CENTENARY APPEAL

INTO THE COLLEGE'S SECOND CENTURY

EXCEEDS TARGET

1972 was the College's centenary year. The highlights of the year were the centenary celebrations — a thanksgiving service at the Cathedral, an oration, a banquet and a fair — and the very successful establishment of the Centenary Endowment Fund. Academically the year was very satisfactory, if on the sporting fields somewhat less so. The College enters its second century with confidence: the waiting list for residence is longer and the financial position stronger than for some years, and Government grants are promised for the refurbishing of Bishops', thus completing the current renovation programme.

A message from the Appeal President, Sir Rupert Clarke: It is most pleasing to be able to report that the target of $100,000 set for the first year of the Trinity College Centenary Endowment Fund Appeal has been exceeded: since the Appeal was opened last March $100,564 has been received or promised. The College is most grateful to the donors — individuals, firms, trusts and the Diocese of Melbourne — whose generosity has made the Appeal such a success. The enhanced financial strength of the College will enable it to enter its second century with greater confidence. A leading firm of merchant bankers has been appointed to manage the Fund and the full benefit of dividend income from the Fund should soon be felt by the College. There has never been a time when Trinity, and most universities and colleges, have not relied upon a continual flow of benefactions. Only when a large, new endowment fund has been built up, providing the College with a permanent independent source of substantial income, will the College know that its special and central character as an academic institution is secure, that it can plan responsibly to preserve and extend its buildings and that it can look forward to a period of some financial stability. It is highly desirable that the Centenary Endowment Fund should continue to grow from this promising beginning. Over the next decade it is hoped that gifts will increase the Fund fivefold and a Brochure on future development of the Fund will be distributed shortly. Your past support is deeply appreciated. Your generous and continuing support is warmly invited.

PRESIDENT OF THE APPEAL

THE CENTENARY ORATION The principal academic occasion of the College's Centenary was an Oration in the Wilson Hall on the evening of Tuesday, 28th June, 1972. As this was held under the joint auspices of the College and the University, the Chancellor (L. W. Weickhardt, Esq) presided, and His Excellency Major-General Sir Rohan Delacombe took his seat on the dais in his capacity as Visitor• to the University. The long and colourful academic procession was led by stduent representatives of the College, and there followed officers of the Union of the Fleur de Lys, Tutors and officers of the College, Heads of Colleges, Deans of Faculties, members of the College Council, the Registrar, members of the University Council, representatives of the Colleges of the Founders, the Chairman of the Council and the Principal of Janet Clarke Hall, the Master of Ormond College (representing the Heads of Melbourne Colleges and Halls of Residence), the Warden, the Vice-Chancellor, the Orator and the President of the College Council; the Chancellor and the Visitor were escorted by the Esquire Bedell. After the National Anthem, the Chancellor called upon the ViceChancellor (Professor David Derham) to present an address of congratulation from the University of Melbourne. Then followed further addresses from representatives of the Colleges of the Founders, as follows:— Trinity College, Cambridge: Emeritus Professor A. Dale Trendall. St. John's College, Cambridge: Dr. Richard Perham. Trinity College, Dublin: Professor David Rankin.

Dr. Margaret Blackwood presented an address from Janet Clarke Hall, and Dr. J. Davis McCaughey an address from the Melbourne Colleges. These splendid and elegant addresses are now numbered amongst the treasures of the College. They are mounted and on display in the Muniments Room of the Leeper Library, where they may be inspected. At the conclusion of these presentations, the President of the Council (The Most Reverend Dr. Frank Woods) introduced the Orator and invited him to deliver the Centenary Oration. The Orator was Sir Hugh Ennor, Secretary of the Commonwealth Department of Education and Science. The College had sought him for this role not merely because of his disContinued on Page 2.

