Alexander Petrie

A portrait of Petrie by Rosa Hope was hung in the council chamber of the university on the Pietermaritzburg campus, it was later removed, as Petrie had not been a Chancellor of the University, and it now hangs in the lecture theatre nearest the Classics department on the Pietermaritzburg campus.

Edgar Brookes dedicated his book A History of the University of Natal (1967) to Petrie.
