A VINTAGE YEAR If we had carried off the Cowan Cup and the Holmes Shield, 1988 would have been as close to perfect as any Warden or Senior Student could expect. We did come a very close second in the Cowan Cup, and some of the sports teams who saw victory narrowly elude their grasp—cricket, men's and women's rowing, rugby, soccer and football come to mind—can be proud of their dedicated efforts and of never giving up. Their cumulative effect is that we can be proud of our sporting reputation and set about capturing,the premiership next year with renewed confidence.
For me, two days of double triumph this year symbolise the variety and spirit of the whole College as well as the gifts of the people involved. One was the Wednesday in first term when David Studdert led our men's athletics team to a well-deserved premiership and that very evening scored a dramatic triumph as Puck in Federay Holmes' remarkable production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The other was also a Wednesday—this time at the end of second term—when David Guthrie scored the winning goal in the hockey final and that evening was accorded a standing ovation at the Senior Student's Dinner for his enlightened leadership of our student community for the previous year.
Watching the succession of students, both women and men, coming to receive their cups and pewters at the Valedictory Dinner, I could not help reflecting what a wonderfully gifted and delightful group of students we have. That, above all, is what has made the year so special. The Dialectic Society, the Music Society, the Art Show, the Dramatic Society, the Musical "Cabaret"—all have been vigorous, pursuing high standards, and hugely enjoyable. Sarah Larkins, Louise Dunn, Elise Wilkinson, James Ramsden and Amanda Crawley come to mind as giving special leadership in these areas, but they could hardly have done so well if they had not received magnificent backing from so many others. In music and drama Trinity is now far ahead of any other College—a fact of considerable significance when it comes to recruiting new students.
by the Warden The College has been blessed with a run of first-rate Senior Students and T.C.A.C. Committees and 1988 was no exception. No doubt it is high time we had our second woman Senior Student, but no-one would have wanted anyone except David Guthrie this time. He has not only great dramatic, musical and sporting talent and a delightful sense of humour but the kind of mature concern for the welfare of the College and everyone in it that is the mark of a truly great Senior Student. The committee was also outstanding. If I were to single out just one, it would be Jamie Adamson who had the most difficult task of any Treasurer in living memory, as the time-honoured system (which ignored accruals and auditors) broke down completely just as he took office, leaving the T.C.A.C. to cope with a debt of many thousands. It is largely due to the T.C.A.C. Committee and the Senior Student and their encouragement to others to give of their best that Trinity has had the marvellously happy and caring atmosphere we have all enjoyed. (Cont. P. 2)
WE WERE WRONG In the last edition of the Newsletter (No. 36) the names of two Trinity men were wrongly included amongst those who had died. The mistake was due to incorrect information being passed on to the College. We apologise to: David Lipscombe Hollway (1934) Donald James MacKinnon (1947) and their families, and are very sorry for any distress this mistake may have caused. We are pleased to be able to say that both Trinity men are very much alive and well.

I should also like to pay tribute to the Dean, Mrs Leith Hancock. She took on this role with some reluctance and even considerable anxiety as to whether she could cope with the responsibilities. As everyone knows, she has been tremendous—deservedly popular for her genuine affection for every tutor and student and her effective concern for their welfare. My only worry about her is her tendency to keep working when she ought to take a break. She is a wonderful friend and colleague and I am grateful.
If I wanted to go on with a complete "thank you" list it would run for pages—Don Leane, our superb Bursar and Business Manager, whose work is more behind the scenes but absolutely crucial for the good of the College; Susan Moro, my wonderful secretary and protector; Heather Wilson in Accounts; Filomena Parente in the College Office; and our cheerfully efficient Librarians, Eirene Clark and Gillian Forwood, would also have to be mentioned—and where would you stop if you also wanted to mention (how could you not?) Frank Henegan, Peter Fleming and Miguel Gyucha, Mustafa, Geoff and Warren's work in the garden, Bill and Alby, and those wonderful people who serve our meals and clean the place?
