Trinity College Newsletter, vol 1 no 28, August 1985

Trinity members and friends enjoy a splendid dinner in the College Dining Hall at the 1985 Annual Fleur-de-Lys Dinner.

FLEUR-DE-LYS DINNER 1985 It is an honour to reply once more — for the twelfth year in succession — to the toast to the Dear Old Coll. Thank you to Brian Loton for being willing to stand for President, and congratulations to us all for electing him by a rapid and duly manipulated democratic process! The task he undertakes is rather less daunting than organizing BHP, but the College is honoured that he has agreed to demonstrate his loyalty and affection for Trinity in this way.

A word too about his predecessor, Sir Brian Inglis. From lofty offices with Ford, he capped an outstanding career by becoming President of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys, and presiding last year over a dinner for almost 600 in a marquee on the Bulpadock, the largest Trinity gathering there has ever been.

The College Council quickly realised the potential for adding new vigour to its membership and last year co-opted Sir Brian to the Council. This year he has been added to the Building and Grounds Committee, which represents both the College Council and the Foundation, and recommends how the funds raised by the Foundation can best be spent. Thank you, Sir Brian, for what you have done and are undertaking to do for Trinity.

In looking around this gathering, I see that experiences in College are indications of our students' future lives. For instance, three young men named Hollingworth, Grant, and McKie all attended Chapel, but managed to take their eyes for a moment off the members of Janet Clarke Hall and even to utter a prayer or two! Now they are all bishops. Brian Loton and Rod Carnegie began their careers by successfully running the tote at Juttoddie! Boyd Munro showed how to beat the establishment in imaginative and novel ways by removing the favourite Juttoddie runner during the race. He accomplished this by helicopter! And what a pleasure it is to have back in the Hall, after many years, Dr. Hal Oddie himself, who with Colin Juttner in 1932 established a still vital Trinity tradition.

cheek and enjoyable performance the College students have put on of 'The Boyfriend'. The many students involved are not only having a good time, though they are (and it's infectious), they are also learning about planning, management, budgetary control, costumes, stage design, publicity, singing, choreography and acting. What is perhaps even more important, they are learning a lesson that this country badly needs to learn at present: that nothing worthwhile is achieved without sustained effort, that discipline for a worthwhile goal and working co-operatively with others is a surer route to happiness and satisfaction than any amount of self-indulgence or desire for instant gratification.

Morale in the College is high. Every nook is filled — somehow we've crammed in about 260 students in a College built for 200, so great is the demand for places.

At the administrative level there is a darker side, and we are viewing the future with some concern. As you have heard, we lost Government grants for capital works 10 years ago, and now we're losing the Federal Government's recurrent grant of $72,000 per year as well. We cannot help being nervous about the possible effects of a consumption tax, from which, it appears, there will be few exemptions. The College would not of course, gain any advantage from reductions in income tax or the abolition of sales tax, since we pay neither.

It is a pleasure to have the Fourth Warden, Dr. Robin Sharwood, here sitting directly beneath his controversial portrait. A warm welcome too to the new Principal of JCH, Mrs. Phyllis Fry. Trinity wishes her and JCH well as they prepare for their centenary next year.

About the College itself, I could speak for hours, but our indefatigable Secretary, Tony Buzzard, has begged, cajoled, and warned me to be brief. In many ways, College life is at an all-time high. To see one aspect of this for yourself, go tomorrow night at 8 p.m. to the Union Theatre in the University and see what an amazingly imaginative, sophisticated, tongue in APUBLICATIONOFTRINITYCOLLEGEWITHINTHEUNIVERSITYOFMELBOURNE Registered by Australia Post — Publication No.VBG 4336

What this all means, however, is not the extinction of the College. Too many of us are far too committed to the collegiate ideal to allow that to happen. We see the marvellous growth in understanding and confidence that most students, however shy and timid, seem to achieve in this place. At any gathering of the members of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys we can feel the overwhelming gratitude and affection that our graduates, all over the world, have for this place. It is worth a great effort to ensure that Trinity survives to enrich our Australian community, even when many people in that community have little or no understanding of the College's contribution.

Many of you have already given substantial evidence of your support by subscribing generously in time, effort and money to the Trinity College Foundation. You will all be glad to know that pledges now total $970,000 and that our first million is in sight by the end of the month.

