The Service for the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors held in the College at the beginning of May.

COMMEMORATION OF FOUNDERS AND BENEFACTORS FRIENDS OF TRINITY The Annual Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors was recently celebrated in the College Chapel.

The service, led by the Dean and Chaplain, the Reverend Dr. Peter Wellock, was attended by about 80 members of the College who were privileged to hear the Trinity College Choir under the direction of Mr. Bruce Macrae.

The Warden recalled those who had founded the College to provide an academically and spiritually uplifting environment, and their vision and hard work was indeed reflected and rewarded in the beautiful singing provided by the Choir.

The Choir now sings Evensong twice weekly during term time and Trinity members and friends are warmly invited to attend these services held every Monday and Wednesday at 5.30 p.m.

GALA FLEUR-DE-LYS DINNER Late in March 712 Trinity members and friends gathered in the Bulpadock for what was the largest gathering of former residents ever held at the College The occasion was the Annual Fleur-de-Lys Dinner, presided over

by Mr. Brian Loton.

The Governor of Victoria and former Master of Ormond College, His Excellency the Reverend Dr. Davis McCaughey, addressed the guests and proposed the toast to the College: Mr. President, Warden, Ladies and Gentlemen, You do me great honour, and give my wife and me great pleasure in inviting us to be here this evening.

You took some risk in inviting a former Master of Ormond at the end of the week in which the inter-Collegiate boat race took place.

No doubt you expected to be able to keep me humble tonight by having recorded a victory. The contrary is the case, although your crew certainly tried hard.

This visit tonight is for us somewhat nostalgic, especially as you link it with the invitation to unveil the portraits of Ron Cowan and of the present Warden Evan Burge. It has been our pleasure and a great enrichment to our lives to have known the friendship of 3 Wardens of Trinity—Cowan, Sharwood and Burge.

When my wife and family of five children arrived in Melbourne in 1953 to live in the Ormond College grounds, Ron Cowan was already Warden of Trinity, and we shall never forget the warmth of welcome and kindliness with which we were greeted by the Cowan family. There weren't many families with children living around College Crescent in those days, but there were some here and in the vicinity; and the Cowans made sure that those children and their parents were a congenial community. Many recollect with pleasure Guy Fawkes Night at the Warden's Lodge in Trinity. These were extraordinarily happy days; and it was our privilege to share in them. We came strangers to Melbourne, and soon found ourselves among friends in the community of the Colleges and the life of the University.

When in 1959 I became Master of Ormond, Ron Cowan was my mentor in many things. I knew—and I think other Heads of

Colleges knew—that I had only to pick up the telephone to ask his advice and be given wise if sometimes disconcerting counsel. I remember on one occasion receiving the reply 'I do not know what you do in those circumstances, but I can tell you all the things not to do; for I've tried them and they failed.' There was never anything defensive his attitude. He knew that Trinity was the best College about, and he did not have to pretend otherwise.

In those days the four heads of the oldest men's Colleges—Trinity, Ormond, Queen's and Newman—dined together once a term in rotation in each other's Colleges, and settled the affairs of the Colleges over suitable beverages in the Lodge afterwards. We were male chauvinists. We never thought, or rarely thought, of consulting, much less of inviting, our women colleagues.

Only in the old Dining Hall of Queen's were speeches made. There on one occasion it was the turn of the Rector of Newman, Fr. Gleeson, to reply to the welcome by the Master of Queen's, Dr. Johnson. The Rector said to the assembled Queensmen. 'On those frequent occasions on which my College is victorious over your College on the sporting field your Master sometimes accuses me of using supernatural means to achieve this end. I want to assure you that that is untrue because it is unnecessary.'

I did for just a moment wonder tonight whether Trinity had allowed Ormond to beat them on the river as an act of courtesy to me. Then it occurred to me that that wouldn't be true for it wouldn't be necessary.

The moral of these reflections is clear. The Colleges of the University have been strong when they have stood together. They have been happy when, inside the healthy rivalry, they have helped each other. The University has welcomed the Colleges and honoured their place when—as with successive Wardens of Trinity—the Heads of those Colleges have cared not only about their own wellbeing but also that of the University. Ron Cowan knew that and played a notable part in the planning of Monash University as well; Robin Sharwood knew that and continues to serve the University through its Law School and its Graduate Union; Evan Burge knows that, and sets us all an example of a continuing scholarly commitment.

