Higher Education?

February 8th, 2008 |

I read in todays Ev.Chronicle (Newcastle’s night-time ‘paper) that the Mayor of Wallsend, Coun.John Harrison, has had thoughts of building a university on the riverside of the Tyne. (I presume to hide the fact that the iconic cranes from Swan Hunters have been sold to some chap in India).

I do hope that if this project comes off that they will think about what to call the campus as a few years ago the Newcastle Poly-Tech was given Uni status and decided to call itself the Combined University (of) Newcastle (upon) Tyne. – They even got the logo done of the acronym – but settled for Northumbria University

Hopefully they won’t settle on Wallsend And Newcastle Centre (for) Knowledge, Education, Retailing (and) Schooling… but if they do it would be a great logo :)
