FROM THE WARDEN, DR. EVAN BURGE •

It seems a long time since the last Trinity Newletter. The rush of events has overtaken our good intentions, and I am now writing on the eve of leaving for a period of leave abroad. The highlight is to be a Trinity Fleur-de-Lys Dinner in London on November 7th, but I expect also to visit other Trinity Colleges in Toronto, Hartford Connecticut, Dublin, Oxford and Cambridge before returning via Jerusalem on December 10th.

The first day of September 1979 marked a milestone in our history.

On that day the Trinity College Act "to incorporate Trinity - College, amend the Janet Clarke Hall Act of 1962, and for other purposes" took effect. A detailed account of this legislation appears elsewhere in this Newsletter. Among other things, it means that anyone who has ever been a resident or non-resident member of the College for three or more terms is legally, and in the fullest sense of the word, a member of the College for life — unless excluded for good reason. I very much hope that this continuing membership will mean a good deal

in practice as well as in theory.

Both 1979 and 1980 have been notable for an atmosphere of enthusiasm and participation within the College. There were many signs of this: among them, the large turnout of supporters for College sporting events and Trinity's success last year in winning both the Tickner Cup for Inter Collegiate Sport and the Holmes Cup for Women's Sports. At the end of 1979, and again in the last few weeks, I circulated a questionnaire among the students asking for comments on almost all aspects of our community life. It is rewarding and reassuring to receive back many comments like this: "Trinity is a great place to be — and that's the understatement of the year."

As well as in sport and the general atmosphere, the College has done well in academic terms. The award of the 1979 Victorian Rhodes Scholarship to a Trinity man, Dr. Elsdon Storey put the finishing touch to a fine year.

Our overall success, however, led to an unexpected embarrassment.

So many people wanted to come into Trinity in 1980 that nearly two hundred had to be turned away. It would have been possible to fill the

vacancies entirely with the sons and daughters, brothers and sisters of former and present residents of Trinity. Family connexions are very important to us. A wise selection policy cannot, however, allow these to dominate over every other consideration. I find it distressing not to offer a place to someone who has looked forward to coming here, sometimes for years.

On present indications, even more are applying to Trinity for 1981!

The Warden, Evan L. Burpe.

THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL APPEAL The Appeal, now in its third year, continues to make progress. Good support from parishes in 1979, together with a grant of $5,000.00 from the Trustees of the Maynard Estate, brought the total of the Appeal by the end of June to $106,000 — $91,000 in cash and $15,000 in promises. There was no expenditure in 1979, but the cost of the married students' flats now under construction — $130,000 — will far exceed funds in hand and further support is essential.

Building the flats not only gives the College a valuable asset which is of direct use for married students and tutors, but the rent (once the capital has been repaid) will contribute substantially to the stipends of the theological staff.

The College is deeply grateful to Bishop James Grant for his untiring work for the Appeal.

BISHOPSCOURT VIEWING To aid the Theological School Appeal, Archbishop and Mrs. Dann are generously' inviting Trinity members, spouses and friends to view the restored Bishopscourt on Thursday 13th November, from 5.30 to 7.30 p.m., at a charge of $5 per head. This includes refreshments, and applications should be made on the enclosed form.

UNION OF THE FLEUR-DE-LYS The activities of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys have been largely confined to the holding of two exuberant Dinners in Trinity in May 1979 and 1980. Each has been preceded by the traditionally brief annual meeting and election of the Committee. Sir John Bunting has been elected President for the past two years, and last April organized a second successful Trinity-J.C.H. Dinner in Canberra.

It is proposed to hold such dinners in Canberra every second year. Sir John lost most of his voice as the result of an operation a few years ago — but he can still give a delightful and brief address on the virtues of a speaker who has no voice.

The never-tiring Tony Buzzard continues as Secretary, and much of the liveliness of Fleur-de-Lys gatherings is due to his enthusiasm and organizing ability. He and John Bunting together plotted the forthcoming London Dinner reported elsewhere.

Thanks largely to the work of Sir Reginald Sholl, the Union has had a Constitution since May 1979.

This has been approved by the College Council. As a result of the new College Constitution, the Union now has two representatives on the College Council: they are Tony Buzzard and Jim Court.

