taken root, and is growing strong and thriving in the new position.

The Head Master has himself been transplanted not so many years ago from the old country, and is the main factor in the work of the School, which under his control is proving very successful. The southern and northern hemispheres are entirely different places, but the Head Master is accustoming himself in the new conditions, and is gradually bringing in English ways. The School is going or in the best way possible, and Mr. Brown is the right man in the right place. Lieut.-Colonel Garrard, who has been with us for many years, is leaving the School after Christmas. He has done much for the School, but he has seen fit to place his services at the disposal of the military authorities.

The war is still in progress and Colonel Garrard wishes tc give all his energies to his King and Country.

As an elderly man he is showing up many younger men by the patriotic action he is taking. Mr. Edward A. Austin, the oldest member of the School Council, is taking Colonel Garrard's place. He is taking up the work out of love for the School. In Mr. Austin the Council have a man of whom they can well feel proud.

About twelve boys are leaving the School to join the Imperial forces. They a-e so eager to go to the front that they are foregoing their holidays, and arc to sail at once. To those about to leave, and to those who have gone we wish God speed.

Two members of the School Council, Mr. John Turnbull and Capt.

Percy Chirnside, are already at the front.

T H E GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S

SPEECH.

After the Head Master had read his statement and before distributing the prizes His Excellency addressing the School said:—It gives great pleasure to Lady Ferguson and myself to find ourselves on this interesting occasion in the midst of the boys of this school and their friends. It would perhaps be difficult to find a school situated in more attractive surroundings.

In its new home it continues the traditions which gave to the old School a great name in the Commonwealth.

It has been a great pleasure to hear the Head Master's address. Head

Masters have often made for themselves great names and for various reasons. So far as I can judge, some of the most popular Heads in England were those who used the birch most freely. I heard only a few days ago from a friend of mine, who is nursing at the Australian Hos;>'tal in Cairo, that the men there are splendid, and that there is not a single one who does not want to get back to the front—even the most severely wounded. The nurse remarked that she had seen' nothing like them, but it would have saved her a lot of trouble if their mothers had spanked them well in the nursery. The Head Master told you of the difficulty of learning the truth in Germany.

I remember asking a German why they sent so many >oung people to England to be educated. Stamping on the ground, the German said, the young people are sent to England to learn to stand on their own feet. This is what is taught in the Public Schools of England, whose traditions are being carried on here. The great English Public Schools have been wonderfully successful in turning out men of character, men who have learned to tell the truth, and men who are fit to lead others.

The war has given us a new standard of duty.

The splendid mannci in which the School has responded to the call of the Country has been told to us. It is a fine record, and no service could have HiOre fittingly inaugurated the new School Chapel than the service for the gallant dead. It is a record which will never be forgotten by the School nor by Australia.

After the war there will be scope for this new and heightened standard of duty, whether in commerce, in working the land, in defence, or in the public service.

There will be scope for all who are educated here, to raise the standard of duty still higher, for the good of Australia and of their fellow-men. Side by side with their kith and kin overseas they have fought bravely, and are enrolled among the brotherhood.

That is the spirit that is animating Australia now, and it is for those trained here—for you and your successors—to carry it out for generations to come.

I have had the pleasure of seeing King's School at Paramatta, and the Duntroon Military College,

and I am glad to see the extent to which the best system of education has taken hold of the best minds in Australia, and the active means ta.ken to bring it to perfection. It has given me unfeigned pleasure and satisfaction to see the determination with which the governing bodies in Australia have set about the work of creating schools here.

This was never more needed than now. The strain of the war is great. It is only a supreme sense of duty and selfsacrifice that can carry us through the war to success.

W e have to secure complete victory, nothing short uf this will be worth fighting for. The war cannot properly end until the power which has pursued the policy of aggression and the most unscrupulous and brutal methods is humbled to the dust and rendered powerless for future ill. (Loud applause). This will not be accomplished by words, but by war—by blood and iron. The same spirit of strenuous life, even unto death, is the spirit which has to animate us after the war is over, and in the days to come, in every branch of public service, and in every sphere of public endeavour.

It is those who are trained as boys are trained in schools like this who will be needed, and who will go to the front and work out the salvation of the country.

One of the gravest responsibilities laid on those who manage schools like this is to bring their boys to such a state of fitness as to be able to take part in international competition, and to make as far as it is possible to do so, our own country the first in the world. This is the spirit you must cultivate in your school, and it will help to lead Australia to greatness.

His Excellency then distributed the prizes, and Lady Munro Ferguson the medals for athletic sports.

HEAD MASTER'S STATEMENT. In looking back upon the past year, I am glad to be able to report that, in spite of the serious effects of the war and drought, the School has gone forward in numbers.

Whilst the number of day scholars remained practically unaltered, a large influx of new boys at the beginning of the year (the largest entry in the history of the school, I am told) brought the

May'16

THE CORIAN

5

number of our boarders to over 190. Thus during the first two years of the School's life in its new surroundings, and in the face of adverse conditions, the number of boarders has been nearly doubled.