I haven't yet mentioned the tutors, without whom we could hardly be called a College at all. Ian Rose gave two years of greatly valued service as President of the Senior Common Room and has been followed, with great success, by Nigel Warwick, whose virtues include being an experienced and effective advocate for tutors' conditions and a necessarily firm chairman. There are some wonderful people among our tutors, and I know that many students would like to see fewer barriers between SCR and JCR.
The word "College" means above all a community of people. The best colleges have great diversity in their membership and a sense of common purpose. That has been the mark of Trinity this year. It is a good reason for thinking that Trinity really is the best College. Evan L. Burge

THE WARDEN AS ACTING-CHAPLAIN Last January the Archbishop phoned me to suggest that Fr Ron Browning might become College Chaplain in succession to Dr Peter Wellock. I had often thought how suitable for this work Ron Browning would be, and was so delighted with the Archbishop's suggestion that I agreed on the spot. The only problem was the right time for Ron to leave his present parish in West Coburg—"not before the middle of the year" seemed the general consensus. Soon the Warden and Dean, confronted with a long waiting list, had stacked the Stewart House with students, thereby making it impossible for the Chaplain to start before late November. That, to put it gently, was not what the Archbishop had intended. My punishment was to have the duties of Chaplain added to those I already had as Warden. Help was offered from the Theological School staff and gratefully accepted. It has, in fact, been a delightful experience for me—especially officiating at Choral Evensong on Mondays and Wednesdays and presiding and/or preaching quite frequently at the College Eucharist on Thursday nights. This service is a very important part of my own spiritual life, and I have regarded presiding at it as a very great privilege. Other aspects of the Chaplaincy have, however, been neglected. Next year Fr Ron should have more opportunity than I have had to take a personal interest in the needs of the students and tutors, to offer courses in Christian doctrine, and to prepare people for Baptism and Confirmation. One benefit from not having to pay the Chaplain's stipend was that funds unexpectedly became available for the beautification of the Chapel furnishings—especially new altar frontals and linen. Jan Joustra is an expert in textiles and he has put his knowledge and skill generously at the disposal of the College, with welcome help from his wife Linda. Their work is not yet complete, but there is now enough for us all to admire. Another change occurred somewhat mysteriously during the August vacation when the portable altar, placed in the body of the Chapel for large eucharistic services, was placed near the south side of the narthex to form a chapel for small weekday services. Although some have found this move controversial, I, for one, have appreciated the greater intimacy it affords, especially since a painted Franciscan crucifix has been placed on the wall behind the altar. This is based on the much larger and older one at St Damian's outside Assisi, where St Francis heard Christ saying to him, "My church is falling into ruin—rebuild it." The Chapel Committee has been a valued support and advisory body. All the members have made their contributions—from arranging various social events and a discussion on "Dying with Dignity" to the Secretary, Donald Speagle's, meticulous care for agendas, minutes, service sheets, and the election of the new Committee. This election generated more interest in the wider College than I can remember fora Chapel Committee—a great sign of hope.

The Valedictory Service was marked not only by a good attendance of valedicting students and their families, but by the dedication of a beautiful set of embroidered cushions for Room 2 of the Leeper Library (the original College Chapel) in memory of Helen Brown, until 1986 Assistant Leeper Librarian and the sister of our present Librarian, Eirene Clark.
Some of the impetus for this growing interest surely springs from a Forum organized by Br Phillip Turnbull O.S.B. in third term. The subject was "What Religion Means in My Life". The six student speakers represented a wide variety of viewpoints and spoke with moving honesty, while over 150 listened with rapt attention. A few weeks later, a meeting of the Chapel congregation agreed that, as well as the present forms of Chapel services, there was a need to provide occasions—perhaps only talking and singing—to which those with little or no appreciation of the formal Anglican service might relate more naturally.
A special word of thanks to Bruce Macrae, Director of the Choir; to Philip Nunn, our splendid Organist, Organizer, and Composer; to Susan Wuttke, leading Soprano and Secretary of the Choir; to Cathy Troiani, Alto and Treasurer; and to all the signers who have given generously of their dedication, skill and time. Sandra Hoysted has been an exemplary Sacristan; Nikolaus Sakellaropoulos an unfailing and helpful Sexton; Steven Salmon has arranged rosters and teams of servers; and John Goodwin's sensitive organ playing at the College and Theological School Eucharists has been much appreciated.
