Sir Allan Wright, Chancellor, Lincoln University, 1990 - 1994
What's in a name?
Wright, the fifth neighbourhood at Te Whāriki is named after the first Chancellor of Lincoln University, Sir Allan Wright.
Sir Allan, originally of Sheffield, Selwyn had long been an advocate of independence for Lincoln, which was previously a constituent college of the University of Canterbury. He also had a distinguished career as a farmer, a politician, and a businessman. He ran a mixed arable farm near Sheffield from 1946, winning the A.C. Cameron Royal Agricultural Society Gold Medal in 1973 for excellence in farming.
Sir Allan and Lady Wright remain loyally associated with Lincoln University, not only by their past service but through family members who have taken the Wright connection with the university into the second and third generations.
