THE ORMOND CHAIR OF MUSIC AND THE CONSERVATORIUM The Chair of Music was founded in the University of Melbourne by the generous endowment (f20,000) of the late Mr. Francis Ormond in 1891. Three years later, in 1894, the Conservatorium was established.

THE BUILDING The present building consists of twenty teaching rooms, a finе lecture hall, concert hall (known as Melba Hall), Director's room, administrative offices, library, social room and staff and students' rooms.

AIM OF THE CONSERVATORIUM The chief aim of the Conservatorium is co provide a general course of musical education, while provision is also made for specialization in any particular subject. In the absence, on leave, of Mr. Henri Touzeau, Mr. Keith Humble has directed the orchestra. A programme was provided for the National Council of Women at the Melbourne Town Hall, and by the end of the year three concerts will have been given in Melba Hall. At two of these concerts a number of students will have had an opportunity to appear as soloists with the orchestra. Union Theatre Lunch-Time Concerts With the continued support of the Warden of the Union, a successful series of lunch-time concerts has been given. Students have provided the programmes, and this important contribution to the corporate life of the University has obviously been warmly appreciated. Music students have likewise contributed largely to the success of the "Union Nights". Library From time to time I have commented on the need for a new library, since the continuing accretions to our important collection cannot be accommodated properly. Purchases of new works are necessarily being made, in order to keep the library up to date, and it is with profound gratitude that I acknowledge our debt to the many well-wishers of the department who send along gifts of music, often extensive collections, from which more and more students are able to borrow. At present we have not the storage space for all the material which might be displayed. . Approved organizations such as the Australian Broadcasting Commission and kindred institutions continue to take advantage of a reciprocal arrangement cover- ing the use of the orchestral scores and parts. Australian Music Examinations Board The importance of the Board's graded examinations, which are now under- taken by nearly 60,000 candidates annually throughout Australia, cannot be stressed too often, for there is possibly no country in which a greater proportion of young people have such formal training in music. The constantly increasing entry for the examinations shows that teachers, institutions and parents appreciate the work of the Board. The grade examinations serve purposes which are quite alien to competitions, in that they provide a carefully prepared series of objectives for the young student ; each candidate is examined by a specialist teacher who furnishes an exhaustive report on the work presented, and teaching methods are authorita- tively checked. In this my final report I wish to place on record my thanks to those who have with such tireless energy and loyalty assisted me in the administration of the Conservatorium ; to Mr. J. Sutton Crow and his successor, Mr. Paull Fiddian, and the administrative staff, to Dr. Percy Jones and the members of our teaching staff. To the University Council I owe my greatest debt. During my term of office the University has consistently recognized the aims of the founder of the Ormond Chair of Music, namely "to found and endow a Chair of Music in the said University with intent thereby to provide instruction in the Science and Art of Music in the said University and to promote musical culture in the Colony of Victoria". Its liberal and realistic interpretation of those terms has con- tributed in full measure to the great development of musical activity in Victoria in the last thirty years. Active encouragement of music in our community, as well as its academic study, has enabled me to organize and develop musical activities which are a lasting reminder of the University's foresight. The University, realizing the educational significance of the establishment of radio in Australia, generously placed my services at the disposal of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, and thus initiated a series of developments which in- fluenced musical education and taste throughout Australia. It can truthfully be said that this University originated plans for musical development which have since been adopted throughout the Commonwealth. That I should have been en- trusted with the presentation of these plans leaves me forever indebted to those who made my activities possible. For it is just and proper to say that had they not had the authority of the University behind them, many of these proposals would never have been implemented. The study, practise and appreciation of music gained considerable benefits from this policy. Our students have opportunities for active participation in the performance of music, and are thus able to combine their practical and academic studies to the betterment of both. Moreover, the University has extended its influence beyond its walls through musical contact with schools, young people and adult music-lovers. Finally, may I offer my heartfelt gratitude to all those within and without the University who, by sympathetic encouragement and understanding, and frequently by valuable gifts and endowments, have made the thirty years in which I have been privileged to serve this University so richly rewarding. I am, Your obedient servant, BERNARD HEINZE, (Ormond Professor) Dean of the Faculty of Music COURSES OF STUDY The work of the Conservatorium is divided into three schools : 1. Introductory School. 2. Degree and Diploma School. З. Master School.

