Electronic Engineering staff and students.
Group photograph of students and staff, Electronic Engineering, South Australia Institute of Technology. Sixth from right, standing in the centre, is Head of School David Cox. According to a student who was doing the Electronics Engineering course in 1975, the lecturer that is two from the left of Mr Cox is Mr Broadfoot, and directly in front sitting down is Mr Sweeney. Another lecturer, Mr Brander, is standing fourth from the left of David Cox.
Opening of the $2.3 million Sir Charles Todd Building at 'The Levels'.
Academics attending the opening of Sir Charles Todd building from left to right: David Cox, Mr. Fort, Governor Sir Mark Oliphant, Mr. Denton, Dr. I.S. Evans. On the podium is the morse key used by Sir Charles Todd. [The speech given by Sir Mark Oliphant is reproduced in the 1975 South Australian Institute of Technology Annual Report, pages 49-50.]
Opening of Electronic and Electrical Engineering building by Sir Mark Oliphant.
Left to right: Dr. I. Evans, Mr. Frank Russell, Mr. David Cox (Head of Electronic Engineering Department), Miss Pat Fisher, Mrs Russell, Mr Fort (Head of Electrical Engineering Department), Mr. J. Mount, Sir Mark Oliphant and an unnamed student. The building was named in tribute to Sir Charles Todd, who, in the 1880s, lobbied tirelessly for a centre of technical education in South Australia. He gave strong support for the establishment of the School of Mines and was appointed to its first Council. The Todd family was represented by Miss Pat Fisher who was one of the few surviving members of Charles Todd's family in Australia.