There have been three well-attended large-scale services this year: the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors, Trinity Sunday (on its Octave, to avoid the May vacation), and the Valedictory Service in October. All were distinguished by the splendid singing of the Trinity College Choir. We look foward to the Festival of Lessons and Carols in December, the last to be attened by Sir Ninian Stephen as Governor-General.
Trinity Chapel is a place which grows on one. The more I worship there, the more it means to me. It is indeed a place where God finds those who seek him. May Fr Ron Browning find the position of Chaplain as rewarding as I have, and find the encouragement and strength to meet the many challenges and opportunities that await him. Evan L. Burge

From the Leeper library This term we have built up an exciting contemporary Australiana collection by means of a generous grant from Rollins College. Over two hundred recently-published books on Australian literature, history, fine arts, sociology and environmental studies have been added to the catalogue to provide the resources for the Rollins study programme. As these books are on the open shelves, our own Trinity students are discovering much that is new and challenging about their country as well.
We also thank Mr Joseph Brown for presenting to the library a personal copy of Outlines of Australian Art: the Joseph Brown Collection, edited by Daniel Thomas. The work records the breadth and richness of the collection, and we are delighted to have received it from Mr Brown. Of great bibliographic interest to Trinity, Sir William Stawell's own copy of the 1836 edition of Chitty's Precedents in Pleadings, was presented to the library by Dr Robin Sharwood at the Law Faculty Dinner in July. Sir William, the first Chief Justice of Victoria, was one of the founders of Trinity College, and was featured in a bicentennial exhibition held in the Long Room of Trinity College Dublin this year. The exhibition was entitled Terra Australis cognita: Australia to 1900, and displayed a selection of the Library's holdings relating to Australia from the days of the early Dutch discoveries. We thank Dr Sharwood for his generous and timely gift of a legal work inscribed by Stawell.
To mark the inaugural Rollins-Trinity semester, the President of Rollins College, President Thaddeus Seymour, presented to the Leeper Library The Pictorial History of Rollins College. Many of our readers have browsed through the book, which traces the development of the beautiful Florida college from its foundation late last century to the present. Staff and students are seen at work in lecture halls and laboratories, and relaxing by the lake on boating parties, in classic collegiate style. An honoured addition to our Trinitiana collection is The Sir Lindesay Clark Memorial Volume: Technology in Australia 1788-1988, compiled by the Fellows of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. We thank Professor Arthur Clark for presenting this work in memory of his late father who was one of the giants of the Australian mining industry. Sir Lindesay attended Trinity in 1919, while completing his mining course at Melbourne University, after serving in France in the A.I.F. where he has awarded the Military Cross in 1918.
Recent gifts to the Leeper Library also included the Kenneth Henderson Papers, presented by his daughter Dr Margaret Henderson, together with Robert Trumble's biography Kenneth Thorne Henderson: Broadcaster of the Word. The Papers will provide valuable research material. We are always grateful to those friends of the Leeper Library who so generously present works to us.

WILLIAM WETTENHAL LEMPRIERE William Lempriere, resident in Trinity from 1924 to 1929, died on 22nd August 1987. We record here part of the eulogy given at his funeral by the Venerable Stan Moss, himself a Trinity man and close friend of William Lempriere.
He was highly respected by his peers and was invited to membership of the College of Dermatology. In the functioning of the College, he was a committee member for many years and expressed a gracious and valued influence. How he loved to attend the conferences with his fellow "Dermos", as he termed them, and indeed it was amongst these friends he died. One of Bill's former patients kindly rang me to say what an incredibly understanding and caring practitioner he was. He mediated healing, he said, without putting down, and with a willingness to give of himself in terms of warmth and friendship.
