Last year's academic results were a credit THE PEGASUS both to the boys who achieved them and to their school. They are an indication, it is true, of the increasing pressure for University entrance which has made boys more aware of the need for hard, well-organized study. However, they are also an indication of the improved conditions boys are working under at The Geelong College. These improvements are seen in both facili­ ties and atmosphere. Not only has the Library, for example, improved markedly in size, fittings and stock, but there has also been a commend­ able improvement in the attitude of boys in the Library—there has been an increasingly studious atmosphere. Other physical improve­ ments like the additional provision of study cubicles for boarders, the extended science laboratory accommodation, the increasing use of the latest teaching aids and the organization of remedial teaching have also all contributed. And, of course, it is hardly necessary to add that the staff too have made no small con­ tribution. Altogether there were twenty-eight first class honours, fifty-five second class honours and twenty-five tertiary Commonwealth Scholar­ ships won by boys of the Matriculation class. While last year's results may not be repeated in detail over the next few years, there is a growing confidence in the academic well-being of the school. As these results encourage belief in a present growth at the College, memories of past greatness have been prompted by the death of Sir Francis Rolland. There is no doubt that the period of Sir Francis's Head- mastership from 1920 to 1945 was one of the most outstanding in the School's history. Else­ where in this edition a full account of Sir Francis's life and work may be found. It is to be hoped that all who are associated with the College will take inspiration from the work of Sir Francis Rolland, and through such efforts as were shown in the Matriculation results, and through such faith as is currently being shown in the support for the Morrison Hall Appeal and the re-organization of the Old Collegians' Association, will justify his devotion to our Geelong College. However, the individual must realize that neither tradition, nor facilities, nor teachers will give him good results, that he must actively take advantage of what is provided for him. 6—THE PEGASUS,

The funeral service at Scots Church, Mel­ bourne, on January 26 was attended by a large congregation with a wide range of interests, including Old Boys representing more than seventy years in the history of the Geelong College, and many present and past members of Council and Staff and other friends. The atmosphere in the church, and later at the Springvale Crematorium, was one of tran­ quillity and of gratitude for the great life with which all those present were linked in one way or another. For many groups and individuals the passing of Sir Francis Holland marks the end of an epoch. The College community belongs to these. It is true that the College since 1945 had not known him as closely as an earlier generation, though his name remains an im­ portant part of it, but he frequently came among us in person, almost to the last, and was always eager for news from Geelong. Although he was working on new projects, his thoughts were close to the great developments taking place here, and still reaching out into the future, as shown by his interest last year in the reorganization of the Old Geelong Col­ legians' Association. THE KNIGHTLY QUEST When Francis William Rolland was born at Frank Rolland was a tall boy, good at his St. George's Manse, Geelong, on June 12, 1878, school work, as at tennis and cricket, a prefect he was already closely connected with the at the Toorak school and a natural leader with Geelong College.

TO ROLLAND OF GEELONG

Perhaps the desert spaces strengthened vision In former days, or searching farther seas Confirmed a northern heritage of dreaming Which never sought its peace in leisured ease; Be as it may: these sunlit acres cherish The grace of years, the dignity of toil, And future generations reap the harvest— Triumphant verdure sprung from arid soil. When, in this continent, we find salvation From lethargy, and face with eager heart Her splendid challenge to a fearless nation, In your example some will find their part. Nobly you captained in the fields of youth, Your weapons, beauty, and your armour, truth. Anon. ("The Pegasus", Dec, 1945) JUNE, 1965—11

However, his normal mood was that of easy, slow-moving, slightly-smiling restraint, a sphinx-like inscrutability, with the minimum of words, almost as though he had forgotten to say something. Some people found him hard to talk to: his softly spoken, subtle, staccato comments were often difficult to keep up with, or to answer, when he turned the conversation into a fencing bout. At other times, socially, he spoke freely enough, but preferred whimsical comment to any discus­ sion of his own feelings. When something really amused him, he would throw his head back in a paroxysm of gentle laughter. By contrast, his formal public utterances, which were usually prepared with great care, were pronounced in his thinly ringing voice with incisiveness and authority. His sermons and addresses were enriched from his wisdom and wide experience, and he was always liable to introduce touches of epigrammatic humour "Mr. ROLLAND" calculated to startle his listeners to attention. Those who knew Mr. Rolland at the Geelong "A headmaster's work consists mainly of in­ College will never forget him, and, although terruptions to it."