I hope that all good Trinity men and women know that; and that in a day when it is fashionable to decry intellectual pursuits, and when the words 'University' and 'student' and indeed 'College' are not honoured as they should be, there are present in the community men and women who know that the things for which the Colleges and the University of Melbourne stand are immensely precious, that the word 'academic' does not mean abstract and irrelevant, but stands for the integrity which will always honour the truth above a lie, the worthwhile above the shoddy, and that there is more to professional life than a congenial way of making money: that it is an opportunity to put a trained mind at the service of the community. I wish you all well in your continued support of and loyalty to Trinity College.

William Cowan, son of the third Warden of the College, Dr. Ronald Cowan, views the portrait of his father, unveiled at the recent Gala Fleur-de-Lys Dinner.

Following his address His Excellency unveiled two portraits recently donated to the College.

The first was that of the third Warden, Ronald William Trafford Cowan, by Peter Zageris. In contrasting style was the portrait of the present Warden, Evan Laurie Burge, by Clifton Pugh.

Both portraits were well received by the guests and are now hanging in the College Dining Hall.

SIR FRANK WOODS' EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION On 9 April, a few days after Sir Frank's eightieth birthday, a special choral evensong was held in a crowded chapel, followed by a dinner in Hall. During the service, Dr. John Wright was inducted by Archbishop David Penman as the first Frank Woods Lecturer in Theology. At the dinner, the Governor, Dr. J. Davis McCaughey, officially launched a book of Sir Frank's addresses and sermons.

This was followed by a number of other fine speeches, culminating in a wonderful reply by Sir Frank himself, who enjoyed the long evening hugely. One of the things which most delighted him was the broad ecumenical representation at both the service and the dinner. The following is from the Warden's address at the service:

"Truly, truly I say to you, whoever receives anyone whom I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the One who sent me." John 13:20.

Our text comes from the passage where St John describes how Jesus girded himself with a towel and washed the feet of his disciples. Next Thursday night, in this Chapel, as in many other churches, there will be a solemn commemoration of the Last Supper, including a re-enactment of the Lord's example of humble service. We will be reminded that the one we revere as Lord and teacher is always ready to kneel before us as a humble servant, and he bids us wash one another's feet. From this still radically disturbing perspective, the greatest title of the Pope is not Pontifex Maximus, an ascription too redolent of the imperial glories of ancient Rome, but rather servus servorum Dei: the servant of the servant of God. "Whoever would be first among you", says Jesus in action as in word, "must be your servant."

Our text suggests a further point. We are called not only to actions, to lives of humble service, but also to have the humility to receive as well as to give. Peter said to Jesus, "You shall never wash my feet".

Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no pa rt in me."

In our text which occurs a few verses later, we are promised—most solemnly—that whoever receives anyone whom Jesus sends receives him, and not Jesus only, but the One who sent him. And that, astonishing though it may seem, is nothing less than a sharing in the eternal life and love of God. During this octave, as it were, of Frank's birthday, we are all conscious of how much we have received, and still receive, from God through Frank's being just who and what he is. I do not want to dwell on his virtues—he would find it embarrassing and would probably think I was talking about someone else. And I shall resist the temptation to point out to him that Moses was eighty when he first confronted Pharoah. On behalf of us all, I would like to wish him the ancient Hebrew birthday greeting 'ad me 'a v'esrim, that is, that he should live, like Moses, to 120—provided, of course, that he keeps his present youthful vigour of spirit and mind, "that his eye is not dim, and his natural force is not abated."

In establishing the Frank Woods lectureship within the Trinity Theological School, and in appointing John Wright to be the first lecturer, we wanted to honour not so much the man, Frank Woods, for whom we have such admiration and affection, but even more the values to which his life, by God's grace, has been a constant witness.

First among these, is the importance of prayer and service. His is a sane and down-to-earth spirituality, which cares little for outward show or conventional piety, but everything for responding willingly to God's call in Jesus. This response is the service which is perfect freedom. It is the fruit, not necessarily of human talents—gifts for administration, inspiring leadership, a powerful intellect and so on, all good and desirable things—but of things of far greater account, the gifts of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. And these are given to those who have let themselves be washed by the Lord and have responded by washing the feet of others. Those who in turn receive this humble service from the Lord's disciples thereby receive Christ and the ever-loving, ever-faithful Father who sent him. May our new lecturer teach as a servant, one who serves Jesus and the One who sent him, one who serves his students and one who serves his scholarly discipline. And in that way, those who receive this service from John Wright's hands and lips and mind will receive also the gift of the divine life in Christ.