Bac. or for the Diploma in Music, and provides a compre- hensive course of study termed the Full Course. Other students, however, are admitted to the Course, or may, with the permission of the Director, take portions only of the curriculum. The Full Course includes : (a) Chief Study.—Each student must select a Chief Study, that is to say, a practical study to which he intends to devote his chief attention. Candi- dates for the Third Year Diploma in Schools A (a) and В (a), however, will receive fifty minutes' personal attention in place of a Second Study. (b) Second Study.—The student, in addition, receives instruction in a second practical study in the choice of which he should consult the Director. (c) Harmony and Counterpoint. (d) Music А, В and C (Musical History). (e) Orchestration. (f) Sight Reading and Ear Training.

For Regulations see page 26 to 37 and for Details of Subjects see page 38 et seq. Degree in School Music This new school is designed with a view to the requirements of candidates for the Degree of Mus. Bac. and provides a comprehensive course of study for those desirous of teaching the subject in schools. 12

Master School This School is open to those who have obtained the Degree or the Diploma in Music in School A (a) or B (a) and (b) (see pages 26-37) or to those who may give other evidence of fitness satisfactory to the Director. It is intended for students showing an undoubted ability as solo performers. Single Studies With the approval of the Director, students who are not candidates for the Degree or the Diploma may enter for Study in Pianoforte, Violin, Singing and Composition, at a fee of 5 to 16 guineas per term (according to teacher selected and duration of the weekly lesson). Single Study students will be entitled to attend the weekly Concert Practice, and will be required to take part in Conservatorium activities such as vocal and instrumental ensemble classes as prescribed by the Faculty of Music, provided that in special cases of hardship exemption may be granted. Special Classes for students of Wind Instruments and for Ensemble Playing, Music for Two Pianofortes, French, German, Italian, Diction, or any other subject approved by the Director, may be arranged at any time, and are not confined to students of the Conservatorium. Opera School The Opera School provides for the study of Grand Opera. University Conservatorium Symphony Orchestras Rehearsals of the University Conservatorium Orchestras (senior and junior) are held weekly. Students who have attained a suffiicient degree of proficiency on an orchestral instrument must attend these rehearsals, at which Symphonies, Overtures, Concertos, etc., will be studied. Membership is open to outside players without payment of fee. Extra Classes Students are expected to attend certain general classes. 1. Instrumental and Vocal Ensemble Students of the Conservatorium are expected to gain experience in Ensemble work when, in the opinion of the Director, they have attained a suffiicient degree of proficiency, for which purpose they will attend such classes as may be arranged by the Director. 2. Orchestral Class For instruction in the rudiments of orchestral playing preparatory to the University Conservatorium Orchestra. One hour weekly. 3. Concert Practice A short weekly concert, at which students will have an opportunity of gaining experience in public performance, will be held. All students of the Conservatorium should attend this class. All classes are open to the public on payment of the prescribed fee (see below).

