  • Gladys Nicholls: an Urban Aboriginal Leader in Post-War Victoria
    Gladys Nicholls: An Urban Aboriginal Leader in Post-war Victoria Patricia Grimshaw School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC. 3010 [email protected] Abstract: Gladys Nicholls was an Aboriginal activist in mid-20 th century Victoria who made significant contributions to the development of support networks for the expanding urban Aboriginal community of inner-city Melbourne. She was a key member of a talented group of Indigenous Australians, including her husband Pastor Doug Nicholls, who worked at a local, state and national level to improve the economic wellbeing and civil rights of their people, including for the 1967 Referendum. Those who knew her remember her determined personality, her political intelligence and her unrelenting commitment to building a better future for Aboriginal people. Keywords: Aboriginal women, Aboriginal activism, Gladys Nicholls, Pastor Doug Nicholls, assimilation, Victorian Aborigines Advancement League, 1967 Referendum Gladys Nicholls (1906–1981) was an Indigenous leader who was significant from the 1940s to the 1970s, first, in action to improve conditions for Aboriginal people in Melbourne and second, in grassroots activism for Indigenous rights across Australia. When the Victorian government inscribed her name on the Victorian Women’s Honour Roll in 2008, the citation prepared by historian Richard Broome read as follows: ‘Lady Gladys Nicholls was an inspiration to Indigenous People, being a role model for young women, a leader in advocacy for the rights of Indigenous people as well as a tireless contributor to the community’. 1 Her leadership was marked by strong collaboration and co-operation with like-minded women and men, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, who were at the forefront of Indigenous reform, including her prominent husband, Pastor (later Sir) Doug Nicholls.

    2731 THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE PRESS JOHN JEFFERSON BRAY: A BIOGRAPHY BY DR JOHN EMERSON FOREWORD The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELIADE PRESS JOHN JEFFERSON BRAY: A BIOGRAPHY BY DR JOHN EMERSON FOREWORD The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG* John Jefferson Bray served with distinction as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia from 1967 to 1978 and as Chancellor of the University of Adelaide from 1968 to 1983. He derived from a distinguished colonial family. He was educated in expensive boarding schools. He won a rare doctorate of laws degree for research on aspects of insolvency and private international law. He took silk at an appropriate age. He appeared in lots of important cases, including in the High Court of Australia. For a time he served as deputy to the Lieutenant Governor of his State. On the face of things, the reader might think that someone who had followed this golden path to high judicial office and public service would be worthy; but unlikely to have lived a life that would set the pulse racing. However, as John Emerson’s new biography shows, Bray, whilst being an outstanding lawyer and judge, was anything but a stereotype. Especially in his time and place, South Australia in the second half of the twentieth century, Bray was unique: a one off. The central interest of this biography lies in unravelling the puzzle of how such a gifted legal scholar, advocate and judge could, at the same time, live a life that so outraged the orthodox expectations that ascended upon him.

  • The Adelaide Law School 1883-1983
    THE ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL 1883-1983 by Victor Allen Edgeloe Dr Edgeloe, Registrar Emeritus of the University of Adelaide, was Secretary of the Faculty of Law from 1927 to 1948, and Registrar from 1955 to 1973. Since his retirement Dr Edgeloe has written an account of the foundation and development of the Faculties of Law, Medicine and Music. His aim was, as he states in the preface, "to provide an administrator's history of the birth of the University's schools of law, medicine and music" which '%umrnarises the relevant records of the University and the relevant comments of the public press of the day". The manuscript is held in the Barr Smith Library. It shows Dr Edgeloe's love of, and devotion to, the University which he served for forty-six years. The Adelaide Law Review Association is grateful to him for permission to include his history of the Law School in this collection of essays. The Beginnings In the 1870's the Province of South Australia was a pioneering community which was expanding rapidly in numbers and in area occupied. There was a clear need for a growing body of well-trained lawyers. The existing arrangements for the training of lawyers involved simply the satisfactory completion of a five-year apprenticeship with a legal practitioner (technically designated "service in articles") and the passing of a small range of examinations conducted by the Supreme Court. University teaching in law was available in the United Kingdom and had also been established in Melbourne.' The South Australian Parliament envisaged a similar development here for it empowered the University from its foundation in 1874 to confer degrees in law and thus give the University a major role in the training of members of the legal profession within the Province.
