching way back in 1956, the Great
Court and the Gandhi Memorial Library
had breathed life into each other.
This symbiotic relationship however
suffered sudden death in 1987when the
new Library was opened. For sometime,
the University Community
feared that the picturesque and evergreen
square, which has hosted 'prominent
scholars, was doomed to oblivion.
Indeed few poeple know that the
"Mugumo" tree which adorn the Court
was planted by the Late Chancellor of
the University of Nairobi His Excellency
Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. | en |
