He and his crew Kyle Langford dug deep to finish 8th, surprising themselves with the speed they were able to achieve in the building conditions. That afternoon they started well and led the fleet around every mark of the course to take their first win of the championship. The next day all crews struggled for consistency but the following morning, after a good result, Evan and Kyle were one point ahead of rivals France and Great Britain. In the afternoon a heavy fog moved in across the course, reducing visibility to less than 50m, bringing an end to racing for the day. That night I woke frequently with thoughts of the race ahead. Never before had I been under so much pressure for a regatta win. It was the world championships and I had to beat both of my two main rivals and not finish worse than fourth in order to secure the title. I woke the next day to the same fog.

RAWSON CUP SPORT

Rowing The Paul’s VIII turned on an Olympic performance at the Penrith International Regatta Course in something under 6 minutes to win by about 20 seconds. Two members of the crew - Andrew Wilson and Fergus Pragnell – were later selected to represent Australia in the U23 World Championships in Amsterdam with a lead-up regatta in Lucerne. Andrew rowed in the Quad Sculls and Fergus in the Men’s Eight. Medals eluded them this time, but we congratulate them on their considerable achievement of selection to represent their country. Andrew is currently Chapel Warden, so to quote Goran Ivanisevic, “God must have been at morning tea” when he rowed his races. Swimming The honours certainly went to Andrew’s who won every race this year and our men came third. Cricket We won our matches against Andrew’s and John’s in fine style, but were in a shaky position when rain stopped play against Wesley. Unfortunately, the next day all the University ovals were being prepared for winter games so this competition will be completed on Wednesday 12 October. Rugby After a tight, hard-fought match, St Paul's managed an impressive WIN over Wesley in the final, by the hefty margin of 37 to 5 (20-0 at half-time!) Eleven of the team have been playing for Sydney University this winter: James Austin, Andrew Fairbairn, Ralph Goninan, Will Hay, Nick Ingate, Tim Ingate, Alex Low, Andrew McKillop, Tom Nolasco, Sandy Shannon, Sam Wicks while Hugh Tancred plays for Norths and Andrew McCarthy for Gordon. Soccer College won the first game, against Andrew’s, in a shoot-out following a 0-0 draw. We won the next WANTED game 2-0 (vs John’s) during which Jack Manning Bancroft broke his leg badly, and, in the final game Copies of ‘The Pauline” (vs Wesley) we continued to show great resolve, but for all years prior to 1956 were beaten 2-0 with both goals being scored during especially the 1930s. extra time, thus putting us in second place.

The fruit bowl at There is much mutual respect between Sodexho and lunchtime looked passable, but the grapes were full College men despite the complexity of their dealings of pips, the pears as hard as rocks, the apples with one another. — Selwyn Owen flowery and the bananas robust in their green armour. Most of this has changed – for the good. These days the food is better, fresher, healthier, full of variety and the envy of visitors from other colleges. Old Paulines be reassured: it is still possible to pass puddings upside-down the length of a table - or further - without losing them! The menu repeats itself every four weeks and one of the weekly sheets is shown on the opposite page. The menu is drawn up by the on-site staff of Sodexho in consultation with the Student Club via the convenorship known as Providore. The on-site staff have great loyalty to the College and make a terrific effort to provide a wide variety of enticing dishes from the culinary traditions of many countries. They are aware of criticism, work to overcome it and only resent it if it’s clearly unfair. At lunchtime men have a choice of a prepared hot meal of, say, beef stroganoff and rice, or a pasta dish with salad, or take the chance to create their own favourite toasted sandwiches using food from the salad bar – sliced tomatoes, cheese, tuna, salami, ham, coleslaw, beetroot, olives, onion, etc. to be followed by cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate or tea as well as the ubiquitous lime green, raspberry red and orange cordial! As an all male college we aim to provide good food for hungry young men. A random sample of student opinions of College food: It’s much better than expected (Final Yr Law). The food is unreal (a new arrival). I suppose it’s OK (Grad Law student). I think it’s really quite good (Grad Med student). Dogs would like it - but I admit I do too (fresher). It’s a lot better than most people think and much better than boarding school food (3rd Yr Arts/Sc). It’s really good during the week, but don’t go near it on the weekend! (Final Yr Med). There’s too much chicken (several men)

Scores of his buildings remain in use to this day, and they are a delight to the eye. Best known to many Paulines are the College Dining Hall, the Great Hall and quadrangle where they received their degrees, St Mark’s Church Darling Point where many were married, christened or ‘dispatched’, Christ Church St Laurence George Street, St Andrew’s Cathedral, St Peter’s Watson’s Bay, Bishopscourt Darling Point, St Barnabas’ Church Broadway, All Saints Woollahra and the Prince of Wales Hospital Randwick. Edmund Blacket and his wife Sarah came from England in 1842 to escape parental disapproval of their marriage. After sailing up Sydney Harbour upon arrival Edmund wrote of his delight with all the points and coves of this magnificent harbour and I thought I would never see so exquisite a scene. In March 1843 he took possession of a room as a studio in which to work in the crypt of St James’ Church King Street until more suitable space could be found.