If I mistake not, the Geelong Grammar School can now claim to have a larger number of boarders than any other public school in Australia. It is a fact which should give reassurance to those who viewed with gloomy fears and grave forebodings the council's great enterprise in moving from the old buildings to the present site. This increase is particularly noticeable in the Junior House, which began last year with less than 20 boys, but is now well over 40, and is full to overflowing.

It bears testimony to the excellent manner in which the House is being carried on, in spite of the difficulties and inconveniences resulting from the present position.

A separate building for the Junior House is urgently needed, and should be the first thing to be taken in hand when times once more become prosperous.

But I do not put implicit faith in numbers.

Numbers are an indication of the prosperity of a school, a test of public confidence, perhaps, but they are not an infallible test of true progress.

There are matters of far greater importance than increase in numbers—the tone of the school, the character of the boys, their moral, mental and physical development.

And judged by these .higher standards, I am confident that the School has made substantial progress during the past year.

The tone of the School is clean and wholesome and strong ; the boys are keen on everything connected with the School, making their houses a success, working steadily and playing hard. The true test of the success of a school is not by its achievements in work or in games, but in the quality of the men st sends forth.

A German parent was once heard to say that he wanted his boy educated in England because there he would learn to tell the truth, which he would never learn in Germany, and because he would learn not to be a bully, which also he would never learn in Germany. At our public schools here and at home boys learn to be truthful, straightforward, honorable, public sp*rited—if not, the school has failed, whatever else might be learnt. And I think we may fairly claim

6

THE CORIAN

May'16

that in her quiet unobtrusive way the Geelong Grammar School is training and sending forth her quota of such men into the life of this great Commonwealth.

We have just finished our Christmas examinations, and what I have seen of the rcstilts enables me to speak with satisfaction of the progress which the boys are making in their studies.

At the last Junior Public Examinations of the University of Melbourne, certificates were obtained

by C. K. Botterill, F. P. Brett, A. W. Chisholm, H. F. C. Hallowes, M. N. S. lackson, L. Morton, G. O. O'Ffara, C. G. B. Parker, F. S. Plowman, S. Plowman, R. R. Russell, A. R. Thomson, and C. H. White (six of whom completed necessary subjects), lunior commercial certificates were obtained by *X. F. H. Bcggs, A. C. \V. Fisken and C. M. Lloyd.

Four other boys passed in four or more subjects.

At the Senior Public Examinations the following qualified for matriculation : F. H. Mair, D. C. Black (both of whom passed the complete senior public examination), A. N. Vines (who passed in four subjects), C. E. G. Beveridge, I. S. Black, H. C. Brisbane, J. T. Mills and R. Simson.

H. C. Furnell, R. L. Michaelis and K. C. Webb-Ware, who qualified for matriculation last year, passed in the necessary additional subjects and completed their certificates.

In the same examination A.. C. W. Fisken obtained second class honours in history, J. S. Cook third class honours in chemistry, and J. V. McNair third class honours in Latin.

Six others passed a portion of the Senior Public Examination.

The Senior Public Examination results show a marked improvement on those of last year, and indicate that the advance in the standard of work in the upper school is being well maintained.

At the beginning of the year J. V. McNair was awarded the John and Archibald Paton Scholarship (of the annual value of ÂŁ60) at Ormond College.

The Mary Armytage Scholarship, one of our School leaving scholarships, has been won by H. G. Furnell.

This scholarship is of the annual value of ÂŁ 4 0 for three years, and is tenable at Trinity College, Melbourne. F. H. S. Mair has won an open minor resident scholarship, and C. R. T. Thomas an exhibition at the same college.

In the examination recently held for school scholarships, which are open to candidates under 14 years of age, from this as well as other schools, three of our boys were successful.

1. G. W. Ashton won for the second time the scholarship of 90 guineas per annum, limited to sons of clergy ; W. O. Fairfax gained one of the two open scholarships of 45 guineas per annum, and D. G. Mack an exhibition of 20 guineas per annum.

All these scholarships are tenable for four years.

There are one or two changes in the staff of the School to be recorded. At the beginning of the year we were joined by Mr. G. A. Hancock, M.A., late lecturer at St. Stephen's College, Hong Kong University, and Mr. E. C. H. Taylor, an old boy of the School, who has had experience as a schoolmaster at Queen's School, Adelaide, and Barker College, N.S.W. Mr. C. H. Brewer, who joined the staff at the beginning of last year, has felt it his duty to resign his position as senior science master with the intention of offering himself for active service al the end of the year.

I lis departure will be a real loss to the School, particularly to Manifold House, where he has done valuable work as house tutor.

The announcement of the resignation of Lieut. Col. (iarrard has been received with much regret. By his zeal and devotion to the welfare of the School, extending over the long period of 33 years, he has left an enduring mark upon it.

The School development scheme, with which his name will always be associated, owes much to his energy and foresight.

The best wishes of all, masters and boys, both past and present, will go with him and Mrs. Garrard.

Only a passing notice can be given to the games of the School.

Judged by the results of the matches with the other public schools, our cricket and football teams were probably the best we have had for several years. Of the five cricket matches we have won four, and divide the honors of the premiership with Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College.

After patiently suffering defeat for some three years, the School has won three out of the five football matches and has gained the second place in the Public Schools' competition.