Entry and Payment of Fees 1. Fees may be paid annually or in terminal instalments. 2. All fees must be paid to the credit of the University Account at the National Bank, Collins Street, or at one of its branches, at least a fortnight before the beginning of each term. This rule applies to both "Full Course" and "Single Studý" students. For "Single Study" students there are four terms in the year, as for "Full Course" students, but because the "Full Course terms vary in length and the "Single Studý" fee is for nine lessons, "Single Study" students are required to pay fees whenever nine lessons have been completed, or a fortnight before the beginning of the following "Full Course" term, whichever is the earlier. "Single Study" students are required to pay fees for a terre and a half in respect of the first term and, if enrolled in the first term, for half a term in respect of the third term. • For full course students of three year" Standing. for students repeating year. or for atudents attending teacůerť classes. 14 3. An enrolment card, duly filled in and accompanied by the duplicate bank pay-in slip, must be furnished when the entry is first made for any particular year. For the following terms the duplicate pay-in slip must be sent to the office. 4. Failure to pay the fee, to forward the pay-in slip, or to send the filled-in entry form (when the latter is required) before the last day for payment of fees for each term renders a student liable to a late fee of ten shillings. 5. No student shall be admitted to the Examinations unless the full fee for the year has been paid. Admission 1. Before entering the Conservatorium, intending students must satisfy the Ormond Professor of their proficiency. The Australian Music Examination Board's Certificate of having passed in Fifth Grade Practice will be accepted as evidence of such proficiency. The Secretary will be in attendance to interview all new students from 31st January. Appointments to see the Director should be made through the Secretary. 2. It is not necessary to matriculate or to pass the qualifying examinations as set out in Regulations LII and LIV unless the student intends to enter on the course for Degree or Diploma. 3. Students may enter the Conservatorium at the beginning of any term. Matriculation and Faculty Pre-requisites All first year students in the Degree Course must matriculate—i.e., make the prescribed declaration and sign the matriculation roll—at the Registrar's Office during the first term. The dates fixed for matriculation in 1957 are 11th and 16th April. Unless this is done no subjects passed can count towards the degree. Students should satisfy themselves that they are qualified to matriculate before enrolling. Attention is drawn to the following points relevant to the obtaining of the matriculation qualification: In order to become qualified to matriculate, candidates must— (a) obtain the School Leaving Certificate and be credited therein with five subjects including (i) English, (ii) a branch of Mathematics or of Science, (iii) one other subject chosen from the languages other than English, Greek and Roman History, Modern History, British History, Economics, Social Studies; (b) pass the Matriculation Examination by obtaining credit for four subjects including English Expression; (c) attain the age of seventeen years by March 31st in the year concerned. In addition to matriculating, candidates must also have passed the pre- requisite subjects (if any) prescribed for their course. For the course for the Degree of Bachelor of Music, the pre-requisites comprise passes at the Matricula- tion Examination in Music (Practical) and Music (Theoretical) ; provided that in lieu of Music (Practical) and Music (Theoretical) a candidate may pass the examination of the first year of the course for the Diploma in Music. Ex-service candidates (i.e., those who have given not less than twelve months' service in the armed forces of the United Nations in Korea), and in special cases other candi- dates, may be given special treatment as regards pre-requisites. Enquiries in such cases should be made of the Registrar. The Professorial Board has discretionary powers concerning matricula- tion, and certain matriculation concessions may be made to candidates in the following categories : (a) Persons who in their first University year become 17 years of age after 31st March but before the start of the Annual Examinations may be admitted to matriculation if they have fulfilled one of the following conditions : (a) passed the Matriculation Examination twice, (b) passed the Matriculation Examination with a minimum of three honours, (c) passed the Matriculation Examination with particular distinction but with less than three honours. 15 In each case the Professorial Board will satisfy itself about the maturity of the candidate. (b) Adult matriculants (i.e., persons who are at least twenty years of age and also have left school four full years on 31st March). Such candidates are normally required to satisfy certain special tests, and pass a reduced number of subjects at the Matriculation Examination. (c) Special cases (i.e., persons whose studies have been hampered by illness or by changes in requirements, or whose qualifications are deficient only in a very minor respect). Individual determinations are made in these cases. (d) Persons in employment. Candidates who are in full-time employment and have passed the necessary School Leaving subjects may qualify to matriculate by passing, while in full-time employment, in four Matricula- tion subjects including English Expression at any three sittings. (e) Technical college students. Candidates with approved technical college qualifications are qualified to