THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK 1940

COMPILED AND EDITED BY ALLAN MORRIS, LL.B.

MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PRESS FOR TIE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION

FOREWORD HIS handbook is compiled and issued every yea auspices of the Board of Management of the Melbourne T Union. It is designed to act as a guide to the many act which are sponsored by the Board and to indicate to students the ways in which they can take the fullest advantage of their years at the University by playing their part in its communal life. A University exists for purposes wider than those of merely vocational training, important though these are. It exists for the production of men and women who, in addition to a thorough mastery of the technique of their chosen calling, have an attitude towards life which will make them citizens better than the average. That the State recognizes this is clear from the fact that it contributes each year about one-third of the University income, and that every student, whilst at the University, is, to a greater or lesser extent, supported by the State. It is, therefore, the duty of all students to recognize that they are privileged people and to qualify themselves for heightened responsibility as members of the community which is helping to pay for their education. This cannot be done by exclusive devotion to a narrow and specialized way of life— the life of the lecture room and the laboratory nor can it be done by using the University as a playground. I urge you to aim at a balanced life, compounded of a mixture of academic training, physical activity and participation in the life of the Union and the Clubs and Societies that centre round it. Only thus will you become in due course a true University graduate. Under present circumstances it is hard for us to concentrate on the affairs of ordinary life. An uncertain future means a difficult present, and many students must feel that there is something unreal about quiet continuance with a University career which may be interrupted by the necessities of war. May I suggest that those who feel this strongly should remember that, whatever happens in the present struggle, the need for men and women with a University training and a University outlook will certainly be incomparably greater in the future than it has been in the past. Modern war cannot be waged by a democracy which remains one and, when the crisis is over, the resumption of its power by the community may well prove an insuperable problem unless there is a sufficient supply available of the kind of people that a University should produce—men and women who are capable of taking critical, tolerant and informed responsibility in the work of reconstruc- tion. An unnecessary interruption to the activities of Australian Universities would enormously increase the dangers of a future which is already dangerous enough. No one can see far ahead, but I hope and believe that during 1940, at any rate, the University of Melbourne will continue to produce undiminished numbers of those who will take the fullest advantage of all that it can give them. J. D. G. MEDLEY, Vice-Chancellor. November, 1939. 3

HISTORY oF THE UNIVERSITY The University of Melbourne was founded by Act of Parliament in January, 1853, but two years of preparatory work were required before it could commence its active existence. On Friday, April 13, 1855, an 'inaugural ceremony took place in the old Exhibition Building, William Street (where the Mint is to-day) , and sixteen candidates were admitted to matriculation without examination. This occasion is now commemorated every year by the Annual Commencement, which takes place in the first term, and at which most of the degrees qualified for during the preceding twelve months are conferred. The pioneer students kept their first two terms in the Exhibition Building under the guidance of three professors, who had been brought here from Great Britain ; but in the third term they were able to transfer to the site granted by the Government for the University, where the- eastern and western wings flanking the old quadrangle and now occupied by offices and committee rooms had been erected and were ready for occupation. Classes for law clerks were established in 1857, and in 1861 a lecturer in Civil Engineering and Surveying was appointed; while the following year saw the birth of the medical school for which special buildings were erected on the east side of the grounds a little later. At the end of its first decade, the University had about 75 students in attendance, taking courses in Arts, Law, Medicine and Engineering. In pioneer days there are hardships ta be borne, even in a Univer- sity. The Law students of 1857, whose lectures were held in the evenings, had to tramp up from the city through dimly-lit streets, and traverse the unformed grounds to class rooms illuminated only by oil lamps. The first medical students -commenced their dissections in a shed at the back of the professor's house in Swanston Street, and the unfortunate engineers had to do their drawings at home, and had no workshop or room for inspecting models. Perhaps the Arts students were the best of, for a happy air of domesticity hung over the old quadrangle, where the professors had their living apartments in the upper floors, and their studies, ar even their dining-rooms, adjoined the lecture rooms below. University spart was not long in making its appearance. In 1859 a students' football team played a match against the St. Kilda Club, and in the same year Professor Irving, a brawny young athlete from Oxford, started the University Boat Club. To him also is said to be due the definite reservation of sixteen acres of ground to the north of the University as a sports ground a couple of years later. Another side of students' activities is shown by the formation, in 1860, of a Forensic Society, which- remained in existence for some years. In 1862-3, the building which now serves the University as a Union building, was erected by the Government for a ' National Museum. In the early 'seventies the number of students was increasing, and the first Athletic Club was formed, absorbing an earlier cricket club, and some- thing was done in the way of fencing in and otherwise improving the 11 12 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK sports ground. Additions made to the north wing of the quadrangle in 1874 at last gave the Engineering students a home, and provided increased accommodation for the library. The original Engineering School is now the Book Room. In the days we are writing of, the building now constituting the General Library held, besides lecture rooms, theatres for demonstrations in Natural Philosophy and Chem- istry. The first of the residential colleges—Trinity—was opened in 1872. In 1880 the University had about 300 students ; and although ďuring the next ten years the number did not rise to much over 500, there were many developments in other ways. Women students were first admitted in 1881, and the following year the Wilson Hall was completed. A new Medical School was built about 1885, and .a little later a separate Science course was introduced, and the Zoology and Natural Philosophy Schools were erected. Chemistry had to be content with a portion of the old Medical School. To the same period belong the erection of Ormond and Queen's Colleges. A Medical Students' Society had been formed in 1879, but in 1884 a decided impetus was given to the corporate life of the University by the formation of the Union. Immediately afterwards the first students' publications—the Ρ . еe оиrne University Review and Sрес lumіг таde their appearance. The women students formed a "Princess Ida Club" in 1888, and, like the Union, were given apartments in the earlier professors' dwellings adjoining the quadrangle. By this time separate residences had been erected for several members of the teaching staff. A Professor of Music was appointed in 1890, and a Conservatorium was established under his auspices four or five years later ; but it was not until 1900 that it found a home in the University grounds, taking over the building vacated by the National Museum. The first portion of the present Engineering School was erected in 1899. Since the beginning of the present century the progress of the University has been remarkably rapid. During the first ten years courses were instituted in Education and Agriculture, and the teaching of Dental Science was undertaken in conjunction with the Australian College of Dentistry. Evening lectures were also commenced in subjects of the Arts course, and a Veterinary School was erected. The number of students enrolled had passed the thousand mark, and considerable developments were taking place in various branches of Engineering and Architecture, when the Great War intervened and checked progress for the time being, by taking the flower of Victoria's youth away ta serve their country. Soon, however, "returned soldiers," to whom generous concessions were made by the University Council, began to flock back to their interrupted studies. A little earlier the influence of the State High School system, inaugurated in 1910, had begun to make itself felt, and the combined result of these two factors was that the number of students attending the University was doubled in eight years. By 1920 this was over two thousand, and the authorities were at their wits' end to provide the necessary teaching accommodation. The last of the residential colleges, Newman, had been opened in 1918, but this did nothing to relieve the pressure on lecture-rooms and laboratories. Temporary buildings were hastily purchased and removed to the HISТORY OF THE UNIVERSITY 13 University grounds, and strong representations were made to the Gověrnment about the inadequacy of existing arrangements. The result was the addition of the Arts, Anatomy and Agriculture blocks, while more recently new buildings have been erected for the departments of Geology, Metallurgy and Botany. In 1925 the School of Commerce was opened ; and by 1930 the number of students was nearly 3000. Since 1930 the growth of the University has been rapid, with little interruption from the severe economic depression of 1932-3, and to-day there are over 4000 students enrolled. An event of prime importance was the appointment, in 1934, of Dr. R. E. Priestley as first salaried Vice-Chancellor. His representation of the University's needs to the community was not long in producing results. A palatial Union building was erected and equipped by private subscriptions in 1936-7; substantial benefactions for other purposes were received from several public bodies and the Government was induced to make building grants totalling over ( 150,000. With the resources thus provided new Schools of Chemistry and Commerce have been created, and the accommodation of several other departments has been considerably enlarged. The teaching staffhas also been strengthened, professorships in French and Bio-chemistry being created at the end of 1937 ; and new courses have been instituted in Physical Education and Political Science. The University Women's College, erected on ground adjoining the original college reserve, was granted affiliation in September, 1937. In 1939 the Melbourne City Council assumed full responsibility for the upkeep of the roads and grounds of the University, and already considerable improvements have been made. Dr. Priestley did not remain to see the full fruition of his efforts, but left at the end of June, 1938, to take up the Vice-Chancellorship of the University of Birmingham. He was succeeded by Mr. J. D. G. Medley, M.A. (Oxon). Mr. Medley, after completing a highly successful career in classics and philosophy at Oxford, had, during the war of 1914-18, a dis- tinguished military career, and subsequently had considerable experience both in the business and scholastic spheres. These all round qualifications have enabled him to keep those contacts with political circles, the business community and the academic world, which are so necessary for a success- ful and progressive University. That in brief is the story of the University, a story of small beginnings, slow early development, and a sudden leap into maturity. The University of to-day is one to which all its members from the `fresher' in his first year, to the graduate of high professional or scholastic standing may well be proud to belong. THE ORGANIZATION oF THE UNIVERSITY The Council---Chancellor (Rt. Hon. Sir John G. Latham, P.C., G.C.M.G., K.C., l.A., LL.1'L) The governing body of the University is the Council. It determines the general academic and administrative policy and conduct of the University and appoints all the major officers, and determines the appro- priation of University funds. The Council, which is established by the University Act (1928-з5), has the power to make statutes and regulations for the government of the University. These have the force of law. The Council legislates on the advice of the Professorial Board and of the Faculties, and all Council legislation is considered by the Standing Committee of Convocation, which may exercise a suspensory, but not a final, veto. The Council consists of thirty-two members, eight appointed by the Governor-in-Council, ten elected by Convocation, three elected by the Professors, one elected by the non-professorial staff, two elected by the undergraduates, four ex-a{cio members and four co-opted members. The present representatives of undergraduates are Mr. R. W. W. i ьot, 13.А., Q.L.B., and Mr. H. R. Crud. The Chancellor is the Chairman of the Council, and is the official head of the University. The Council acts principally through its executive officers, the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar, and is assisted by Standing Committees for Finance, Details and Buildings, and Staff and Establishments. In academic affairs the Council acts on the advice of the Professorial Board and the Faculties. The Vice-Chancellor (Mr. J. D. G. Medley, M.A. (Oxon)). The Vice-Chancellor is the chief executive officer of the University. He exercises a general superintendence over the educational and administrative affairs of the University, and is responsible for the main- tenance of discipline. He is the administrative head of the institution, and upon his initiative and direction the effectiveness of the policy and development of the University largely depends.

