Stokes Registered in Australia for transmission by post as a book / v •3 •"^ FOREWORD By the Chancellor I accord it a privilege to contribute, with the Vice-Chancellor, a foreword to this small volume that records our celebrations on the occasion of the Jubilee of the University. Not that fifty years is very long in the life of a University, but it does enable us to look back and assess the results in those important formative first decades. Undoubtedly the status that we have assumed so far in that great assembly of universities of the world has been due to the ability, the imagination, and the devotion of many people. And I think, in the first place, of the past Chancellors of this now large University of 8,700 students which, in 1910, opened with 83 students. The first Chancellor was His Excellency Sir "Wil­ liam MacGregor, and then there followed Sir Alexander Cooper (Chief Justice of Queensland), His Excellency Sir Matthew Nathan, The Honour­ able Andrew Thynne, Sir James Blair (Chief Justice of Queensland), The Honourable William Forgan Smith, and Dr. Otto Hirschfeld. All of them were men who made a distinctive contribution. In this they were aided by the great service given them by the Senate of the University and by the loyalty, the ability, the hard work and, above all, by the faith of the men and women who staffed the University. This book will serve, in one way, as a permanent appreciation of the great part they have played in making us so justifiably proud of our achievements on this the fiftieth anniversary of the University of Queensland. The celebrations, carefully recorded, were outstandingly successful and I should like to thank the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar, and all those responsible for their organization. In addition I should like also to thank the Deputy Chancellor for his help at this time. ^'. Q>. /T>c^(y-n^ Chancellor FOREWORD By the Vice-Chancellor The Chancellor in his foreword has indicated that our Jubilee celebra­ tions were an outstanding success. I should like to record the sincere thanks of the University to the many members of the staff who gave so generously of their time and creative powers in planning such eminently successful ceremonies. In particular I should like to thank Mr. H. B. Green, Officer in Charge of Ceremonies, for his very effective organization of the entire Jubilee celebrations. The presence with us of so many eminent scholars from sister universities and institutions all over the world, bearing greetings of goodwill, was indeed a warm encouragement to us to continue to strive for those standztrds and ideals so important to us all. It is ray fervent hope that fifty years from now the University will be able to look back upon a comparable era of progress and service, and that this record may serve as a reminder of the joy experienced by us and the honour accorded to us by the presence of so many distinguished guests on the occasion of our first half century of development. h^ick^vdUi/ Vice-Chancellor CONTENTS The Address of Loyalty 1 Invitations $ Programme of the Celebrations 4 Formal Registration of Delegates 5 The Reception at the City Hall 5 The Garden Party at the University, St. Lucia 5 The Official Welcome to Delegates and the Oration by Sir Robert Lowe Hall 6 Message from Her Majesty the Queen 7 Message from Her Majesty the Queen Mother 8 Message from Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Kent 9 Address by the Chancellor 10 The Oration by Sir Robert Lowe Hall 12 Vote of Thanks to Sir Robert Hall by the Vice-Chancellor 28 The Ceremony of Conferring of Honorary Degrees and Presentation of Addresses by Delegates 30 The Conferring of Honorary Degrees 31 Address by the Chancellor 42 The Presentation of Addresses of Salutation 46 Reply to the Chancellor's Address by Sir Alex Reid 50 Reply to the Chancellor's Address by Sir Leslie Martin 52 The Garden Party at Parliament House 54 The University Banquet 55 Toast of the University of Queensland by Professor H.

The University was inaugurated and endowed by an Act of the Legislature of Queensland which received the Royal Assent on 10 December 1909, fifty years after the establishment of responsible government in the state. But the appointment of the members of the first Senate on 15 April 1910 marks the date on which the University is deemed to have been constituted. The University is therefore now celebrating the Fiftieth Anni­ versary of its constitution. During its first half-century the University has grown so vigorously that it is now one of the largest universities in Your Majesty's Commonwealth of Australia. This development has been made possible by the devoted labours of many able scholars and administrators, outstanding among whom is Mr. J. D. Story, member of Senate since its inception and Vice-Chancellor from 1938 to 1960. The University has been most fortunate, too, in the encouragement and assistance it has received from the Governors of Queensland in their capacity as Official Visitors to the University. The University is proud of its past achievements and of the distinguished contribution made by its graduates to the intellectual and material well- being of Queensland and its people. Today the University is entering on a new phase in its development—a phase of rapid growth in which students, teachers, and biiildings will all have an important part to play.

