XII.—ADDBESS TO THE QUEEN ADOPTED , BY THE UNIVEESITY. To. Her Most Gracious Majesty Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India, etc., etc. We, the University of Melbourne, in the Colony of Victoria, on the auspicious occasion of your Majesty completing the Sixtieth year of your beneficent, eventful and happy reign, beg to approach your Majesty with an earnest assurance of our devoted attachment to your throne and royal person. To your Majesty's Gracious favour this Univer sity owes the high honour of Letters Patent under. your sign manual, empowering it to grant degrees which are entitled to rank, precedence,-and con sideration equal to those of any University in the United Kingdom. 376 ANNUAL BEPOET, 1896-97. We beg to express our gratitude for that mark of your Boyal favour - which has permitted large numbers of your Majesty's subjects in this Colony, both women and men, without any distinction of colour, class or creed, to enjoy the great advantages of a liberal education, and to obtain degrees in the various departments of Higher Learning. Your Majesty's reign has been marked not only by a great advance in the Higher Learning, bnt also in Education generally, both Scholastic and Technical, the' latter having been proved to be equaUy advantageous to the Artisan and to the Manufacturer. The rapid progress of Science during the past sixty years has been most marvellous and unprece dented in the world's history; whUst the effects of scientific discoveries have conduced to the happiness, comfort, health and improved physical condition of mUHons of your Majesty's subjects j in confirmation of this we need only mention as eminent' examples, the great sanatory reforms effected throughout your Dominions on scientific principles; the appli cation of Electricity and Gas to many highly important and practical purposes with wonderful results; and the glorious discovery of Anti-Septic treatment by Sir Joseph Lister, now through your Majesty's favour raised to the Peerage as a reward of his scientific labours. The. interest which your Majesty has always taken in ameliorating the Bufferings, improving the condi tion and increasing the comforts of the poor, and the sympathy you have displayed with works of Charity and Benevolence during, the whole of your long and glorious reign have endeared you to aU your subjects but to none more than the members of the University. We respectfuUy beg your Majesty to deign to receive our sincere and hearty congratulations upon your completing the Sixtieth year of your reign, and to permit us to express an earnest hope that by the ANNUAL REPORT, 1896.97. 377 blessing of Divine Providence your Majesty may be long spared to rule over a loyal, prosperous and united people. XIII.—SEDUCTION IN THE ANNUAL GEANT. In the year 1896-97 no further reduction was made in the Annual Maintenance Grant, which amounted in the year 1891-92 to -88250 and which is now £3260. The CouncU has pointed out in previous reports that the continued diminution of the University revenue by so large an amonnt as iS5000 may seriously impair ite efficiency. Moreover the injurious effect of this loss of income is aggravated by the fact that, for some years past, the Government has been unable to vote any special grants ior buildings and apparatns. New buUdings, particularly for the Engineering School, University Libraries, and for Lecture Booms are much required. XIV.—ACCOUNTS. A statement showing the income and expenditure of the varions funds of the University is appended. I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your ExceUency's most obedient Servant, ANTHONY COLLING BEOWNLESS; Chancellor.