Unfortunately, we failed to retain the

THE CORIAN

Fairbairn Head of the River Cup this year.

In our heat with Melbourne (irimmar School on the Friday we won by a length, after a good race, but we were beaten in the final on the following day, and the cup has gone to Wesley College (who have held it for the last seven years out of eight). But our successes have not been confined to the first teams, although, doubtless, their performances have been a stimulus to the rank and file. Our junior teams have measured their strength against corresponding teams of other schools with most satisfactory results. There is a gratifying improvement in the games generally, and many of the younger boys show distinct promise.

But the most pleasing feature is the keenness and enthusiasm displayed. The shirker is fast disappearing, if he has not quite ceased to exist. Practically every boy takes his part regularly in the games of the school, and on most afternoons our large playing grounds are taxed to their utmost capacity. This satisfactory result is due very largely to the untiring efforts of my colleagues, and 1 take this opportunity of thanking them for their valuable help in this as in all other departments of our school life.

The great event of the year has been the Consecration of the School Chapel. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs V. S. Falkiner on the 3rd of April last year, but owing to a variety of causes the work of building proceeded slowly. But at hist the Chapel has been finished, and it will stand, please (iod, for centuries the centre of the School's religious life, enriched with the affection of those who bear her name and exhibit her spirit in the various fields of life. To the donors of the Chapel, and to those who made gifts for furnishing it, we owe a great debt. By their generosity the boys of this school have been given a beautiful chapel in which to worship. It will be their care to see that their character corresponds to the beauty of the building. Here, as the years go by, I trust that successive generations of Geelong Grammarians will grow more and more to love their faith and to find it beautiful. Here, I trust, they will find their outlook widening and their sympathies broadening as they learn more of the mind of the Master, and are filled with a larger measure of the spirit of love and service.

A Memorial Service for our Old Boys who have fallen in the war was held in the Chapel immediately after the Consecration. Fifteen Old Geelong Grammarians—Sydney James Campbell, Reginald Carr, Donald Louis Forrest, Oscar Donald Humfray Hassell, Edward Percival Hendy, George James Kelly, Clement Lane, Grant Moritz Michaelis, George Hebden Raleigh, Kenneth M'George Ronald, Eoin Lindsay Smith, James Campbell Telford, Arthur John Newman Tremearne, Edmund Reginald Whitteron, and Roy Willan—have laid down their lives in the service of their country, and it was fitting that such a service should be the first to be held in the School Chapel after the Dedication.

On the following day the Archbishop held a Confirmation in the Chapel, at which 33 boys of the School were confirmed.

Two gifts to the School Chapel—a Prayer Desk and a Lectern, both in blackwood—deserve special mention. The Prayer Desk is for the Sanctuary, and has been presented by the boys of Melbourne Grammar School. It is a gift which we greatly appreciate as a pledge of friendship from our sister school. The Lectern, for which the boys of our own school have subscribed over £40, should be ready early next term.

When we realise how small in the past the numbers of the school have been, we have just cause to be proud that fully 200 Old Geelong Grammarians have gone forth to serve their King and Country. Of these IS have laid down their lives, more than 30 have been wounded, and many have been invalided. Whilst the school mourns the loss of her brave sons, she rejoices in the magnificent spirit of patriotism and self-sacrifice which sent them forth to the service of the Empire in this time of sore need, and she will ever hold in reverence the memory of those who gave all they had, laying down lives so full of promise for the great cause for which we are contending.

These laid the world away; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to'be Of work and joy.

The present boys, I think, realise that they have a responsibility, as well as those who are fighting, and

10

THE CORIAN

May'16

they are endeavouring to do their share in shouldering the burden which is laid upon the Empire. Out of their pocket-money they have made regular contributions, amounting since the beginning of the year to over ÂŁ100, to the Belgian and Red Cross Funds, and in many other ways they have given to the support of Patriotic Funds. At the request of the boys themselves, bronze medals are being given as sports prizes instead of the usual more expensive prizes, the balance going to the Red Cross. Some time ago the senior prefect organised a system of correspondence, by which senior boys of the School correspond with Old Boys at the front, so that each Old Geelong Grammarian receives a letter from the School each month, and-he knows that the School does not forget her sons who are fighting the battles of their country.

The School is now represented in the war not only

by Old Boys, but by former masters and by members of the Council. And in a short time not a few of our present boys will have volunteered for active service.

1 understand that twelve of those who arc leaving arc about to enlist, cither here or in England. Of these the majority are School prefects. It is an interesting fact that every one of our prefects of recent years has volunteered for active service. Those who are about to enlist are not doing so from mere love of adventure or on the wave of popular enthusiasm, but simply and solely from a sense of duty. They have counted the cost, they realise to some extent at least what modern warfare means, but they have heard the call of their country, and they cannot stay.

I t should not be necessary for them to go. Though strong, some are too young, and want a year or more yet before they are sufficiently set to endure a hard campaign.

At the end of that time they would be of far more value to their country. It would not be necessary if there were some organised system for military service during the war, instead of the haphazard methods which now obtain.

But under the present conditions they feel that it is incumbent upon them to go, and the School sends them forth with pride, and with sure confidence that they will do their duty to their country, as in the past they have done their duty to their school.

