Details
This is the building where all students must go for admissions, awards and the Registrar's office. It also houses offices for several departments in the Arts faculty. Built in 1951, it is easily identified from all over campus by its huge clock tower. The building also houses the Board of Governors and University Senate rooms. Beautifully and traditionally decorated, these rooms are where the portraits of former university presidents watch over their present day counterparts. The university's motto - Ora et Labora (Pray and Work), is inlaid in bronze into the university seal marking the entrance way.
Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
