The library is pleased to announce that we have selected a name for the skeleton.

(Drum roll please) … and the winning name is Napoleon Bonaparte.

Napoleon you ask??? Well …Napoleon Bone-a-parte (get it!).

Congratulations to the joint winners, Meg Garven & Alan Wilkins, who both came up with the same name. They will each receive two movie vouchers.

The competition was a huge success, generating a lot of interest amongst staff and students alike.

Further, library staff have also been given an overview on the sex of the skeleton by our knowledgeable anatomy teachers from Health and Recreation Studies. It has been identified as a male. See the link below from the Smithsonian Museum on how to determine if a skeleton is male or female.
