This committee was appointed by the Commonwealth Government in December, 1956, with Sir Keith Murray, chairman of the University Grants Committee in the United Kingdom, as chairman, to inquire into and report upon the needs of Australian university education. While the committee was in Victoria, the Government obtained its special recommendations upon the early es~ablishment of a second university in the State. The new seat of learning bears the name of Sir John Monash, a Victorian of great distinction, remarkable for the range of his interests and the versatility of his intellectual powers. An engineer by profession he won fame as the commander of the Australian Army Corps in the first world war, and as chairman of the State Electricity Commission from 1921 to 1931 he inspired and directed the scheme for the develop ment of electric power and fuel production from the brown coal deposits at Yallourn upon which the whole State now so largely depends for supplies. In these and many other fields he made a notable contribu tion to the life of Victoria and of Australia. In June, 1958, an Interim Council, appointed under the transitory provisions of the Monash University Act 1958 and charged with the duty of taking "all such steps as may be necessary in order that the Council of the University may be duly constituted upon the appointed day", held its first meeting, under the chairmanship of Mr. (later Sir) Robert Blackwood. The site of 250 acres at Clayton was acquired and with the advice of architects a master plan for its development was adopted. The Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, and the first Professor took up duty early in 1960. Rapid progress with the buildings and the appointment of additional staff leading to the development of the teaching pro gramme enabled the opening of the University in its permanent quarters by the Premier of Victoria on March 11, 1961. This was three years earlier than originally envisaged. Teaching began with an enrolment of 363 undergraduates and graduates in the faculties of Arts, Economics and Politics, Engineering, Medicine, and Science. The Interim Council, having discharged its duty, was replaced by the permanent Council on July 3, 1961, with Sir Robert Blackwood as Chancellor. Enrolments rose to 798 in 1962, 1,598 in 1963, and to 2,970 in 1964. The enrolment figure in 1965 is 4,271. It is hoped to house as many full-time students as possible in halls of residence, the 9 10 MONASH UNIVERSITY CALENDAR first of which was opened in 1962. A faculty of Law was established in 1964, when postgraduate studies in education were also introduced. The University offers the degrees of Bachelor, Master, Doctor of Philosophy, and higher Doctorates, and conferred its first Bachelor degrees at the beginning of the 1964 academic year. The University's funds derive largely from the State and Common wealth Governments, and from student fees. The State Government contributes equally with the Commonwealth to the cost of buildings and major items of equipment. With respect to recurrent expenditure, the Commonwealth contributes £ 1 for every £ 1.85 received by way of State grants and student fees. In the period of nearly six years from the date of incorporation of the University to December 31, 1963, recurrent expenditure totalled £3,765,000 and other expenditure £10,164,000. In respect of the 1964-66 triennium, it is anticipated that recurrent and other expen diture will be of the order of £12,000,000 and £6,000,000 respectively. COAT OF ARMS Granted November 20, 1963 The Coat of Arms of the University is described as follows: "Azure a Chevron Argent between in chief an open Book proper bound clasped and edged Or and a Sword environed by a Laurel Wreath Gold and in base a representation of the constellation of the Southern Cross also Argent." The devices on the shield arise as follows: the open book is commonly found on the shields of universities and learned societies and symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge, the stars of the Southern Cross are of course appropriate to our geographical posi tion, and the wreath and sword are a quotation from the shield of Sir John Monash. The motto "Ancora lmparo" is said to have been a saying of Michelangelo's and means "I am still learning". 11 PRINCIPAL DATES FOR 1965 JANUARY 1 Friday New Year's Day 2 Saturday 4 Monday University re-opens 5 Tuesday 6 Wednesday 7 Thursday 8 Friday 9 Saturday 11 Monday 12 Tuesday 13 Wednesday 14 Thursday 15 Friday 16 Saturday 18 Monday Commencement of term for Medicine V 19 Tuesday 20 Wednesday 21 Thursday 22 Friday 23 Saturday 25 Monday 26 Tuesday 27 Wednesday 28 Thursday 29 Friday 30 Saturday 12 PRINCIPAL DATES 13 FEBRUARY 1 Monday Australia Day 2 Tuesday Committee of Deans Supplementary and deferred examinations commence 3 Wednesday Faculty of Medicine Executive Committee 4 Thursday 5 Friday 6 Saturday 8 Monday Buildings Committee 9 Tuesday 10 Wednesday Faculty of Science Executive Committee Superannuation Administrators 11 Thursday Victorian Universities and Schools Examinations Board 12 Friday 13 Saturday 15 Monday Commencement of first term for Medicine IV 16 Tuesday Committee of Deans Publication of results of supplementary and deferred examinations 17 Wednesday Publication of results of supplementary and deferred examinations 18 Thursday 19 Friday Steering Committee of the Professorial Board 20 Saturday 22 Monday Last day for re-enrolment of students who presented for supplementary or deferred examinations or whose academic standing was under review and have been permitted to re-enrol 23 Tuesday Residence Committee Staff Committee 24 Wednesday Professorial Board 25 Thursday 26 Friday Union Board 27 Saturday 14 MONASH UNIVERSITY CALENDAR MARCH 1 Monday 2