matriculate if they have passed at the Matriculation Examination in English Expression. (f) Ad eundem statum applicants. Candidates who have qualified to matricu- late in another recognized University may be admitted to matriculation. All candidates for special forms of matriculation should consult the Matricula- tion Officer in the Registrar's Offiсе, who will advise them as to the form of application required. Graduation The dates for conferring Degrees in 1957 are as follows : Wednesday, 20th March. Saturday, 6th April (Annual Commencement). Monday, 5th August. Saturday, 21st December. Candidates for Degrees and Diplomas must lodge an application on the pre- scribed form, obtainable at the Registrar's like, by the date set down in the list of Principal Dates. This application must be accompanied by a bank-slip for the Degree or Diploma fee. The fees are as follows : For the Degree of Bachelor of Music .. .. Lilli 0 For the Degree of Doctor of Music ...... 2б 5 0* For the Diploma in Music .. 3 3 0 Library Students have access to a library of works of reference in addition to orchestral, vocal, operatic and chamber music scores. Orchestral works are also available for approved borrowers on payment of a small fee. Orchestral Instruments The Conservatorium possesses a set of orchestral instruments at normal pitch, in addition to which the Lady Northcote Permanent Orchestra Trust has placed at the disposal of students and orchestral players, a complete set of instru- ments which were presented by the late Dame Nellie Melba. These instruments are available for the use of students and members of the Orchestra at a hiring fee of fl ls. per term. Instruments are delivered to students in good condition, and students are responsible for maintaining them in good repair at their own expense. Normal Pitch Standards The Government has deposited a set of Normal Pitch Standards in the University Physics Laboratory. These are available for use on payment of a small fee. Student Facilities Students Club The Students' Club is open to all present members of the University Conservatorium. Its aim is to foster the social life of the Conservatorium, and to bring the students into closer personal relations with each other. • Less examination fee. 16 Student Health Service. A mass anti-T.В. campaign will be organized during 1957, when a mobile X-ray unit will visit the University. Arrangements will also be made for Mantoux skin tests and B.C.G. vaccinations for students during the year. The S.R.C. also conducts a free eye examination scheme in conjunction with the Australian College of Optometry. Examinations are carried out by final year optometry students, under supervision, at the Collins Street clinic of the College. Students who desire to have their eyes examined should make appointments at the Australian College of Optometry, Fourth Floor, Kurrajong House, 177 Collins Street, or by telephoning MF 2879. After examination, students receive a report on the condition of their eyes. If treatment is necessary students are then advised to consult a practitioner of their own choice. Blood Donors. Blood donors are urgently needed. In this University there are approximately six thousand students; contributions from these students would greatly alleviate this need. Any who are able to contribute should contact the S.R.C. Office, Union House. Student Housing and Union Exchange. See under The Union. Air Force and Army Training Units The attention of students is drawn to University units for the training of Air Force and Army personnel. Information concerning the Melbourne University Regiment may be obtained from the M.U.R. Training Depot; details of the Melbourne University Air Force Squadron may be obtained from Squadron-Leader C. G. Harvey, Warburton Lane, off Little Bourke St., C.1. Student Guidance Student Counsellor The Student Counsellors' office is located on the first floor of the temporary administrative building at the north end of Wilson Hall. The student counsellors (Mr. R. Priestley and Mr. D. S. Anderson) are available to help students and intending students with problems such as choice of course or career, difficulties in settling down to study, adjustment to University life and financial and personal difficulties. They are available in the usual University hours, preferably with, but if necessary without, an appointment. Matriculation students and others not yet enrolled at the University should ring FJ 0484, extension 411, for an appointment. The Student Counsellor acts as liaison between the student and the Appoint- ments Board where a student is in need of information regarding future employment opportunities or has a special employment problem. Overseas Students The Overseas Students Advisory Committee is composed of staff and student representatives and exists to advise the Vice-Chancellor on matters related to the welfare of students from other countries. The Committee can arrange to get in touch with students before they leave for Australia, meet them on arrival and assist them during their first period in Melbourne. During vacations, particularly May, arrangements can be made for overseas students to spend holidays with private families in the country. The Committee co-operates closely with the Housing Officer, Student Coun- sellors and Appointments Board on matters of accommodation, welfare and employment respectively. Enquiries from overseas students are welcome at the S.R.C. office and the Student Counsellor's office. The Union The Union is an organization designed to provide a common centre for the many important activities of University life outside the lecture room and the labora- tory. In addition to providing a common meeting ground and social centre for