James Allen on top of the world - Mt Everest. May 1995.
When Dr Burge introduced James Allen to a Junior Common Room crowded with students he 'called James' conquest "one of great fortitude, of body, mind, and spirit." When James had finished his speech, the packed audience rose to its feet in applause. At the age of 22 James is not the youngest person to climb Everest, but he is the youngest Westerner to do it the hard way - up the north face. He says, "If I've got an interest in something I'll do it the hard way - it's the way I've always been. If I throw myself in the
deep end I find I learn a lot quicker - and have a lot better time."
time March arrived he was probably relieved to be leaving for Everest!
The invitation to join the world's best climbers and mountaineers came in December 1994. To ready himself for a March 1995 departure James increased his training to extreme levels. An average day would consist of a 10km run, a 40 minute ride to work, a quick lunchtime climb up 3500 steps of the Rialto building, a post-work swim or gym session, followed by the ride back home and another 10km run. By the
In was in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, that James first met the other members of the expedition. From there it took a short while to reach the base of Everest, where James reflected on the wild landscape and variable weather. It was a "barren place which could vary between morning frosts and afternoon willy-willies", and "a place where the temperature could range from -20C and +30C, all within a couple of hours."

BUCKLEY
Once at Everest they spent the next three months "yo-yoing" between the base camp and the summit; "climbing high and sleeping low" as much as possible, to acclimatise themselves to the altitude. Finally, just after midnight on 27 May, James set out for the summit with two others. For nearly nine hours James and his companions ascended the 648 metres separating their final campsite and the summit. They stopped every ten paces to regain their breath. In James' words, "It just plays with your head ... you can see where you're going but it takes hours and hours to get there ... Every time you stop to rest, you want to curl up and go to sleep, and die." In pitch-darkness they made their way to the top, James sometimes having no idea where his companions were. In one case he had the option of two guide ropes and no-one to tell him which to take. He obviously took the path which headed up, but after a few steps his instinct told him to retrace his steps and follow the other. Only on his descent, and with the aid of light, did he realise that the first rope could have led him to his death. At 9.15am, after an intense mental and physical struggle, they reached the top; all three in various states of health. Two of James' fingers were frostbitten, while another of their small group had a punctured lung, severe bronchitis and pulmonary oedema - a state where fluid builds up in the lung. James was the only one
with oxygen left, and luckily so, for his partner would have died without it. Ignoring their ailments they set their eyes on the world around - and below - them, savouring the view for about 45 minutes. James attributes his success to his attitude, "I took every day as it came. A lot of people don't make it to the top because they get `summit fever.' Their view of success is getting to the top ... I just worked my way up there and was really happy each time I made a new height." On his return to Australia, James spent five weeks in and out of hospital hoping that the feeling would return to his toes and hands. While he can now feel his toes he has lost the tips of his two frostbitten fingers. Funnily enough he feels reasonably lucky - for the figures indicate that nearly half of those who attempt Everest's north face will die. As he has survived, the only figures which now plague James are those concerning the loan he took out to help him achieve his mountainous goal! It cost James $40,000 to climb the world's highest mountain. Half of that sum he'd saved by working on oil rigs and on-shore platforms during summer holidays. But the other half was more difficult to acquire. Because he was a `young unknown', not many of the big companies found it possible to part with their sponsorship dollars. He eventually secured major sponsorship from Ernst & Young and was very happy and grateful for their contribution.
Indeed James now has a wry smile for those companies who failed to notice him when he was an unknown for some of these same companies now hire him, at considerable cost, to give talks on Everest, motivation and teamwork. Just like the other famous Australian `iceman', James has been "picked up" by Harry M Miller, and is quite happy to leave the organisation of his newfound fame to someone else. James says, "For me it's good publicity for sponsorship in the future, and a good way to pay off my enormous debt."

