THE TRINITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION - JOHN GOURLAY LEADS AN ENTHUSIASTIC TEAM by the Warden, Dr Evan L Burge Trinity members have not heard much about the Foundation recently, though they may remember that Mr John Hopkins was given the task of bringing it to birth. Lately, I received a letter from a Trinity member who wondered if the idea of a Foundation had fallen through.

In fact, a great deal has been happening and all the signs are present of an imminent healthy birth. A group of seven keen Trinity members have formed a dynamic committee which has been working steadily to bring about the best results. It was a happy day when Clive Smith came to lunch with the Warden and John Hopkins. Clive had been through it all with the very successful Melbourne Grammar Foundation and was able and ready to put his knowledge, his time and his energy at the service of the College.

A vital step was to find the right Chairman. Various names were canvassed, and some good people approached. All had pressing commitments, and would be glad to assist generously, but could not accept a Chairman's responsibility at this stage.

Despair turned to joy when John Gourlay's name came up, and he accepted the challenge. Since then we have not looked back.

Both John Gourlay and Clive Smith are active in stockbroking firms — John with McCaughan Dyson and Co and Clive with E L & C Baillieu. They were once 'wives' in Behan.

continue as a consultant, and Miss Angela Mackie will be employed for one-third of her time as Executive Officer of the Foundation.

What has the Foundation Committee to show so far? Three major achievements. First, a Trust Deed (of which the terms have been agreed by the College Council) establishing the Trinity College Foundation as an on-going legal entity, with tax-deductible status for the donors. This deed sets out the objects of the Foundation in detail, and envisages several categories of donors: Governors

those who give or pledge to give a minimum of $25,000 within five years

Patrons

those who give or pledge a minimum of $10,000 within five years

Sponsors

those who give or pledge a minimum of $5,000 within five years

Members

those who give or pledge a minimum of $2,000 within five years

Donors of lesser amounts will, of course, also be encouraged the aim is to encourage all Trinity members to give generously according to their ability.

To them were added others of diverse talent, united in a common goal — to secure the future of Trinity. Bill Cowan, who returned from New York only eighteen months ago as Australian Principal of McKinsey's Inc (from which he has recently resigned), has an intimate knowledge of business and management. David Wells, a solicitor with Mallesons, has been of inestimable help on the legal side. A fellow solicitor with Mallesons, Chris Beeny, has given invaluable honorary service with the drafting of a Trust Deed.

Other members of the Committee include Ben Bodna, who has had his hands full because of the inadequacies of Pentridge; Dr M R 'Taffy' Jones, who comes up from the Geelong Hospital as often as he can; and Robert Sanderson, who in retirement from Peat Marwick and Mitchell has been studying environmental science at the University. He is a valuable 'link man' with the College Council.

John Hopkins can feel justly proud of his part in bringing this committee into being, and of securing the active support for the Foundation of a number of other influential Trinity members.

The ball is now at the feet of the Committee. John Hopkins will

Mr John Gourlay, Chairman of the Foundation Committee

The second achievement is the production of a simple brochure of outstanding quality, telling the aims of the Foundation and including three fine coloured photographs of the College. The cost of designing and printing this has been generously donated by a member of the College who wishes to show his support for the Foundation's goals and to help towards their realization.

The third achievement is the securing, so far, of four Governors — that is, people who give or pledge $25,000 or more over a five year period. We are confident that several more Governors and Patrons will be forthcoming before a more widespread public campaign begins.

One of the four Governors is Mr Robert Cripps, who has been accorded this status in view of his great generosity in enabling the College to restore the fabric of the Chapel. When he heard that one of the goals of the Foundation was the up-grading of our present buildings and facilities, Mr Cripps commissioned, with the grateful consent of the Council and the Warden, a professional survey by the College Architects and the engineering firm of John Connell — Mott, Hay & Anderson of exactly what needs to be done and the estimated cost. This is now in progress, and will lead to a Master Plan for future College Development.

With John Gourlay at the helm, with a dedicated Committee, and with the widespread support of the Trinity family, the future well-being of the College will be made secure. The success of the Trinity College Foundation is vital if the College we love is to maintain its independence and continue, for its second hundred years, to develop capable men and women who can serve our community well.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A REGIMENTAL MEDICAL OFFICER

THE FOUNDATION

The Trinity College Foundation has been formed as a permanent body dedicated to assisting the College to thrive and develop during its second hundred years.

It will support the College in financial and other appropriate ways.

In order to meet its objectives the Foundation will need to raise substantial sums.