The Registrar (Mr. J. F. Foster, М.А., LL.M. ) Next to the Vice-Chancellor is the Registrar. He is the general secretary of the Council, of many of the committees established by the Council, of the Faculties, and of the Professorial Board. The Registrar is also in charge of all registers and records of the University. Convocation—Warden (Dr. L. S. Latham, M.A., M.D., B.S. ) The Standing Committee of Convocation is a committee of graduates established to consider legislation passed by the Council, and it may submit for the consideration of the Council suggestions regarding University affairs. There are forty members, and these are elected by 14 THE ІRGANIZATIІN OF THE UNIVERSITY 15 groups of graduates organized in Faculties for electoral purposes. The Court of Convocation comprises all graduates of the University, all of whores have the right to vote in elections for the Standing Committee. The Professorial Board--Chairman. (Professor K. H. Bailey, l.A., S.C.L. (Oxon), l.A. (Melb.) ) All professors are members of the Professorial Board, which is the principal academic authority in dealing with internal educational business. It considers all questions relating to the studies and discipline of the University, and acts in an advisory capacity to the University Council. The Faculties Subject to the Council and the Professorial Board, the control of each major division of University teaching is in the hands of a body known as a Faculty. There are twelve Faculties in the University, viz. : Agriculture, Architecture, Arts, Commerce, Dental Science, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Music, Science and Veterinary Science. There is also a Board of Studies in Public Administration and Physical Education, and a committee for the Diploma in Journalism. THE UNION Function The Union is an organization of students, graduates and members of the staff, which seeks through its activities and its headquarters (for the time being called the Union House) to provide a common centre for University life outside the lecture-room, laboratory and library ; to provide facilities for social and cultural intercourse ; in general, to serve the non-academic needs of all its members, so that each element in the University may make its contribution ta and receive the best from the enrichment of the common life. The Union seeks to provide for extra- collegiate students many of the advantages of College life. The objects are set out in the Constitution (Section 2) as follow (а) To create opportunities for and to encourage the development of social intercourse between the students of the University themselves, and between University students, teachers, of cials and graduates. To provide premises which shall be a common meeting-ground and social centre for students, staff and graduates of all Faculties. To provide facilities for the refreshment, entertainment, recreation and convenience of members. To secure the co-operation of University men and women in furthering the interests of the University. Generally to organize and direct such activities as may be deemed appropriate for giving expression to the interests of members or for the carrying out of any of the objects aforesaid. Through the Union it is hoped that the University, which has an established reputation for its excellent professional and technical training, may fulfil its greater task of placing upon its graduates the stamp of character, culture, leadership, and a desire to serve. (The full Constitution of the Melbourne University Union can be found in the University Calendar.) History The Union was founded in 1884, but owing to the lack of suitable buildings it failed to achieve the prominence in University life anticipated by its founders. In 1911 the University Council provided by Regulation for a compulsory Union subscription, and in 1912 the building which was once the National Museum was handed over to the Union. In 1919, with the post-war influx of students, extra rooms were needed, and an Army refreshment hut was erected in order to provide temporary accommodation. The "temporary" accommodation remained for 15 years, and the Union continued to be hampered by the lack of a suitable and attractive building. The movement for a new Union Building went ahead slowly. In 1935 it was given an impetus when, under the enthusiastic chairman- ship of the then Vice-Chancellor (Dr. R. E. Priestley) , an appeal was launched. It was desired to get sufficient money for an almost new building; it was decided to use the shell of the old "National Museum- Conservatorium-Clubbus" building. Among enthusiastic supporters of the appeal were Professor G. W. Paton, Dr. Gordon L. Wood, Mr. 16 THE UNION 17 J. S. Rogers—in fact, such was the interest aroused that the whale University and many people outside it supported the appeal. The daily Press gave generous support. In the second term of 1936 work was commenced. The new Union House was opened during Commencement Week, 1938. About 184,000 had been spent on the building. Е24,000 of that amount has still to be raised, and is an loan to the Union from the University Council. Union Management The management of the Union is vested in a Board of Management (Constitution, Section 7) . The Board consists of (Section 8) : The Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar, or some other officer appointed by the Council, the Warden of the Union House, one member elected by the Professorial Board, and two (one a man and ane a woman) elected by those members of the sub-Professorial Staff and the Administrative Staff who are members of the Union, one member elected by graduate members of the Union, . the Presidents of the S.R.C. and the C.M.U.W., and three other members of the S .R. C. and one of the C. M.U. W., elected by those bodies respec tively, and two additional representatives appointed by the S.R.C. The Union Board has the power to co-opt three other members. The Board elects annually its own Chairman and Treasurer. The Union Board, 1940: The Vice-Chancellor: Mr. J. D. G. Medley. Ρ Тheг Hon. Treasurer : Mr. F. H. Johnston. The Warden off the Union House : Mr. R. R. P. Barbour. Representative of Professorial Board : Professor G. W. Paton (elected Chairman) . Representatives of Teaching and AdministrQtive St ff : Dr. G.

Representative C.M. U.W.: Miss Beryl Wilson. Co-opted by the Board M r. J. S. Rogers ; Very Reverend J. M. M å.:rphy ;¡ 1 l. A. Morris. Union Secretary : Miss Edith C. Cameron. Membership Student membership of the University Union is virtually com- pulsory. By regulation of the University Council all students taking lectures must pay a Union subscription. Students who can show that payment of the subscription in full or in part would entail special hard- ship may obtain exemption from all or part of the entrance fee and annual subscription without losing any of the benefits or privileges of membership. In order to obtain an exemption from the payment of 18 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK fees it is necessary to apply to the Registrar's Office before the end of first term.