tinguished position in Australian education and his international reputation as a scholar and research scientist but also because in his early post-graduate years he had held a Tutorship in the College, and thus represented the academic tradition which the College had upheld since its foundation. Sir Hugh's subject was "Mass PostSecondary Education — Some Problems". He spoke of the large and everincreasing number of pupils remaining to the end of secondary schooling and tending now to move on almost as of course to post-secondary institutions. "As our post-secondary system is changing under pressure towards what I have called mass post-secondary education," he said, "it becomes important that we should understand what I mean by the use of that term. Mass post-secondary merely refers to a system in which there is a variety of institutions offering courses at a variety of levels. Movement towards mass post-secondary education may demand some change in the nature, content or standard of courses which are currently available in our post-secondary institutions. It may also demand the invention of new kinds of educational institutions with structures, content and organizational arrangements yet to be developed and, as yet, only partly identified." The major portion of the address was devoted to an examination of the problems stated in the last sentences in the paragraph quoted, educational, social and economic. It was an important address, realistic and at times controversial, a serious contribution to the debate on one of the most complex issues of our day, and it gained a good deal of attention in the press and elsewhere; it was published in full in the University of Melbourne Gazette of August, 1972. The Warden thanked Sir Hugh, and the Chancellor brought the proceedings to an end. A supper party followed in the Dining Hall of the College. Amongst the many visitors on that occasion, it was particularly good to see Miss Valentine Leeper, Miss Molly Leeper and Professor Geoffrey Leeper, children of the first Warden, whose presence at our Centenary functions link°d us so appropriately with our beginnings.

"THANK YOU" The College is deeply grateful to the members of the several committees concerned with the Centenary Endowment Fund Appeal. Their hard work, especially that of Sir Rupert Clarke, Mr. Norman Carlyon and other committee leaders, were crucial to the Appeal's success.

The law aside, he is probably most widely known for his great interest in the breeding and racing of thoroughbreds. Currently the owner of two brood mares, he was an owner with Dr. Michael Wilson, a former resident medical tutor of the College, of Beer Street when Beer Street won the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Launceston and the Caulfield Cup. He is the Australian correspondent for The British Racehorse. One of Mr. Merralls's major interests has been films and the theatre. He was the Melbourne theatre critic for Nation for five years. Mr. J. D. Merralls.

RESIGNATION OF J. D. MERRALLS Mr. J. D. MERRALLS resigned as a tutor of the College and went out of residence at the end of 1972. He had been a resident member of the College since 1957 and a tutor since the following year save for a break of two years. His resignation from resident membership will assist him to meet the increasing demands of his work as a barrister in general non-jury practice, work in which he has achieved quite some distinction. Born in Canberra, James Donald Merralls spent his early childhood there before moving to New South Wales and, later, Victoria. He attended the King's School, Parramatta and Melbourne Grammar School. In 1954 he enrolled at the Law School at the University of Melbourne and in 1957 he completed the course with honours. During his undergraduate years he was President of the University Law Review Association and the University Film Society. In 1954 and 1955 he was a (nonresident) Exhibitioner at Trinity and in 1957 he came into residence as a Major Scholar. The following year he was appointed to a College Tutorship. Articled to Mr. Peter Balmford, Mr. Merralls was admitted to practise as a barrister and solicitor in 1960 and he read with Mr. H. R. Newton (now Mr. Justice Newton) . During 1960 and 1961 he was Associate to Sir Owen Dixon. His work as Associate was to take him around Australia so he left College at the end of 1960. He returned in 1963 and was appointed Senior Tutor the following year, Acting Dean in third term 1967, and Dean in 1968 following the appointment of the Reverend K. B. Mason as Bishop of the