Fleur-de-Lys Dinners are not intended, however, for fund raising. The first one took place just 100 years ago, on Trinity Monday 1885. They are intended to celebrate happy memories and deeply valued friendships. Thank you for the toast to the College. In drinking it we honour something deep within ourselves, and we pledge ourselves to see that Trinity and the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys continue for another century, Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria.

Mr. Mark Ballantine (50), Mrs. Jill Loton and Mr. Brian Loton ('50) the newly elected President of the Fleur-de-Lys with Mr. Tony Buzzard ('60), Secretary of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys.

"THE HIGHEST TRADITIONS" — The Biography of Sydney Fancourt McDonald

by John Pearn — reviewed by the Reverend Alfred Bird, College Archivist.

Sydney Fancourt McDonald (Trinity 1905-09) belongs to the generation which was overshadowed by the two world wars of the 20th Century and which produced men of remarkable and perhaps unique achievement. He was a paediatrician who played an important part in the development of his own special study and in the Medical Faculty of the University of Queensland. He was also a soldier. He served as a medical officer with the Royal Army Medical Corps in France from 1914-19, and in the 1939-45 war he held the rank of Group Captain, RAAF, having overall responsibility for the medical organisation in Queensland. He also flew to Papua New Guinea in 1943. This biography is a tribute to a man who could be described quite truthfully as a scholar and a gentleman, an expert clinician and a dedicated physician, who played an important part in the medico-political life of Queensland, a lover of books and literature, and an accomplished speaker. He contributed numerous articles on paediatrics and on military medicine. Strangely enough he received no civil honour, perhaps because he died at the early age of 62, but in his own profession he found recognition. In 1940 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London. He was a Foundation Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.

Dr. Pearn has produced a very well documented and lavishly illustrated biography which must be of great interest to the medical profession and of no less interest to the general reader, for this is a fascinating picture of a remarkable man.

The diaries which he kept up so conscientiously when he was serving in field hospitals in France have given the biographer vivid source material. To Trinity men the valuable account of his life in College 1905-09 and his activities in the University of Melbourne add a special interest and make this book a useful addition to the College archives.

HOW YOU CAN HELP It is the hope of the Executive Committee of the Foundation that all members of the Trinity family, and also people not directly associated with the College, will wish to help with the on-going work of the Foundation. You are urged to commit yourself now to making a donation over a suggested period of five years.

Those interested in doing so should contact the Chairman of the Foundation, Mr. John Gourlay (Ph. 602 1666) or the Warden, Dr. Evan Burge, or the Executive Officer of the Foundation, Miss Angela Mackie, at the College (Ph. 347 1044).

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Although the Executive Committee is very pleased with the results to date, it should be noted that the total number of people who have given to the Foundation stands at 264 whereas members of the Trinity family number 4,000. The Executive Committee is wanting to extend this support and is doing so by means of personal approach.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE OLD COLL. All donations to the Foundation are fully tax-deductible.

FOUNDATION'S MESSAGE TAKEN TO TASMANIA In June of this year the Foundation decided to take the message of the Foundation to Trinity members and friends in Tasmania.

Tasmanian members responded enthusiastically and to date over $12,000 has been raised in pledges and more is expected.

The Warden Dr. Evan L. Burge, a former Tasmanian and member of the Executive Committee Mr. Barrie Purvis, and the Executive Officer Miss Angela Mackie travelled first to Launceston where a dinner had been organized by Dr. John Morris ('48). Amongst those who attended were Dr. John Morris ('48) and his wife Judy, Dr. John Williams ('50) and Mr. Noel Robinson ('63); parents of current students included Mr. Ken Von Bibra, Mr. Keith Adkins, Mr. T.J. Hogg, Mr. & Mrs. R.W. Eccleston and Mr. & Mrs. N.G. Shaddock.

The Warden and the Executive Officer left by car the next day for Hobart with Barrie Purvis providing an excellent running commentary on historical points of interest interpreted with the insight of a local!

Mr. Barrie Purvis ('52), a former Tasmanian, discusses the progress of the Foundation with Mr. Noel Robinson (63) and Mr. Ken Von Bibra whose son Julian is currently studying at Trinity.