students of all faculties, the Union in various ways, e.g., through its Theatre, Library and Music Room, seeks to promote broader cultural interests and in general to emphasize the importance, in a real University course, of a wide variety of activities not directly connected with examinations, and to encourage in every student reason- able participation in the non-academic side of University life. 17 Student ноusing • Accommodation can be found for students, either in hostels, private homes, flats ar guest houses, through the Housing Officer. This service is free but, as suitable accommodation is limited, students can contribute considerably to its effectiveness and administration by informing the Housing Officer when their needs are met. The Housing Officer, Miss E. Hartstein, is situated in an office opening off the Men's Lounge on the first floor of Union House. Union Exchange (a) Text-books. The Exchange accepts books for sale to other students at two-thirds, or less, of the new price according to condition. The seller collects the proceeds less a small handling charge. (b) Services. Diy cleaning, boot repairs, laundry and such like services are handled at special rates through the Exchange. (c) Discount service. The Union has arranged with certain city firms for discounts to be given to its members. Information (and a member's privilege card) may be obtained at the Exchange or the Union Office. The Exchange is located on the first floor of Union House at the east end. Catering Midday and evening meals are provided in term in the Cafeteria. Members who bring their own lunches may eat them in the Buffet (where tea and coffee are available) or, when the weather is favourable, on the lawns or the roof garden. A sandwich bar is located on the west side of Union House in a detached building. Facilities for private entertaining are available to members. Other Facilities The Union Theatre, the Ewing Art Gallery (approached through the Theatre), the Rowden White Library (upstairs in the south-east corner) are major features of Union House. Lounges, a Music Room and a Billiard Room are available for the use of members. "Union Night" Every Saturday night in the first and second terms a social evening known as "Union Night" is held in the Union House. This usually takes the form of films or music, followed by supper, after which there is informal dancing until 11.30 p.m. This is free and all Union members are welcome.

Walter Kirby Singing Scholarship.—The late Walter Kirby bequeathed to the University the sum of f1,000 to establish a singing scholarship to be known as "The Walter Kirby Singing Scholarship". The Scholarship, which is open without any restriction, is awarded each year and the amount is the net income produced by the fund, and is applied first towards the fees payable for such course at the University Conservatorium as may be prescribed by the Ormond Professor. If any balance remain after the payment of these fees, it is paid to the scholar in half-yearly instalments in March and September. The Scholarship is awarded annually and for one year, but it may be re- awarded without examination to the previous holder. Austral Salon Scholarship.—А Scholarship to be known as "The Austral Salon Scholarship" was established in 1948 by the President, Committee and members of the Austral Salon. The Scholarship may be awarded to a First, Second or Third Year student taking the full course for the Diploma or Degree in either the Instrumental or Vocal School. It is awarded for one year, but may be renewed for three further periods of one year each on the recommendation of the Ormond Professor. The Scholarship is to the value of f50. One purpose of the Scholarship being to assist a needy student, if possible, candidates who wish to be considered on the ground of means will be required to submit a statement of their financial position. The C. D. Hume Violin Scholarship.—Established by a gift of 1,000 by Mr. C. D. Hume, and first awarded in 1950. Candidates must be qualified to enter on the full course. The Scholarship is awarded annually for one year, the amount being the annual income of the fund, and the award may be renewed for two further periods of one year on the recommendation of the Ormond Professor. 21 Alberto Zelman Memorial Violin Scholarship.—A Scholarship has been founded in memory of the late Alberto Zelman. Its value is the amount donated from year to year, and it may be used for violin study as approved by the Ormond Professor. T. Allan McKay Pianoforte Scholarship.—A Scholarship to be known as the "T. Allan McKay Pianoforte Scholarship" has been established by Mr. T. Allan McKay. There are no pre-requisites, the holder studying pianoforte and such other subject or subjects as may be prescribed by the Ormond Professor. The value of the Scholarship is the income on f1,000. It is awarded in the first instance for one year, but may be renewed for two further periods of one year. Muriel Check Memorial Singing Scholarship.—Friends and admirers of the late Miss Muriel Cheek have established a Scholarship in singing to be known as the "Muriel Cheek Memorial Scholarship". There are no pre-requisites. The value of the Scholarship is the income on #1,000. It may be awarded for three years, but its retention depends upon the diligence and development of the holder from year to year. Albert Guy Miller Scholarship.—A Scholarship to the value of #40 known as "The Albert Guy Miller Scholarship" has been founded at Trinity College. Full information may be obtained from the Warden of the College. Bursaries for Wind Instrument Shuíeпts.—Students taking a wind instrument as a Practical Study may be granted Bursaries on the recommendation of the Ormond Professor.

