demise. From 1961 to 1990, it was known as Lincoln College, a constituent
college of the University of Canterbury, until achieving autonomy in 1990 as
Lincoln University. It is the oldest agricultural teaching institution in the
Southern Hemisphere. It remains the smallest university in New Zealand.
Its primary campus is located about 15 km away outside the city of Christchurch
in Lincoln, Canterbury. Lincoln is a town in the Canterbury region of the South
