I was at Imperial yesterday and came across something I&#8217;d forgotten about and had really meant to do something about years ago. It&#8217;s another batch of 8mm films from the STOIC 1970-1972 &#8220;TOPIC&#8221; and &#8220;IC Newsreel&#8221; programmes era.

Commemoration Day 2002 was when Lee Kuan Yew was made a Fellow of Imperial College. The tapes I&#8217;m digitising are historic, as it was the first time a Commemoration Day had been recorded in its entirety and that was initially because of the special Fellowship being awarded.