The laude Harrington Priдe.—Founded in 1908 by Miss laude Harrington (Mrs. Alberto Zelman), who presented to the Conservatorium the sum of f50, being the amount won by her in an Operatic Competition at the Exhibition of Women's Work in 1907. The prize consists of books to the value of f3 and is given for proficiency in the art of accompanying a singer on the Pianoforte. It is open to all students taking a full course for the Degree or Diploma in Music. The examination is held in December, and consists of (1) Prepared rehearsed accom- paniments of various schools and styles; (2) Unrehearsed work-reading at sight, and transposing. Entry is to be made at the same time as for the Annual Examina- tions, when a list of prepared works is to be submitted for the approval of the Ormond Professor. Lady Turner Prices.—Founded in 1930 by the Misses Mary and Grace Turner to perpetuate the memory of Lady Turner, widow of the late Sir George Turner, P.C.. K.C.M.G., for the encouragement of students in the study of music. The value of each prize is #3/10/- and consists, at least in part, of a book suitably bound and inscribed. At the Annual Examinations in the First Year of the Course for the Diploma in Music two prizes will be available, one for a male and the second for a female student who, in the opinion of the Ormond Professor, show the most outstanding musical promise. . Rosemarie Kenny Prize.—Founded in 1944 by Miss Rosemarie Kenny, who donated the sum of f373 to provide a prize for competition annually among students entering upon the final year of the Degree course. The prize. consisting of the net annual income of the fund, is competed for in February and is awarded to the candidate who, in the opinion of the examiners, shows most promise in solo pianoforte playing. Florence Menk Meyer Prise.—The late Miss Frederika Meyer made pro- vision by her will for the establishment of an annual prize to be known as "The Florence Menk Meyer Prize", to be awarded to the student who each year shows the most promise in the interpretation of music of Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Schumann and Rubinstein. The amount of the prize is approximately f17 per annum and, by direction of the Faculty, is to be open for competition in February of each year, amongst students entering on the final year of the Mus.Bac. course. 22 The Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme The Commonwealth Government provides 3,000 scholarships each year for open compeition among students who wish to undertake tertiary courses at Universities and other approved institutions. Approved Courses Commonwealth Scholarships are available in all first degree courses and certain combined courses and in some undergraduate diploma courses at uni- versities and institutions of university status, in Technical College and School of Mines diploma courses at prescribed standard, and in other approved professional courses. The courses approved include part-time as well as full-time courses, and in approved circumstances a student may be permitted to take a full-time course on a part-time basis. In general, selected students will be free to apply their scholarships to any of the approved courses. Eligibility Commonwealth Scholarships are in general intended to enable boys and girls who have successfully completed their secondary education to proceed to a university or similar institution. For this reason an applicant will be normally re- quired to have matriculated and to be under twenty-five years of age on 1st January in the year in which he desires to commence his scholarship. Special conditions apply to applicants for scholarships to do full-time Technical College diploma courses. The applicant and his parents will, in general, be required to be domiciled in Australia or to be permanently resident in Australia. Special pro- vision is made, however, for a limited number of scholarships to be made available to mature age students aged not less than twenty-five years on 1st January in the year in which the scholarship is desired and not more than thirty years on 1st January in the year of commencement of the course. Selection Commonwealth Scholarships will be awarded on the results of applicants at the examination for matriculation in the university in the state concerned, even though matriculation is not required for the course they desire to study. Special provision is made, however, for selection of students who wish to take diploma courses in Technical Colleges and for students awarded mature age scholarships. Combined Courses In certain circumstances scholarships may be extended to cover more than one course. The following combined courses have been approved subject in most cases to the imposition of an annual quota: Diploma of Agricultural Science (Dookie or Longerenong) plus Bachelor of Agricultural Science. Arts/Social Studies. Arts/Oriental Languages. Arts/Technical degree course, e.g., Science, Dentistry, Engineering, etc. Arts or Science plus Librarianship. Arts, Commerce, Music or Science plus Diploma of Education. Commerce/Social Studies (Personnel Practice). Engineering/Science. Law/Arts. Law/Commerce. Medicine/Science. Pharmacy/Science. Science/Diploma of Dietetics. Technical School diploma plus appropriate University degree course. Further information regarding the above courses or other combinations which may be approved from time to time may be obtained from the Commonwealth Scholar- ships Branch. Benefits Selection for scholarships will be made entirely on merit, and all students awarded scholarships will be entitled to tuition fees and certain other compulsory expenses, irrespective of the means of their parents. In addition, selected students 23