JAMES

LAWRENCE

WILSON,

M.A.,

LL.B.

Born 1857; Died 21st Dec. 1915.

Aged 58 years.

We regret to announce the death of two of our old boys, natives of Geelong, who were contemporaries at the School, and in the same form, and who by a singular coincidence passed away on the same day.

Dr. T. S. Hall was one of the most distinguished members of the School. For 29 years he was lecturer and demonstrator in biology at the University.

He had been seriously ill for several months, and his death, which took place at his home at Camberwell, on the 21st of December, was not unexpected.

For the account of Dr. Hall's career, which we give below, we are indebted to an appreciative review of his life, contributed by his colleague, Professor W.. Baldwin Spencer, to the " Victorian Naturalist."

James Lawrence Wilson, who died quite suddenly from heart failure, while waiting for the train at Sandringham railway station, on the morning of the 21st of December, was born at Geelong in 1857, and came to the School in 1871 as an exhibitioner from the Flinders National School, Geelong.

H e afterwards graduated at the Melbourne University. He was for many years an assistant master at Toorak College, and afterwards at Cumloden.

In 1902 he began to practise as an accountant and auditor in Melbourne,

22

T H E CORIAN

where he was well known. He was unmarried, and for the last five years had lived at the Royal Golf Club House, at Sandringham.

Thomas Sergeant Hall was born in Geelong.

He entered the Geelong Grammar School in 1867 and remained there as a day boy until the close of 1877. He entered fully into the life and work of the School and also took a prominent part in its sports.

He is described in the " Quarterly " of 1877 as " the fastest man with the ball in the twenty." During his life at School he spent much time in exploring the rocks along the shores of Corio Bay, or up the Moorabool Valley, laying in a stock of knowledge and experience that stood him and others in good stead in later years.

In 1879 he accepted a mastership in Wesley College, which he held for two years, at the same time attending lectures at the University.

In 1884 and 1885 he held exhibitions at Orinond College, and in 1885 took the degree of B.A. with honours in Natural Science. In 1887, he was teaching at Girton College, Bendigo, and during the three following years he was back at the University, working in the new physical and biological laboratories.

He devoted himself especially to biology, passing through the , complete three years' course. In 1889 he took a prominent part in founding the University Science Club. From 1890 to 1893 he was Director of the Castlemaine School of Mines. While at Castlemainc he married and there his eldest son was born, who is now serving •' somewhere" at the front. In 1893 he succeeded Dr. Dendy, as Lecturer on Biology at the Melbourne University, a post that he held until his death. In recognition of his valuable work in Natural Science, he was honoured in 1908 by the University with the degree of D.Sc. In 1888 he joined the Field Naturalists' Club, and in 1890 the Royal Society of Victoria.

Into the work of both of these he entered with enthusiasm.

He now devoted a large amount of time to research, specializing on the Palaeontological side of his subject.

In 1891 he published his first paper on Graptolites. It was in recognition of his work on this subject that in 1901 the Geological Society of London honoured him with this award:—"The balance of the proceeds of the Murchison Geological Fund is awarded to Mr. Thomas Sergeant Hall in recognition of the value of his researches amongst the graptolites and other invertebrate fossils of Australia, and to aid him in the further study of the palaeontology of the Southern Hemisphere."

He became a member of the Council of the Royal Society, and did yeoman service for it. From 1899 to 1914 he was honorary secretary, editing the publications and

May'16

T H E CORIAN

23

taking the leading part in all work connected with it (besides contributing himself to the Society some 29 papers).

In 1914 and 1915 he was elected President.

To the work of the Australasian Advancement of Science he devoted much time and energy. He edited the > Proceedings of the Melbourne meetings in 1900 and 1913. ' During the recent visit of the British Association in 1914, he was local Secretary of the Zoological Section, and his wide knowledge of Australian zoology and geology enabled him to be of great service to many of the overseas members.

To readers of the " Argus " and " Australasian " he was well known, under the name of " Physicus." He contributed the column of Science Notes to the latter for many years, and in 1905-6 he published a series of popular geological articles in the former. These he" brought together and published in 1909, under the title of " Victorian Hill and Dale." He was keenly interested in all that referred to the fauna of Australia, and took a leading part in securing the reservation of Wilson's Promontory as a National Park.

It was evident to those who saw him during the last few months of the past year that the end must come soon.

There were times when he seemed to rally, but gradually, week after week, he became feebler, until on the 21st of December the end came.

There are among us not a few to whom he was "guide, philosopher and friend."

He was entirely unselfish, always ready to help, and he leaves behind him the record of a man who not only did good work himself, but helped and inspired others to do the same."

. Cricket At Christmas we lost five members of the Eleven— C. R. Botterill (captain), B. B. Mackinnon (vicecaptain), A. C. W. Fisken, G. P. Kay, and T. C. Manifold, all of whom are now in England under training for the war. As Shannon and Manifold were invalided last term, we had to find only three additions to the team. These were—E. A. McKewan (who has filled Botterill's place as wicket-keeper very creditably), G. M. Maslin, and H. Gilchrist.

All three have fully justified their inclusion.