A second quality appropriate for a Frank Woods lecturer is a whole-hearted devotion to the study of the Holy Scriptures. The manner of this will not be a literal-minded credulity which substitutes idolatry of the written word for a creative engagement with the living God. Rather, it will call for critical intelligence, linguistic scholarship of a high order, and the sympathetic imagination and insight to enter into times and cultures very different from our own. These things are necessary for a biblical lecturer and scholar, but they are not enough. The student of the Bible must keep an alert heart and mind, an eager expectancy that the God, who spoke through Moses and the prophets and supremely through Jesus Christ, is also speaking to him or her through the word written, studied, and proclaimed.

A Frank Woods lecturer then, by God's grace rather than natural endowment, will have two qualities: a down-to-earth spirit of prayerful service and a lively expectation that God will speak through the intelligent and imaginative study of the holy scriptures.

To these we must add a third—an ecumenical spirit which is profoundly linked with the notion that the disciples not only receive and then serve, but are also sent. In our text, Jesus speaks of "the One who sent me". The words "mission" and "apostolate" reflect, from Latin and Greek respectively this important notion that we are commissioned and empowered to do God's work because we are sent, just as Jesus knew himself to be sent by his Father. Let us recall the words which are found only a few chapters later in St John's Gospel. Jesus prays to his Father for his disciples, as the cross casts its shadow before him: "As thou didst send me into the world,

so I have sent them into the world. I do not pray for these only, But also for those who believe in me through their word, that they all may be one, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me" A Frank Woods lecturer, like any disciple who prays in the spirit of Christ, will be able to do the work he is called to do, because he knows deep down that he is sent to do it by Jesus who was himself sent by God. In knowing this, the true apostle never lacks motivation or the grace to persevere. He—or she—also knows fellowship with the many others who are also sent by the one God through the one Christ. To build or maintain barriers between Christians is to refuse to say Amen to the prayer of our great high priest. And at the human level, in the teaching and studying of theology it is simply arrogant folly to think that any church or group can ignore the insight of other Christians—because their source, if authentic, is the one Christ.

Prayerfully serving, biblical, ecumenical—these are three ideals we honour tonight. We honour them because we have all received Frank Woods as one sent by the Lord Jesus. And we rejoice, because that same Lord Jesus promised us: Truly, truly I say to you, whoever receives anyone whom I send receives me and whoever receives me receives the One who sent me.

GEOFFREY WINTHROP LEEPER (5 March 1903-15 December 1986) Geoffrey Leeper entered Trinity in 1921 and became one of our most academically distinguished graduates. He played the Chapel organ regularly for many years. It was therefore fitting that he was buried from the Chapel, which was built during the last few years of his father's time as Warden. The service was conducted by the present Warden, and attended by many senior members of the University. The following tribute was given by a colleague, Professor Norman Tulloh.

Geoffrey Leeper was the son of Dr Alexander Leeper, the first Warden of Trinity College and, for the most of his life, Geoffrey was associated with the University of Melbourne.

He graduated in Science in 1924 and obtained a Master's degree in 1926. After a period at the Rowett Research Institute, Scotland, he returned to this University in 1930 as a Research Fellow in Soil Chemistry on Professor S. M. Wadham's staff in the School of Agriculture. In those days, Professor Wadham, Geoffrey Leeper and the late Gilbert H. Vasey (Agricultural Engineering) were the only full-time staff in the School and the three of them worked together as a team for over a quarter of a century. In 1934, Geoffrey was appointed as a Lecturer and he progressed through the ranks of Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor, and finally Professor, occupying the newly-created Chair of Agricultural Chemistry in 1962. On his retirement in 1969, he became a Professor Emeritus.

It is now sixty years since Geoffrey developed his interest in the chemistry of manganese. During this period, his work on this trace element and other heavy metals in soils and plants established his international reputation as a scientist. His other particular research interest was in soil classification and he was also distinguished for his work in this field. He published widely and one of his books, 'An Introduction to Soil Science', which was first printed in 1946, is still used as a text by students in Australia. His final contribution is a book which is about to appear called 'Forest Soils and Nutrient Cycling' in which he shares authorship with Dr Peter M. Attiwell of the Botany School.