who are undertaking full-time courses may apply for a living allowance, which will be payable subject to a means test. The maximum living allowance at present is f169 per annum for a student living with his parents and £240/10/- per annum for a student not living with his parents. Special provision is made for mature age students. Winners of scholarships will be entitled to benefits for the duration of their courses, subject to satisfactory progress. Living Allowances The holder of a Commonwealth Scholarship taking a full-time course may be eligible for a living allowance—subject to a means test. The living allowance is assessed according to the combined gross income of the parents for the previous financial year, but this income is decreased by allowances made for dependants under 16 years at the close of that financial year. (f100 is deducted for the first dependant and f50 for each other dependant.) The income arrived at in this way is called the "adjusted income". It should be noted that when a Scholarship holder has a brother or sister doing a full-time course at the same or a similar institution a different method of assessment is used. Normally, for students required to live away from home a living allowance on a graduated scale is payable on adjusted incomes up to (1,388 per annum. For students living at home the adjusted income limit is (1,150 per annum. On adjusted income of f6O0 or less the maximum living allowance is payable. This is #240/10/- per annum (f4/12/6 per week) for those living away from home and f169 per annum (f3/5/- per week) for those living at home. The allowance is reduced by f3 for each fil by which the adjusted income exceeds #600. Here is a typical example for a family of two adults, two dependent children under 16, and the scholarship holder: Gross income of father .. fl ,000 Gross income of mother .. . . ., f100 Total family income (1,100 • Deduct f100 for first dependent child under 16 .. Deduct f50 for second dependent child under 16 .. f150 Adjusted income 4950 As the adjusted income of #950 exceeds f600 by f350 (or 35 times ill), the maximum living allowance must be reduced by 35 times f3 = f105. Thus for a scholar living away from home the living allowance would be £240/10/- less f105 = f135/10/- or £169 less f105 = f64 for a scholar living at home. Three important points should be noted : (a) The earnings of a scholar during vacations may cause a reduction in the living allowance payable—depending on the amount of those earn- ings. A scholar may earn up to #4/10/- a week during the long vacation or fl /10/- a week during the two short vacations without incurring any deduction, but any amount earned over those figures is deducted from the allowance otherwise payable for the week concerned. (b) Although calculated on a weekly basis a living allowance is not paid weekly but in quarterly instalments. (c) Should family financial circumstances change during a year a scholar could become eligible for an allowance. Enquiries should be made at the Scholarships Office. Deferment A student awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship will be permitted in certain circumstances to defer his scholarship for a maximum period of twelve months. A written application for deferment setting out the reasons should be made immediately an award is notified. Employment Commonwealth scholars not in receipt of living allowance may undertake employment. Mature age scholars and scholars in receipt of living allowance may undertake employment during term only with the permission of the Education Department. No restriction is placed on the amount of employment any scholar undertakes during the long vacation. 24 Closing Dates The closing date for applications for Scholarships is 30th November. Application forms and any further information may be obtained from— The Officer-in-Charge, Commonwealth Scholarships Branch, Education Department, University Grounds, CARLTON, N.3, VICTORIA. Education Department Studentships The Education Department provides a number of Studentships each year to enable qualified students to proceed to, or complete, certain University courses, provided that they undertake to serve the Department as teachers for the three years next after the termination of their studentships, although this period may be reduced to one year in the case of women who marry. Applicants must be prepared to study approved subjects in one of the following courses—Arts, Science, Commerce, Music, Agricultural Science and Physical Education. On the completion of degree courses students will take the first year of the course for the degree of Bachelor of Education. Physical Education students will be required, at the end of their diploma courses, to undertake the one-year course for the Trained Primary Teacher's Certificate at a Teachers' College. Studentships are tenable only at the Secondary Teacher's College, University of Melbourne. Allowances