Having recently completed two years of Articles of Clerkship with a Brisbane firm of solicitors, she was mitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of
Despite being in a prime position to develop his image as a professional mountaineer, James has decided against such a move. He believes that if that were to happen, his love of climbing might quickly dissolve as the need to make money took over. He also sees the dangers inherent in having to reach the summit. Beyond these considerations is the fact that he is now studying Econmics at Cambridge University. He has already completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours in geology at the University of Melbourne.

been described as "an institution in the University athletics community" by the Athletics Club, and has "improved the fitness levels of Rugby Union players for as far back as anyone can remember." As also stated in his conferring ceremony, "there can be no stronger tribute to any nomination for any sporting award than to have four clubs write in testimony of his enormous assistance and dedication."
FRANK HENAGAN HONOURED At the annual presentation of University sporting blues, the Melbourne University Sports Association awarded Frank Henagan, Trinity Porter, their highest award. In doing so the Association registered its "enormous debt of gratitude to an exceptional sporting personality" by conferring on Frank an Honorary Life Membership. Frank was recognised as "a true sporting identity" within the University of Melbourne and an outstanding contributor to the activities of the Sports Association, through his support of member clubs and as a fitness adviser to individual athletes.
On top of all this Frank was also commended for his "constant observance of security matters on the recreation reserve, his help to the curator ... and his willingness to assist in any capacity" despite perhaps being "under-recognised by the passing parade of sporting students." Trinity College congratulates a man aptly described as "exemplifying the best of the virtues embodied in the sporting tradition: fair play, adherence to the rules and a shake of an opponent's hand at the end of a contest."
INAUGURAL CYBEC SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED TO MATT KING The inaugural CYBEC Scholarship was awarded to Matthew King ('93), a Mechanical Engineering student from Trinity College studying at the University of Melbourne. Matthew was in the third year of a five year course and majoring in maths. He won the scholarship because of his excellent academic record, and the grant of $2000 went towards his college fees. Although this scholarship serves to encourage hard work and academic excellence, this story's focus is double-edged, for the Managing Director of CYBEC is Roger Riordan ('51). Roger sees the scholarship as an attempt to "redress the balance", in a world where "the disparity between the acclaim accorded to the top athletic and scholastic performers was both startling and, in view of the importance of academic excellence to the future of Australia, disheartening ...

you can run a bit faster, or hit a ball a bit more accurately than your fellows, you will find instant fame and sponsors who will cater to your every whim. Such skills, which once may have helped you escape the lion, and pass on your genes, have no relevance to life today, yet we value them far more than the academic ability which could enable us to maintain our place in an ever more specialised world." Hence CYBEC's first scholarship and its first recipient - Matthew King. Like Roger we at Trinity College hope our support will help Matthew make the best use of the many opportunities open to him ... so he can make a worthwhile contribution to the future of our country. LAWRENCE COX WINS JOHN STOREY MEDAL Mr Lawrence Cox ('57), executive chairman of Potter Warburg, was awarded the 1994 Australian Institute of Management's John Storey Medal. The medal was introduced in 1952 and is awarded for a "distinguished contribution to management in Australia." Mr Graham Inns, National President of the Australian Institute of Management, referred to the "outstanding contribution to management in Australia made by Mr Cox in his capacity as Chairman of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)." Mr Cox led the ASX through a crucial period of its development, taking the chair when it was only two years old and still functioning as a confederation of the States' stock exchanges. At that time the ASX was incurring an annual
deficit of $24 million. He guided its transformation into a highly efficient national exchange, which in the last year of his chairmanship turned it around to record a surplus of $24 million. Central to this transformation was the development of a computer and communications system that created an electronic stock market, spanning the Australian continent - something which had not been achieved anywhere else in the world. He led the ASX Board in a courageous decision to develop these systems because he saw them as essential for Australia, and its development as an internationally competitive stock market. Equally important was a major revision of the ASX Listing Rules to focus on continuous disclosure of price-sensitive information. He has long advanced simplification of the Corporations Law (which is now being undertaken) because he saw such complex laws as an unnecessary burden on participants in the Australian market. Although the ASX remains notionally `owned' by its stockbroker members, Mr Cox achieved the final transformation of the Exchange from an association of stockbrokers to an efficient and competitive commercial organisation.
contributed greatly to the understanding of the cell biology of malaria. He has been working towards the development of a vaccine against malaria. Professor Brown's appointment has been seen as combining two of his previously held positions as the Head of the Immunoparasitology'Unit at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, and as the Head of the Infectious Diseases Services at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. This combination of roles recognises his research at the Institute and the Royal Melbourne's role in fighting infectious diseases.