PERMANENT OFFICERS oF THE UNION The Warden The Warden of the Union is Robert R. P. Barbour m.A:, LіТТ.Hum. (Oxon). He commenced duty with the Union on the Ist February, 1940. He is a University officer appointed by the University Council and is the chief executive officer of the Union. After graduating at Queensland University with an Honours degree in Classics, in 1920 Mr. Barbour went to Oxford as Rhodes Scholar. He returned from Oxford to the position of Classics Master at the Church of England Grammar School, Geelong. He left this appointment to become Master of St. Andrew's College, Adelaide University. At Adelaide University he has lectured in Ethics and in Latin. For three years prior to his present appointment he was Student Adviser at Adelaide University, and thus has had a unique experience in appreciating the student's viewpoint in University affairs. Mr. Barbour has had a very fine all round sporting record. He holds Queensland University blues for Cricket and Tennis, and Oxford G`nivеrsitу blues for Tennis and Lacrosse ; he has represented the State of Queensland in Cricket and Tennis, and the Statе of South Australia in Tennis and Hockey. For four years he was President of the Adelaide University Sports Association.. Mr. Barbour will endeavour to meet every freshman at morning or afternoon tea. He will commence issuing invitations for these teas early in the First Term. These teas, however, serve only as an introduction of the student to the Warden of the Union, one of whose chief duties is to assist any student who comes to him for advice and help. The Warden can usually be found in his office every day of the week. THE UNION HІUSE 19 The Secretary The Secretary of the Union is Miss E. C. Cameron. Her office is next to the general Union Office, opposite the billiards room. Miss Cameron is also Assistant Secretary-Treasurer of the S.R.C. (Another of ce held by Miss Cameron is that of Housemistress.) The Housemistress Miss Cameron combines the office of Housemistress with the Secretarial duties. The Housemistress supervises the domestic organization of the Union House (other than catering), and attends especially to matters affecting women members. The Catering Manageress The Catering Manageress is Miss L. Helder. Her office is just inside the main kitchen entrance at the southern end of the West Wing. She is in charge of the catering staff. Union members wishing to make catering arrangements for parties should interview the Catering Manageress at her office. The Theatre Manager The Theatre Manager is Mr. Desmond Connor. His position entails general superintendence of all business affecting the Union Theatre. Bookings and all arrangements for the use of the Theatre should be made with Mr. Connor at the Union Offiсe. The Stewards The resident and head Union Steward is Mr. G. Duke. The Union employs five other Stewarďs--Mr. F. Conway, Mr. S. Thornton, Mr. F. Yeates and Mr. P. B. Campbell. The Women's Cloakroom is supervised by the Women's Stewardess----Mrs. ¡ EE. BL Brown. ц nв THE UNION HOUSE

THE EWING ART GALLERY `Тhat our youth nгcty be insp red with the beauty as well as a deeper love of their country by the works of our artists, this collection of Australiaн Art was given by Samuel Arthur Ewing, M.R.C. . (Eng.), JJ.I . (Cantab.), J R. . . , в в А в surgeon of this city, to the Melbourne University Union in 1938.' .... so reads the inscription cast in bronze, and mounted over the West Door to the Ewing Art Gallery. `The most pregnant period of Australian Art is represented in this group,' said Mr. R. H. Cro11, the author of the Catalogue of the Ewing Collection. Copies of this catalogue, which includes a number of reproductions in colour of works selected from the collection, are obtainable at the Union Ofike and the Bookroom of the Melbourne University Press. Some of the artists represented by pictures in the collection are Hans Heysen, J. J. Hilder, Siř Arthur Streeton, Bernard Hall. Sir John Langstaff, Rupert Bunny, Max Meldrum, Harold Herbert, Phillips 20 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK Fox, E. C. Officer. Louis Buvelot, Nicholas Chevalier, Constance Jenkins, David Davies, J. F. Paterson, Penleigh Boyd, Blamire Young, Walter Withers, Fred MCCubbin, Norman Lindsay, K. Van Raalte, Lionel Lindsay. The only conditions made by Dr. Ewing when making his magnifi- cent gift to the Union were that the collection should be kept intact and should not be added to except by himself. The Art Gallery is approached by stairs leading from bath stage exit lobbies of the Union Theatre. ROWDEN WHITE LIBRARY The beautiful library room was the gift of Dr. A. E. Rowden White, who is a graduate of the University. The addition of books, periodicals and art works for the Library is guided by the demands of members for cultural leisure reading. In no way does it aim to cater for the academic needs of members. The collection already includes fiction, plays, biography, works about many of the fine arts, collections of essays, works on the cinema and the theatre, in addition ta a valuable collection of reproductions of many of the world's finest works in painting, architecture and sculpture. This collection of art works was given to the Union by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The collection of books is being added to from month to month, and suggestions for purchases will be welcomed from members, who should leave the names of the author, publisher and book with the librarians, who are always on duty to assist members. English, American and Australian periodicals are available in the Library shortly after publication. No books or periodicals may be taken from the Library at all, or bags, coats and hats taken into the Library. Last year the S.R.C., with a gift of к50, founded the Sir James Barrett Book Fund in honour of the ex-Chancellor on his retirement. It is hoped that the collection of books will be greatly increased by donations to this fund. During term, library hours are 9 a.m.-10 p.m. on week days, and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturdays. The Library is situated on the first floor, East Wing, of the Union House, and the librarians are Misses M. Cullen and M. Garland. THE UNION THEATRE The Union Theatre is the only real University theatre in Australia. It is fully equipped with modern apparatus for the presentation of drama, talking pictures and recorded music. It is well suited for public meetings, and will seat 500 persons. It is hoped that the facilities offered by the Union Theatre will enable the University to become a living force in the theatrical life of the State. The exploitation of the material resources available depends upon the enthusiasm with which the University and College dramatic and other societies devote themselves to the study of the theatre and theatrical literature, and the regular presentation of well-rehearsed plays. The Union Board of Management has delegated the control of the theatre ta the Theatre Guild Standing Committee, and the Committee, CATERING DEPARTMENT 21 whose members are appointed annually by the Board, advise the Board on all matters of theatrical policy. The Con"imittee elects Union members to the Guild which provides the technical service of the Theatre. The Theatre Manager is the chief executive officer of the Union for all matters affecting the Theatre. Although the Theatre may, under certain circumstances, be hired by non-University people, it is the policy of the Board to give preference in the use of the Theatre ta members and students. The scale of charges for the use of the Theatre may be obtained from the Theatre Manager or from the Union Office. No charge is made for day-time use of the Theatre by members or by Clubs and Societies which make no charge for admittance, unless such use entails considerable extra cost ta the Union. The Theatre Guild Standing Committee for 1940 : Associate-Professor L. H. Martin (Chаъг" an) , Chief of Electrical Staff. Mr. Desmond Connor, Theatre Manager. Mr. Keith Macartney, Dramatic Adviser. Mr. Alan Mason, Chief of Stаge Staff . Musical Adviser—to be appointed. Wardrobe Mistress —to be appointed. The Warden.

CATERING DEPARTMENT The Union offers to its members a number of first-class meal and refreshment services in the Cafeteria, Buffet, Dining Room, and Private Dining Suite. It has not yet attempted to give regular refresh- ment services at the week-end, nor evening suppers. The catering department is not run for profit. The charges are fixed to cover operating expenses and no more. The Catering Manageress is Miss L. Helder, whose office is located just inside the main door ta the catering department in the north-west corner of the Union House. All inquiries about the catering services should be addressed to her at her office where she can be interviewed at any hour of the day. Cafeteria (Ground Floor) The Cafeteria opens at 9 every morning excepting Sunday. Morning teas, luncheon (including hot dishes) , afternoon teas, and three-course meals are served at the lowest prices. On Saturdays there is no service after luncheon. This room is operated on the "serve yourself" system. Buffet (First Floor) The Buffet, like the Cafeteria, is operated on a "serve yourself" system. It is open from Monday to Friday for morning teas, luncheon and afternoon teas. It closes about 5 p.m. Dining Room (Ground Floor—next to Cafeteria) Morning teas, luncheons, afternoon teas and dinners are served in this room from Monday morning to midday on Saturday. Grills, to order, fish, poultry, entrees, roasts, sweats are served at each meal, for which a waiting service is provided. 22 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSIТY UNION HANDBOOK The Private Dining Suite (First Floor) This suite of rooms consists of a small reception lobby at the head of the stairs which rise from the West Wing door, a reception room, and dining room with accommodation for 60 persons. The dining room can be divided by folding doors to enable two parties to be held at the one time. This room is available to all members and is becoming most popular with clubs and societies and other groups of members for ceremonial and other special dinners and for sherry parties. Reservations, at the Union office, should be made well in advance, to avoid disappointment, and the type of meal together with the price (rising from 2/6 per head) should be arranged with the Catering Manageress. Tobacco and Cigarettes Tobacco and cigarettes can be bought in any of the catering department's rooms. The Union's own brand of cigarettes is also available in the Billiard room and the Cloak room. Liquor Under ordinary circumstances members are, by the Union rules, prohibited from drinking alcoholic drinks anywhere in the Union House. For festive occasions, however, Clubs and Societies or other groups of members who engage the Private Dining Suite org other rooms for the exclusive use of those who will attend the party, may, on application to the Warden of the Union, be granted permission to have beer and wine served by the Union stewards. The Club, Society or group must arrange for the purchase of such liquor as permitted by the Warden and must have it delivered to the Resident Steward prior to the time of the party. No additional liquor shall be brought into the Union House by members or their guests. Special Dinners, Luncheons, and Suppers The catering department will arrange special service for members, and clubs and societies. Each of the dining rooms may be reserved for parties, dinners, luncheons, dances or suppers. Applications, including full details of the service required, should be made well in advance to the Catering Manager or the Secretary of the Union on the prescribed forms, which may be had at both the Catering Manager's Of ice and the Union Office. Prices are obtainable on application to the Catering Manager or the Union Office. Clubs and Societies will be charged for the numbers stated on the reservation form irrespective of whether the full number attended the function or not. UNION FACILITIES Billiards (Ground Floor—East Wing) There are four tables in the Billiards Room. The room is open for play from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on week days and 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays during term. A charge of 6d. per table is made for 20 minutes' play. Chess There is a Chess Room open to all members of the Union on the first floor of the East Wing of the Union House. It is next door to the Rowden White Library and is equipped with regulation tables. Chess men may be obtained from the librarians and should be signed for and returned to the Library after use. (See Chess Club, p. 39.) Complaints and Suggestions Any member finding it necessary to make a complaint about any member of the Union staff or concerning any of the facilities, should do so in person or in writing to the Warden. Suggestions are always welcome. Guests Members may entertain guests in the Union House at any time. The Union rule states : "Members may entertain visitors in the Union House provided, that UNION FACILITIES 23 without the express permission of the Warden, no member shall entertain more than three guests at one time." Lost and Found The Union will help members to trace lost property. A special notice board is reserved for this service. Members who have lost or found property should leave details at the Union OØke, which will have notices posted. The "Lost and Found" notice board is in the Union Theatre Foyer. Mail Members may have letters and other articles addressed to them at the Mel- bourne University Union. Inward mails are placed in the alphabetical letter boxes in the Men's Cloak Room and the Women's Locker Room on the ground floor. These boxes may also be used direct by members for intra-University communication. Members should regularly look in the box of their own initial for letters and messages. Men's Cloak Room The Union provides free to male members a cloaking service for the safe keeping of coats, hats, books, bags, and other property during members' daily attendance at the University. For a small fee (3/-) members may become regis- tered disc holders. This convenience enables them to leave property in the Cloak Room for any period within each academic year, it facilitates quicker service, and ensures that members will be notified should theyi forget to collect their property. Newspapers Each of the four Melbourne dailies may be read by members in the News- paper Room on the first floor near the, stairs leading to the Buffet. Files of back c, vpies are kept in the Men's Cloak Room and may be had by members on appli-. cation to the Cloak Room steward. Showers and Towels Hot and cold showers are available for members at all times. Showers are situated in the room adjoining the main Women's Locker Room, in the Women's Lavatory in the West Wing, in the Men's Cloak Room, and in the Men's Lavatory, which opens off the Men's Sitting Room in the West Wing. No charge is made for showers. Members _ will be supplied with towels by the Locker Room attendants for the price of 3d.