He has been a member of the Institute of International Affairs for eighteen years and in 1963, he along with Anthony Clunies-Ross, was a commentator for the A.B.C. on the night of the Federal Elections. In addition to the study of government Mr. Merralls's interests include the study of British history, and music, and he greatly enjoyed playing in the Senior Common Room v. Junior Common Room cricket matches and playing College bowls. Over many years Mr. Merralls has been a most valuable and highly respected member of the College community. The College gained the benefit of his honesty and uprightness, his capacity to think clearly and to speak lucidly and forthrightly, his excellent memory (and considerable gift of mimicry), his very important contribution to the teaching and administration of the College and his formidable knowledge of many fields including law, politics, history, theatre, films, music, horses and cricket. One always respected Mr. Merralls's advice even if one could not always agree with him. His links with the legal, business and racing communities helped to draw the College into activities beyond its walls. The College, especially his fellow tutors will find him irreplaceable. Even the Senior Common Room's picnic excursions to the Melbourne Cup cannot be the same without him. RHODES SCHOLAR A member of the College, Mr. C. D. CORDNER was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship for Victoria at the end of 1971. Following a distinguished honours course in Philosophy and English at Melbourne he is now reading for the Bachelor of Philosophy degree, in Philosophy, at University College, Oxford. Mr. Cordner was the first S.A. Wynne Scholar.

UNION OF THE FLEUR-DE-LYS The basis of membership of the Union has now been extended to include all former resident members, and tutors, of the College. This important decision, which greatly increases the number of members, was made at the annual meeting of the Union in 1971. All students now automatically become members of the Union on leaving the College, and there is no membership fee. The executive committee is eager to encourage more active participation in the affairs of the Union and the President (Sir Reginald Sholl) and Secretary (Mr. Hugh Graham) would like to hear of the activities and views of members. Proposals for activities apart from the annual meeting and dinner are being considered. The last annual meeting and dinner was held at the College in August and eighty members attended. Sir Reginald Sholl, Dr. M. R. (Taffy) Jones and the Warden were the speakers. Please come to the next dinner, in August (date to be fixed) . Every effort is being made to ensure that the annual dinners are enjoyable and interesting for those who attend. COLLEGE MAGAZINE Following the change in the composition of the membership of the Union of the Fleur-de-Lys, copies of the College magazine, "Fleur-de-Lys", are no longer being sent automatically to members of the Union. However, copies may be purchased (while the supply lasts) from the Warden's Secretary. Copies of the 1972 issue are now on sale: Price $3.20 including postage.

CENTENARY THANKSGIVING SERVICE The centenary celebrations climaxed and concluded with a Thanksgiving Service in St. Paul's Cathedral on the afternoon of Sunday, 2nd July, the actual centenary of the College's opening. The order of service produced for the Jubilee Services in 1922 and 1947 (basically Evensong), was abandoned and a new and distinctive order including a special `Trinity Thanksgiving' devised. Musically, the opening fanfare by the Melbourne Brass Ensemble struck a properly festal note which was sustained through much Vaughan Williams by the special choir assembled by the College Organist, Frank Smith. Bishop John McKie, released from Coventry for an all-too-short visit, delighted his old and new friends with an appropriate sermon on `The Hopes by which we Live'.

The congregation was large, enthusiastic and suitably representative. The academic contingent easily outshone the ecclesiastical functionaries and ensured that visually as well as musically and liturgically the service was thoroughly worthy of its occasion. The Centenary Thanksgiving Service was preceded by a formal dinner in Hall at which Bishop John McKie was Guest of Honour. His brief and witty speech following the meal was vastly enjoyed by the members of the College.

THE DEAN RODERICK ALAN FAWNS, one of the most youthful Deans ever appointed to the College, hails from McKinnon. After completing his secondary education at McKinnon and Melbourne High Schools, he enrolled at Melbourne University in the Faculty of Agriculture and had the degree of Bacheolor of Agricultural Science conferred early in 1965. Before commencing his Diploma of Education studies later that year, he went on the first-ever A.U.S. tour of India. This was one of the best holidays he ever had, because in the same party was one Rosemary McConchie, a fourth year medical student. Two years later they were man and wife. After completing his Diploma of Education, Rod was posted for a year to Numurkah High School and transferred in 1967 to the staff of University High School. At the end of that year, he resigned to take up the John and Eric Smyth Travelling Scholarship, awarded by the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne. Under this scheme he completed a Master of Agricultural Science with first class honours at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. At the same time, his wife completed her post-graduate year of hospital residence with the North Canterbury Hospital Board.