profiles Scott CHARLES In 1993, Scott won the Ballarat Shire's "Young Citizen of the Year" award - something he is very proud of because past winners include Ballarat's favourite son, marathon runner Steve Monagetti and Brownlow medalist "Plugger" Lockett. In 1994, Scott was selected as one of two young Australians to attend the `Future Perspectives' Conference in Brisbane organised by the Queen's Trust. Scott jokes however, that his greatest achievement that year was his appearance on television in "Man O Man" (he adds that two fellow Trinity students - Jamie Gorton and David Guthrie did not even get through the auditions!).

the State Government, and an odourless organic fertiliser which is sold through local nurseries. The system has received world recognition and was the platform for Scott's consulting business.
When Scott finished his two degrees in Planning and Design, and Building, at Melbourne University in 1991, he returned home to the family farm near Ballarat for his year of `penance' something his two brothers and he have all done - the idea being to repay his parents for giving him the opportunity to go to University and Trinity. During this year Scott helped develop a waste management system for the 15,000 pigs on the farm. This system converts all the effluent from the piggery into 2 valuable commodities - electricity, which the Charles family then sells to
"We were very fortunate to receive a lot of publicity about the system. Before long I had people ringing me and asking if I could help them, - not just other piggeries but City Councils, food processing companies, wool scourers and waste water engineers." As a result of this interest, Scott started his own company "Sustainable Engineering" which works in the area of Project and Construction Management and Waste Management consulting. His work has seen him travel to Taiwan, Malaysia and even the tiny Pacific island of Nauru.
With Scott's business taking him all around Victoria and while he is studying part-time for his Master of Engineering in Cleaner Production at RMIT, he has a busy year ahead. But, always looking for yet another challenge, Scott has returned to Trinity College this year as a resident tutor. "I'm really looking forward to it" he says. "Trinity has played a big part in my education and I'm hoping I can give a bit back." Scott Charles.
STUDENT
Lucy CARRUTHERS Lucy Carruthers takes to big projects like a fish to water. And just as eagerly as she tackled the 1994 Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race she now tackles the ever-growing Crown casino. Lucy began on Crown's casino bid as a designer with the architectural firm of Bates, Smart & McCutcheon. She has since progressed to a managerial role and sees her future in such a position within the construction industry. As the Assistant Project Architect she could probably take the title of second in charge, but prefers to defer to the nature of the joint venture team. After graduating from RMIT with an Honours degree in Architecture she had a desire to work on big projects . She just didn't think she'd get the chance so quickly , and on such a big job. But rather than being daunted, Lucy sees the casino as an "incredible opportunity." She says, "I wouldn't give up the chance to work on a project of this scale, working at this speed and with this much prominence in the public eye ... The casino is a fairly ground-breaking job in the way things are done, and in terms of the pace. Because of the deadlines set by the government we're re-writing the way construction projects are completed." The casino has now equalled Canberra's Parliament House as the largest construction project ever to take place in Australia. But while Parliament House took almost 10 years to complete the casino should take just over three, with completion expected in

Lucy is excited by the major projects taking place. She believes there has been a "crisis in architecture ... Cities need to have public buildings which can form the infrastructure and identity of the city ." She says, "Since the 80s, development has been occurring in an ad hoc manner ... the projects of the moment are trying to bring back some of that character ."

Besides being a jury member for the Royal Australian Institute of Architects' awards she has recently joined a new group - the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). It is a group that hopes to provide a base and network for women within the industry, with a focus on education and mentoring. Although Lucy doesn't think it is "necessary", she does believe it will be "very beneficial" and says, "However hard you pretend that it's not difficult (as a woman in the construction industry) it is very challenging." At the time of going to print, Lucy had recently transferred to run business development for the newly established Bates Smart office in Sydney. While she sometimes hankers after activity of the site, the opportunity to take on a strategic role presents another set of challenges to master.