Of the three Public School matches we won two rather easily, beating Geelong College by an innings and 116 runs, and Scotch College by an innings and 78 runs. The third, against Xavier, was a close and exciting match from start to finish, ending in our favour (at five minutes to six) by IS runs.

Against Geelong College, Bailey made 193 runs (including 24 fours) when he was run out by a smart piece of fielding; while Gilchrist (it was his first match) played a fine defensive innings of 64 not out— a partnership of 201, which enabled Bailey to add 143 runs to his score. In this match Bailey took altogether 9 wickets for 45, and of these, 6 for 24 in the second innings (immediately after compiling his big score)— quite a remarkable performance.

If Bailey may be called the hero of the College match, N. Armytage can claim a similar distinction against Scotch. He played a brilliant forcing innings for 123 (including 19 fours) and FitzNead supported him in a sound steady and attractive innings for 98 (in which he showed both good defence and fine strokes on both sides of the wicket)—a partnership of 170 runs. Of the Scotch wickets, Armytage took 7 for 50 (a first-class bit of woik).

Against Xavier we batted first and made 179 (Bailey 38 was the highest score). Xavier replied with 146, leaving us a useful lead on the first innings of 33 runs. In our second innings we made 198 (Bailey 73, McFarlane 55). This left Xavier 232 runs to, make to win. At one time it looked as if they would do it. But FitzNead with his first slow ball disposed of Hood, who hit wicket when he had

MATCHES.

We have had a successful season, and the standard of the cricket has been distinctly good. It has been found necessary to divide the colts into two divisions for the purpose of coaching. There have been good attendances at bat drill after morning school on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Apart from the House Matches and the games between the various flats, the following outside matches have been played:— UNDER SIXTEEN. v. Melbourne Grammar School. Won by 2 wickets and 7 runs. M.G.S., 221; School, 8 wickets for 228.

JUNIOR HOUSE BASEBALL. After their regatta the Junior House filled in the time before the holidays with baseball, which was played under the Junior League ruleS. Many keenly contested games were played and the boys improved rapidly. A challenge was received from the Girls' Grammar School at Geelong and a most interesting match was played against them, on Saturday, April 29th.

The Junior House batted first and made 3, and the girls replied with 15, but from this onwards the boys steadily improved their position but were unable to overtake their oponcnts, who won by 6 rounders; the scores being 27 to 21. We hope to play regular matches in the future, as the game cannot fail to improve the fielding and general smartness of the cricket team. The team was as follows:—Carlyon ii. (captain), Macneil, Tallis ii., Mackinnon, Martin i., Northcote, Simpson v., Mann, and Sargood ii., with Onslow as reserve.

O young and brave, it is not sweet to die, To fall and leave no record of the race, A little dust trod by the passers-by, Swift feet that press your lonely resting-place ; Your dreams unfinished, and your songs unheard— Who wronged your youth by such a careless word ?

All life was sweet—veiled mystery in its smile; High in your hands you held the brimming cup ; Love waited at your bidding for a while, Not yet the time to take its challenge u p ; Across the sunshine came no faintest breath To whisper of the tragedy of death.

And then, beneath the soft and shining blue, Faintly you heard the drum's insistent beat; The echoes of its urgent note you knew, The shaken earth that told of marching feet; With quickened breath you heard your country's call, And fron. your hands you let the goblet fall.

You snatched the sword, and answered as you went, For fear your eager feet should be outrun, And with the flame of your bright youth unspent Went shouting up the pathway to the sun.

O valiant dead, take comfort where you lie.

So sweet to live ? Magnificent to die !

IRetitement of ftfeut-GoL H- f. (Barrark On the 14th of October last year Lieut.-Col. A. F. Garrard resigned his position as Secretary and Bursar to the School Council (the resignation to date from the end of the year), and at the same time placed his services at the disposal of the Defence Department for military duty. On the 7th of February last he was gazetted Officer Commanding the Military Camp at Broadmeadows.

The School Council at a special meeting-called for the purpose, while accepting Colonel Garrard's resignation with regret, decided, in view of his past services to give special consideration to his re-engagement after the war, if that should be possible. And in appreciation of his services to the School, they also voted him an honorarium on hi;: retirement.

F A R E W E L L M E E T I N G AND P R E S E N T A T I O N .

On Monday afternoon the 13th of December (the last clay but one of term), the School met in the Bracebridge Wilson Hall, at four o'clock. A large number of representative Old Boys were present, as well as members of the School Council and the Head Master and staff. Mr. W. T. Manifold (Chairman of the School Council) presided, and called upon Mr. F. R. Pincott (the first President of the Old Geelong Grammarians' Association).

Mr. Pincott referred with regret to Colonel Garrard's approaching depar ture after 33 years' service, and reviewed all that he had done for the School, as Form Master and House Master, as Coach upon the river, as O / C of the Cadet Corps, and as Secretary of the Old Geelong Grammarians' Association. All his actions during that time had been animated by one feeling: love for the old School.

He asked Colonel Garrard to accept as a token of

THE

COKlAN

appreciation and respect from past and present members of the School, a purse of sovereigns and an illuminated address.

A framed photograph of Colonel Garrard, he understood, was to be hung in the School.