Anthony Buzzard, who had encouraged the Fawns to join the college community. In his spare time, Rod rejoined the Education Department, and spent a year at Mordialloc High School before returning to niversity High hk: accepted School. Simultaneou an appointment to the Faculty Education at the University of Melbourne, where he tutored in methods of teaching biology. Feeling he needed some mental stimulous while carrying out his several functions, Rod completed his Bachelor of Education and was admitted immediately as a candidate for the degree of Master of Education, which he plans to complete during 1973. Towards the end of 1971, with the impending departure of the Reverend Raymond Gregory, the opportunity arose to invite Rod to accept appointment as Dean, initially on an acting basis while "Greg" was ActingWarden during Dr. Sharwood's study leave in the third term. On Dr. Sharwood's return, and with the departure of "Greg", for northern climes, Rod assumed the Deanship on a part-time basis from the beginning of 1972. At the beginning of this year he was appointed to a lectureship in the Faculty of Education. He keeps up his interest in agricultural science by giving occasional tutorials in the Faculty of Agriculture. With his other work in the Faculty of Education, his tutorials for Trinity medical, agriculture and veterinary students and his Deanly duties, he is not exactly wondering what to do next. As sidelines, he sets and examines the biology exams for the College Scholarships each year, marks Higher School Certificate biology papers, and plays the share market with a success that confounds the economists. He nevertheless still manages to find time to talk to people, play football, cricket or bowls (in season), and participate in all the College's activities.

This brings us to 1969. In that year, the Fawns returned to Australia and Rosemary joined the Staff of the Royal Children's Hospital, where she still is. She is in the process of completing her training in child psychiatry, with a view to setting up eventually in private practice. Rod, meanwhile, became one of the College's tutors and both he and Rosemary took up residence in the mezzanine flat in Leeper — Rod as resident tutor in the biological sciences, and Rosemary as, one of the College's Resident Medical Officers. The other Resident Medical Officer at that time was the Senior Tutor, Dr.

Mr. R. A. Fawns.

1967 APPEAL Now that this Appeal is entering its final stages, it will be interesting to many readers to see what has been achieved. We set out to raise $150,000. Well, we did not quite make it, but we got fairly close. At time of writing $124,300 has already been received for the Appeal proper, together with a further $4,500 in donations for specific purposes (such as the S. A. Wynne Scholarship and the Library), making a total of $128,800 in cash received. If we add to this amount the sum of $4300 in promised donations not yet due, we arrive at a grand total of $133,100, which is quite respectable. The first project listed as an objective of the Appeal was the renovation of Bishops' and Clarke buildings. It was thought that this work would cost just under $99,000, of which the Appeal would provide one-quarter ($24,680 was the figure quoted on the Appeal brochure) . In the event, with rising costs, this proved to be too conservative an estimate. Clarke Building has now been fully renovated, is an extremely pleasant building and a great favourite with our conference trade, but the total cost was $158,030. Bishops' will be the subject of a re-

Perspective of a Century — a volume for the Centenary of Trinity College, Melbourne, 1872 - 1972, by James Grant. The extent and effectiveness of its collegiate system has long been recognised as a notable feature of the University of Melbourne. The senior College, Trinity, celebrated the centenary of its opening in 1972, and this volume presents the first comprehensive account of its first century's achievement. As such it covers not only the Wardenship of Alexander Leeper, but also those of Sir John Behan, R. W. T. Cowan, and R. L. Sharwood, the present Warden. There is a full discussion of the academic, social and religious life of the College and of the setting within which these activities have taken place. For most of its existence (1886 - 1961) Trinity has been co-educational through its association with Janet Clarke Hall (originally Trinity College Women's Hostel), and the contribution of the `Ladies' to community life is described. The 'style' of college life has never been static, but it will come as a surprise to many to read that the University Labour Club originated in Trinity. Though written primarily for the Trinity community, the general reader will find this account of college life interesting and entertaining. Cron 4to; pp. XV, 202; 4 col. plates and 48 b/w. illusts.

