Talk:Victoria Building, University of Liverpool

Removed material
The following has been removed from the article, which was under the title The Jack Leggate Lecture Theatre. It was unreferenced, too detailed for the context of the rest of the article, and, in some respects, unencyclopaedic.


 * The pride of the Museum will be the Jack Leggate Lecture Theatre where guest speakers will give their talks. Up until 1989 The Leggate was known as 'The Arts Theatre' and had a variety of uses including the holding of smoking and other concerts, Students’ Representative Council (later Guild) meetings, public lectures, student debates, plays and tableaux. At one time it was supposedly adapted with cubicles for job interviews. The Theatre, which seated 450, was still being used for examination purposes in the 1980s.


 * In 1989 The Leggate was renovated with seating from the Old Surgery Lecture Theatre (1904-1989) from the old anatomy and surgery department (now the Whelan Building). These fine pine benches had the graffiti from generations of medical students etched into them, then varnished to preserve them. With the recent renovations to the Museum, the fate of these benches is now uncertain.


 * In 1990 the lecture theatre was reopened and dedicated to Jack Leggate, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine from 1953-1969. His wife Grace unveiled a plaque at a meeting of the Liverpool Medical Students' Society (LMSS) in April 1990. LMSS used this lecture theatre for its regular Thursday meetings for 15 years until renovation work began, but will soon be able use it again for meetings. Jack Leggate was a medical student at Liverpool and always supported LMSS. He attended the 1983 Presidents' Reunion before his death at the age of 80 in 1985. He is remembered in the infamous "Medics' Song".