When he took office there was a standing in the community which it had heavy debt, and members of Council seemed lacked for many years.

No progress could be made under support. such conditions. Mr. Holland demanded that He had strong views on the attitudes of the rot be stopped and that Old Collegians Old Boys, especially those who made adverse be persuaded to put the College on a sound comparisons with the "good old days", paid footing by voluntary giving. He was prepared lip-service to the College, and did nothing to to resign over this point, and, of course, he support it actively. He insisted that looking had his way. On the question of moving the back to the past is one thing, but wanting College out of town he made a compromise. to go back is another. He valued the positive From the first he had marked down the site assistance of the O.G.C.A. and, after 1945, overlooking Queen's Park, and after forty enjoyed being an honorary life member and years his ambitions were realized in part.

His first such address,

THE HEADMASTER AND HIS PREFECTS, 1936 JUNE, 1965—13 in 1920, gave an example of the sugar-coated, bitter pills which he prescribed. He declared that "sport, as a servant, is one of God's best gifts, . . . but sport as a master, as an end in itself, produces moral and mental slackers, who will never sacrifice their own pleasure for the good of the community". (All this in a school where young men commonly spent years in the same class, unable to ad­ vance academically, but living as sporting stars.) He went on to say: "It is easier to talk of educational ideals than to educate. If one's educational creed can in time be ex­ pressed in the character, the physique and the mental alertness of the boys of the school, it need not be proclaimed in words, and if it cannot be thus expressed it is not worth talk­ ing about." In later years he often did try to tell people what he meant, and the pith of it was invariably that the type of boy taken into the school is less important than the type turned out. He was always strongly for the "under S. B. Calvert and F. W. Rolland, 1921 dog".

The American Field Service is financed by David with Lance Asplin contributions from large companies, and the applicant must pay £325 towards the cost of the trip.

DEATH IN A STRANGE COUNTRY In foetid furs he lay, LEAD TO GOLD Aged face clasped in bony hands, The great grim ceiling, gathers overhead, Body fever-racked Impetuous, motionless, heavy like lead. And eyes glaring. And it echoes the dimness, still and grey, And presses down on the hot muddy day. Aeons ago in a gulf of time He led a band of flying horsemen. Its weight does increase but because of its The acrid smell of sweating horses greed, And the frenzied cries again he heard. It denies the ground its priceless feed. He saw the straining men And it bulges and rumbles yet still will not Hearts beating and sinews straining, yield Eyes starting like boulders from their sockets, Its wonderful treasures to the beckoning field. And nostrils, distended in the chase. Then the golden spears of self sacrifice But now; a frail echo of a prince, The leaden layer do entice. He crouched as the tawny stealthy death And the heavy ceiling, by them battered, approached. Falls to the ground, completely shattered. Transfigured by his gaping wound He was, once more, a king. But as it falls its value increases, And from being a useless burden it ceases, He condemned them in their bastardy For by giving it has profited a thousand fold, And cursed them in their pride And from the lead was reaped the gold. And there upon the glowing sand With his God; he died. —N. L. Smith. —P. L. D. 28—THE PEGASUS,

Vice-Captain. Philip and Bill carried out their duties efficiently and had the confidence of both coach and team members. It was in fact, a very happy season despite our lack of success. As previously stated our batting proved adequate, and scored runs which should have won matches. Our bowlers, except for early bursts, failed to penetrate when needed SPORT in the middle of the innings; lack of a really good spin bowler was a handicap we could not overcome. As in 1964 our fielding left a lot to be desired, especially in slips and close in, however the out cricket fielding, throwing and catching, was very good. Individual highlights were the consistent batting of Philip Marshall, good swing bowling by David Myers, and the all round efforts of Geoff Oman. Special mention can be made CRICKET of Andrew Steele, our opening batsman, and Master-in-charge: E. B.

How long can this contrast continue? What is to become of Australia in the next half century? The answer is by no means clear.