are intended to cover cost of books, travelling and personal expenses for the duration of the course, plus a living allowance for students living away from home. A limited amount of hostel accommodation is available for both men and women. Applications should be made on the prescribed form and should be forwarded to the Secretary, Education Department, Melbourne, in time to be received at the Department, not later than the 30th November. Students at school and student teachers should forward applications through their head-teacher or head-master. Graduates and undergraduates should forward their applications direct. Each applicant will be interviewed before an award is made. Gowrie Scholarship Trust Fund In addition to post-graduate research travelling scholarships and secondary school scholarships, four or five University entrance scholarships, of the value f75 p.a. and tenable for the normal period of a University course, are awarded by the Trustees. Applications for the Travelling Scholarships are due on 30th November each year and the others on 31st December. Further particulars may be obtained from the Secretary, The Gowrie Scholarship Trust Fund, G.P.O. Box 2069, Sydney, N.S.W. Students' Loan Fund A Students' Loan Fund has been founded in connection with the Conserva- torium, the nucleus being formed by a donation of f50 from the late Dame Nellie Melba, then Madame Melba. It is hoped that it will be gradually increased by similar subscriptions. The object of the Fund is to assist students who are taking the full course for a Diploma or Degree, and who are willing to give an under- taking to repay the amount of the loan, with interest at a low rate, after the completion of their course. Students who wish to obtain a loan from the Fund should apply to the Registrar. Diary The Melbourne University Press publishes a pocket diary each year. In addition to general information about the University, the diary contains information about the dates of examinations and lecture terms, of application for scholarships and of sporting fixtures ; it also contains an indexed map of the University. The diary is on sale at the University Book Room. 25 REGULATIONS DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF MUSIC (Calendar, Chap. III, Reg. LII) 1.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF MUSIC To the Chancellor, Deputy-Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Members of the Coun- cil of the University of Melbourne: Gentlemen, It gives me great satisfaction to report that the confidence which I expressed in the recent re-organization of the music curriculum has been justified, and that the new courses have produced unexpectedly good results and a high standard of academic achievement in both practical and theoretical fields of study. Enrolments Despite the increases in fees which affect both full course and part-time or "single study" students, the enrolment continues to be satisfactory and to be within the Conservatorium's capacity to ensure that individual training which has always been a marked feature of the University music school. It is gratifying to be able to feel that even without extensive assistance in the form of scholarships, the enrol- ments would probably be much as they are. Comparative figures for the last three years are: 1954 1955 1956 Full course ...... 166 153 153 Single studies .... .. 249 270 256 415 423 409 Entrance Exhibitions and Scholarships The awards made at the beginning of each year invariably attract a large number of candidates, and with the opportunities afforded by Commonwealth Scholarships and Education Department Secondary Studentships, a large propor- tion of students each year is receiving considerable financial assistance. One may reasonably claim that no talented young aspiring musician is now denied a musical training through financial hardship. The standard expected of entrance candidates was maintained and no fewer than 22 awards were made. Each year several generous donors come forward with scholarships and prizes, and I should like to express warmest thanks of the Conservatorium and students to the President and members of the Austral Salon, Mrs. Lilian Richardson, Mrs. Alberto Zelman, Mr. Harold Newey, and the President and members of the Music Lovers' Society, for the substantial gifts made by them. Teaching Staf An unusually large number of changes in the teaching staff has occurred. With the deepest regret I record the deaths of Miss Carrie Cairnduff and Miss Lorna Stirling. Miss Cairnduff had been a valued member of the singing staff for more than twenty years, and Miss Stirling had done work of the greatest importance in developing the nexus between the Faculties of Music and Arts in the com- bined history lectures. Early in the year Mr. Dorian Le Gallienne resigned his lectureship in theory and composition in order to devote more of his time to composition. Leave of absence has been granted to Miss Valerie Awburn, Miss May Clif- ford and Mr. Henri Touzeau, all of whom are widening their musical experience abroad. The following appointments have been made : Mr. B. R. De Oleveira, Mr. Keith Humble and Mr. Max Olding (Chief Study Pianoforte), Mr. Henri Portnoj (Chief Study Singing), Mr, Paul O'Brien (Chief Study Viola) and Mr. Gordon Miller (Chief Study French Horn).