RE-APPOINTMENT OF WARDEN Dr. Burge's initial appointment of the fifth Warden of the College for a period of five years came to an end in July 1979. The Council has reappointed him for a further term, and placed on record its appreciation of his work during his first term as Warden: "He was installed at a time when the College was operating at a deficit, and under his leadership the financial and organisational changes required for survival were planned and implemented. The present flourishing state of the College reflects his enthusiastic leadership."

APPOINTMENT OF FULL-TIME DEAN At an impressive service in the Chapel on Trinity Sunday last year, Archbishop Dann installed Dr. Bryan Deschamp as full-time Dean and Sub-Warden of the College.

His two predecessors, Mr. Rod Fawns and Dr. John Davis, were both officially part-time, but the volume of work had grown to a point where the Council decided on a full-time appointment.

Dr. Deschamp's academic interests are mainly in history, especially medieval church history, and he originally came to Trinity as a history tutor in 1975. For two years he was Director of the Good Neighbour Council of Victoria. As well as being Dean, he is now honorary Chairman of the Migrant Resource Centre and maintains an active interest in ethnic affairs: he is a member of Victorian Ethnic Affairs Advisory Council and is a member (for migrant affairs) of the Security Appeals Tribunal established under the A. S.I.O. Act 1979.

Among other things, he has brought to Trinity a Community Outreach Programme. Students and tutors of the College, on an honorary basis, are developing leadership and awareness by giving one hour each week to community projects — such as teaching English to immigrants and recording books for the blind.

TRINITY THEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION PERSONAL NOTES Trinity men are on the move!

Bishop James Grant recently returned from a holiday in Europe bringing news of Bishop John McKie who is apparently enjoying country life in Pakington, Warwickshire which boasts "more pheasants than peasants"; of Michael Stannus Vice-principal of St. Paul's School, Rome and of Lindsay Urwin, who has completed theological studies at Cuddesdon and was ordained deacon on St. Peter's Day in Southwark Cathedral.

David Robarts (Dean of Perth) recently spent time at the Anglican

Centre in Rome; Peter Carnley (Warden, St. John's College, Brisbane) is back from six months study leave and Dennis Woodbridge (Chaplain, Melbourne Grammar School) is spending twelve months on exchange at St. Paul's School, London. Other travellers, both recent and current, include John Davis, George Lucas, Laurie Reeve, Stan Moss and Graeme Bride.

While thinking of the international scene, we hear that Peter Johnson, formerly Sub-Warden of St. Chad's College, Durham (U.K.) has moved to Canterbury to teach mathematics at the King's School; that Malcolm McKenzie, formerly Warden of St. Mark's College, Adelaide, has been appointed First Secretary to the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and that Russell Joyce has moved to the Parish of Flagstaff — Wakiri, Diocese of Dunedin, New Zealand.

On the home front, the Diocese of Bendigo has been enhanced by. the addition of two Trinity men to its ranks: Don Edgar to the Parish of Tongala and Andrew Curnow to the Parish of Elmore to which he has returned from spending two years in the U.S.A. gaining an M.A. in the process from the Presbyterian School for Continuing Education, Richmond, Virginia.

Edwin Byford who was locum tenens at Elmore has been appointed to the Parish of Gunning in the Diocese of CanberraGoulburn. Last, but by no means least, Mick Potter has been appointed Priest-in-charge of the new Parish of Corio. (Diocese of Melbourne).

Congratulations are due to Peter Hollingworth on his appointment as Director of the Brotherhood of St.~ Laurence; to Tony Hewison on his appointment as Principal of St. Michael's C. E. G. G. S.; to Douglas Dargaville for his contribution to the organization of the recent W.C.C. Conference in Melbourne and to Albert McPherson for producing a plethora of good things to mark the Cathedral Centenary.

St. Paul's East Kew, one of the earlier churches in Melbourne of contemporary design has recently been consecrated in the vicariate of Geoffrey Moorhouse and that gem of Melbourne's older churches, St. Mary's North Melbourne, is undergoing renovations and beautifications of truly Dearmeresque proportions under the guiding hand and inspiration of Jim Brady.

Finally, our prayers and good wishes go to John Romanis and to Frank Oliver both of whom have been on the sick list, and to David Warner whose wife, Dorothy, died recently after a long illness. ******#***#.

STUDENT LIFE 1979 AND 1980 Senior Students, Angus Brooksby ('79) and Michael Fullerton ('80) have presided over exceptionally buoyant years of College life.

