The first graduate courses started only in 1987. One recalls with satisfaction, however, that Professor Temi Zammit, the distinguished Maltese archaeologist, was Rector of the Royal University of Malta between 1920 and 1926, and that for a short period, in the years 1938-1939, John Ward Perkins, then at the beginning of his brilliant and influential career, was appointed Professor of Archaeology. Furthermore, John Evan's work on the prehistoric antiquities of the Maltese islands in the fifties, published in his widely read Malta ( 1959) and his monumental Survey ( 1971 ), was monitored by a Committee set up to administer a grant made available to the Royal "university by the Inter-University Council for Higher Education Overseas and chaired by the then Rector, Professor J. Manche. 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z