ITS OBJECTIVES

The Foundation will use the funds donated to assist the College and its future students in three ways: 1.Improving the current buildings, grounds, student facilities, and services of the College to meet the increasingly higher standards needed to attract and retain first-rate tutors, high-calibre Visiting Fellows, and able students.

2. Providing a substantial, growing fund to finance new buildings and facilities of high standard and enduring quality, in line with the overall planning for the College.

3. Endowing scholarships and bursaries for a variety of students with outstanding academic or leadership ability who have much to gain from, and contribute to, College life.

has a special significance for "Blue" Steward, who after the Syrian campaign became R.M.O. of the 2/16th Battalion, serving with this unit in New Guinea in 1942 when the Japanese advance was first halted.

The most dramatic section of the book is that describing the advance and retreat from Kokoda, where the 2/16th Battalion was closely linked in the fighting with the 2/14th Battalion whose R.M.O. was Blue's contemporary, Don Duffy, an old Ormond man.

The courage and physical endurance of the men comes shining through, as does the almost superhuman support of the Papuan stretcher bearers in their endeavours to evacuate the wounded.

The blunders in the campaign of the higher command are retold, and a great tribute is paid to the leadership of Brigadier A.W. Potts, then in command of the 21st Brigade. (At this stage his Intelligence Officer was Lieut. R.W.T. Cowan who later became Warden of Trinity.)

Steward mentions his old school friend "Jo" Gullett also the author of an excellent book of war experiences, but of books of this type (and of another War) my yard stick is Siegfried Sassoon's "Memoirs of an Infantry Officer."

H.D. STEWARD Recommended Retail Price $17.50 Cloth, $9.95 Paper Published by Melbourne University Press In the years following World War II Trinity men were prominent and prolific writers of Australian history.

Names such as Manning Clark and Shaw immediately come to mind. Now a contemporary of theirs has entered the field: H.D. Steward, with his "Recollections of a Regimental Medical Officer."

This is not academic history but history experienced as it was happening, recorded soon afterwards, and now, after a long gestation period, appearing as a book.

The infant has flourished and I note the title in recent best seller lists.

It is a very personal book and many names of the great and not-so-great are mentioned. However, each of these people

Steward is no Sassoon but he has written a very interesting book.

James Guest.

H.D. "Blue" Steward, Trinity Senior Student in 1937 has long been known not only for his service within the medical profession but equally for his skill as a lively teller of tales. The College is delighted that he has now published some of his reminiscences and that his contemporary James Guest consented to review the book.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE The College acknowledges with gratitude the following handsome gift: from Mr Thomas Graham (1924) a mounted silver cup for inter-collegiate golf — a tribute from five generations of the Graham family.

"COOK-CHILL" -A VENTURE IN INTERCOLLEGIATE CATERING

By Evan L. Burge Warden At the University of St. Andrew's, Scotland, in November 1980 I first saw how it was possible for a number of colleges to share a single kitchen. On investigating the best system for Australia on my return, I learned that a 'cook-chill' system was preferable in our circumstances to the 'cook-freeze' system that had impressed me overseas.

The name 'cook-chill' is rather off-putting. On student lips it is more likely to be spoonerized into 'kill-chook' than 'cool chick'.

Initially it suggests frozen, pre-packed food, with little to commend it either gastronomically or nutritionally. And yet two pairs of Colleges — one pair in Perth and the other in Melbourne — have instituted cook-chill catering systems and are very happy with the results. The system deserves a better name.

The College Council were originally impressed by the economics. A normal College kitchen is under-used for most of the day but frantically busy at meal-times. A good proportion of the wages bill goes on overtime payments and penalty rates.

This is not so once cook-chill catering is introduced. All the cooking for the week is done between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays and the savings in labour costs are considerable.

The savings are even greater. By working steadily for eight hours a day without periods of either slack or frantic activity, one kitchen can produce enough cooked meals for two colleges, or even three.

In Perth all the food needed by two Colleges, St. George's and Kingswood, is prepared in the kitchen of an Anglican Old People's Home. In Melbourne, both Trinity and Ormond are supplied from a kitchen in Ormond, and it should soon be possible to invite another College to join the system. In a few years, this kind of co-operative arrangement must become widespread if Colleges are to operate economically.

There are further cost-saving inducements. One is the advantage of bulk-buying when several Colleges combine. A more important one is the virtual elimination of waste.