About halfway through their journey they called in at Ken Von Bibr창 s beautiful property "Beaufront" where they had been invited for morning tea, after which they inspected the famous Ross Bridge before continuing to Hobart.

The dinner in Hobart had been organized by Dr. John Freeman ('57) and the guests covered a wide range of years from Mr. C. Harry Grant ('25) and Mr. Francis CumbraeStewart ('26) to Miss Rachel Denham ('80) who has only been out of College for two years. Philip Newell ('58) the Bishop of Hobart, and Geoffrey Stephens ('58) and Desmond McDonnell ('78) made up the ecclesiastical representatives while the fifties were represented by John Freeman ('58) and his wife Jill, Henry Foster ('55) and his wife Rosemary and John James ('50) and his wife Jane. The forties were represented by John Hunn ('45) and Beverley and Helen and Bill Joske ('46) whose aunt was of course the Miss Joske from J.C.H.! Michael Cooper ('73) and Elizabeth, and David Thompson ('79) made up the group from the seventies. Parents were also represented: Mrs. W. Balfour-Ogilvy was accompanied by her daughter Kate whose sister Jessica is currently at Trinity; and Mr. & Mrs. Rod Watkins whose daughters Gillian and Jane are both in Trinity, all enjoyed a splendid evening.

The Chairman of the Foundation, Mr. John Gourlay, flew in from Melbourne for the dinner in Hobart and addressed the gathering prior to the showing of the audio-visual, affectionately known as the "Warden's Road-Show". This provided up-to-date information on the happenings in Trinity and the progress of the Foundation.

The Warden shares a joke with the organising committee for the Hobart dinner.

Both dinners were splendid Trinity gatherings and it is hoped that a Fleur-de-Lys dinner will be arranged in Tasmania for 1986.

TWO NEW FELLOWS country field, the stream of incoming traffic preventing any escape over the cattle ramp!

The College Council recently appointed two new Fellows of the College, Mr. James Guest and Mr. Peter Jones.

'Jock' Behan (whose life work, the Behan Wing, had just been opened) was an austere Warden. He had banned the Buttery and dehydrated Trinity men had to make their way to Johnnie Naughton's.

Present Fellows of the College are: Dame Margaret Blackwood Sir John Bunting Emeritus Professor Sir Joseph Burke Sir Roderick Carnegie Professor Manning Clark Sir Rupert Clarke Mr. Alan Cuthbertson Professor Peter Dennison The Right Reverend James Grant Mr. James Guest Sir Rupert Hamer Dr. John Hueston Mr. Peter J ones Professor John Poynter Dr. Robin Sharwood Professor A.G.L. Shaw Sir Reginald Sholl The Right Reverend Sir Frank Woods

Memorable medical tutors were Clive Fitts (who was in residence) and Jackie Turner, who tutored in Anatomy and

James Stuart Guest AM, OBE, VRD was born 1916 in Mildura,

both his parents being from pioneer families in that fruit growing area.

His secondary education was completed at Geelong Grammar and in 1935 he came up to the University to read Science with a major interest in Zoology. He later transferred to Medicine on the advice of Professor Wood Jones.

He spent 6 years in College and was Senior Student in 1940.

He was an enthusiastic oarsman, becoming Captain of Boats and gaining his rowing Blue. He rowed in four Trinity Eights (including the winning 1938 and 1939 crews) and in three University Boats, with wins in 1939 and 1940.

The pre-war years were lively times to be an undergraduate, and he remembers many major 'lurks', such as the disappearance of the Janet Clarke Hall Gates; and on a misty wet Sunday night, the diversion of city bound traffic along Sydney Road into the Bulpadock (by the simple expedient of altering the position of a road block and a traffic sign!). This resulted in many furious motorists trapped in what appeared to be a

Surgery. (In the 1950's Guest himself enjoyed some years of tutoring in the same subjects in his old College.)

Trinity too, was where his continuing friendships were made: particularly he thinks of his 'wife' David Kimpton, who remained until his death four years ago, literally a life long friend. . . .

In 1972 Guest first revisited Ambon as Surgeon with the Gull Force Medical Aid team; he has continued to make annual visits there. This programme, initiated by the survivors of the 1/21st Battalion who had been decimated on Ambon in January, 1942, has provided a strong link and an increased understanding between some Australians and a near Asian neighbour.