Angus recalled some highlights at the 1979 Senior Student's Dinner a year ago: "A well organised 0-Week introduced a remarkably small number of first-years into College life with speed and high spirits. The rest of the term was covered by events such as the shout, the car rally, Juttoddie, and the Elliott fours.

The associated clubs also provided their share of the activities. The Wines Cellar went on its second tour — this year to the Hunter Valley — and returned yet again with tall stories, fine wines and garden gnomes. The Dialectic Society has had its debates and speakers, a quiz and lately the art show which also featured much of the Photographic Club's work.

Second term was highlighted b. the College play — Man and Superman. This was a success which showed the organisation and enthusiasm they need as well as the talent the Drama Club always had.

In contrast another second term highlight was the Portsea to Melbourne Tricycle Race. The Trike Team this year rose to second place and this is especially a tribute to the engineering crew — particular Harry Asche and Geoffe Sloane — who have nurtured the trikes since Trinity's re-entry into the fray in 1977.

Sports have displayed the College's best asset, and that is a large amount of College spirit and a willingness to be involved. The women have carried off the Holme Trophy, and the men, despite earl disappointments (Shums was a social success only) finally won the Tickner Cup. There have been some memorable performances: the men's first Athletics win in 19 years, wins by both the men's and the women's swimming teams, the women's hockey victory after a two hour spectacular and, of course the football win over Queen's — the first senior XVIII win in five years.

I would like to mention again the great spirit shown in sport this year — both on the field and on the sidelines — as I feel that it is in sport that the strength of the College as a unit is best revealed. This spirit is vital to College if it is going to be more than just a large rooming house providing a place to eat and sleep during term time."

Happily, the success of 1979 has been repeated in 1980. The 1980 Play — O What a Lovely War! — achieved professional standards in music, acting and production. In College sport there were many notable wins: another football

Geelong Grammar. We must increase our efforts to broaden our college intake or run the risk of being isolated from all but a particular segment of schools. This means more effort in recruiting in schools of all types but in particular the country private and high schools as these are the schools whose people are most ' likely to be attracted to College and whose diversity we need if we are to remain a viable College in the 1980s."

WE CONGRATULATE these members on gaining the

victory over Queen's and an exciting tussle with Newman; premierships in both men's and women's rowing and athletics, men's swimming and rugby, and women's baseball. Cricket remains a disappointment, as power has moved away from the skilled batsman to the fast bowler. There are signs that more football victories may be on the way next year.

Senior Student Mike Fullerton was cox of the winning men's first rowing eight, and organized a special victory dinner for the E.S. Hughes Club afterwards. Those ttending, together with some keen upporters from earlier days, subscribed enough to purchase a new racing eight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be named the "Arthur Godfrey".

For two years the T.C.A.C. Committee has contributed handsomely to the College Admissions Policy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; interviewing almost all applicants (as does the Warden) and making recommendations to the Warden who has the final say. We conclude with some thoughts from Angus Brooksby: "The College is in an extremely fortunate position due to its popularity Last year we had twice as many applicants as places. Five years ago this just wasn't the case.

The challenge is to make the most of our good fortune and to build a College strong in personalities as buttress against the future when times may not be as favourable.

People must approach College thinking of what they can give as well as what they can get.

Lastly, I think we are still too narrow in our appeal. As an example, the rugby team this year only had one person who was not from Melbourne Grammar or

TRINITY THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL

In the new College Constitution, the Theological School is clearly shown to be under the general oversight of the Victorian Bishops.

The Director of the School, together with the Warden and Chaplain, is required to meet with the Bishops before the beginning of each academic year to discuss the programme and policies of the School.

The first such meeting took place in February 1980 and was very fruitful. The Bishops expressed admiration for the work of the School. They also felt concern at the workload imposed upon the College Chaplain (through his involvement in the lecture programme of the United Faculty of

Theology and the development of a new programme of Field Education), and even more upon the Director of the Theological School.

The Director, Dr. John Gaden, is head of the Department of Theology in the United Faculty, Chaplain to the Canterbury Fellowship, and Diocesan Theologian. He also incurs considerable administrative and pastoral responsibilities within the College. Some alleviation of pressure is essential. The School looks forward to the day when the rents from the flats now being built through the Theological School Centenary Appeal will provide the stipend for another theological lecturer.

The School sponsored in 1979 a one-day School of Prayer in the

Chapel. This was conducted by the Revd. Fr. Mark Gibbard S.S.J.E., and aroused such enthusiasm that the School of Prayer is to become an annual event. This year, the second School of Prayer was led by Brother John Charles of the Society of St. Francis.