Geoffrey will be remembered best, however, as a scholar and as a teacher. It was a tradition in his family that the Leepers studied Greek and Latin and Geoffrey was no exception. He was a fine musician and he loved to play the piano and the organ but, in recent years, he preferred the softer clavichord in his flat where, I am told, he often played the music of J. S. Bach. Agricultural Chemistry was always regarded as a hard subject when taught by Geoffrey, although he was a superb lecturer. He had a profound effect on his students but, curiously, we remember him more for what he taught

us about logic and the use of English than about Chemistry. In the School of Agriculture, he also taught Statistics and Climatology with equal skill. He took a delight in debunking the misuse of data; for example, the proposition that our climate had changed significantly in recent decades.

Geoffrey did not have many postgraduate students. As a supervisor, he was essentially a teacher for those who were gifted and willing to be interested. He was concerned only with excellence in science and he regarded quality of work as far more important than quantity.

Geoffrey's own interests in English were expressed by his writings and also by editing various books and scientific journals which included, among others, the Proceedings of ANZAAS, of the Royal Society of Victoria (of which he was a former President) and of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (of which he was an Honorary Life Fellow). He was also a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science and a former President of its Victorian Branch.

Within the University, Geoffrey's interests knew no bounds and, as a former member of Meanjin's Advisory Panel, he was well known in literary circles. He worked enthusiastically for both the Melbourne University Staff Association and for our staff club, University House.

He was a challenging person who enjoyed nothing better than a serious discussion and he strongly defended the importance of destructive criticism. He had a memory that was almost photographic which, among other things, made him a powerful opponent at bridge. I think that the students were genuinely scared of him because of his knowledge and ability in so many things, and only a few who got to know him well in later years overcame this attitude; nevertheless he was greatly admired by all of them.

Geoffrey was a shy and gentle man who never sought the limelight.

However, when he did have to perform on great occasions, he did so with all the skill, pomp and circumstance that the occasion demanded. Beneath his shyness, some undergraduates found great kindness and some of them owe their success to the special help he gave them.

Geoffrey Leeper was an academic of whom the University can be proud. He had a strong character and he held firm convictions on important issues. He was a man of high intellect, but, above all, he was a man of integrity. He will be remembered with affection by the large number of people who came under his influence.

Deaths of College Members The College records with regret the deaths of the following members reported since the last edition of the Newsletter: Dr. Sydney Plowman (1918) Professor Emeritus Geoffrey Winthrop Leeper (1921) Geoffrey Roland Norwood (1922) Alfred Henry Randell Champion (1928) Griffith James Nicholas Hopkins (1928) Selwyn James Harbison (1930) John Patrick Millar (1930) Roderick Cods Barrett (1931) Louis Carew Voumard (1935) Donald William Hardy (1949) Robert Ian Rex (1967) Elizabeth Catherine Barnard (1981)

From the Warden's Report to the College Council, May 1987 Union of the Fleur-de-Lys There have been two Fleur-de-Lys dinners this year—a Gala Dinner for 650 people in a marquee on the Bulpadock on 20 March and a dinner in Canberra attended by 30 people on 29 April. The former was the third of its kind in recent years and the most successful to date. His Excellency the Governor, Dr. J. Davis McCaughey, was the guest speaker and unveiled portraits of Ronald Cowan and the present Warden. Clifton Pugh gave an unscheduled speech about the latter, as well as a donation of $2000 towards the College's fire protection requirements. This was supplemented by a further $1000 from Sir Andrew Grimwade. The success of the dinner was due not only to the Mr. Buzzard's enthusiasm, the support of Mr. Brian Loton (who was re-elected as President of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys), and the work of several members of the Committee, but to the heroic labours of Miss Clare Wells on the telephone and computer, and the superb organisation of Mr. Don Leane and the College staff. The excellent catering was all done by our own department. A small expected profit was eliminated by the cool wet weather, which necessitated hiring an extra tent at the last minute. This did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the large and diverse crowd of diners.

The Canberra dinner was organised by Mr. Robert Todd. It was a happy affair attended by Mr. Buzzard and the Warden, Sir John and Lady Bunting, and twenty-six others.

A Fleur-de-Lys Dinner is being organized by Mr. Chris Roper in Sydney later this year on 27 November, with Warwick Ross, Producer of "The Young Einstein" as guest speaker.

Student Life Student life in first term has been as vigorous as ever. In sport we have been reasonably successful with premierships in women's tennis and men's soccer. In swimming and athletics our teams performed well. The Trinity men won most of the track events in athletics but needed more skill in the field events. The men rowers, with a fine new boat named after the late Tim Ross-Edwards, were defeated by Ormond in both the heats and the final—as the Governor noted at the Fleur-de-Lys Dinner. The women, with less experience, tried hard and were rewarded with a victory in the seconds. The Music Society has provided two enjoyable and well-attended concerts; and the Dialectic Society a series of Sunday night poetry readings.

