REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNIVEESITY FROM 31ST JULY, 1910, to' 31 ST JULY, 1917. To -His EXCELLENCY, THB HON. SIB ARTHUR LTULI'H STANLEY, K.C.M.G., GOVERNOR OP VICTORIA. MAY IT PLEASE YOUII EXCELLENCY, I have the honour, in accordance with Section 27 of tlie University Act 1915, to submit to your Excellency the following report of the proceedings of the Univer­ sity during1 the past year: — 1—THE WAR. Tlie services whicli the University and members of the Staff have been able to render in connection with the war have continued on much the same lines as in previous years, although iu most departments the calls made upon the University have been'somewhat less than previously owing to the fact that war work has largely settled down into fixed channels. The effect on the attendances at the University has also continued in that the numbers of men students have continued to decrease and those of women students to increase. Comparing those in attendance on lectures in 1917 with those in attendance in 1914, there- are 292 -fewer mun and ll't more women, or if the Conservatorium jfigirres arc included, 290 fewer men and 173 more women. This result is obtained notwithstanding the abnormal 64-2 ANNUAL' REPORT, 10101017. increase in the number, of entries for tlie 1st year'medi­ cine, which is 1G3 (135 men and 28 women)'for 1917, as compared with 11 (i (107 men and 9 woinen) in 1914. The number of members of the University who have gone- overseas on war service has now been raised to about 14SIJ, and the list giving- this total cannot be regarded as complete. Of those who have given their lives, 110 were killed in action and 12 died ol illness. Kight are recorded as missing and three are jerisioners of war. The following is a. list of distinctions which have' been conferred on members of the University -. — Companion of the Bath, 3 ; Companion of St. Michael and St. George, 4; .Distinguished Service Order, 25 ; Victoria Cross, 1 ;. Military Cross, 41; Distinguished Conduct jMeilal,. 2 ;-. Military Medal, 3; Mentioned in Despatches, 7; French Ijegiou of Honour, Commander's Cross, 1 ; French War Cross, 4 ; Russian Order of St. George, 1 ; Russian Order of' St. Anne, 1.; Cavaliere of Italian Order of St.. Mark and. St. Lazarus, 1; Italian Silver Medal for Military Valour,!;: Serbian Order of the White Eagle, 1. Amongst those who have enlisted are:.—'• Professor Wallace, who enlisted in March, and was granted leave of absence, the Council expressing its'- Jiigh appreciation of his patriotic spirit. .Mr. H. W. Allen, Vice-Master of Orinond College, and Secretary and Treasurer of the Grounds Committee, who- also enlisted early in the year. Mr, H. A. S. Newton, Lecturer . in Regional and Applied Anatomy. ' •Mr. W. A,. M.' Blackett, Lecturer, and Mr. ,T...S.. Gawlcr, Assistant Lecturer in Architecture; also Mr. A. S. Eggleston, who was appointed Acting Lecturer in Architecture. Mr. R. H.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Harashim 2010
    Harashim The Quarterly Newsletter of the Australian & New Zealand Masonic Research Council ISSN 1328-2735 Issue 49 January 2010 First Prestonian Lecture in Australia John Wade at Discovery Lodge of Research Laurelbank Masonic Centre, in the inner Sydney suburbs, was the venue for the presentation of the first Prestonian Lecture in Australia by a current Prestonian Lecturer. Discovery Lodge of Research held a special meeting there on Wednesday 6 January to receive the Master of Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 EC, the editor of Ars Quatuor Coronatorum, and the Prestonian Lecturer for 2009—all in the person of Sheffield University’s Dr John Wade. Some 37 brethren attended the lodge, including the Grand Master, MWBro Dr Greg Levenston, and representatives from Newcastle and Canberra. WM Ewart Stronach introduced Bro Wade, outlining his academic and Masonic achievements, gave a brief account of the origin of Prestonian Lectures, and closed the lodge. Ladies and other visitors were then admitted, swelling the audience to 54, for a brilliant rendition of the lecture: ‘“Go and do thou likewise”, English Masonic Processions from the 18th to the 20th Centuries’. Bro Wade made good use of modern technology with a PowerPoint presentation, including early film footage of 20th-century processions, supplementing it with his own imitation of a fire-and-brimstone preacher, and a spirited rendition of the first verse of The Entered Apprentice’s Song.

  • Our Chemical Cultural Heritage Masson and Rivett (1858–1961) PETRONELLA NEL
    Our chemical cultural heritage Masson and Rivett (1858–1961) PETRONELLA NEL A new phase for chemistry at the University of Melbourne began in 1886, featuring David Masson and Albert Rivett, who also had instrumental roles in the birth of CSIRO. Organisation (CSIRO). Masson supported Antarctic research for 25 years, beginning with Douglas Mawson’s expedition of 1911. Born and educated in England at the University of Edinburgh, he was a noted lecturer and researcher. After the death of Kirkland in 1885, chemistry became part of the science degree, along with the appointment of Masson as professor in 1886. His research work included the theory of solutions, and the periodic classi8cation of the elements. Much of his research was done in collaboration with talented students such as David Rivett and his own son Irvine Masson. Masson was knighted in 1923. He is commemorated by the Masson Theatre and Masson Road at the University of Melbourne, a mountain range and island in Antarctica, a portrait painting by William McInnes in the foyer of the School of Chem- istry, the Masson lectureship from the Australian National Research Council, and the Masson Memo- Figure 1.

  • The Foundation of the Sydney School of Coordination Chemistry
    Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, vol. 133, pp. 45-60, 2000 45 ISSN 0035-9173/00/010045-16 $4.00/1 The Foundation of the Sydney School of Coordination Chemistry ANTHONY THOMAS BAKER ABSTRACT. The so-called 'Sydney School of Coordination Chemistry' has had an immense, even definitive, influence on Australian inorganic chemistry. Australian coordination chemists have been at the forefront of developments in the area and the international influence of many of the key figures (eg. Dwyer and Nyholm) has been widely acknowledged. The founders of the 'School' were E.E. Turner, an Englishman who briefly held an 1 1 9- 1 appointment at the University of Sydney ( 9 92 1 ) and George Joseph Burrows, who after Turner's return to England influenced colleagues and research students toward careers in coordination chemistry. The scientific backgrounds of the founders and the state of inorganic chemistry at the time of foundation have been considered in detail. World War I significantly changed university education and the attitude of governments to scientific research. The timing of these influences ensured that the new foundation would become firmly established. INTRODUCTION It is generally agreed that the first research in coordination chemistry in Australia was carried out at the University of Melbourne (Baker & Livingstone, 1985; Mellor, 1976). The legendary professor of chemistry, David Orme Masson and Bertram Dillon Steele, later to be professor of chemistry at the University of Queensland, demonstrated that copper was present as a cupritartrate anion in Fehling's solution (Masson & Steele, 1899). This work was revisited by Packer and Wark at Masson's suggestion some twenty years later (Packer & Wark, 1921).
