A Brief History of Inter-Collegiate Rowing Inter -Collegiate rowing at the University of Melbourne began in 1881 with a four oared race between Trinity and Ormond. After four years, with Trinity winning on each occasion, the race became an annual contest for eight oared crews. Queen's College entered the fray in 1891, and Newman competed for the first time in 1918.

Originally the length of the race was two miles, on the Lower Yarra Course, but in 1909 the Upper Yarra Course of one and one-quarter miles was adopted. In 1918 Mr. Justice HB Higgins of the High Court of Australia presented the magnificent trophy, which has come to be identified with Inter-Collegiate rowing. The circumstances are explained in the following extract from a letter from the then Master of Ormond, DK Picken.

". . .Mr. Justice Higgins has vested a fund of 500 pounds in the Heads of the Colleges (as Trustees) for the encouragement of rowing, by means of a permanent trophy and memorial to be associated with the name of his son, the late Captain MB Higgins (Captain and Adjutant) of the 8th Light Horse Regiment AIF), formerly a member of Ormond College, Melbourne and later of Balliol College, Oxford, who was killed in action at El Magdhaba on 23rd December, 1916. The fund comes from Captain Higgins' arrears of pay. The trophy which is to be called the Mervyn Bournes Higgins Memorial Trophy, is to be held by the winning College..."

In addition, the bequest also made provision for a small individual trophy for each oarsman; originally a two handled pewter mug, but since the last war an inscribed medallion. Apart from the war years, the Inter- Collegiate contest has been held every year, and was expanded to include a race for Second Eights for the Malcolm Russell Norton Trophy. Since 1923, the winning College Eight has raced against the Extra Collegiate crew for the John Laing Cup.

Women's Inter-Collegiate rowing commenced in 1959 when members of decided that it was about time that women had a race of their own. Originally the women were few in number as they had not an opportunity to row at school. Thus, rowing was a new experience for most that entered the races. Races were held over 800 metres for the First’s crews and 500 metres for the Seconds. The number of women who row has increased greatly in the years since women's Inter-Collegiate rowing was established due to the popularity of schoolgirl rowing.

Unlike the men, the women had originally not been able to compete for a trophy or medallion, but competed for honour and glory alone. In 1992 this changed with the presentation of inscribed glasses to the winning crew at a celebratory dinner, and in 1993 for the first time the winning women's crew competed for the Margot Foster & Richardson Shield, similar in size to the Higgins Trophy, but reflecting the modern rowing woman of the 1990's. In 1999 the Susan Oddie Sypkens Shield for the winners of the women's Second Eights was presented for the first time.

Inter-Collegiate rowing was further enhanced in 1995 with the combining of the men's and women's regattas. It is appropriate that the men and women of the colleges who share so much should be able to share also the excitement and glory of one Inter-Collegiate Regatta.

Trivia: ♣ The first inter-collegiate boat race was held in 1881 between Trinity and Ormond men’s VIII. Trinity won this race and the following five races.  ♣ Three dead-heats have occurred between Ormond and Trinity (1897); Ormond and Queen’s (1921); and Trinity and Ormond (1946) – all men’s VIII races.  ♣ Ormond leads the men’s First VIII total races won with 55; and Ormond also leads the women’s First VIII races with 18.