VISIT OF PURVIS SHERWOOD — AND SOME REMINISCENCES A welcome visitor to the College during the recent May vacation was Canon Purvis Sherwood (1933).

He was accompanied by Dr. John Piercey (1931) who lives almost directly opposit Trinity's main gate in Royal Parade (Sydney Road) and who takes a lively interest in contemporary Trinity life — especially the sporting teams.

Sherwood and Piercey were both in the 1933 Football XVIII — and

have a photograph to prove it. They appear to be arguing with each other while the rest of the team (including Russell Clark, Peter Bennie, Ainslie Meares amid other notables) stands unperturbed.

Purvis Sherwood recalled many amusing incidents of those times — two pennies on a wire to make a free phone call; a beery celebration after the College went officially "dry" — the bottles were stacked in the wooden boxes intended for firewood; the amazing climbing of the spire of the College Chapel one night to hang some feminine undergarments from the top; the hiding of the Behan Foundation Stone; and above all, a student prank at the expense of Gordon Taylor, the Sub-Warden. Taylor lived in the large room over the entrance to Clark's and wondered at a strange stench in his room. This became progressively worse. "Rats under the floor, sir" suggested some helpful Trinity gentlemen. So the floorboards were torn up, to n. avail. Finally disintegrating pieces of rotting cat fell into his fireplace.

The poor creature, dead of course, had been hung in his chimney some weeks previously. Purvis Sherwood leads a quieter life in retirement from parish duties near Manchester.

Inaugural Juttoddie Steeplechase, 1931.

L to R.: T. OddiG F. D. Cumbme-Stewart(oldest inhabitant 1931), C. Juttner.

THE FIFTIETH JUTTODDIE Both Juttner and Oddie took a keen interest in the fiftieth running of the annual steeplechase they inaugurated in Trinity in 1931. Dr. Thomas Oddie is now a paediatrician in California. He visited Melbourne briefly in Feburary, and kindly arranged for his daughter (Mrs. Pam Larritt) to send to the College the fascinating original documents relating to the first race in 1931. His partner, Dr. Colin Juttner, now lives in Adelaide, and despite his convalescence from a heavy cold, braved some bleak weather to be present on Sunday, April 27th for this significant anniversary. This gave the Warden an excuse to present him with a scarf in Trinity colours.

Although the race has changed almost beyond recognition, Dr. Juttner obviously enjoyed himself.

He has generously offered a rosebowl as a trophy for women winners, and we hope that he and s wife Patricia will present it in rson to the first woman Juttoddie champion in years to come. The winner in 1980 was Alistair Hamer, son of R. ("Dick")Hamer.

Incidentally, we shall never again be guilty of misspelling "Juttoddie" — a word which commemorates the names of two members of the College who gave more to College tradition and spirit than they probably realized half-a-century ago.

fallen far short of their former glory.

During 1980 the Centre for Environmental Studies (presided over

by Professor George Seddons) undertook the replanning of the grounds as a post-graduate student exercise in Landscape Planning.

The results were stimulating, and will have some practical effect in years to come. Several alternative schemes were presented by different groups, but the following ideas are common to most of them: (i) Provide more lighting in the grounds, and bench seats in suitable places; (ii) Remove all cars from the front of Leeper; (iii) Move the back gate leading to the University further north, so that those who enter see Leeper rather than Jeopardy; (iv) Create a new screened carpark between Behan and the front hedge, remove cars from along the back wall of Clarke, and plant trees and shrubs at the back of Clarke; (v) Demolish the old garages and student Laundry (a small addition to an attractive older building) in the "backyard" area and open up a landscaped approach to Dorothy and the new flats; (vi) Create a new dense tree and garden area in front of Cowan.

BUILDINGS A block of four one-bedroom flats is now rising along the University oval boundary next to Dorothy.

This represents phase two of the Theological School Centenary

Appeal, and will cost $130,000 — most of which has still to be raised.

The College has been in some need of married accommodation for some years, for both tutors and theological students. We hope the flats will be ready by Christmas and will be officially opened in February.

Other building operations have included the conversion of bathroom and toilet facilities in Jeopardy and Behan so that these buildings can house both men and women students. Part of the female domestic quarters has been extensively renovated to form an attractive self-contained flat (of which Miss Joan McCormick was the first occupant). The private Dining Room, formerly the Senior Common Room, at the end of the Dinig Hall was subdivided to form new offices for the Bursar, the Bookkeeper, and the Records Officer.