Sitting Rooms . There are five sitting rooms for members. Three of them are on the first floor of the Centre Block, another for men on the ground floor of the West Wing, and the fifth for general use attached ta the Private Dining Suite on the first floor of the West Wing. Of the three in the Centre В1ёеk there is one small toom and two large. The small room is reserved exclusively for the use of women members. During the day-time the large room on the north side is reserved for women members and that on the south side for men. After five o'clock in the afternoon both these large roams may be used by both men and women.

Women members should apply early each year for lockers `and keys. Application should be made to the Union Secretary at the Union Office. GRADUATE ORGANIZATIONS The chief graduate organization of the University is the Union. Its graduate members, once organized in the Melbourne University Association, are now organized in the Graduates' Section of the Union. This Section has a membership of over 1,100, many of whom are life memběrs, and is active in arranging monthly luncheons and evening functions throughout the year, at which the attendance varies from 150 to 450. In addition, the Graduates' Section has organized a number of sub-sections to bring together those interested in drama, the production of home cinematograph films, and tennis. Membership is open not only ta graduates of the University but to all past students, who are urged to continue their association with the University. By special arrangement with the Melbourne University Old Commerce Students' Association and the Victorian Women Graduates' Association, membership of the Union is available at special rates, and those graduates and past students eligible for membership of these two associations should make enquiries fram the individuals mentioned below.

THE STUDENT BODY

STUDENTS' REPRESENТАТIVE COUNCIL The S.R.C. is the official governing authority of undergraduates in non-academic affairs, and is recognized as such by the University Council. It was founded in 1907, when it took over from the Sports Union the general control and supervision of all matters affecting students in general, with the exception of those connected with sport. With the development of the Union, the S . R. C. has worked in close co-operation with the Union Board in the development of cultural and social life and interests among students. As the S . R. C. and the C.M.U.W. nominate eight members of the Board, which has a total of eighteen members, these bodies have a large voice in the management of the Union. The S.R.C. thus has a position of the greatest importance in the University. Its work is to promote the interests and extra-academic activities of the students, and further, to act as an intermediary between the University Council and Staff on the one hand and students on the other. While the Union is concerned with the interests and rights of students and others merely as Union members, the S.R.C. is the body which represents and controls the interests of students as students. The principle of affording students a large measure of self-govern- ment through the S.R.C. has developed in them a sense of responsibility, and has contributed in a large measure to the harmonious relations which exist between the students and the authorities. All students are urged to take a keen interest in the activities of the S.R.C., and to help the members by suggestions and . support. The most important functions of the S.R.C. are not capable of clear definition or limitation, but they arise from the general objective of giving leadership and stimulus in all student affairs. The principal specific functions to which the S.R.C. has devoted its attention are— the control of student publications, Farrago and Melbourne University Magazine ; the encouragement, co-ordination and general control of the various non-sporting clubs and societies, most of which are affiliated with the S . R. C. ; the production of the annual Revue in first term ; the organization of most of the functions of Commencement Week ; the organization of inter-faculty sport ; the presentation of promenade concerts ; and the conduct of the - major gatherings of students, and in particular the Freshers' Welcome, the Presentation of Blues, and the Anzac Day Commemoration. • At present the Ѕ.R.C. consists of twenty-one members. Men students elect three general representatives and women students elect two general representatives. Each Faculty elects one member except Arts, Commerce and Medicine, who now elect two. The President of the C.M.U.W. and the Editor or Editors of Farrago are the only г5 34th STUDENTS' RЕPRЕSENTATIVE COUNCIL, 1940 27 ex o,cio members. The Secretary of the Union is assistant secretary- treasurer, but is not a voting member of the Council. The S.R.C. elec- tions are held early in October, and the incoming Council takes office in December. The S.R.C. itself elects from among its own members a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, which together comprise the Executive, and a Chairman and Secretary of the Committee of Clubs and Societies. and appoints the editors of Farrago and the Melbourne University Magazine, the executive officers for the Commencement Celebrations and the Revue, and any other officers necessary to carry out its activities. The S.R.C. has power to pass regulations for carrying its consti- tution into effect, and may impose a maximum fine of 10/- on students for breaches of its regulations, or for unseemly behaviour. The S.R.C. also has power ta petition the University Council ar the Professorial Board on matters concerning students. Copies of the S.R.C. constitution and the regulations and by-laws made under it are posted on the S.R.C. notice board in the Union Theatre Foyer.

COMMITTEE OF MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY_ WOMEN The Committee of Melbourne University Women is the women's representative body, dealing with all matters directly concerning the women students. The functions of the C.I.U.W. are to promote the common interests of and to form a bond of union between all University women ; to supervise, subject to powers conferred by the Union Board of Manage- ment, the women's portions of the Union House ; to act as an inter- mediary between the women's representatives an the Union and the women members of the Union ; and to act as a channel of communication between the University Council and the Professorial Board on the one hand, and women students on the other, in matters affecting the interests of University women. It is responsible for the welcoming of women Freshers, the Women's Ball, Stunt Night, the women's sports, and any other functions which may arise. The C.M.U.W. has recently been most active in stimulating, co-ordinating and controlling the national service activities of the women undergraduates and is associated with `The Women of the University Appeal.' The C.M.U.W. comprises representatives from the various faculties and Colleges, as well as representatives of the women members of the University Staff and of the professors' wives. The General Representa- tives elected to the C.М.U.W. are also members of the Students' Rep- resentative Council. The C.M.U.W. at its first meeting each year, usually in November, elects as its executive officers a President, Secretary and Treasurer. The President is .ex оіўlcио a member of the S.R.C. The C.М.U.W. is mainly an undergraduate body, and therefore relies on the support of the women students in its work. All women, including `freshers,' should take an interest in the activities of the Committee. STUDENT PUBLICATIGNS 29

