Calabar Launches Centenary Lecture Series
Kingston, February 11, 2012 — As part of the activities marking the 100th anniversary of Calabar High School being observed this year, the Centenary Celebrations Committee as stage the first in a series of public lectures on Monday, February 20, 2012, at the Pegasus Hotel, New Kingston starting at 6.00PM. The inaugural lecture to focus on Calabar’s contribution to the religious life of the nation had been delivered by theology scholar and old boy the Rev. Dr. Horace Russell.
