Convocation Hall on the second floor of the building is an important room in the building, holding guest lectures, exams, and of course — convocation ceremonies.
The interior of the room is lined with glass cases that houses photos of graduating classes, sports teams, and residence members from the transfer of the school to Hamilton. This is not only an important part of the history of McMaster but also important to the history of the city, for it is less likely than now for students to travel too far away from home in order to get an education.
Despite an increase in accessibility to the building, this beautiful taste of history is available for people to see only when the doors to the room are unlocked. I have a bit of an issue with this; I was unable to get any photos of the inside of Convocation Hall because the doors were locked — and I had arrived there at about in the afternoon.
I think so. I think that McMaster should either keep the doors to Convocation Hall unlocked during school hours, or they should move the photos to a hallway — perhaps in the main entrance of the building — for more people to see them. In addition to the photos inside of Convocation Hall, the hallways on the first floor of the building have local art on display.
I think this shows the continued reciprocal relationship between McMaster and its community. By displaying this art in University Hall it reinforces the importance and refreshes the cultural heritage aspect of the building.
The combination of new and old photos shows that University Hall and McMaster University on a larger scale continues to develop itself as a museum. University Hall, both inside and out, is a perfect example of a heritage centre in Hamilton. Despite the minor setback of the inaccessibility of Convocation Hall to the public or students, for that matter on most days, University Hall has done an incredible job of making their building accessible to a vast array of people. An oil industry executive's speech at McMaster University that had raised the ire of some faculty members was briefly interrupted by drum-beating protesters Thursday.
Susan Cunningham, executive vice-president of Noble Energy, had not yet taken the microphone when about 15 protesters noisily crashed into Convocation Hall. They refused to allow organizers to be heard and a tussle broke out when one young woman from the crowd tried to take the drum sticks away from one protester. Audience members booed and shouted for the group to leave before campus security guards arrived.
All left but one, a woman who grabbed the mic and began to read from an open letter to Cunningham. They issued her a citation for failing to leave. She is not a McMaster student and copies of pamphlets left behind by the agitators were not signed.
That is in contrast to an open letter to university president Patrick Deane signed by about people condemning the choice of Cunningham, a Mac geology and geography graduate, as the inaugural speaker in a series organized by a group of faculty and students called Academic Women's Success and Mentorship.