Staf Representative Representative of Professors' Wives Fresher Representative SТUDЕNТ PUPLICAТIІNS There are three main types of student publication. The S.R.C. publishes a weekly newspaper, Farrago, in term time, and the Melbourne University Magazine annually. A number of faculty societies- publish magazines which are -chiefly of interest ta the members of the particular faculty, but which aim to have some appeal to all members of the University. They are mostly restricted to one publication each year. Lastly, there are the College magazines. `Farrago' Farrago is the students' newspaper. About 24 issues are published each year by the S.R.C. through that Council's Publications Advisory Committee. The Editor, or as is more usual, the co-Editors, are appointed by the S.R.C., and become ex o»i io members of it (seg p. 29) . The most usual day of publication is Tuesday at 12с noon. The general policy of the paper is to publish University news of most interest to students, and, in addition, comment and opinion by members of the University. The Editors look to students for regular contributions in the form of letters and articles. These are the life-blood of its columns. They can be humorous serious controversial, or just factual. Students who are interested in the production of newspapers should apply for a position on the staff of Farrago. The office is on the first floor of the Union House. Two rooms specially equipped for the work of the staff have been provided. Farrago is issued free to Union members, and the subscription for others is 5/- per annum. Editors : Mr. N. Brennan, 15 Prospect Grove, Northcote, N.16 (JW 1037); Mr. W. Kaye, 72 Princess Street, Kew, E.4 (law. 2203) . Advertising Manager : Mr. S. Мorell, 11 Реаkе Street, Ballarat East ; Ormond College, Carlton, N.3 (F 1649) . 30 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK 'Melbourne University Magazine' The Melbourne University Magazine (M.U.M.) is published once yearly by the Publications Advisory Committee of the S.R.C. It provides a medium of expression for the literary talent of the University, and aims at covering the • sphere which Farrago leaves untouched. In it are published articles of more than ephemeral interest ; literary and humorous contributions, in both prose and verse; sketches, photographs, and articles from all faculties on subjects of general or technical interest, by graduates, undergraduates and members of the staff. It is distributed free to all members of the Union, and the subscription for others is 2/-. All students are invited to contribute. The S.R.C. appoints the Editor or Editors and the Business Manager. Editors Miss M. McCredie, 219 Cotham Road, Kew, E.4. (Haw. 403) ; .4 (law. 1517) ; Newman College, Mr. Ď. B. Pitt, 10 Banoal Avenue, Kew, Е Carlton, N.3 (F 1915) . 'Speculum' This is the journal of the Medical Students' Society. It is produced twice annually and contains technical articles as well as matter of a lighter nature. Specutum was first issued in 1884, and was the first student publication. It remains the oldest extant student publication. It is issued for private circulation among members of the Society only. `Res Judicatae' Res Judi atae is published in third term by the Law Students' Society. It maintains a highс standard of legal criticism, and has attracted favourable notice from members of the profession, both in Victoria and abroad. Contributors include members of the Faculty and Law graduates, but the conduct of the magazine is undertaken by students. All Law students should purchase earlier numbers if they can be obtained, as the articles form a useful commentary upon subjects in the Law course. `Cranks and Bolts' This journal was first published in 1938 by the Engineering Students' Sociеty. It includes technical articles. It also chronicles the activities of the Society and its members. `The Science Review' This is the journal of the Science Club. It contains technical articles and other scientific articles of general interest. `The Sports Union Year Book' This year book is published by the Sports Union Council in October. It con- tains the annual report of the Council and a brief account of the activities of each sporting club in Inter-'Varsity and local sport. It also contains records of Inter- -'Varsity sporting results fram the beginning of contests in each sport. Another feature is the list of `Blues' and `Half-Blues.' STUDENT FESTIVALS Freshers' Welcomes The first student festivity each year is the welcome by the S.R.C. to Freshers. It is usually held on the Friday before the commencement of first term. In the first two or three weeks of the term Freshers are welcomed at informal dances and other functions arranged by a number of the clubs and societies. Organizers, S.R.C. Freshers' Welcome : Miss Kathleen C. Keely, 25A Mason Street, Hawthorn; Mr. R. E. Seal, 40 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn. Commencement A round of student and University functions are arranged for Commencement Week, held from two to five weeks after the first term begins. Commencement is an annual celebration of the opening of the University in 1853. STUDENT FЕSTIVALS j ґ 31 The week's festivities begin with Bal Masque on the Monday evening._,, It is =' followed during the week by the Blues Presentation Ceremony, 'Freshers' Sportš, Commencement Ball, the final Inter-Collegiate Cricket Match. Ih the Union Theatre, Vaudeville and a play are presented. The Victorian Women Graduates' Association holds a dinner, and in the Union House the graduates' .section of the Union arranges a special luncheon before the Conferring of Degrees on the Saturday. The final event of the week is the Chancellor's garden party after 4 Conferring ceremony. Organizing Secretary of S.R.C. activities dugrSing Commencement : Mr. J. R. F. R.

About the time it was established `Block Parade' and the gala night in the University grounds on the Saturday of Commencement Week were discontinued, and they do not seem likely to be revived. So the Revue gets the full weight of student enthusiasm for public revelry. Each year it has been presented in a city theatre for a four or five-night season. А presentation such as the Revue needs elaborate and detailed organiza- tion. Throughout the first term the Revue is presented in May just before the term ends—there are rehearsals for ballet, and of sketches. In the week before the first night, activity is intense, reaching a climax with the full-dress rehearsal in the theatre. The cast usually numbers well over 100 and perhaps 50 others take an active part in the final production. The Revue needs writers, stage hands, publicity men, actors and actresses, men and women for the ballets, comedians, tragedians, tumblers, acrobats, jugglers, programme sellers ; it needs gags, sketches, ideas for sketches and set and ballets, songs and music, and above all, it needs enthusiasm and reliability fram all who take part in what is probably the best fun that students can look forward to during their University years. Commencement Vaudeville is a revue in miniature and has been the first step to fame of many Revue stars. Organizing Secretary : Mr. G. Parkin, 42 Windsor Crescent, Surrey Hills, E.10.

First Term Shows /Early in the first term the Dental Students' Society puts on the `Dental Follies,' which is a survival from the gala night. The `Follies' on stage are com- bined with a dance. Later in the term the Medical Students' Society arranges a similar show— 'The Medical Medleys.' Other regular functions in the first term are the Boat Club `At Home' and the Engineers' End-of-Term Dance. The Engineering Students' Society repeat this dance each term. These are among the best supported student shows of the year. 32 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK Balls and Plays Second term is play time. Most of the college and faculty annual balls are held before the August vacation. In the college halls and the Union Theatre the University and College Dramatic Clubs present plays for short seasons. Another feature df second term is the Law Students' Society's criminal trial. Films in Union House It is proposed to exhibit films every Friday night during term, except on those occasions on which the theatre has been booked for dramatic presentations. Sporting Carnivals At Easter and in the May and August vacations are held the various Inter- 'Varsity sporting carnivals. Dances and dinners are held for the entertainment of student sportsmen and sportswomen from other States and usually a combined Universities team is selected to play the Victorian Amateur team in each sport. THE NATIONAL UNIJN oF AUST UNIVERSITY STUDENTS •`;` The N.U.A.U.S. is a federation of the governing student bóć es Ť ł in all Australian Universities (except Western Australia) students are individual members. The objects of the National Union are to represent the students of Australia nationally and internationally ; to co-ordinate student activities throughout Australia and to promote the educational, social and sporting interests of students and to study all questions relating to higher education and to the intellectual and material life of students. The N.U.A.U.S. has no political or religious affiliations. The National Union holds an Annual Conference, usually in January, at which all students may attend to discuss selected topics. The Council, which is the governing body of the National Union and is appointed by the governing student bodies of each University, meets at the Annual Conference. Amongst the more important activities of the National Union are the making of a survey of the scholarship position in all States with a view to having the values and numbers of scholarships increased ; the studying of the effect of war in the Universities ; the organization of the annual inter-'varsity debates. The N.U.A.U.S. has been active in the establishment of cheap travel tours and a news service covering matters of student interest throughout the world. The National Union has instituted a text-book buying service whereby students may, on application to the general secretary, import books direct from the English publishers at English published prices plus exchange plus postage. In this way a saving of from 15% to 25% on Australian prices may be effected. Students travelling interstate may obtain N.U.A.U.S. introduction cards, which entitle them to reciprocal membership privileges in other University Unions. The National Union proposes to arrange a University Drama Festival, to take place in Melbourne as soon as a time suitable to all Universities wishing to take part can be found. Further information about the N.U.A.U.S. may be obtained from Mr. Allan Morris, LL.B., The General Secretary, The N.U.A.U. S., 31 Queen Street, Melbourne, C.1 (MU 4021) , or Mr. G. B.

Miss Beryl Wilson. 33 THE WOMEN oF THE UNNERSITY WAR APPEAL The organization, which is called the Women of the University Appeal, is controlled by a joint committee with Mrs. Medley as Han. President and Mrs. K. H. Bailey as President and comprising two representatives from each assisting group. The groups are the Com- mittee of Melbourne University Women, Staff and Distaff (which includes wives of Professors and Lecturers) , the Victorian Women Graduates' Association, the Town and Gown Guild, the University Office Group, and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The objects of the appeal are ta help children victims of the war in Europe and the provision of comforts for defence forces of the Com- monwealth and the Allies. The University Union has made available the Union Board Room from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. every Wednesday. " At this deрöt goods will be received and wark groups held. Up to December 13th, 1939, over a thousand children's garments have been sent to the Polish Relief Fund, London, for distribution to Polish refugees in Euřope, as well as three cases of foodstuffs and i20 (A.) . In addition, many knitted garments of all types have been sent to the Australian Comforts Fund, as well as flannel and khaki shirts, and X20 donation to the Xmas Hamper Fund. The recreation marquee at the Mt. Martha camp was equipped with lights and games were also sent to the camp. We hope to make even a bigger effort in 1940 and to ensure this your co-operation is essential.

