Trinity College programs include: • the Residential College for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the University of Melbourne and of the Trinity College Theological School, both resident and non-resident • Trinity College Theological School (TCTS), a centre for Anglican theology and ministry that educates people, lay and ordained, to work for the transformation of church and society • Trinity College Foundation Studies (TCFS), which offers a range of one-year courses that prepare able overseas students for undergraduate entry to the University of Melbourne and other leading Australian universities • the Trinity Institute, which offers inspirational leadership programs for high school students, innovative professional development, and thought-provoking open learning opportunities for all. Trinity College actively contributes to the academic, sporting and cultural life of the wider community. Its main campus is located adjacent to the University of Melbourne grounds. An Anglican institution, Trinity welcomes people of all faiths and none. The College celebrates, and is enriched by, the diversity of backgrounds of its staff and students.

It was another successful year for Trinity, with strong demand for all our programs generating great optimism for the future of the College. We also shared times of sorrow. In January, the Trinity community was saddened by the passing of young alumnus Rudi van Breda (TC 2011). In remembrance of Rudi, a keen sportsman who rowed for Trinity, the College Boat Club commissioned a memorial oar to be mounted in the Billiards Room. A memorial service saw a full Chapel with current students, alumni, Rudi’s friends and staff. In the midst of significant sorrow, it was a fine celebration of Rudi’s life. We were deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Robin Sharwood AM, fourth Warden of Trinity. For over 50 years, Professor Sharwood, who had distinguished academic and legal careers, made an extraordinary contribution to the life and culture of Trinity. He was a Senior Fellow, an important advocate of the Theological School, and gifted to the College many precious pieces from his collection of fine art. My colleagues will report more fully from their various divisions, but I am delighted to draw your attention to the following: The excellent academic achievements of the students of the Residential College were equalled by their achievements in sports and the Arts. The College won the Intercollegiate Arts Shield, the men won the Cowan Cup, the women came second in the Holmes Shield, and the College overall came second in the Tickner Cup. The Theological School, offering both online and face-to-face study options, and a faculty of national and international scholars, attracted strong enrolments in undergraduate and postgraduate coursework, and the Higher Degree by Research Program. The Trinity community had unique opportunities to raise funds for the Theological School through events such as a viewing at St Paul’s Cathedral of Walk the Camino Way, an exhibition and sale of photographs, and the inaugural Archbishop’s Dinner in August. The College continued to host an exceptionally vast range of events. We welcomed Lady Hale as the Caldwell Lecturer, and Kevin Rudd as the Rowan Williams Lecturer for a meeting of the Board of the Colleges of the Anglican Communion. We hosted dinners with the Minister of Trade, The Honourable Andrew Robb AO, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, Professor Glyn Davis AC, and the Federal Threatened Species Commissioner, Mr Gregory Andrews. The Chaplain Samuel Dow organised a preaching series on War and Peace at the Sunday Evensongs. Speakers included historians Dr Alan Gregory and Professor Geoffrey Blainey, peace activist Jessica Morrison, Principal of JCH Dr Damian Powell, and the Trinity Provost, Mr Campbell Bairstow. In October, Trinity celebrated 25 years of our internationally acclaimed Foundation Studies program. The first intake of students in 1990 was just 56 students; more than 1,300 students commenced in the program in 2015. The original Executive Director of the program, Denis White, along with members of the program’s initial supervising committee, and Dr Rosemary Blight, one of the key program designers, were amongst the esteemed guests who celebrated the anniversary with hundreds of Foundations Studies students on the Bulpadock. We continued to develop our programs for Indigenous students, supporting the transition into tertiary studies and hosting programs for secondary school students. The Bachelor of Science Extended program for Indigenous students commenced in 2015, which we trust will follow in the footsteps of the BA Extended, now in its seventh year. One of our resident Indigenous students, Rona Glynn-McDonald, was awarded a prestigious UN