Date Created: 
Feb-70
Description: 
A section of the wave of student graffiti which hit the Manchester University campus at the end of 1969 and the beginning of 1970 and formed part of the student protests at the prospective appointment of Arthur Armitage to the role of University Vice Chancellor in succession to the retiring Mansfield Cooper and what they perceived as the un-democratic and opaque process by which the position was filled; Taken from a position in the middle of the road along Dover St the shot is angled southwards towards a section of the outer wall of the older wing of the Economics and Social Studies building. Along the wall just beneath the large ground floor windows the following slogan has been crudely daubed in white paint 'No Dossiers for a Democratic University Thurs Feb 26' the date referring to a meeting of the Universities student body. Written on the reverse of the image is 'Economics Dover St'.