Many students were involved in preparations for the College plays (two one-act absurdist dramas: "The Bald Prima Donna" by Ionesco and "After Magritte" by Tom Stoppard presented in the Guild Theatre at the end of first term). The musical "Chicago" will be staged in second term. There have also been two major College dinners: The Commencement Dinner on 11 March and a subscription dinner sponsored by the TCAC on the Wednesday after Easter. Both were highly enjoyable.

The Senior Common Room The resident tutors are rejoicing in the handsomely refurbished Senior Common Room. There are plans to issue a small newsletter and to hold wine-tastings in order to involve the wider membership of the SCR in the on-going life of the College.

The Senior Common Room has sponsored two excellent Trinity Seminars for the College during the term: a thought-provoking paper by Dr. Robin Sharwood on Captain Cook's annexation of New South Wales and the legal, religious and philosophical assumptions behind his instructions and his interpretation of them, and an enjoyable reading and discussion of some aspects of the poetry of Cavafy by visiting scholar Dr. David Holton.

Faculty Dinners After being a dream for some years, a series of Faculty Dinners was launched in Trinity on 1 April. Mrs. Leith Hancock, our Director of Studies, is responsible for the organization, which includes setting up a small committee of students and tutors for each dinner. In honour of the centenary of the Faculty of Science, our inaugural Faculty Dinner was a Science Dinner, attended by a large

proportion of our science students and tutors, both resident and non-resident, and a good selection of staff members from the University. The dinner, attended by about 70 in all, took place in the JCR and was addressed by Professor Opat from the Physics Department. It was enjoyable and considered well worthwhile by those who attended. Other Faculty Dinners are planned during the remainder of the year, as well as a Law Dinner in July.

Building Operations The residents of Cowan and especially Jeopardy have been subject to a good deal of disturbance through the current building works, but there have been few complaints. The construction of the tutor flats at the tennis court end of Jeopardy appears to be on schedule and they should be ready for occupancy towards the end of June.

Progress is slower with the Jeopardy bathrooms. The top floor is close to completion but nothing has been done on the other two floors. The Tutors' bathrooms in Cowan are well advanced and should be ready at about the same time as the flats.

Development Plan for the Grounds Mrs. Megan Hamer and Mr. Jeremy Pike have prepared a comprehensive written report and finished drawings. It is expected that the entrance to the Chapel will be established in a worthy form by early October when we gather to give thanks for the restoration of the Chapel fabric and the new bell is rung for the first time. A new entrance path to the University will also be established.

Trinity Research Group It has come to our attention that some sections of the Victorian Government as well as private firms are interested in employing capable students for short-time research projects. As a pilot project, the current senior student, Andrew Moyle, was recently engaged part-time by Touche Ross for one month to enquire into aspects of the hotel industry's provision In Melbourne for Chinese and Japanese tourists. The College has now set up a Research Group committee to bring together employers and suitable students. The advantages of such a scheme are not only the financial benefit to the student but even more establishing a bridge between student life and the work place.

Academic Visitors Thanks largely to Dr. John Adamson's involvement in the University's History Department, Trinity has been joint sponsor with that Department of two notable public lectures by eminent historians, Lord Dacre (Hugh Trevor Roper) and Christopher Hill.

The latter stayed in the College for several days, and both were given evening receptions in the Senior Common Room to which a number of students, tutors and members of the University staff were invited. Lord Dacre came to Australia as an academic visitor to St. John's College, University of Queensland.

Fire Regulations Although the scope of the necessary fire precaution works, to a value of $600,000 over five years, has been tentatively agreed between the College, the City Council, and the Fire Brigade, the College has not yet submitted a proposed implementation schedule, as we are expected to do, because there are no funds available for the purpose. A submission has been made on behalf of the Colleges to the Universities Council with the support of the University but I have no expectation of financial assistance from either the Federal or State Governments. There may be a slight hope of relief from the most expensive provisions, especially automatic sprinklering, if the other necessary provisions are implemented and a high-level conference of interested parties can persuade the policy makers that sprinklers are not necessary. Our present thermal detectors can summon the Fire Brigade within five minutes. I think we shall have to persuade nearly all our parents to contribute $600 per year to the Foundation if we are to overcome this enormous problem.