The carpeting, for the first time, of the corridors in Clarke and Behan has greatly enhanced the quietness and comfort of these buildings.

(Bishops' was carpeted in 1974 and Jeopardy slightly earlier). This leaves Cowan as the only major building without carpet.

The loss of the private Dining Room to office space led to a proposal to build a new private Dining Room linking the new offices to the rear of the kitchen and looking out on the Vatican lawn.

This idea has been temporarily shelved until a master plan can be formed with architectural advice for the development of this whole area.

Have we many Trinnity members in Sydney? John McDonagh (University Engineer, University of N.S.W. P.O. Box 1, Kensington • 33) would like to make contact.

CHAPEL CHOIR For some years, under the enthusiastic leadership of Professor Peter Dennison a twenty-voice choir has sung Evensong in the Chapel every Monday and Wednesday in term. This brings Trinity into the ancient tradition of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges having a fine choir to sing masterpieces of English Church Music regularly in Chapel.

Professor Dennison founded such a choir of mixed men's and women's voices in Clare College Cambridge, and then planted the same tradition in Melbourne. If you are near the College a little before 5.30 p.m., on a Monday or Wednesday afternoon please call in for half-an-hour to the Chapel. You will not be disappointed.

■■■■■ THE- COLLEGE GROUNDS Trinity's atmosphere depends in part on our beautiful surroundings, bu in recent years the gardens have

"DOROTHY" formerly the male domestics' quarters, now accommodates students. Four flats are presently being constructed between Dorothy and the Vatican, along the University oval boundary. *************************************

PRESSURE FOR PLACES Demand for resident places continues to grow and, to judge from the rush of applications for 1981, has not yet reached its peak. In 1979, over forty good applicants were passed on to other Colleges or found accommodation elsewhere.

In 1980, the figure was over two hundred!

To cope with the demand last year, small bedrooms (mainly in Cowan) were pressed into service as individual bed-studies. This year, the old male-staff quarters ("Dorothy") on the north-east boundary near Ormond were converted to student use. As a result, the College enrolment of 247 undergraduates (including about 90 women) is the highest in the College's history. There are also 80 non-resident students.

AT LAST — INCORPORATION! The successful passage through the Victorian Parliament of the Trinity College Act 1979, which received Royal Assent on 10th July 1979 and was subsequently proclaimed to come into effect on 1st September 1979, was a landmark in the history of the College. It had long been intended that the College should be incorporated through an Act of Parliament, but several attempts earlier in this century had failed. This was largely because there was no agreement at the time between those who favoured a high degree of secular autonony for the College and those who believed in strong Church control.

The Constitution contained in the schedule of the Trinity College Act safeguards the position of the Anglican Church by arranging for the Archbishop of Melbourne to be President of the College Council and for the other four Victorian Dioceses all to be represented — at least two of them by their Bishops.

The new Council is required to furnish an annual report of its affairs to the Archbishop-inCouncil.

A significant change in the Constitution of the College following Incorporation is that more places on the Council are given to those concerned with the day-to-day running of the College: the Warden, Dean, Bursar, Chaplain, Director of the Theological School, and President of the Senior Common Room. In addition there are, for the first time, three student places, one of whihc is filled ex officio by the Senior Student. The Committee of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys has the right to elect two members of the Council (an increase of one). There is also provision for the future appointment fo a body of honorary Fellows. The Fellows will be able to elect two of their number to the Council.

The Act itself effects an important simplification in the administration of the College. Previously

the site, buildings and trust funds of the College were administered by an incorporated body known as the Trinity College (Melbourne) Trusts Corporation. Now the Trusts Corporation has been dissolved, and the College itself is given wider powers for the investment of Trust Funds.

Various problems implicit in the Janet hall Act 1942, resulting from the admission of women residents to Trinity since 1974, have also been rectified.

Last November, the College enjoyed a special Incorporation Dinner. Mr. Peter Balmford, as guest speaker, enlightened the gathering on the implications of the Trinity College Act. The College is grateful to him, Sir Reginald Sholl, and Miss Rowena Armstrong for putting their special legal expertise freely at the disposal of the College.