С.M.U.W, Activities There are two Red Cross Companies at the University, and last yimr a great number of women students passed Junior First Aid and Home Nursing examinations. This year we shall be concentrating on more serious and harder work. Senior Red Cross, Horne Nursing and Cooking Classes will be arranged. We are also hoping to fit a V.A.D. course into the University year, and there will be a course in Transport. Notices and lists for these courses will be posted on the boards. There are two Sewing Circles a week for students, on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, at 2.30, in connection with the Women of the University Appeal.

34 CØEERS FOR GRADUATES The majority of undergraduates, as they pass through the University, will be thinking seriously of haw they will earn their livelihood when they have graduated, and it is because the University feels some responsibility for the welfare of the graduate, once he has passed from its confines, that the Appointments Board has been established. We all realize that there is always a position waiting for the man or woman who has completed an outstanding course—a course which combines the subjects which are in demand either in the commercial or the professional world but as it is impossible for all of us to take Honours and Exhibitions every year, it is more the average student to whom these remarks are addressed. In a perfectly organized world it would be possible to advise every student simply to select the course which best fits his own individual interests and aptitudes ; unfortunately, however, hard necessity only too often compels the student to select such a course that at the conclusion of his University training he will be equipped to enter some definite professional calling. A few notes on the demand by employers for various professional men and women may be of interest. The outbreak of war has made it even more difficult than usual to predict more than a few months ahead the demand by employers for various professional men and women, and therefore it is proposed to state what is the present position andleave it to the reader to judge what alterations may occur as economic conditions change. For the last three years there has been a keen demand for all types of engineers. Chemists, especially those who have included in their course a number of engineering subjects, are much sought after by manufacturers both for production and maintenance work, and present indications show that the demand for physicists will be maintained for some years to come. There is a steady demand for graduates in Agricul- tural Science, although there is a limited number of openings for women who take up this course. Medical men and dentists are also required to fill the natural wastage from death and other causes in the profession, and in dentistry especially there is a keen demand for both men and women graduates. Botanists and zoologists find more difficulty in obtaining permanent positions except in the teaching profession. Women biochemists and bacteriologists, especially those who have included Chemistry Part III in their course, are being placed in increasing numbers. The demand for women who have completed their Dietetics course cannot be judged as the course is a comparatively new one and few graduates have become available. There is a steady demand for Commerce graduates, and if a man completes a full-time course at the University which contains a sprink- ling of honours he can be placed without great difficulty. It would be advisable for the average man to do perhaps one, or better still two, years at the University and then take up employment in a commercial 35 36 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK sphere, and then to complete the course for his degree part-time. The legal profession is definitely overcrowded and is likely to remain so for some years to come. Every attempt is being made to persuade the commercial world that men with legal training are of value in commer- cial positions, but unless a young man has completed a brilliant course or can exercise some influence he will find difficulty in practising his profession. Arts graduates find employment principally in the teaching pro- fession ; a few join the ranks of the Commonwealth Public Service every year ; and very occasionally men and women are absorbed in journalism and broadcasting. If a student intends to take up teaching as a career special care should be taken in the choice of subjects. If we bear in mind the fact that one of the main objects of a University training is to turn out a man or woman who will become a leader of the community at some future date—a, man or woman who will have a trained and orderly mind and who will have obtained a wide cultural outlook we must admit that the most desirable state of affairs would be one in which every student could take an Arts course before proceeding to one of the professional courses. As financial and other considerations will not allow all of us to do this, a word of warning should be sounded, that unless students, men especially, can complete an outstanding course and find careers in University teaching and research they must consider the Bachelor of Arts degree as a stepping-stone to some other more definitely pro- fessional degree or for the careers already mentioned. It is sincerely hoped that in the future city business men will realize the value of the trained mind (which is the result of any University course whether specifically vocational or not) and that they will be willing to take men, and women, into their businesses at the age of 21 or 22 years, knowing that their value in the business world will soon exceed that of the boys and girls taken in at 16 and 17 years of age who have not had the benefit of a higher education. Women graduates have always presented a problem to the Appoint- ments Board (apart from the Arts and Science graduates who go into teaching) , as a limited number only of Science graduates is absorbed in purely technical work. There is, however, a very strong and steady demand for women graduates who are capable of carrying out secretarial duties. This of course entails a proficiency in typing and shorthand, and it is most necessary to stress the importance of these extra accom plishments if women graduates expect to obtain remunerative positions on the completion of their course. Every week the Board is asked for someone capable of carrying out the duties of private secretary, the salary for such a position varying from Е3 to 15 per week. Those women graduates who expect that they will be taking up employment as secretaries should consider commencing a study of typing and shorthand early in their course. Attendance at a business college for a month or so during the first or second long vacation would enable the elements of typing and shorthand to be acquired and practice during the subsequent months would not interfere with academic studies and would enable the graduate to take up a position shortly after graduating. CAREERS FOR GRADUATES 37 There are certain qualifications which are always asked for by employers who require men or women eventually to take up responsible positions in their organizations. The first of these is that vague quali- fication, personality. Sporting record is sometimes important, and the fact that the student has taken an active interest in University societies- is looked on as indication of that student's wide interests and ability of leadership. The Secretary of the Appointments Board, whose office is on the west side of the quadrangle, is available for interview by appointment, and the Anni.ial Report of the Board contains details of those positions which have been found for graduates during the previous year. Students are encouraged to register with the Board early in their course, the registration fee being 10/6. If the Board is in any way responsible for finding a position a further fee is charged at the rate of 11/o of the first year's salary. Vacation work is also found for undergraduates during the summer vacation. The Secretary, Mr. J. Leith Gillespie ( B.Ag. Sc.) , will be glad to interview the parents of prospective undergraduates and supply them with general information concerning the opportunities ahead of the various courses of University study. Details of subjects, however, are arranged by the Deans or Sub-Deans of the various faculties. THE CLUBS AND SOCIETIES Clubs and Societites affiliated with the S.R.C. are divided into three classes : (A Class) General, (B Class) Faculty, (C Class) Special. Every member of the Union has the right to attend the meeting of any affiliated General or Faculty society, but voting at elections and on any business of the Club or Society is restricted in the case of Faculty societies to those who are students working in the Faculty in question. In the case of both General and . Faculty societies no membership sub- scription has to be paid. (See S.R.C. Regulation I on S.R.G. notice board, Theatre Foyer.) At all evening meetings supper is provided. All students are welcome at the meetings of the Sреciаl societies, but the conditions of full membership are defined by the constitutions of each society. In addition to clubs and societies affiliated with the S.R.C. there are a number organized and under the direct control of the Union. A class and В class societies are financed by the Union on the recom- mendation of the S.R.C. C class or Special societies have no affiliation with, nor obtain any financial aid from the Union. In the following pages are published in alphabetical order prospectuses of all the societies. The designation of each is indicated directly under the name.

The Committee of Clubs and Societies This Committee is a sub-committee of the S.R.C., which acts in an advisory capacity to the S.R.C. on matters concerning affiliated societies. It organizes joint action on behalf of affiliated societies, and provides a means of contact between the S.R.C. and its affiliated clubs and societies. It consists of a Chairman and Secretary appointed by the Ѕ.R.C. and one representative, usually the Secretary, from each of the affiliated clubs and societies. Chairman : Mr. A. S. Ferguson, Trinity College, Carlton, N.3 (F6605). S'ecre tary : Mr. W. L. Ross, Trinity College.

Special Club and Society Facilities To encourage club and society activities and to facilitate their business the Union has, provided a number of special facilities. Steel Lockers Steel lockers for club property are situated in the `North Clubs and Societies Room.' Secretaries desiring the use of one of these lockers should apply to the Union Secretary. Letter Boxes Letter boxes are provided for the use of clubs and societies. The boxes are situated in the main corridor, first floor. Secretaries desiring the use of a letter box should apply to the Secretary of the Union. All mail addressed to club and society secretaries is placed in these boxes. 38

- THE CLUBS AND SOCIETIES 39 Meetings and Accommodation for . Meetings The Union House has ample accommodation for every type of public, society and committee meeting.