The Warden now happily reports that the right number of nominations were accepted and that a group was found with the desired breadth. He also made comment that in time it would be desirable that we have a more equal proportion of women, saying that this would be possible as the composition of the Council and Board gradually evolved. Chairman, Mr Bill Irvine has been Chairman of the National Australia Bank since 1992 and a Director of that Bank since 1979.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (formally Chairman), the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the American College of Surgeons. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Surgery at Monash University and a Visiting Lecturer in Anatomy at Melbourne. His involvement with Trinity over the years has been at
10
many levels, including being a Senior Tutor, Hon. Director of Medical Studies for twenty-five years, a Member of the College Council since 1979, and Hon. Secretary of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys since 1974. The establishment of the Trinity Education Centre was largely due to his interest and active involvement and he has been the Chairman of its Management Committee since its inception six years ago. Bishop James Grant (4 year appointment), Dean of Melbourne, entered Trinity in 1950 and graduated with honours in History. After his theological studies, ordination and parish service he returned to Trinity as Chaplain in 1979 and was consecrated as a Coadjutor Bishop of Melbourne in that year. He was commissioned to write the College's centenary history Perspective of a Century (1972). He has remained involved in many aspects of Trinity life, including being a counsellor and fundraiser of the Theological School, a worker for the Leeper and Mollison libraries, and a friend and adviser to two Wardens. He has long been a Member of the Council and its Executive and Finance Committee. Outside the College and St Paul's Cathedral, one of his main involvements has been as Chairman of the Brotherhood of St Lawrence 19721982. He is a Member of the Order of Australia and a Fellow of Trinity College. Dr Tom Quirk (1 year appointment), elected Chairman of the Trinity College Foundation in February 1995 thereby became ex officio a Member of the College Council. He was in Trinity from 1958-1963 first as a science student and then as Physics tutor. From Worcester College Oxford he graduated with a D. Phil. and went on to Fellowships in St John's, Wolfson and Hertford Colleges. Later he had considerable experience as a scientist in Chicago and Harvard Universities and became a graduate of the Harvard Business School. Since

Ms Margot Foster (1 year
appointment) has her own law practice and is well-known as an Olympic bronze medallist for rowing and as a member of the Australian Olympic Committee. She entered Trinity as a law student in 1976 and, after being persuaded to take up rowing, contributed significantly to the prestige of women's rowing in the Melbourne colleges. She has set her sights on a parliamentary career and, as a first step, recently stood for the Federal seat of Melbourne Ports. Ms Ceri Lawley (1 year appointment) practices law as a solicitor and senior associate at Mallesons Stephen Jaques in the superannuation, trust and equal opportunity areas.

Mrs Wendy Lewis B.Bus(Acc), CPA, Reg. Tax Agent, AIM
Additionally she was Secretary of the Middle Common Room at Downing College. At that time St Anne's was admitting male students for the first time and in contrast, Downing College was a predominantly male college (with a strong reputation for law, sport and alcohol!). She came to Australia in November 1990, and has been admitted to practice as a solicitor in Victoria after completing studies at Melbourne University on a part-time basis (obtaining an H1).
Wendy brings to Trinity College extensive experience in financial management.

THE EVAN BURGE .Library
Complex The new Library complex has been designed to meet contemporary needs whilst blending with the historical buildings of Trinity College. The concept of the `barrel vault' is central to the design of many ancient University College libraries, not the least of which is Trinity College, Dublin. This design results in a strong feeling of spaciousness throughout the building, and both levels are bright with natural light.

is that the library will be fully automated for borrowing and online public access, which means that users will be able to access the catalogue by computer. A dial-up modem link connects the College library to the University library system, giving students wide access to information and resources. Connection to the Internet by co-exial cable is planned. The library will have study seating for eighty people. Four seminar rooms at the northern end will provide areas for group discussions. There is also an informal browsing and reading area which overlooks the gardens and provides a relaxed, peaceful environment for leisure reading.

Dr Tom Quirk welcomed the freshers to the wide Trinity community and emphasised that they now belong to a network of people spread all over the world, involved in a wide range of vocational activities.