We are also grateful to the Premier, Mr. R (Dick) Hamer, the leader fo the National Party, Mr. Peter RossEdwards, and in the Legislative Council, to the Hon. F. S. Grimwade and the Hon. S. R. McDonald, for supporting a Bill of such significance for théir College. *****************

Syd Wynne

Harold Markham MIGHELL (1946) John Charles Rookwood PROUD (1926) Victor Herbery BELSON (1935) Alfred Lawrence KEEP (1915) Ronald Douglas PURNELL (1941) Geoffrey SUTHERLAND (1934) • • • • • A FORMER DEAN LOOKS BACK Dr. John M. Davis, noted in academic circles for his physiological research into tiny parts of the kidney, retired as part-time Dean of Trinity during 1979, a position he had held for three years. Previously he had been a student, tutor and Senior Tutor of the College. He was persuaded to write some of his memories, as follows:On the night of the 1979 Senior Student's Dinner I happened to glance at the roll of former Senior Students in the J. C. R and, out of idle interest, counted the number I had known. With some surprise I found it was eighteen, including the newly elected Mike Fullerton.

Continuing that train of thought, it rapidly occurred to me that I had lived in the College under three of the five Wardens. At that point I picked up my walking stick and shuffled off to dinner.

As former Senior Student Chris Maxwell remarked later that evening, things have changed. In some respects they certainly have, mostly for the better. I entered College in 1964 as a naive fresher from the country and I recall being surprised at what seemed to be the immense freedoms suddenly available — one only had to sign the late book if one intended to be out of College after twelve midnight.

Chapel attendance had recently ceased to be compulsory, although tutorials still were. Lady visitors were permitted up to 6 p.m., as was the drinking of beer, wines and sherry (not necessarily together although that happened occasionally with the predictable disastrous results!). Still, to temper these freedoms the laws on the Statue book were strict and the penalties were harsh. Woe betide the gentleman committing the henious crime of walking on the grass — this was met with the monstrous fine of 2/6 (5/- for a second offence). The privilege of traversing the lawn in a straight line was reserved for the tutors. Gentlemen who turned up late for dinner, or who arrived without the requisite gown, dark jacket, and black tie could expect to be fined a bottle of wine by that tyrant, the Table President.

An interregnum followed the sad death of the third Warden. Until the appointment of the fourth Warden, the College was in the safe hands of the Joint-Acting Warden, a duumvirate consisting of the Chaplain, Dr. Barry Marshall and

the Dean, Dr. John Poynter. Their reign is commemorated by the laundry and the trans-Bulpadock brick pathway (previuosly known as brick pathway (previously known as Purity Path, either because it was straight and narrow, or as a tribute to the ladies of J.C.H. who used it on their way to the University).

The T.C.A.C. meetings of those years were forums of eloquent addresses on many subjects. They were further enlivened by the continuing saga of the Trinity College Associated Clubs Racing Sub-Committee, whose intention it was to purchase a race horse. It was to be stabled on the Bulpadock and thus function secondarily as a lawn mower and fertiliser. The official visiting hours for ladies, the subject of many an impassioned plea at T.C.A.C. meetings in those days, were slowly extended, and eventually corresponded with real practice. The subsequent discovery that women did not, after all, lead to the immediate decline of the physical, academic and moral fabric of the College, culminated, after due process, in the admission of women as resident students, a change championed by the then Warden, Robin Shar wood, although not unopposed both in Council and amongst the male students.

A further change in recent years has been a subtle shift in the role of the S.C.R A tutor was to function as "guide, philosopher and friend".

Granted notable exceptions, such role was not altogether compatible with the disciplinary function as practised ten to fifteen years ago.

Today's Senior Common Room is certainly younger than it used to be, the majority of members being postgraduate students themselves. The disciplinary role has softened somewhat and generally speaking the tutors relate fairly well to the resident students and hence the old ideal seems to be approached more closely today than formerly.

In the face of these changes, would a student who left here fifteen years ago still recognise his old College? I think so. At one level there in continuity of personalities such as Don Grilli and Lil, and in those who have returned after some years absence, such as Alfred Bird, John Gaden and Rodney Oliver.

Further, there are many of the ancient traditions which still flourish, although in the present era of instant tradition it is sometimes difficult to distinguish these.

Finally, and most importantly, there is the continuum of students, tutors and staff who have made up the College for the 1st one hundred the College for the last one hundred and eight years and who have contributed something of themselves to create a spirit which is something special and identifiably Trinity.

