ANNUAL REPORT, 1917-18. REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNIVERSITY FROM :31ST JULY, 1917 to 31ST JULY, 1918. To HlS ExCELLEKCl7. THE HON. Sin ARTHUR JJYULVK STANLEY, K.C.M.G.,. GOVEKNOB CP VLCTOKIA. MAT IT PI.KASE YOUH EXCELLENCY, 1 have the honour, in accordance with Section 27 of the University Act 1.915, to submit to your Excellency the following report of the proceedings of the University during the past- year: — 1.— DEATH Ol-vTHE CHANCELLOR Ou tire lOtlr March the University lost in the death of its Chancellor, the Hon.' Sir Johm Mudde'nl G.OiM.G., B.A., LL.D., D.C.L., one of its most distinguished graduates and one in whose affections the University held a large place. Sir John Madden had been a, member of Council for 39 years, he had held the office of Warden of the Senate for seven years, that of Vice- Clianccllor for eight, and that of Chancellor for 20 years. During this long period he had filled a. very large place in public life, as a leading member of the bar, as a member of Parliament and Minister of the Crown, and later as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria and Lieutenant-Governor, in which latter capacity he filled the office of j\cting- Govcrnor on many occasions. Notwithstanding his otlier distinguished offices and numerous interests, he maintained to the end a keen interest in the University, and a deep concern for its welfare, and he never failed ANNUAL BEl'OBT, 191M01S. CS1. to respond to any call upon liim for assistance in any University effort. His high ideals of University life- and learning, and his courtesy and consideration at all times ensured the respect and affection of all sections of the University, which sincerely mourns his death. 2.—THE WAR. The calls made upon the University for special war- service have continued to contract, although the ser­ vices of a number of members of the staff have been used to a greater or less extent. Two members of the Council are still at the war. They arc Lieut.-Col. Sir James Barrett and Lieut.- General Sir John Monash. Both have been honoured during the year. Sir James Barrett has had the Order of K.B.E. conferred upon him, and Sir John Monash has received that of K.C.B., and has further been ad­ vanced to the rank of Lieut.-General, aud given the full command of the Australian .'Army Corps. Tlie. Council has great pleasure in reporting these facts. Recognis­ ing the important work being done by its absent mem­ bers, it has extended their leave of absence for a further 12 months. iMr. H. R. Seddon, B.V.Sc, Lecturer in Veterinary Pathology, has enlisted, having been enabled to do so by the return of Professor Woodruff. Towards the close of 1917 the Council caused notices to- be posted to the effect that the Council urged upon men students the duty of rendering to the Empire all the personal service of whicli they might be capable; that those of military age and fitness should seriously con­ sider whether they ought not to offer their services at the front; and that no considerations of commercial or professional advantage should be allowed to stand in the way of this plain duty. The question ot the special position of medical students regarding enlistment has been discussed from time to time during the war. It came un again early in 1918, and the Faculty of Medicine decided that in its opinion medical students in' their first, second and third years might- enlist without endangering an ade­ quate supply of medical practitioners for the future? needs of the community. (532 ANNUAL REPORT, lOlM'.US. The enlistment of members of the University has continued throughout the year, the total number of enlistments having grown to 1724, being an increase of 2-14 over the total reported 12 months ago.

The historical documents are few, and the surviving evidence of the past with regard to our smallest cathedral is scanty at the best. The chief books of reference have been Browne Willis's valuable "Survey of St. Asaph,'' published in 1720, also Edwards' edition of the same published at Wrexham in 1801, and the learned work by the Ven. Archdeacon Thomas, M.A., F.S.A., on " The Diocese of St. Asaph." " Storer's Cathedrals," pub- lished in i8ig, together with similar works, have also been consulted.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

  • Lessons in Leadership the Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD
    Lessons in Leadership The Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD By Rolfe Hartley FIEAust CPEng EngExec FIPENZ Engineers Australia Sydney Division CELM Presentation March 2013 Page 1 Introduction The man that I would like to talk about today was often referred to in his lifetime as ‘the greatest living Australian’. But today he is known to many Australians only as the man on the back of the $100 note. I am going to stick my neck out here and say that John Monash was arguably the greatest ever Australian. Engineer, lawyer, soldier and even pianist of concert standard, Monash was a true leader. As an engineer, he revolutionised construction in Australia by the introduction of reinforced concrete technology. He also revolutionised the generation of electricity. As a soldier, he is considered by many to have been the greatest commander of WWI, whose innovative tactics and careful planning shortened the war and saved thousands of lives. Monash was a complex man; a man from humble beginnings who overcame prejudice and opposition to achieve great things. In many ways, he was an outsider. He had failures, both in battle and in engineering, and he had weaknesses as a human being which almost put paid to his career. I believe that we can learn much about leadership by looking at John Monash and considering both the strengths and weaknesses that contributed to his greatness. Early Days John Monash was born in West Melbourne in 1865, the eldest of three children and only son of Louis and Bertha. His parents were Jews from Krotoshin in Prussia, an area that is in modern day Poland.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 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 II K-Z 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.

  • 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.