THEOLOGICAL Schoo
History Trinity Theological School is the oldest provincial and diocesan theological college of the Anglican Church in Victoria. It is an integral part of Trinity College. The School was founded in 1877 by Bishop James Moorhouse, with the purpose of producing a learned and dedicated clergy. Its graduates include many leaders of the Australian Church past and present, but its strength remains in the many parish priests who have fulfilled Bishop Moorhouse's vision. The school is committed to Christian service, scholarly excellence, spiritual development and wholeness of life, pastoral ministry, and engagement with the modern world in mission. Ecumenical Context In 1969, Trinity Theological School was a founding member of the ecumenical United Faculty of Theology, which has brought together the Trinity Theological School, the Jesuit Theological College and the Uniting Church Theological Hall. This gives Anglican students access to leading local and internationally recognised theologians, and the excellent Joint Theological Library at Ormond College - one of the best in the southern hemisphere. Degrees are awarded by the Melbourne College of Divinity, which also offers a combined degree in Arts/Theology in association with the University of Melbourne and Monash University.
Serving the Wider Church Theological training for lay ministry is encouraged and promoted both through the United Faculty of Theology and the Trinity Theological School's own Certificate of Theology program, which is taught in different parishes of the Diocese. Private students may apply to become Associates of the School.
Trinity Theological School Management Committee' has been set up to (a) oversee the running of the Theological School; (b) to work through the 15 recommendations of the Report of the Review Committee; and (c) to take whatever steps it deems necessary for the successful management of the School. A small but energetic, committee
As well, Clergy Schools, Schools of Prayer, Spirituality, Preaching and Liturgy are offered to meet various needs within the whole Church. Today For several years the Theological School, whilst being part of the College complex, has had its own budget and responsibility for its finances. It was answerable to both the College Council and to the Bishops of the Province of Victoria. At the end of 1994, partly arising out of the Strategy Review of the College, and partly because of the falling number of candidates with the resultant shortfall of income, the College Council set up a review of the Theological School. The members of the Review Committee were Bishop James Grant, Dr Graeme Blackman, and the Rev'd Barry Smith. The terms of reference were far reaching and to "present options for the future in the light of the impossibility of continuing under the present conditions". The Report from this Committee was presented to the Council of the College and to the Archbishop late in 1995. As a result `The
has been appointed by the Archbishop under the chairmanship of the Rt. Rev'd Andrew Curnow. We believe that this Committee will be able to deal with many of the problems facing the Theological School in a manner which will mean the continuance of the Theological School, and also its growth and importance within the Anglican Church of Australia, indeed within the whole of Australian society, and within the United Faculty of Theology, a body where the "quality of theological scholarship and teaching ... is recognised as being of world class". The year ahead holds may challenges for the Theological School and we are looking forward confidently to meeting them and fulfilling the school's capacity to be an academic and training centre of international quality within the Anglican Communion. Rev'd Dr John Wright, Acting Director.

A fine tradition of student speeches was further enhanced at the 1995 TEC Valedictory Ceremony. Harvinder Kaur, likening the Foundation Year to a "Block Buster Steven Spielberg movie" said "This year...has been one excellent movie. We had a great cast and it had many memorable moments. But unlike Spielberg, this movie will have no sequels; we are all part of it, it is ours and is a one and only." Then, following the presentation of Certificates by TEC Chairman Tony Buzzard, Indrawan Nugroho said "We are prepared to step forward to the next stage of our academic journey, University. And we are ready! We are ready to open the door to the future, to fill it with success and joy, to pursue not only our academic goals, but also our purpose in life...And whatever course we will do next year; Medicine, Law, Commerce, Engineering, we are all in the position to make a difference, in our own life and other people's lives. Because every decision that we make, or that we have made, or that we will make, will shape our future, and as we shape the future, we create the history. Then perhaps someday, our great, great grand children will refer to us as the people who have made a better world for them to live in." Harvinder, who is from Malaysia, is now studying Medicine, and Indrawan, who is from Indonesia, is studying Commerce at The University of Melbourne. Places at The University of Melbourne have been offered to 148 of the students who graduated from the Trinity Foundation Studies Program last

the Academic Board, after conducting a staff retreat, has commented on the calibre of our teaching staff in glowing terms.
To recognise outstanding academic success, a special sterling medal has been struck to be awarded to the Dux of the Foundation Studies Program. Dr Denis White, Executive Director of the Foundation Program, presented the first medal to the 1995 Dux, Arun Subiamanian, (Medicine) at the official opening of the 1996 Foundation Year recently. Four other students were also awarded Certificates for Outstanding Academic Achievement; Pang Kang Wen, Havinder Kaur, Lau Lee Ing and Tan Shin Wei. All are now studying at The University of Melbourne.
Everything augers well for a happy and successful 1996 in the TEC. The availability of the Lecture Theatre and other teaching rooms in the Evan Burge building will greatly assist with the effective delivery of the Program.

In November 1995, Professor David Penington, retiring Vice Chancellor of the University addressed Foundation Program students and lunched with us in the Foundation Studies Centre. This visit gave the TEC an opportunity to thank Professor Penington for his support over the years. Professor Penington spoke about the importance of academic values, and the University's commitment to high quality teaching combined with research. Following this visit, Professor Penington commented favourably on the, "depth of cultural commitment" in the activities of the TEC.