Preliminary figures from the Ormond-Trinity venture suggest that raw food costs for the two Colleges are down by 24% compared with budget. It has been queried whether substantial savings could have equally been achieved by tightening controls in a conventional kitchen. At the very least, cook-chill

service' style of serving formal meals (which demands a large number of expensive stainless steel trays) and because Trinity also purchased a half-share in Ormond's existing kitchen equipment, the initial capital was a massive $95,000. This has been financed by a bank loan. The College expects to recoup this, including interest, within three years. In Colleges where cafeteria-style service is the norm, the capital outlay is much lower and the costs can be recouped in two years or even less.

For most Colleges an initial expenditure of about $25,000 should be enough.

How does the system work? And what is the food like? Cooking is done in the normal way, though a few dishes (such as poached eggs) are left slightly underdone. It is essential that nothing be overcooked. As soon as the food is cooked, it is placed in stainless steel trays, wheeled to a blast-chiller, and rapidly cooled to a temperature of 3°C. It is not frozen. It is stored in a refrigerated room, and taken to the receiving Colleges in an insulated van. Properly refrigerated, it will keep for up to five days, but such a long span is unusual. When it is required, it is heated in a special infra-red oven and served promptly. Food is heated only as it is required — hence, an increase in freshness and avoidance of waste. What is not needed, provided it has not been heated, can be kept for the next day.

The right comparison to make in all this is not between cook-chill meals and home cooking on a small scale, but between cook-chill meals and normal catering practice for large numbers who require their meals to be served in a short time. It is almost unavoidable in the larger Colleges, using traditional methods, having quantities of food sitting about at warm temperatures for lengthy periods. There are risks of bacterial contamination and of deterioration in quality and nutritional value. Both risks are greatly reduced by the cook-chill method, provided that temperature control is rigorously maintained.

What we have noticed in Trinity, since the system was introduced last February, is that vegetables in particular are fresher and more tasty than under the old methods.

Roast potatoes, however, have been less successful so far in Melbourne than in Perth. Other ways of cooking potatoes — mashed, boiled in their jackets, a la Lyonnaise — are all excellent. It is possible to achieve excellent results wth eggs — fried, poached, or omelettes. Poultry and fish dishes of a high standard can also be served. Steak can be served attractively, but it is not (in my view) quite as good as steak freshly cooked on the grill.

For special dinners, both Ormond and Trinity have had happy results with Beef Wellington. The basic cooking is done in the central kitchen early in the afternoon, and the fillet steak is wrapped in pâté and pastry-dough. It is then chilled. It is finished off in a normal oven at the receiving College and served promptly.

The general view among Trinity students is that the food has improved since cook-chill methods were introduced. Despite its unpromising name, cook-chill has won acceptance, and even acclaim, by our students who were originally sceptical.

provides a method and an incentive to run efficiently. But surely economics aren't everything? True, but they are important not only to administrators but equally to students. One goal is to cut the spiralling increases in student fees every year.

A few general points may be of interest. An attitude of openness and trust is vital between the co-operating Colleges. Ormond and Trinity, like Kingswood and St George's, have achieved this to a high degree. Before one starts, it is essential to determine methods of pricing the meals, apportioning the overheads, and owning the equipment. Both in Perth and in Melbourne the co-operating Colleges found it advantageous to form non-profit companies to run the central kitchens. The staff of the central kitchen are employed by the joint companies, which also purchase the raw food. Cooked meals are then supplied at cost to the participating Colleges.

The great savings afforded by the cook-chill system involve a fairly heavy capital outlay. In Trinity, because of the 'family

The participating Colleges do not need to have identical menus or styles of dining. A good deal of individuality is possible. There

are savings when some parts of the menu are shared when there is no particular reason to order something different. High-grade cooks are vital, as well as a thoroughly professional catering manager to control recipe's, food stocks, and work schedules.

You cannot get better food out of the system than you put into it.

The high standards of hygiene and planned production which are essential in the central kitchen impose obligations upon the participating colleges. The numbers of those to be catered for need to be submitted well in advance: last minute changes are expensive and hard to cope with once the food has been ordered. Another obligation, which we at first found surprisingly difficult, is washing up and returning promptly the used steel trays. This requires staff who will do the work, plentiful hot water, and quite a lot of space.

The upshot of all this is that Trinity and Ormond, like their Western Australian counterparts who pioneered the system among Australian Colleges, are enjoying better food at less cost, with increasing benefits as the years pass.

Although we could always sell the new equipment and revert to former methods, it is now most unlikely that we shall ever do so.

May there not be other areas — computerized accounting and record-keeping for instance — where intercollegiate cooperation has benefits for all?

