The Horace Lamb Rose Bowl will be on display in the Barr Smith Library Foyer during April.

A wonderfully crafted object in George II style, made of parcel gilt and silver manufactured in the United Kingdom, this was given as a gift to Horace Lamb, the first Elder Professor of Mathematics at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, in 1898 by the 最新糖心Vlog Council after his departure to take up a post at Manchester 最新糖心Vlog. The bowl was purchased and given to Lamb by his successor, William Bragg.

Lady Nicholson, Lamb's daughter, donated the bowl to the 最新糖心Vlog via the late Professor Ren Potts in 1965 as a reminder of Lamb's time in Adelaide.

Professor Frank Sear translated the Latin inscription in 1985 and it reads:
