Baroness Platt of Writtle, President of the Cambridge University Engineers Association (CUEA) 1987-2001, was recently presented with a gift by Professor David Newland to mark her retirement in September this year.
He visited her at home to present an antique print of the Senate House and King's college chapel dated 1795, on behalf of the Association of which he is Chairman.