novation programme, for study-bedrooms during the present triennium, which has been costed at approximately $65,000. When undertaking the Clarke renovations a sum of $9,570 was spent on Bishops' for essential ancillary work, such as installation of a switchboard. We do, however, still have a lot of essential repairs to carry out to Bishops' over and above the study-bedroom renovations. For example, the roof needs a major overhaul that will leave us very little change out of $3,600. We have, of course, had quite generous government support for these projects, though not as generous as we would have liked! The initial renovations to Clarke and Bishops' were fully endorsed by the A.U.C., but the latter stage of the renovations to Clarke was only supported retrospectively and to a limited degree. For the entire programme (i.e. both stages) we received grants totalling $1 16,500. For stage II of the renovations to Bishops' we have been promised $48,750. As a result, the difference in cost for work already completed has had to be funded by the Appeal and the amount required was $51,050 — rather more than the amount originally envisaged. There are, of course, ample funds to complete the renovation of Bishops'

but this will have to be done in PA stages — internal renovation durir this triennium and external during th next, if hoped-for A.U.C. suppo materialises. With a view to providing addition, student accommodation, together witl flats for married tutors, and improved facilities for the conference trade — on which the College's finances are heavily dependent — the Appeal did refer to proposed new buildings, one to the north of Behan and another where the University Kindergarten is temporarily located. Implementation of these projects is, at best, uncertain since the A.U.C. has not recommended grants for these projects and the College cannot afford to proceed without such grants. We do, however, certainly still have an increasingly urgent need to provide suitable accommodation for married tutors and this year there are considerably more student applicants for residence than there are places. Another project, the renovation of the Chapel (in particular the Great West Window) is still planned and will be put in hand as soon as future developments elsewhere in the College are clearer. Donations to the Appeal are, of course, still welcomed and still tax deductible.

CENTENARY FAIR

LONG-TERM RESIDENTS

A merry-go-round, mini motor bikes. pony rides, a fortune teller, hoop-la, well stocked food and jumble stalls, hot coffee. hamburgers, pancakes — all these, and more were to be found in the Bulpadok on July 1st, when the College held a "Village Fair" as part of its Centenary celebrations. Indoors there were a film show for children, a study most carefully furnished in the style of a hundred years ago, a book sale, an exhibition of paintings and photographs by College students and a display of Trinitiana.

Changing times have produced a new kind of student — the man who wants to make the College his home not merely in term but for most if not all of the year. Traditionally, the College has done little for such a man, unless he was senior enough to negotiate an appointment as a Tutor. The structure of fees and charges assumed that "vacation" residence was exceptional. He had no right to retain his room in vacation and could be required to make it available for the use of guests and conferences.

The Fair was intended to provide a pleasant occasion, less formal than the other Centenary celebrations, in which students might actively participate, and which old Trinity men and their wives with young families might be able to attend. It was estimated that some eight hundred people attended in the course of the afternoon (the organizers had hoped for more). A splendid display of fireworks ended the Fair, and ushered in a most successful barbecue and dance. Generally the afternoon and evening were considered to have been most successful and enjoyable. The proceeds were shared between the College and the students; the students, in turn, sent their share to support the work of a Carlton's children's play centre and a school in the Solomon Islands, where a recent member of J.C.H. is teaching. Especial thanks are due to the small band of parents and other friends of the College, who provided goods for the stalls, and who helped to run them, and other activities.

While it is still not possible for us to abandon the traditional system entirely — for one thing, we cannot afford to forego the "conference trade" — we experimented successfully in 1972 with a scheme to assist the would-be "long-term resident". The whole of Upper Bishops' was set aside for such students. They were accorded undisturbed year-round occupancy of their rooms at a lower weekly rate, with a minimum occupancy period of 48 weeks, and certain other minor variations were made to the ordinary arrangements. The pantry on the floor was equipped with a stove and a double sink, to enable the residents to cook some at least of their own meals. The experiment was very successful. Once again, Upper Bishops' became a community of senior men, as in its earliest days. The arrangement was shown to meet a real need, and it was economically satisfactory to the College. We plan to continue it indefinitely, and have settled the details of the building's renovation accordingly.