Mr. Edward A. Austin (Vice-President of the Old Geelong Grammarians' Association) then read the address, which is as follows : — To Licut.-Colonci Albert Finchett Garrard, V. D. From the Past and Present Members of the Church of England Grammar School, Corio, Geelong.

Dear Sir, It is with deep regret that we learn of your approaching departure after thirty-three years spent in the service of the School. For twenty-nine years (Feb. 1883—Dec. 1911) you were a Master in the School, and for the last four years (1912—1915) you have been Secretary and Bursar to the School Council. Within these two periods you were also for seven years (July 1906—Dec. 1913) in charge of Bracebridge Wilson House as House Master.

During all that time you have devoted yourself heart and soul to the School and its various interests! and activities.

For twenty-five years you formed and trained and were the life of the Cadet Corps of the School, and for many years you coached our crews upon the river with considerable success. The foundation of the Old Grammarians' Association, its steady growth, and its present vigorous corporate life, are due to your unflagging energy. Without the Old Grammarians' Association, it is safe to say, the scheme for developing and re-building the School would not have been possible, and the development scheme itself owes much of its success to your persistent endeavour and cnthusiasan. To crown your efforts you have for the last four years devoted yourself as Secretary of the Council to the task of bringing the new school at Corio to completion. For a generation you have given your best energies to the School.

You have made its life your own life, and in its success you have no small share.

On behalf of the past and present members of the School we wish to express to you on the eve of your retirement our heartfelt and grateful appreciation of your long and splendid services to the School, and at the same time to assure you of our deep respect for you as a master, of our admiration of your character as a man, and also of our affection for you as a friend.

We learn that you have offered yourself for military service, and in your new duties we wish you God speed.

For both yourself and Mrs. Garrard we hope that the future may have every happiness and success in store.

Corio, 7th December, 1915.

Colonel Garrard in reply thanked the past and present members of the School for the generous present they had given him, not only for its intrinsic value, but for the recognition it implied that he had done his best.

He referred to his first evening as a master at the old Junior School in February 1883, when C. D. Mclntyre (a new boy) and he had the building to themselves.

He was doubtful which of the two of them was the more shy. On joining the Senior School in 1884, he at once became fascinated by the life of the School, and a great love for the place took possession of him.

To picture the men leading the School and the life of the School in the eighties he read extracts from the Head Master's speech, published in the December " Quarterly " 1891, and also gave a description of the School Regatta VIII's rowed in 1891 over a mile course at 5.30 ajn.

He then read J. L. Cuthbertson's verses, " Australia Federata," and concluded by thanking members of the School, both past and present, for their unfailing kindness to himself throughout his 33 years' service, and assuring them of his affection for the School, which would end only wi+h his life.

Three cheers were given for Colonel Garrard, and the meeting ended.

Albert Finchett Garrard joined the staff of the School as a master of the Junior School in February 1883.

The next year he became a member of the Senior School, and remained in that position until the end of 1911, when he accepted the appointment of Secretary and Bursar to the School Council, which he held until his retirement at the end of last year.

H e has now (February, 1916) been gazetted to the command of the Broadmeadows Military Camp.

By a curious coincidence Colonel Garrard's term of service at the School, 33 years, was the same as that of his father-in-law, the late Mr. Bracebridge Wilson.

In July, 1906, the number of boarders was too large for the accommodation at the old school, and it was decided to open an additional boarding house. Accordingly a house was rented at the corner of Austin Street and Pakington Street. This was known as Bracebridge Wilson House, and was placed in charge

40

THE CORIAN

May'16

of Colonel (then Major) Garrard. It remained under his charge until December 1913, when the School was moved to its new quarters at Corio.

For 33 years (a generation) Colonel Gararrd made the School's life his own life, and devoted all his en- _ crgy, of which he had such a large share, to its various activities and interests.

The School Cadet Corps was formed in 1884, and fiom that year until 1909, for 25 years, Colonel Garrard was the life and soul of the corps. It is to him we owe not only its efficiency as a corps, but also its success at the rifle butts. From 1884-1906 we won eleven out of twenty-three annual senior rifle matches.

To turn to the river. Colonel Garrard's connection with our crews as Coach began in 1889. Between 1889 and 1915 he coached 27 crews, of which eleven were victorious.

In 1900 the Old Geelong Grammarians' Association was formed. Major Garrard was the first secretary, an office he retained until the close of last year. Of this Association he was the mainspring, and by his energy the membership roll has been brought to its present large number.

The vitality and corporate life of the Association is largely due to its active secretary. Without the Association the Development Scheme for the Re-building of the School would, it is safe to say, have been impossible. Into the Development Scheme Colonel Garrard put all his best energy, and no small part of its success may be traced to him.

To crown his work Colonel Garrard came out to Corio as Secretary to the Council, and as their executive officer laboured to complete what he had helped so much to begin.

He has now been appointed to the command of the military camp at Broadmeadows, and in this year of stress is finding, we may be sure, a still higher pleasure in serving his country. To Mrs. Garrard and himself we wish all happiness and success.

