University of Madras to mark 170th anniversary with display of Ramanujan’s notebook, archives
CHENNAI: From Srinivasa Ramanujan’s genius to Senate history, the University of Madras (UoM) will mark its entry into its 170th year on Saturday by soon showcasing the legendary mathematician’s handwritten notebook and the varsity’s rare archives in a special exhibit as part of its celebrations.
University officials are currently scrutinising the repository to identify significant records that can be showcased.
The exhibition is part of ‘UoM–Legacy 170’, a series of programmes planned to commemorate the university’s historic milestone. The celebrations will coincide with Teachers’ Day, observed on September 5 to mark the birth anniversary of former president and philosopher Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who is an alumnus of UoM.