CONCELEBRATED EUCHARIST Six of the ten "Trinity" Bishops concelebrated the Eucharist at a service in the College Chapel at noon on July 1st. The service, which was part of the Centenary celebrations, was attended by former resident and resident members of the College.

TRINITY MEN AND WOMEN "Co-education" in the Melbourne Colleges first made headline news in May of last year and has been featured in the press since. (Strictly, of course, it is "coresidence" — we have been co-educational for generations.) At the opening of the 1973 academical year, the only remaining all-male Colleges were Newman and ourselves, and University Women's and St. Mary's alone were reserved for women. Mr. J. H. Wilson.

THE BURSAR JOHN HAROLD WILSON was appointed Bursar at the end of 1971, following the resignation of Mr. D. B. Carswell. Born in Ireland, Mr. Wilson graduated with honours in modern languages at Trinity College, Dublin. After training for a year in Oxford with the overseas civil service he worked in Tanganyika and. afterwards, back in England. Since arriving in Australia he has worked in the fields of University and College administration — at Melbourne Grammar as Deputy Bursar, at the University of Melbourne, at Monash University and the Victorian Institute of Colleges. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have become known already throughout the College for their kindness and friendliness. They live in the Deanery.

• We, too, may enrol women in 1974. After long debate at two successive meetings, the Council resolved in August, 1972, "that this Council sees no objection in principle to the introduction of women residents, and invites the Warden to present proposals for their introduction to a later meeting of the Council." The move was supported in both the Senior and Junior Common Rooms. What persuaded the Council to make this momentous decision? It was not economic necessity, because the College was full and prospects appeared favourable. (Enrolments for 1973 have justified that optimism.) The Council accepted, however, that changing patterns within the community and experience elsewhere had established a substantial case for mixed colleges on educational and social grounds. Oxford and Cambridge Colleges were moving in that direction. Almost all new Australian colleges and halls were mixed. Most other Melbourne Colleges had already decided to make the change. Finally, the Council noted that the 1971 "market survey" undertaken for the Melbourne Colleges by research students in the School of Business Administration showed that mixed colleges were now preferred by an overwhelming majority of potential applicants; it accepted the Warden's point that if Trinity remained one of the few all-male colleges it was likely on this evidence to cut

itself off from a considerable proportion of the best male applicants, certainly as their college of first choice, and over the long term the effect on the College's standing, performance and morale could be very damaging. The great decision, then, has been taken. But its implementation will be delayed until certain legal and practical difficulties are overcome. In particular, it will be necessary to improve bathrooms and create suitable quarters for women Tutors. Ten years ago, even five years ago, the proposed change would have seemed revolutionary. Today, the presence of women has become so natural and ordinary a part of College life that the prospect of their living amongst us no longer seems so extraordinary. It is significant that the issue was never at any stage a very lively one within the present College community. For several years, Dr. Rosemary Fawns has been one of our Resident Medical Officers and she is a member of the Senior Common Room. In any case, were we not co-residential (in the sense in which that arrangement was then understood) for a full seventy-five years (1886 - 1961)? The notion of "Trinity women" is hardly new. —Robin L. Sharwood. A COMMENT I have had the opportunity of reading the Warden's statement in relation to the proposals for co-residence of men and women at Trinity. For what it is worth, I would like to say, as one who took no part in that decision but who has maintained fairly strong links with the College, that I entirely support the proposal. Experience elsewhere strongly supports the decision taken, and I think that the educational strength of the College virtually demands this change. The character of such an institution is not to be regarded as immutable and I hope that all friends of the College, whether as ex-students, as parents, or as donors to the Appeals, will recognise this and give the College the full support it needs to carry the project through. Trinity was forward-looking when it commenced the Janet Clarke Hostel and when it helped to give Janet Clarke Hall its legal freedom a few years ago, and I am glad that it remains confident enough in itself to have made this latest decision. — Robert K. Todd.
