At a Glance<br />
THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw the opening of Lincoln College<br />
on <strong>July</strong> 19, 1880. It was the first agricultural college in the<br />
Southern Hemisphere. On <strong>July</strong> 19, 1988, Jock Orr, nicknamed<br />
‘<strong>The</strong> Birdman’ after befriending birds in Cathedral Square,<br />
died. On <strong>July</strong> 20, 1851, the first church in Christchurch<br />
opened – later dedicated as St Michael and All Angels in<br />
1859. On <strong>July</strong> 20, 1983, Canterbury defeated North Otago<br />
88-0 in a record Ranfurly Shield score at Lancaster Park.<br />
After heavy snow (175mm) on <strong>July</strong> 22, 1918, Christchurch<br />
experienced its coldest day on record. <strong>The</strong> temperature didn’t<br />
rise above 1 deg C. On <strong>July</strong> 23, 1851, pioneer William Deans<br />
was among 28 lost in the wreck of the Maria in Cook Strait.<br />

BIRD SONG<br />
Contractors restoring the historic Sign<br />
of the Kiwi building have come across<br />
an unexpected find. <strong>The</strong> contractors<br />
were working on the roof when they<br />
uncovered a message on its lining<br />
which read: ‘If we had of known you<br />
were coming we’d of baked a cake.’<br />
<strong>The</strong> lyrics come from a 1950s Eileen<br />
Barton song. <strong>The</strong> city council says<br />
it is likely the message was written<br />
by tradies when they worked on the<br />
building in the 1950s.<br />