At the request of the Editor, Colonel Garrard has kindly forwarded the following particulars of his military and rowing records, which we are glad to be able to print in the " Corian ":â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

IRowinG. On account of the increased membership of the Boat Club, two new boats had to be ordered this term, the " Joffre," a sliding seat, and the " Jellicoe," a fixed seat four.- We were also presented with a new tub pair, which we found very useful.

In fact all the boats have been fully utilised, and it has not been an uncommon sight to see 120 boys on the Lagoon in one afternoon.

W e have again to thank the Barwon Club for their generosity in lending us boats for Saturday parties, and for training purposes, and also the Corio Bay Club for giving us a trial spin during our training, which this year was made very much easier by the very great kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Mawson, who lent their motor car for the use of the crew.

We would like to take this opportunity of thanking them most heartily for all that they have done for us.

T H E CREW. Only one of last year's crew was available, namely Armytage, so the selectors had a difficult problem to solve in filling seven gaps. The final choice was made three weeks before the race, and was as follows:— J. L. Webster (stroke), J. L. Jardine (7), N. F. Armytage (6), C. S. W. Cooke (5), C. E. G. Beveridge (4), H. C. Thomson (3), I. S. Black (2), C. L. Nicholas (bow), and R. H. H. Perry (cox). N. F. Beggs and F. R. S. Mawson were selected as reserves.

Mr. P. Landale kindly offered his services as coach, but after ten days with us he found that he was corflpelled to return to Deniliquin.

Mr. C. E. Curnow consented to fill the gap and our best thanks are due to him for his services.

The Easter vacation was spent at Barwon Heads.

The 1st and 2nd crews and a pair made the trip, and though the weather was unfavorable, nevertheless the holiday was an enjoyable one and some useful rows were indulged in.

H E A D OF T H E RIVER. This year being our " choice of water." the race was rowed on the Barwon.

The course—a measured

mile—was from opposite the Austral Mills to the picket fence on the east end of the Barwon Reserve.

The preliminary heats were rowed on May Sth. Both banks were lined with spectators, while hundreds followed the races from start to finish. It is a long time since such an enthusiastic crowd was seen on the Barwon course. The weather was ideal. Mr. H. Young acted as starter and umpire, Mr. H. J. H. Storrer as judge, Mr. W. Wright as timekeeper, and Mr. A. Colenso as clerk of scales. To all the officials Ave offer our greatest thanks.

At half a mile the Melburnians were slightly ahead, and at the bridge were nearly a length to the good. • Scotch College made an effort there, but, beyond holding the leaders, they could do no more, and the Melburnians won a hard race by three-quarters of a length. Time, Smin.

17secs.

FINAL HEAT. The final heat was rowed off on Saturday afternoon, May 6th.

Wesley had the south station, Geelong Grammar School the centre, and Melbourne Grammar the north.

The crews got away to a good start, but Melbourne Grammar soon established a lead of a quarter of a length. Only a few feet separated Wesley from Geelong.

All three crews were rowing finely, when it was-seen that the Wesley cox was boring on the centre station.

A foul was imminent and it occurred about 500 yards from the starting post. The race was instantly stopped by the umpire and Wesley was disqualified for being out of their water when the foul took place. Mr- Young ordered a re-row between Melbourne and Geelong, and it was decided that the race should take place at 4.30, giving the crews one hour's spell.

A meeting of delegates was held in the interim in the Barwon Club's shed. It was decided that Melbourne Grammar should occupy the centre station, while Geelong took the south.

The crews again got away to a good start, but Melbourne, as before, soon established a lead of about

a quarter of a length, which they maintained until the Mills were reached. Geelong then made a spurt and drew level at the Bridge. From then to the finish proved a most exciting contest and it was only in the last few yards that Melbourne Grammar drew away and won a splendidly contested race by a bare half fength.

Time, Smin. 34secs.

The crews were as follows:— Centre Station.—Melbourne Grammar School.—L. F. Armstrong (bow), 10.12; C. H. Z. Woinarski, (2), 10.2; J. A. Campbell (3), 11.11; J. L. Baillieu (4), 12.S; L.

T h e choir sang admirably, and Wingrove and Mawson were very successful with their songs.

T h e actors all worked hard. The court was a painstaking audience, but were unavoidably overshadowed by the clowns.

Quince's by-play was excellent; Lion roared with credit, though rather gently ; Pyramus " spread " himself magnificently ; Thisby looked a " weird sister," and was passing clever withal; Wall's stolidity, Moonshine's irresistible fatuousness, and " P i n g " and '' Pong's " occasional waywardness, coupled with their kissing of the actors' feet, and their intelligent and tongueful regard of the convulsed audience, all added to the general hilarity and success of the piece, which ended with a wildly comic " Bergomask."

W e were sorry that illness prevented Miss Garrard from singing, and are very grateful to her for making the effective costumes for the actors, and to Mrs. Garrard for constant and most valuable help.

A successful concert was given on May 12th, 1915, when the " Area B e l l e " was also acted; and at the Assault-at-Arms in August the choir gave three or four items in the interval. On all occasions the proceeds have been given to the Red Cross Society.

