Rename drive to honour professor

The Lord Mayor (Ald. Chand ler) is considering a suggestion that Coronation Drive, St. Lucia, should be renamed Haw ken Drive, in honour of the late Professor R. W. H. Haw

ken. Coronation Drive at St. Lucia, which leads to the new univer sity, causes confusion because of its nearness to the better known Coronation Drive, run ning beside the river from the city to Toowong. Ald. Chandler said he fav oured the suggestion, and would recommend its adoption to the Administration Board. Professor Hawken, who died on October 18, 1947, was Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Queens land.