His interest in comparative anatomy and in animals often led during his Trinity years to visits to the Zoo. (This was to lead many years later, to his becoming a Foundation Member and first President of the Friends of the Zoos Society).

In early 1943 he was called up for service in the Royal Australian Navy and for the next three years he served at sea in H.M.A.S. Westralia, a ship engaged in amphibious operations and involved in landings in New Britain, New Guinea, the Philippines and Borneo. His OBE was awarded after one of these landings.

In 1968 he became a member of the Cancer Institute — Peter MacCallum Hospital Board, and its Chairman in 1983.

Now that his 'cutting' days are over, this Board and that of the Brockhoff Foundation occupy quite a large part of his life vetting applications for grants.

Though his practice has changed it continues to occupy and interest him. So, too do his children. None of them followed him into Trinity but times and traditions change.

After the defeat of Japan he made two visits to Ambon and this had important repercussions in later life.

Having obtained a Gordon Craig Travelling Fellowship he sailed for England and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1949.

This became very apparent in December last when, with his wife he attended the Service of the Nine Lessons and Carols, and listened to the beautiful singing of the Trinity Choir, something unheard, and unheard of (!), in the 30's.

In London he met and married Simonette, daughter of Judge Macindoe and a one time 'outpatient' at J.C.H.

In response to a final question he felt "that in this and many other ways Trinity continues to provide for her sons and daughters a lively and enriching experience".

He returned to Australia and from 1952 to 1976 he was an.

Honorary Surgeon at the Alfred Hospital. He was active in the

good preparation for retirement only two or three years away, left-wing tax reformers willing!"

Peter Jones was born and bred in Melbourne, educated at Melbourne Grammar (1930-1939) and graduated MBBS from Melbourne University in 1945. He was a resident at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and Registrar (1945-47) with a brief but pleasant flirtation with the Royal Hobart Hospital in 1946. In 1948 he was awarded the first Cleveland Fellowship (1948-9) instituted by the home hospital (Lakeside-Western Reserve University Hospital) which in the olive-green of the 4th U.S. Army Medical Corps occupied the Royal Melbourne Hospital during World War II.

His current commitments are Vice-President of the Medical Defence Association of Victoria, a Councillor of the Australian College of Paediatrics and Federal President of the Australian Association of Surgeons (until September 1985).

He is looking forward to enjoying the company and conversation 'in Hall' at Trinity, and still enjoys teaching (and surprising) medical students almost more than anything else.

From Cleveland he went on to London, (FRCS) and postgraduate training in London ( "Great Ormond Street") and Cambridge (Addenbrooke's Hospital 1952-3) before returning to a staff position at the old Royal Children's Hospital ('Great Pelham St") and later at Parkville. During those years he acquired the FRACS, FACS and MS (Melb.) and wrote three text books, one of which is about to go into its third edition ("Clinical Paediatric Surgery"). Having been Chairman of Staff at the RCH (1970, 1977), and President of the Australian Association of Paediatric Surgeons (1980-81) he was made an Honorary Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (1980).

As an "out-patient" at Trinity (1940-45) he has always had a deep regard for the College, and taken great pleasure in the role of 'non-resident tutor in paediatric surgery since 1954 by which he has kept in touch with the College and greatly enjoyed the residents' graduation dinners. Someone who knows him well has described him as "intoxicated with words", a not inaccurate description which may account for a number of invitations which threaten to make him a "commemorative orator" (Swift Oration, Adelaide 1971; Gibson-Turner Lecture, Brisbane 1967; Clubbe Oration, Sydney 1980; Vernon Collins Lecture, Melbourne 1983; Harry Windsor Lecture, Sydney 1985). He has been the editor of Chiron since 1981.