COLLEGE BURSAR RETIRES

A TRINITY ART SHOW? The annual student art show in Trinity each September has greatly increased in standard and interest in the past few years.

An important factor has been the provision of an Art Room in the old laundry-room, which has been used by increasing numbers.

At the 1983 Trinity Ball, the Melbourne Town Hall was decorated with sophisticated simplicity. Banners depicting elegantly dressed men and women hung from the balcony and set a tone of suave restraint. These banners were produced in the Art Room — the more artistically gifted people doing the outlines, and others being encouraged to fill in sections with black or red. A matching set of life-sized cut-out figures greeted guests as they entered the Hall.

Over the years, Trinity has produced many members who have developed an interest and talent in art. A recent lunch-guest, Peter Seymour (1962) wondered if it would not be worthwhile to organize an exhibition, just for fun, of Trinity members' work.

It sounds a good idea.

In April of this year Mr Eric Paine, the College Bursar, retired after almost three years' service to the College.

A qualified accountant and company secretary, Mr Paine's task since appointment had been to transfer the College accounting on to a small business computer. This has now been partially completed.

Mr Paine's early business life was spent as Company Secretary and Chief Accountant of a leading retail department store in Bourke Street, until it was taken over in the mid-fifties by Coles.

The following twenty years were spent in the mining industry where there were many opportunities in secretarial and quasi legal work. In 1978 he retired from CRA Limited where he had been the Manager of Secretarial Services.

A farewell afternoon-tea was recently held in the Muniments Room of the Leeper Library before a meeting of the Executive and Finance Committee. The Warden paid tribute to Mr Paine's pioneering work, and presented him with a gift from the College in recognition of his dedicated service.

Would you be interested to help or contribute? If so, please drop a line either to Peter Seymour (47 Murray Street, Prahran, 3181) or to the Warden.

SIR GEORGE AND LADY ROSA TURNER FELLOWSHIPS In 1958 Miss Grace Turner, daughter of Sir George Turner, sometime Premier of Victoria, bequeathed ÂŁ30,000 to provide two Fellowships for Theological study. These are awarded from time to time by the College Council and selection is made on a competitive basis with the candidates submitting two scholarly essays.

A recent Fellowship holder, the Reverend Duncan Reid, is about to set out for two years study of the Theologian Jurgen Moltmann with the master himself in Tubingen.

Another Fellowship holder, the Reverend Ivan Head, has been studying in Glasgow for the past two years and expects to return to the Diocese of Perth in a year's time. He writes as follows:

The Reverend Ivan Head "The Turner Fellowship has enabled me to continue the research that I began some two years ago in the Divinity Faculty of Glasgow University. I am studying the miracle stories in the Gospels and their significance for Christian belief.

When I was a non-resident married student at Trinity (1976-1978) I became interested in the rationality of Christian belief, in particular, whether the resurrection and the miracles constituted an 'evidence-base' for faith.

MARRIAGES Peter Clarke (1974) to Andrea Pitt in February 1983 Peter Anderson (1975) to Jeanette Fisk John F. Kennedy (1975) to Sally-Anne Martin (1976) at St. John's Toorak on 28 May 1983 Horst Imberger (tutor 1976) to Pamela Le Good in March 1983

The issue is, in part, how one evaluates apparently historical evidence about events, which, if they occurred, would themselves set the limits of historical possibility.

I began my studies with a conservative outlook that could accommodate walking on the water without too much trouble. I have reached a point where this outlook is beginning to sink under the interpretative burden that it must carry.

Even when we allow that Jesus could have done these things we are faced with the plain intention of St. Mark the Evangelist. These great miracles have virtually no effect on the disciples who apparently see them and are meant to be their beneficiaries. It is as if Glaswegian triple-glazing stands between them and Mark's Christ. So then, the miracles cannot be dis-located and made to be for us what they never were to Mark's disciples."

The first Turner Fellow was the Reverend Barry Marshall.

Others have included Harry Smythe, Peter Hughes, John Morgan, Stephen Ames, Martin O'Donovan, Hugh Jacksdn and David Oliphant.

Appeal to Science and Medical Graduates for Microscopes The College has been very well served by its tutors in the medical and science field, but is rather lacking in the provision of equipment for use in tutorials.

Mr Jeff Trahair (Tutor in Histology) is appealing to Trinity members to consider donating to the College old microscopes which could be used in tutorials and in demonstration classes.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr Jeff Trahair at the College 347-1044 or evenings 347 8930.