"He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith." In the New Testament, these words are spoken of St Barnabas, but to me they apply as well to our beloved Christian brother, Dr William Lempriere. "Full of the Spirit", I take to mean exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit such as love, patience, kindness, faithfulness, and self control. Whatever part of his life one examines, these same qualities are well evident. He was born at Young, N.S.W., 82 years ago. Later, when about 12, he came down with his parents and brother to live at "Glenholford", his grandfather's bush property near Stawell. Only a few months ago Bill and his brother Holford were showing me a photo of that homestead and reminiscing about the lovely memories it had for them. After finishing at Geelong Grammar, where public school religion really nurtured the seed of faith in him, he went up to Trinity College to read Medicine. In his second year at Trinity, he met Whitney King and their friendship was to grow and endure particularly through this parish church of St John's. At Trinity Bill Lempriere showed himself to be a young man of standards combined with an independent outlook. He was attracted to the University rifle regiment and moved on from there to Militia. When the Second A.I.F. was formed in 1939 Bill Lempriere immediately Joined and was posted to the 2/2 Field Ambulance. He saw action in North Africa, Greece and Crete.
And so I reserve to last his service to the community, particularly through the Church. There were other avenues, of course, including Melbourne Rotary and Graduate House. But, it is not exaggerating to say that the Church was the mainspring of his life's outlook certainly since the second world war. When Bill Lempriere resigned from the Vestry, being accorded the honour of Churchwarden Emeritus by the then Archbishop, a minute was subsequently recorded at the Annual General Meeting in 1986: 'Acknowledging with love and gratitude his devoted and exemplary service given on the Vestry over a continous period of 38 years." The minute concluded that "the present lively vigour of St John's testifies in no small degree to his unselfish service, gentle wisdom and personal dedication". He had a particular gift of thinking on his feet, which, when combined with his quite remarkable memory for poetic lines, always produced a memorable speech, either on farewell occasions or in expressing a vote of thanks. The quiet hesitancy with which he began to speak, always ensured rapt attention from his listenders which enabled him to conclude his remarks usually on a high note of wit and humour.
He told a group of us one evening something of the manner of his rescue from the south coast of Crete at night by a R.N. destroyer— how they had to move by night across the island and hide in the caves during the day to escape enemy aircraft—it was extremely hazardous, with hardly any food and a tin can of water which he and his companion carried between them on a stick.
And he was ever willing to undertake humble unpopular tasks, e.g. stewardship campaigns, sidesmen's duty at small services, or joining in working bees. Of course, working bees fitted into his pet hobby of gardening, and once again the vicarage ground was often the beneficiary of a plant or shrub he had struck or nurtured at home.
But his most notable service was as a commander of the 2/11 Field Ambulance at El Alamein. His bravery under fire, regardless of personal danger, and his devotion to his troops were exemplary. This is the testimony of Kingsley Spicer who was one of his staff— "cool as a cucumber, with a very steady nerve, the welfare of his men always his first priority". At El Alamein he won the Distinguished Service Order. Kingsley maintains that Bill's Christian faith was the principal factor in determining his behaviour under the terrible pressure of war.
Yes, he was a conservative man by temperament and that followed into his church life too. That is why we felt it right to use the Book of Common Prayer at this service—copies of which he gave to the parish as a memorial to his Estelle. Yet I believe his moderate and cautious outlook developed because he always had a concern to conserve the good of the past, rather than cast it aside for the fashion of the moment, on which score he could be very scathing.
Back on leave in Australia in 1943, he and Estelle were married here at St John's which, I suppose, opened up the most important chapter of his life. Estelle and William (as his wife loved to call him) made a great success of their marriage. Estelle's children, Penny and David, were as much the recipients of their step-father's kindness and pride as was his own dear daughter Yvonne.
Yet when it came to the ecumenical question, he was right up in the van. He never missed an ecumenical service, ora study programme or an ecumenical prayer group meeting, despite his evangelical background and outlook. He was a man open to the Spirit with the gift of discerning between the Spirits.
After long years away at the war, Bill Lempriere had to set about building up his professional practice. His inclination towards Dermatology was doubtless aided by his uncle, who invited Bill into partnership. Subsequently, he set up his own practice at 14 Parliament Place and for many years was also the Assistant Director at Dermatological Clinics at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and in the Army.
So today we are giving high thanks that through the Spirit of God, this Christian brother of ours has run the race of life with great patience, stamina and grace. To us he has been a model and example of how to keep "looking unto Jesus the author and perfector of our faith". We believe he has won the victory with the trumpets sounding on the other side. "He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith."