Representatives of clubs and societies and other groups of members desiring to book accommodation for meetings should apply at the Union Office, where they mays make reservations in the Union Diary of these rooms for the time and date required. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY ( Una ffilia tеd ) The main objective of this society is the furtherance of the interests of scientific agriculture. Most of the graduates in Agricultural Science, olicers of the Department of Agriculture, lecturers in Agricultural subjects and students of Agricultural Science are members of the society. . The society usually meets about once a month at 8 o'clock on a Friday evening in the School of Agriculture. Two annual social functions arě held—an At Home and a Reunion Dinner. The society is not affiliated with the S.R.C. and an annual subscription of 2/6 is charged. First-year students of Agricultural Science should get in touch with the undergraduate secretary. Hon. Secretarу : Mr. R. W. Spicer, 10 Mаngana Rdad, Camberwell East, E! (W7192). - CAR CLUB (A Class) The Car Club was founded in 1938 by a group of motoring enthusiasts. Its object is to promote an interest in motoring as a sport and pastime. The club's chief activity, besides the holding of evening talks, picture nights, etc., is the organization of reliability trials and hill climbs. The results are calculated on a formula or handicap basis. The make or age of the car entered is not the deciding factor, but the mechanical condition of the car and the skill and general road sense of the driver. Advice on těchnical matters pertaining to motor cars is arranged by the club, free of cost. lois. Secretary :. L. Sear, Trinity College, Carlton, N.3; during vacation, "Bundateer," Gisborne. CHESS CLUB (A Class—General) All chess enthusiasts are urged to come and take part in the activities of the Chess Club, which holds numerous tournaments during the year, the chief of which is the University Championship. There are also Inter--'Varsity contests. The chess room is situated upstairs in the east wing of the Union House and is well equipped with chess tables. Chess sets may be obtained from the attendant at the Roveden White Library. (See p. 22.) Hon. Sеcrеtarу : Mr. V. J. A. O'Connor, 454 St. Kilda Road, Melbourne (Wind. 7867). COMMERCE .SOCIETY (В Class—Faculty) This society, which is one of the most active in the University, caters for the social and intellectual interests of Commerce students in iriany ways. lem- bership is open free to all members of the Union, and every Commerce student should take an active part in its functions, as through them part-time students in particular gain many advantages of a full University life. - The activities of the society are manifold. Prominent economists and business men are invited to spěak on commercial topics and matters of public interest at evening meetings, held in the Union House, and at monthly luncheons, held in Ø THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK. the city. The cost of these luncheons, which are generally attended by about sixty students, is 1/6 per head. The society also arranges many social functions, including an annual Ball, a `Freshers' Welcome,' and a mixed doubles tennis tournament. The society co-operates with the teaching staff in promoting the interests of Commerce students generally, and aims at forging links of mutual understanding between those in the business world and the members of the University. Hon. Secretary : Roy Watts, Ridley College, Walker Street, Royal Park (FW 1205) .

CDNSERVATІRIUM STUDENTS' CLUB (В Class Faculty) This club, which has its own common room at the Conservatorium, organizes soirees and afternoon meetings, at which talks are given on matters of general interest to music students. The club also holds an annual ball. Hon. Secretary : Mr. I. C. Dorum, Union House. DEBATING SOCIETY (A Class—General) This society, which is one of the best-known among University societies, conducts debates in the Union House on every other Monday evening during first and second terms. It is the usual practice at these meetings for two selected speakers to open the debate for each side, after which members of the house are invited to join in the discussion. The society is a forum where all shades of political opinion are advanced and controverted and all matters of public interest are freely discussed. An Inter-'Varsity debating competition is conducted each year by the N`.U.A.U.S. and members of the Melbourne team are selected from the speakers who have shown to advantage at the regular meetings of the society. The society also co-operates with the appropriate organizations in the other Australian Universities for the purpose of sending Australian teams abroad from time to time and arranging local debates with visiting student teams from other countries. Last year a. New Zealand team visited Australia and it is expected that an Australian team will tour New Zealand this year. It is hoped that these Inter- Dominion contests will become an annual event. Hon. Secretary : В. 4'Кeеје, 18 Gordon Street, Тoorak, 5.Е.2 (Win. 547) . DENTAL STUDENTS' SOCIETY (B Class—Faculty) This society, which has its headquarters at the Dental Hospital, Spring St t, caters for the social and intellectual needs of Dental Science students, but гееany member of the Union may attend its functions without payment of any membership fee. The society conducts meetings at which matters of interest to dental students are discussed. The two chief social functions are the Dental Follies, which are presented in first term, and the Dental Ball in second term. The society's club-rooms at the Dental Hospital have been furnished by the Union Board, which also makes a substantial annual grant for the upkeep of these rooms and the general maintenance of the society. Hon. Secretary : To be elected in first term. DRAMATIC CLUB (A Class—General) The Melbourne University Dramatic Club exists to promote the study and appreciation of drama and dramatic art, to cultivate dramatic talent in the University and to organize dramatic performances. The activities of the club include the production of lunch-hour plays, the delivery of talks among members of the theatrical world and others, and evening THE CLUВ S AND SOCIETIES 41 meetings at which plays are read and discussed. These are generally held in the Union House on Tuesday evenings about every three weeks. Supper is provided. If you aspire to the glories of grease-paint you will naturally be an active member. If you are interested in literature and drama, in glamour, and having a good time, you will just as inevitably come to M.U.D.C. (See Theatre Guild, p. 21.) ноr . Secretaries : Joan Jardine, 780 Canterbury Road, Surrey Hills (WX 2507) ; Pill Pitcher, Brooke Street, Heidelberg (Ivanhoe 702) . ENGINEERING STUDENTS' CLUB (В Class—Faculty) The Melbourne University Engineering Stuдeпts' Club claims to be the most active Faculty society in the University and organizes a full programme of activities in support of this claim. The club provides lectures on Engineering subjects by prominent engineers and students, and organizes excursions to enable students to obtain some of the practical knowledge and experience outside their courses, without which theycannot hope to become successful engineers. The club also publishes an annual magazine, Cranks and Nuts, dealing with student activities and containing technical articles. On the social side, the Engineers' End-of-Term Dances have become student institutions, while, to some extent, they still supply the lighter side of Commence- ment Week. Every Union member is a member of this club, and, if you are interested, we shall be pleased to see you. Meetings are advertised on the Engineering notice board and in Farrago. Hon. Secretary : Mr. D. Lees, Ormond College, Carlton, N.3. EVANGELICAL UNION (E.U. ) (C Cuss Sр ecåaІ ) This society exists in the Melbourne University as a branch of the Inter- 'Varsity Fellowship of Evangelical Unions. Its purpose is both to bear witness to the fundamental truths of the Word of God, and to unite in Christian fellowship all who acknowledge Christ as their Saviour and Lord. Public meetings, addressed by prominent Christian leaders, are held fort- nightly in the Philosophy classroom at 1.30 p.m. Other activities include Bible Study groups (on Wednesdays from 1.30-2.30 p.m.) and House Parties held during the vacation. All students are cordially invited to attend. For further information apply to :.F on. Secretary : R. F. Denholm, 10 Lisson Grove, Hawthorn, Е.2. FINE ARTS SOCIETY (A Class—General) The function of the Fine Arts Society is to foster student aesthetic interests. It presents recitals of music and dancing, invites visiting artists to the University, and engages speakers on subjects relating to the Fine Arts. It attempts also to obtain concessions for parties of students to performances of aesthetic importance —notably, to the Russian Ballet. Speakers on music, painting, aesthetics and Chinese Art have already been engaged for 1940, and further such meetings will be arranged. We hope also to receive further visits and performances by members of visiting companies. But perhaps the most important of the Society's functions is the frequent presentation of recorded programmes of classical music. A weekly lunch-hour recital is pre- sented in the Union Theatre, and many longer recitals are played at night in the Men's Lounge. Stиdеnts are invited to place suggestions for musical programmes in the Fine Arts Society's box. You should attend these recitals they are good. Hoff.

The club meets an alternate Thursday nights during term, in the Union. After the speaker has given his paper, there is general discussion, which is open to all.

Secretaries : Miss Kath. Cummins, Union House; Ir. M. Nicholson, Union Нouse. 44 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY (A Class—General) The object of this society is to provide an opportunity for any student interested in mathematical questions to hear something of the many interesting problems and recent developments of the subject, from experts, and to present and discuss his own opinions. The topics dealt with are chosen, as far as possible, to be of interest not simply to mathematicians, but also to economists, engineers and physicists. The meetings are held in the evening, about once a month, in the Arts Building, and usually consist of a lecture by some authority, followed by discussion and supper. At least one meeting in the year is devoted to students' papers, when any student may present for consideration the results of his research, or any new ideas he may have. Meetings are advertised throughout the University. Hon. Secretary : Mr. G. Batchelor, 107 Eglinton Street, Моопее Ponds, W.4 (FU 1812). MEDICAL STUDENTS' SØCIETY (M.S.S.)

This year there will be a meeting every Tuesday in first and second terms. Meetings are held from 1.30 p.m. to 2.5 p.m. As the talks are to be so varied, every student will find some at least of particular interest.