A YEAR AND A TERM IN TRINITY (Sep. 1947 — Dec. 1948) Ian Maroske I was certainly one of those students who got more from Trinity than he gave to it.

I arrived in September 1947 just in time for the Juttoddie, an experience not particularly enjoyable, although in an odd way, I was glad not to have missed it. Not unexpectedly, I found myself with the leftovers for the year — a room in the "Wooden Wing" nearest the toilets (with sound to match) and answering the telephone, but after two terms of travelling in from Toorak tram terminius in a strikebound Melbourne, it was good to have the chance to walk directly to lectures. I had been taken in as a disadvantaged country student by Mrs. Alison Patrick, nee Hamer, until a vacancy presented itself at Trinity.

At College, I spoke litte and listened intently, sometimes wit wonderment, but now after thirt} ' one years, only a few vignettes come to mind.

The College dinners with the speeches (story sessions) and rising exuberance! At one dinner there was an unauthorized entry by two `foreigners' who actually got to addressing the dinner until, under the heavy frowns of the Warden (R W. T. Cowan), they were escorted from the hall by Syd Wynne, in his best overalls. Three of the `stories' I heard have since been retold at too many dinners and weddings to count.

The meal time with random seating at table meant a fine cross fertilization of observation and banter. The dinner waitresses were always observed (perhaps furtivel and the aspiring gynaecologist amongst the medicos would claim early diagnosis of the impending events.

In 1948 we had a seemingly endless bread drought due to some strike. I learned to appreciate Professor Wadham's remark that bread was a fine vehicle for food.

During the two years, I had many a talk with Syd Wynne. At first he thought that I was one of the `star boarders' — his name for theological students. He claimed the credit for the design of Behan building and he took me below to see the basement (they seemed like catacombs) but I still have no knowledge of whether he did design the building or whether he was `taking me for a ride'. I certainly concluded that he was a Professor in his own right — subsequent writings seem to support this.

In 1948, a comet appeared in the south-east and when up one morning just before dawn, with John Hawkins, we came across one other enthusiast in the dressing-gowned person of Professor E. J. Hartung.

We never did follow up his invitation to view through his homemade twelve inch reflector — but my impression of his delighted enthusiasm remains.

In 1948, I `wifed' with Lawrence Reeve and we had to acquire our own furniture, which we did somewhat in Johnson Street, Collingwood. A thorough delousing followed and we eventually sold the items, at no loss, to our successors.

Perhaps that couch and the armchairs still serve in one or other of the rooms.

The roaring of the lions at Royal Park often added a eerie touch when walking back from the Trinity tram stop from the last tram at night — if a lion had come padding down Sydney Road, I would not have been taken by surprise. A fearful feminine screaming in the vicinity on one night (late) sent windows all round going up like pistol shots, then running feet and animated voices. The incident, as reported, was that a sailor had offered his atch to a girl's mother as a surety or the young lady, but the mother, both doubtful and fearful, screamed her way to safety. The sailor fled.

Football, though played hard at inter-college level, was highly enjoyable as was the well-earned visit to the nearest hotel afterwards, and a bus journey back to College with musical and poetic accompaniment.

I did wonder what the general public (the bus driver!) thought of our educated lyrics which, somehow, often featured King Farouk.

Memory bits like these must be endless indeed, and perhaps they do not interest any but the person who noted them in some way or other.

The real values of college life might be beyond clear definition. I apreciated meeting and knowing eople and perhaps that is one reason why I mention having known Max Bannister who was killed (others from Trinity were badly injured) in a car accident late in 1947 — a fine friend who might otherwise have made a worthy mark in our community.

******************************

STAFF CHANGES In July 1979, Miss Joan McCormick, the College's Domestic Supervisor, resigned. For over six years, she had brought elegance and much appreciated personal touch to the College dining hall and to many special functions.

Last January, the Bursar, Mr. A. W. Todd, left us. For five years, he had combined the demanding roles of catering manager, accountant, and overseer. Improvements to many College buildings bear testimony to his initiative, while his ability to contain catering costs without sacrificing quality was of great service to the College.

Early this year, Mr. John Smyth was appointed House Man ager â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a new position which includes overall responsibility for catering, buildings and grounds. Mr. Eric Payne was appointed part-time Bursar in March. He has since been developing a programme for processing the College accounts on a small computer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after long experience on the staff of C.R.A. where hill organized the task of putting the C.RA. Share Register on computer.
