REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNIVERSITY FROM 31ST JULY. 1913. TO 31ST JULY, 1914. To His EXCELLENCY, THE HON. SIB ARTHUR LTULPH STANLEY, K.O.M.G., GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA. MAT IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY, I have the honour, in accordance with Section 27 of tbe University Act 1890, to submit to your Excellency the following report of the proceedings of the Univer­ sity during the past year: — 1.—UNIVERSITY ACT. The Council submitted to the Government in Novem­ ber, 1913, a comprehensive report concerning the con­ stitution and requirements of the University, and sub­ sequently emphasised the report in a deputation, which waited on the late Premier and Treasurer. No general amendment of the University Acts has, however, been submitted to Parliament during the year, nor has the expiry of certain of the provisions of the University Act, 1904, been provided for by new enactment. The University Act, 1913, has been passed, and women graduates holding the degrees of doctor or master have become members of the Senate, and women 632 ANNUAL RKPORT, 1918-1914. members voted at the election, held to fill the seat vacated by the late Dr. Williams, and now attend the meetings of the Senate. 2.—BRITISH ASSOCIATION VISIT. An event of the highest importance in the history of Australian Universities has been the visit, immediately after the close of the year covered by this report, of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, which has held sessions of its 84th Annual Meeting at Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The visit was the direct outcome of a resolution passed by the Council on the motion of Dr. Barrett at its meeting on 3rd May, 1900, affirming the desirability of inviting the British Association to visit Australia. Some 300 members from overseas journeyed to Australia, included in the number being many of the most distinguished British scientists of the'day, and about 40 representatives of foreign countries and the sister dominions. During the Melbourne Session, from August 13 to 19, the Council placed the whole of the University buildings at the disposal of the Association. Tbe Wilson Hall served as a general Reception Room, and the twelve Sections in which the' scientific proceedings of the Association were conducted, were distributed throughout the various .de­ partments. At a special conferring held in the Melba Hall, the degree of Doctor of Science was conferred with­ out examination upon the President of the Association, William Bateson, M. A.; and upon the following distinguished members, Sir Edward Albert Schiifer, LL.D., D.Sc, M.D.; Henry Edward Armstrong, Ph.D., LL.D.; Frank Watson Dyson, M.A., LL.D.; Sir Thomas Henry Holland. D.Sc.; William Jackson Pope, M.A., M.Sc, LL.D.; Alfred William Porter, B.Sc; Sir Ernest Rutherford, M.A., D.Sc, LL.D., Ph.D.; Johannes Walther, Ph.D.; William Morris Davis, D.Sc.; Charles Greeley Abbot, M.Sc.; Luigi Anthony Hector Luiggi, D.Sc. The total membership for the meeting was over 4900, an advance of nearly 1200 upon the previous highest figure recorded. Of the local members 2007 joined in Mel- ANNUAL REPORT, 19181914. 633 bourne, 1789 in Sydney, 587 in Adelaide, and 233 in Bris­ bane. Beyond the very stimulating results to both Australian and visiting scientific men which have followed from the intercourse of the meeting, it is matter for congratulation that as a result of action taken during its progress a defi­ nite decision has been reached regarding tbe construction and scope of the proposed Solar Observatory at Canberra; re­ search committees with combined money grants amount­ ing to .£470 have been appointed for the prosecution of specific Australian investigations; and a scheme is being developed for consideration in London by the Council of the Association whereby it will be made possible for repre­ sentatives of the Dominions to attend future meetings of the Association, and so help to make permanent the con­ nections created in meetings such as that of this year between the workers in science in distant parts of the Em­ pire. 3.—NUMBERS OF STUDENTS.

  • Reluctant Lawyer, Reluctant Politician
    Alfred Deakin (1856–1919) Australia’s 2nd Prime Minister Terms of office 24 September 1903 to 27 April 1904 • 5 July 1905 to 13 November 1908 • 2 June 1909 to 29 April 1910 Reluctant lawyer, reluctant politician Deakin first met David Syme, the Scottish-born owner of The Age newspaper, in May 1878, as the result of their mutual interest in spiritualism. Soon after, Syme hired the reluctant lawyer on a trial basis, and he made an immediate impression. Despite repeatedly emphasising how ‘laborious’ journalism could be, Deakin was good at it, able to churn out leaders, editorials, investigative articles and reviews as the occasion demanded. Syme wielded enormous clout, able to make and break governments in colonial Victoria and, after 1901, national governments. A staunch advocate of protection for local industry, he ‘connived’ at Deakin’s political education, converting his favourite young journalist, a free-trader, into a protectionist. As Deakin later acknowledged, ‘I crossed the fiscal Rubicon’, providing a first clear indication of his capacity for political pragmatism--his willingness to reshape his beliefs and ‘liberal’ principles if and when the circumstances required it. Radical MLA David Gaunson dismissed him as nothing more than a ‘puppet’, ‘the poodle dog of a newspaper proprietor’. Syme was the catalyst for the start of Deakin’s political career in 1879-80. After two interesting false starts, Deakin was finally elected in July 1880, during the same year that a clairvoyant predicted he would soon embark on a life-changing journey to London to participate in a ‘grand tribunal’. Deakin did not forget what he described as ‘extraordinary information’, and in 1887 he represented Victoria at the Colonial Conference in London.