(C Class Special ) There is a great battle set in our world, a battle not confined to the conflicts of war. It concerns the nature of civilization itself, and thus the whole meaning of man's life, The Universities are involved in this struggle for sanity, for health, for human life. The S.C.М. exists in the Universities to further this task. It points to the source of all wholeness of mind and living—Christ in wham alone there is integration and sanity. It tries to make the claim of Christ more clearly heard and more fully understood and acknowledged throughout the University. It invites men and women, irrespective of their beliefs, to unite in a fellowship of study, worship and service that all may come to a fuller knowledge of God, and the truth by which to live. This is an invitation to you to join in a creative adventure for God and His Kingdom, and so for a better world. The Australian S.C.M. is part of the World's Student Christian Federation which numbers about 300,000 students in twenty-five different countries. The purpose of the Movement is carried out by means of various activities which include a mid-day address every Thursday, study circles during first and second terms, and conferences during the May and August vacations ; whilst every January there is an all-Australian confěrence attended by about three hundred THE CLUBS AND SGCIETIES 47 students from all the Universities. Every Wednesday morning a devotional service is held in the Queen's College Chapel. And there is a library upstairs in the Union House from which students may borrow books free of charge. ,an.

UNIVERSITY CAMP FOR ASSОCIAТED GRAMMAR SCHC0LS (C Class Special ) This is an enterprise similar in purpose to the Public Schools' Camp, and is promoted by the old boys of the Associated Grammar Schools in the University, i.e., Brighton, Camberwell, Carey, Caulfield, Haileybury, Ivanhoe, Malvern and Trinity. The organization has purchased its own camp site at Shoreham, between Flinders and the Somers Camp, on Westernport. A kitchen, storeroom, and dining-room have been erected. Old scholars at the University, and present boys ga into camp under canvas for eight days about the second week in January each year. In addition, Vacation Camps are held from time to time, and a strong М.U.C.A.G.S. fellowship is promoting the contact between the University. and Associated Grammar Schools. Hon. Secretary : V. F. Wilcox, 11 Christower Street, Camberwell, E.6 (W 2364). UNIVERSITY CAMP FOR PUBLIC SCHØLS (C Class ,Sp ecіal ) This camp does good work in bringing leading boys from the schools into contact with University men, and in helping therm to form friendships which will be valuable to them at the University. The organization, which was founded 25 years ago, has its own camp property at Cowes, Phillip Island, and there, early in January each year, about 20 University men and about 60 schoolboys spend ten days h' camp. The quarters are comfort- able, and irksome discipline and routine are reduced ta a minimum. The numbers at the camp are limited of set purpose; consequently, both boys and tent officers are picked. But every boy who is coining to the University should attend the camp if possible. The property is available during the year to members of the University. A camp is organized at Christmas-time for University men and Old Boys of the schools. Those who wish to attend should write to the Secretary. Hon. Secretary : J. J. Brooke, 68 Fodxu Street, Elwood, 5.3. SPORT Under the aegis of the Sports Union and the Recreation Grounds Committee, practically every branch of sport is played by students at the University. The University is fairly well equipped with sporting facilities, but considerable improvement is necessary. The main oval is available for cricket, football, athletics and baseball, and on the outer reserve hockey, lacrosse and rugby are played. The Boat Club has its own shed on the Yarra, and the Tennis Club has four courts in the recreation reserve. The Women's Sports Clubs have their own tennis and basketball courts and hockey ground. Inter-'Varsity, inter-club, inter-collegiate, and inter-Faculty contests provide ample competition.

UNIУERSIТY CІМРЕТIТIІNS Inter-'Varsity Sport In addition to the regular metropolitan inter-club games, the University sporting clubs take part in the annual Inter-'Varsity sporting carnivals which are held in the vacations. The carnival in each sport is played at each University city in turn. All the clubs enrolled with the Melbourne University Sports Union, except the Women's Athletic Club, take part in the Inter-'Varsity sporting carnivals. Melbourne University clubs have a splendid record of successes in Inter--'Varsity sport. Frequently they have won more titles in one year than all the other Universities together.

The Australian Universities' Sports Association (A.U.S.A. ) This Association was founded in 1921, at the instance of Melbourne. The Council of the Association, consisting of two representatives from each University Sports Union, meets monthly in Sydney, The Council arranges dates for Inter-'Varsity contests, decides on the eligibility or otherwise of members of the University clubs to compete in such con- tests, and controls Combined Universities' contests against State and International teams. It is the usual practice for a Combined Universities' team to play a State team at the conclusion of each Inter-'Varsity carnival. Members of combined teams who take part in a contest sanctioned by the Association are entitled to wear the letters `А.U. S.А.' on their sports blazers.

Inter-Collegiate Sport Very keen sporting rivalry exists between the four affiliated men's colleges, Trinity, Ormond, Queen's and Newman. They hold official contests in cricket, rowing, athletics, football, and tennis, and unofficial games of hockey and rugby. The colleges control their own sporting fixtures through the inter-collegiate delegacy. 48 THE SPORTS UNION 49 Inter-Faculty Sрort Inter-Faculty sport is controlled mainly by the. SRC., which arranges the dates with the Sports Union. Contests are held in athletics, hockey, tennis, rowing, football and rifle shooting.

THE SPORTS UNION History Although the first sporting club was founded in 1859, and the first Inter-'Varsity contests were held in cricket and rowing in 1870, the Sports Union was not founded until 1904. It was then established as a central authority for the control of all student activities within the University. As originally , constituted, the Sports Union Council included representatives of the sports and social clubs of both the University and the Colleges. The passing of the Sports fee regulation by the University placed the Sports Union on a firm basis financially, and its activities increased rapidly. In 1907 it was clear that the Sports Union could no longer cope with the increased amount of work, and so the control of non-sporting clubs and societies, and of other student affairs not connected with sport, was handed over to the newly-created Students' Representative Council. In 35 years the Sports Union _ has developed University sport and sporting facilities to a very high level, and Melbourne has by far the best general record in Inter-'Varsity contests. One of the factors of its success has been the compulsory Sporťs Fee, which has enabled it to equip the clubs and contribute liberally to the expenses of Inter-'Varsity teams. Membership All students doing a full course for a- degree or diploma are required to pay the Sports Fee of i1/10/- per year.. Members of the Teaching Staff, single-subject students and past students may be elected to membership on payment of an annual sub- scription of i1/l0/-. Life Membership is attained on payment of 15 annual subscriptions or of ill in one sum. All m embers of the Sports Union are аиtоікйісаІІу members of all enrolled clubs (except the Boat Club), an-d are entitled to use the facilities provided, . to wear the Sports Union colours, and to play for the enrolled clubs, without paying any further fee, except that required for registration Berith the central Victorian body controlling inter. -club contests for the sport concerned. WARNING. Members of the Sports- . Union. should not compete for clubs outside the University without the sanction of the Sports Union Ρ Council. Members of other clubs who desire to conti nгue as ` active members of such clubs should first obtain the sanction of the Sports Union Council on entering the University. Failure to obtain such sanction may debar- a student from selection for any Inter-'Varsity contest, and prevent =him from winning his `Blue,' or if ; he has already awarded a `Blue,' or 'Half-Blue,'.his name ііау be withdrazon from the list of `Blues' or `нal f -Blues.' 50 THE MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY UNION HANDBOOK The Sports Union Council The Sports Union Council, as at present constituted, consists of: The President, five Vice-Presidents, one of whom must be a Professor, and one the Head of each college, in rotation, the Treasurer, the Secre- tary, and two delegates from each of the enrolled sports clubs.

Award of Blues and Half -Blues All clubs now competing in Inter-'Varsity contests sanctioned by the Sports Union Council are entitled to recommend for the award of a Blue or a Half-Blue any member who has actually competed in an Inter- 'Varsity contest during the period for which awards are being made. The awards are made by the Sports Union Council on the recom- mendations of the Blues Advisory Boards. The Men's Board consists of seven members, and the Women's Board three members, all of whom are either Blues or Half-Blues. The Boards consider recommendations received from the various clubs in which the members of each team are set out in order of merit. In making their recommendations to the Sports Union the Boards consider the following points :- 1. The performances of each member of the team in the Inter-'Varsity contest. 2. The performances of the team as a whole in such contest, and the result of the contest. з. The performances of the club in other competitions during the past twelve months and the standard of such competitions. 4. The performances of the individual members of the team in question in other competitions in the same class of sport during the preceding twelve months or any other period. 5. Such other circumstances as the Boards may see fit. 6. The Boards may consult the Committee or Selection Committee of any club, or any person whom they may see fit. A recommendation for award may be made in the case of a member who has competed for his club in a branch of sport for which no event is provided in that club's Inter-'Varsity programme, or in the case of a member who has been prevented from competing in an Inter-'Varsity contest through the contest having been abandoned. Wearing of Colours Every member of the Sрorts Union is entitled to wear the Sports Union colours and the ordinary members' blazer. Honour blazers may be warn by those to whom `Blues' or 'Half-Blues' have been awarded.
