An ‘ornament of the city’ for all to see!

BY A STAFF REPORTER | Thursday, January 18, 2007 10:56:28 IST
The book on the University of Bombay is a photographic feast to the architectural eye

In 2007 the University of Mumbai completes 150 years. For six months prior to the big day a team of 13 worked for six months to compile a tribute: a tribute to the year 1857. The year 1857 is best remembered as the year of the Sepoy Mutiny - our first battle for independence. 'University of Mumbai: Ornament of the City' reminds us that the year also saw the birth of three universities in Mumbai, Kolkata and Madras. The book is a photographic feast to the architectural eye.