internship. In January 2015, to celebrate the commencement of the construction of the Gateway building, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, Professor Glyn Davis, had the honour of turning the ceremonial soil at the site. By the end of the year, the Gateway was well underway and on track to open as planned in July 2016. As I reflect on 2015, I thank Provost Campbell Bairstow for his leadership as Acting Warden during the 18 months since Revd Professor Andrew McGowan left Trinity to take up an appointment at the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. For the support and warm welcome I have received, I thank the Council, Chair, members of the Board and subcommittees, Fellows, alumni, staff and of course students. All with best wishes, Professor Ken Hinchcliff Warden Annual Report, 2015 3 COUNCIL The 40-member Council consists of representatives of all major sectors of the Trinity College community, including students, staff, alumni, donors, the Church and the University of Melbourne, presided over by the Archbishop of Melbourne. The Council meets twice each year. In May, the Council considered and approved the 2014 Annual Report of the College, and appointed Mr Ian Solomon, Chair of the Executive Committee of the Foundation, for a two-year term as a member of the Board; and Ms Kerry Gleeson, to assume the next vacancy as it arises. It appointed Associate Professor Michelle Livett, Associate Dean and Program Director, Undergraduate Programs, Faculty of Science, University of Melbourne, and Mr Philip Kent, University of Melbourne Librarian and Executive Director of Collections for three-year terms on Council. In October the Council reappointed Mr Rick Tudor to the Board for a further term of two years; and elected Mr Laurie Cox AO, and Professor Peter McPhee AM, as new Honorary Fellows of the College. The Council heard from the Warden, who reflected on his first nine weeks in the role, and discussed plans for the future, including a new strategic planning process to support the College’s three divisions and answer the question, ‘Where do we go from here?’. Annual Report, 2015 4 BOARD The Board monitors the College’s performance by way of monthly financial and executive reports, and through the deliberations and reports of the various subcommittees. The Board also undertakes an annual self-evaluation survey. The Board has committees that oversee Buildings and Grounds, Finance and Audit, Governance, Investment Management and the Theological School. Following the Board’s review of the College’s governance structure in 2014, the Governance and Nominations Committee combined with the Remuneration Committee in March, and the Pathways School Business Committee was formed (August) to be responsible for the overall organisation and effectiveness of the Pathways School. During 2015, the Board held seven meetings. Key discussions included international strategy, the Gateway building, the Annual Risk Review, operating and capital budgets, fundraising and future arrangements with the University of Melbourne related to Foundation Studies.

  • The Magi and the Manger: Imaging Christmas in Ancient Art and Ritual
    The Magi and the Manger: Imaging Christmas in Ancient Art and Ritual By Felicity Harley-McGowan and Andrew McGowan | Volume 3.1 Fall 2016 The story of the birth of Jesus Christ is familiar, both from the biblical narratives and from iconography that has become ubiquitous in church decoration and widely circulated on Christmas cards: a mother and father adoring their new-born child, an ox and an ass leaning over the child, a star hovering above this scene, angels, shepherds with their sheep in a field, and luxuriously clad “wise” men or kings approaching the child with gifts. All these elements are included by the Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto in a painting which started in his workshop in the late 1550s, and for much of its life hung above the altar of a church in Northern Italy (Fig. 1). In addition, Tintoretto imagines other figures at the scene. With Mary and Joseph at the manger, he includes a second pair of human figures, perhaps the parents of the Virgin: Anna and Joachim. The artist also inserts less traditional animals in the foreground: a chicken and a rabbit, and a dog curled at the foot of the manger. Fig. 1. Jacopo Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), The Nativity, Italian, late 1550s (reworked, 1570s), oil on canvas, 155.6 x 358.1 cm. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: gift of Quincy Shaw, accession number 46.1430. Photograph © 2016 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Yet the rich details of the scene that Tintoretto depicts, many of which are now well known in popular renditions, were not present in the first depictions of the Nativity.