Being married to a child psychiatrist, and having six now grown-up children has something to do with keeping one foot on the ground, as well as respect for the next generation! His interests have been distinctly non-athletic (apart from snorkelling 'on the reef', and marine ecology) chiefly photography, and reading heraldry and history. According to his children, one of his closest friends is a certain Dr. Lopez who died in the sixteenth century, but their father is not yet aware of it! In due course a quasi-biography of Lopez may emerge as a Ph.D. thesis, but "even if he doesn't, its been fun knowing him, and

QUEEN ELIZABETH II TRUST FORUM HELD AT TRINITY The Queen Elizabeth II Trust held recently at Trinity College "Future Perspectives — a Forum for Young People" which brought together 100 delegates in their mid-twenties who had shown leadership potential to hear the views of leading Australians on issues facing this country.

The objectives of the Queen Elizabeth II Trust, established in 1977 to pay tribute to 25 years reign by Her Majesty can be summed up in the following words: "To help young Australians to help themselves, so that they in turn can help others". The Trust does this by making grants either directly to young people or to organizations which assist them enabling them to carry out specific studies or projects. It also arranges an annual National Capital Seminar in Canberra for 100 of the brightest Year 11 students from secondary schools around Australia.

Amongst the distinguished Australians present at the recent conference were various Trinity people including Mr. Peter Mitchell ('56) the Victorian Chairman of the Trust and Chair-

Mr. Peter Mitchell ('56)

man of the Management Committee of the Forum. He explained that the purpose of the Forum was not to provide answers but to encourage discussion of the issues now facing Australia among a wide variety of people.

Two other Trinity men Mr. Denis Cordner ('46) former consulgeneral in New York and Chairman of the Forum, and Bishop Peter Hollingworth ('55) were amongst those who addressed the conference. Other speakers included Sir Arvi Parbo, chairman of the Western Mining Corporation; Bill Kelty, secretary of the ACTU; John Stone, former secretary to the Treasury; Dame Roma Mitchell, chairwoman of the Human Rights Commission; Sir Tony Synnot, former chief of the Defence Force; and Professor Dame Leonie Kramer.

The Forum did not set out to solve the problems, and what it did achieve can perhaps be best summarised in the words of an army officer taking part: "Forums like this have brought a sense of comradeship back to 100 members who represent a wide section of the Australian community" .. . and has shown that "general consensus is possible".

Mr. Denis Cordner. ('46)

Bishop Peter Hollingworth ('55)

MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING AUSTRALIA In his opening address at the 'Future Perspectives' Forum Sir John Holland highlighted the following as needing serious attention: — The horrific, social, humane and economic implications of unemployment particularly youth unemployment.

— The unauthorised and profound influence in the affairs of the nation by extreme militancy and selfishness of a few trade unions.

— The unethical practices of a few corrupt commercial organisations, particularly in the field of tax evasion.

— As a nation and as individuals we are living beyond our means. In other words we are spending more than we earn. The wages and benefits we receive do not bear a direct relationship with productivity. This year the Commonwealth Government will pay an interest bill amounting to nearly 9% of total budget outlay. And it is growing rapidly.

— The major structural change in the Australian economy during the last ten years has been due to the massive growth in government expenditure. The Government share of expenditure at all levels has grown from 32%ito42% of G.D.P. What do we do about it?

— Our reputation as a reliable supplier to our major trading partners has been damaged.

— Our high cost structure has reduced our ability to compete internationally and is a disincentive to investment.

— Then it is so sad that in a land of plenty there should be so much poverty.

— The depressing effects of increasing drug dependency.

— An increasing crime rate.

— A growing disregard for law and authority.

— The nonchalent attitude to the proven values of courtesy, discipline, integrity and fair play.

— Problems resulting from the over-regulated society.

— The appalling standards of education. It is a blot on the education process that so many of our young people can neither read, write nor do simple arithmetic.

— The high cost of modern medical care, particularly with exotic treatments, and consequent reduction in funds for preventive medicine.

— In the field of defence, we are a large country with a long coast line and few people. Not only are strategic problems created by these dimensions, but the high cost of modern machines of war create tremendous financial burdens for all of us.

— There is a growing obsession with materialism and there are disturbing trends towards a more hedonistic way of life.

All that adds up to a rather sobering picture. However, while I have set out some of the problems, I do not wish to create an atmosphere of gloom, disillusionment or apathy. Indeed Australia is still the greatest country in the world. Certainly there is not any room for apathy for as Kenneth Clarke, in his "Greater Civilisations" stated,'... apathy and disillusion will destroy a society as aptly as bombs dropped from the sky...'