It was with feelings of deep regret that we heard during the Christmas holidays of the death of Captain C. F. Drought. On the 19th of December he was struck by a shell while attempting to rescue some men

Drought was at the School for seven years (190511), (holding a scholarship during all that time). He was School Prefect in 1910 and 1911, Senior Prefect and Captain of the School in 1911. He was a Lieutenant in the School Cadet Corps, and in 1911 O/C of A Company. For four years (1908-11) he was a member of the Cricket Eleven, and in 1911 was Captain of the Eleven. He also rowed in the Head of the River crews, 1910 and 1911. While at the School he showed a marked aptitude for military work, and made an almost ideal cadet officer. Always bright and cheery he had a fine influence upon others, and was one of the most capable, as well as one of the most popular, of our School captains.

When the war broke out he happened to be in England, and at once applied for a commission, and on the 17th of September was gazetted a second lieutenant in the 7th Battalion of the Lincolnshires.

The breezy letters will be remembered, in which he described, with evident enjoyment, the work of training at Lulworth Cove, Dorset, and again his route march through Winchester. On the 19th July he left with his regiment for France, and in October wrote to the School describing his life there. That his capacity as an officer was recognised at once is evident from his promotion to the rank of Captain before he left England. The following extracts are from letters received from his brother officers:— "Captain Drought was in command of my company, and I was with him when he was hit, and a pluckier fellow it would be impossible to find.

He bore up with wonderful fortitude. I did all I >could for him, and got a bandage on, but it was some hours before we could get him down to the dressing station.

I well recall, as we lifted him out of the trench, his message to the company—" Good-bye, boys, I am sorry to leave you, but a happy New Yea r to you all."

His loss is a very serious one to us—he was a soldier by instinct and a rare tactician. It seems as though

it is always the best who go. His men—our men— loved him as few officers ever are loved, and our confidence in him was perfect." " He was the best and most efficient officer in my regiment, and one of the finest characters I have ever met anywhere. His loss is a most grievous one to the battalion. His Company was most efficient, and this result was due entirely to his careful training."

And such was he whose name we keep Alive among us still— Who is not dead, although he sleep On yonder wind-swept hill— Whose voice is like a bugle-call That summons us to be Unswerving soldiers, one. and all, In life's Thermopylae.

Of the boys who left us at the end of last year, C. C. Austin, C. R. Botterill, J. V. Fairbairn, A. C. W. Fisken, R. O'H. Giles, G. P. Kay, B. B. Mackinnon, T. C. Manifold, K. C. Webb-Ware, and A. R. Wilkins, have reached England and are now in Officers' Training Cadet Corps, either at St. John's Wood or Cambridge, while W. S. Kelly and D. McL. Moffatt have enlisted in the A.I.F. The former is SergeantMajor in the 38th Battalion 10th Infantry Brigade, Bendigo, and the latter is in the 8th Brigade of Field Artillery.

I. S. Black has just left for England to enter Woolwich.

Mr. C. H. Brewer, our Science Master, who sailed in the Maloja at the end o- last year, is in the Officers' Training Cadet Corps, at Cambridge, and is quartered at Peterhouse (the oldest of the Colleges of Cambridge) .

Among the Australian officers who have recently received honours from the French President, is Lieut.Colonel Christian, C.M.G., commanding the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, N.S.W. He has been awarded the Officers' Cross.

R. D. Wallace, who has enlisted in the Light Horse Reinforcements, is probably our oldest representative

in this war. He rowed in the Head of the River crew of 1887, which was stroked by Fred James.

Major H. M. Downes, who in the recent African campaign, acted as staff officer to the O/C. at the Union Expeditionary Base, Cape Town, was- sent in command of South African troops despatched to England in the R.M.S. Saxon, and was appointed Attached Major in the Royal Field Artillery.

He attended a gunnery course at Shoeburyness, and is now probably in command of a battery in Flanders.

Captain R. M. Williams was wounded " somewhere " in France by a shell, which broke his right arm and shoulder. After three months in hospital he is now convalescent, and hopes soon to rejoin his regiment. He sends best wishes to the School.

A. B. Murphy, of the 9th Battalion Lincolnshires, has been wounded in the right shoulder while fighting in the Balkans. He was in No. 19 General Hospital, Alexandria when we last heard of him.

C. O. Fairbairn, of the Royal Flying Corps, has been wounded while fighting a big German battleplane, 12,000 ft. in the air over Ypres. " It was a great fight," he writes, " but seeing that he had the pace of us, and fearing that he would get away, I closed to about 25 yards, which is a pretty deadly range with a machine gun. W e were both hit simultaneously. He landed just behind his lines, and we made for our aerodrome, but the engine failed, so we landed in a field. My arm was broken in three places, one wound caused by a ricochet was an awful gash, six inches long, right through the upper part of the arm." W e are glad to hear that his arm is slowly mending. H e is now back in England.

C. A. S. Hawker, who was severely wounded in an attack made opposite Ypres, on Loos day, is recovering, and hopes to go to Cambridge for the summer term, to qualify for his degree. He will not be fit, he says, for military duty again before the autumn.

G. W. Brown, who " was wounded by a sniper at the battle of Loos and had an exceptional let off," is now on light duty, instructing young officers.

G. A. Fairbairn, who is now full Lieutenant, is making a slow but steady recovery. He is also engaged on light duty.