  • The Sporting Baronet
    THE SPORTING BARONET SIR GEORGE ARTHUR HAMILTON BEAUMONT, 11TH BARONET OF STOUGHTON Born January 18th 1881 – Died October 2nd 1933 Sir George seated on one of his horses (probably “Coleorton”) in his racing colours of Scarlet cap and French Grey BY SAMUEL T STEWART – APRIL 2020 FORWARD Unfortunately, the Beaumont archives have been variously lost, stolen, or destroyed, and what remains is scattered and incomplete. It is known that an extensive archive existed at Coleorton Hall before the death of the 9th Baronet (1882), after which the hall was leased when the 10th Baronet abandoned his wife. The 11th Baronet only lived at the hall for nine years before his death in 1933, after which the property was leased and eventually purchased by the National Coal Board in 1948. The N.C.B. archive contained relevant documents only as far as their ownership or lease of property was concerned, and detailed examination of these papers suggested that the bulk of the 19th century Beaumont archive had been lost prior to 1948. The majority of the paperwork relating to Estate Management between 1850 and 1933, held at the “Ginn Stables” Estate Office was burnt in 1933, and the Ashby Solicitors cleared out most of their Beaumont documentation following the Waste Paper Drive during the war in 1943. Following the Beaumont’s’ parlous financial position in the second half of the 19th century, the hall was rented / leased during the period 1877 to 1926. It was leased for 25 years between 1901 and 1926 by the wealthy Abel-Smith’s. The Abel-Smith’s move to the hall approximately coincided with the time Sir George Arthur Hamilton Beaumont, 11th Baronet, joined the army at the age of twenty.

  • The Coleorton Sherwins'
    Coleorton Village History (As seen through the eyes of the newspapers) By Samuel T Stewart – 2015 Preface This book has been structured around newspaper articles of the day. Part 1 This is specific to Coleorton village life and features a comprehensive and fascinating selection of old newspaper articles for the period 1776-1951, with supplementary information and photographs added by the author where appropriate. The following is a typical short example:- The following appeared under the deaths column in the Leicester Chronicle dated Jan 17th 1829 Lately at Coleorton, in this County, James Prestall, aged 94 years and ten months. He was the oldest inhabitant of that place, and died in the same house he was born. He was the father of seventeen children and was esteemed by his neighbours as an honest, sober, and industrious man, from where he received many favours, particularly from the late Sir George Howland Beaumont and his Lady. The newspaper articles, give a wonderful insight into the village happenings in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Part 2 This part features newspaper articles dedicated to “The Beaumonts” and “Coleorton Hall”. Numerous supplementary articles with photographs are again featured such as - The Design & Construction of the present Coleorton Hall and its gardens etc., The contributions of architects George Dance & Robert Chaplin, Wordsworth’s Winter Garden at Coleorton Hall, The Engraved Memorials, The visits of Constable & Haydon, A tribute to Montgomery Henderson, The lives of the Beaumont 11th and 12th Baronets. Part 3 The author felt that as he had already published a book on Methodism in Coleorton and the local area, we owed it to the Baptists, who in fact, had a longer history in Swannington and Coleorton, to try and find out something about them also.

  • The Golfer's Annual for 1869-70
    ONE ILLIKG AND SIXPEN : No. G-/PO2.. * « GOLFER'S ANNUAL FOR 18.69-70. COMPILED AMD EDITED BY CHARLES MACARTHFR. AYE: TROTTED AND PUBLTSIIED BY HENRY & GRANT. 16 PKEFACE. GOLF, the National Game of Scotland, and one of the most enticing of out-door exercises, is now so extensively indulged in as to deserve, at least, some statistical publication. A few years ago a work similar1 to this was published, but was not continued. Since then the practice of the Game has rapidly extended; and many solicitations having recently boon made to the Editor to bring out a GOLFER'S ANNUAL, his love for the Game, and his desire to gratify Golfers and others, induced him to undertake the work. The ANNUAL contains much interesting matter, such as a record of all the Golf Clubs at present known, with their respective. Competitions and Tournaments during the last three years, the llules of the Game observed by different Clubs, as well as other incidents; and the details of tho Competitions for the Champion Belt since its institution by the Prestwick Golf Club have been deemed of sufficient importance to entitle them to consider- able space. While imperfections may be apparent, it. is hoped that, though not claimed on its merits, the object of the ANNUAL will secure it a passport for this year, and that sufficient encouragement will be j^'ven for the appearance of its suc- cessor. The thanks of the. Editor avo due, and are now warmly tendered, to the Secretaries of the different Clubs, and others, who so readily furnished information in aid of his efforts.' 1JRUNTON C'OTTAGK, LONDON ROAD, EDINBURGH, Fubfuaiu, 1S70.