(03) 9663 5259 rsv.org.au December Events Climate Extremes: Present and Future Thursday, 12th December from 6:30pm Climate extremes are events such as heatwaves, extreme rainfall, cyclones and drought that affect humans, our natural environment and multiple socio-economic systems. The evidence is now unambiguous that some climate extremes are responding to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, yet how some other extremes are responding is proving more complex. Join Professor Andy Pitman to explore the evidence for how and why climate extremes are changing, and what we can anticipate about how they will change in the future. The limits to our current capability and how climate science is trying to address those limits via new approaches to modelling will be discussed. About the speaker: Professor Andy Pitman AO is a Professor in climate science at the University of New South Wales. He is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEx), which brings together five Australian universities (including Monash University and the University of Melbourne) and a suite of international partner organisations to understand the behaviour of climate extremes and how they directly affect Australian natural and economic systems.

  • Reap the Benefits of the Successful Striv¬
    * i i i Foreword [ HIS BOOKLET, describing the growth and development of the T country districts of Victoria, laimamiamiait » « t t i M t i purpose. > » * has . • • • a double It is •4 * * m B* V * •«•liMWM ‘ designed to tell the story— of necessity briefly—of one of the eight great districts into which Vic¬ toria is divided. It is also designed to remind a new generation of the great and dominant part played in this story by UThe Age” throughout the 75 years of its far-sighted influence on public life. The pressure of to-day sometimes causes us to forget the debt due to yesterday. We i reap the benefits of the successful striv¬ ing and initiative of a great organ of public opinion, but forget the principles of policy upon which that striving and initiative are grounded. The supreme service rendered by “The Age” is comprehended in the twin policies of “Unlocking the Lands for the People and “Protection.” Each arose out of the 1 historic necessities of the State after the Gold Rush had ended. But each was based upon a reasoned conception of State¬ craft which aimed at a State consisting of hundreds of thousands of families working on farms and in factories, masters of their i own home market, owning on easy terms their own freeholds, protected by a tariff from the unfair competition of oversea competitors, and possessing such a wide franchise, and so many representative in¬ stitutions, as to be really a Free Democ¬ racy within the British Empire. The fight for these policies of “The Age” was long and sometimes bitter, but in the result splendidly successful.

  • The Making of Australian Federation: an Analysis of the Australasian Convention Debates, 1891, 1897-1898
    The Making of Australian Federation: An Analysis of The Australasian Convention Debates, 1891, 1897-1898 By Eli Kem Senior Seminar: Hst 499 Professor Bau-Hwa Hsieh June 15, 2007 Readers Professor Narasignha Sil Professor David Doellinger Copyright Eli Kem 2007 I The English constitution played a pivotal role in the shaping of the Australian constitution. This paper seeks to demonstrate the validity of this claim through an analysis of the debates in the Australian colonies of 1891-1898 and through emphasizing inter alia the role payed by one of the delegates Alfred Deakin. The 1890 Australasian Conference, held in Melbourne, had been instigated by a conference in England in 1887 where all the colonies of Britain met. The 1890 conference represented the British colonies in the region of Southeast Asia. Seven delegates from each of the seven colonies in the region met, and forced the question of unification of the colonies. Independence from Britain was not on their mind, only uniting to have one common voice and an equal stake within the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom. At the conference, the delegates initiated a discussion for the path to unification that would continue until 1901. The colonies had written a constitution in 1891, and debates took place in 1891, 1897, and 1898 with the lapse in debate due to an economic depression. By 1901 the colonies had agreed on a constitution and it was ratified by an act of Parliament in Britain, which allowed the five colonies on Australia and Tasmania to unify. Essentially, the debate centered on the distribution and balance of power among the states.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. 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.

With the exception of two rather excited and pugulistic book dealers, most of the buyers were pleased with the range of books available althoiigh the prices of some volmes designated 'rare' were rather high. However, as far as the Labour History Society was concerned, the Pair was very successful, A member of o\ir Canberra Executive, Eric Fry, came down to lead a seminar on the writing of labour history. It was a particularly well-attended seminar with about 50 people present, Eric's talk in opening discussion on the subject was very well received and encouraged many of those present to 'offer their opinions on how labour history might be written and to whom it might be directed.
