A remarkable year A glimpse at Trinity's activities and achievements this year quickly confirms that it has been another vintage year in all parts of the college — the residential College, the Theological School, the Foundation Studies Program, and the Development Office and Foundation. The College community has been inspired by our richly varied Visiting Scholars, including two Nobel Laureates in medicine, two of Australia's finest leaders and soldiers, researchers in zoology, philanthropy, neurology and constitutional law and internationally renowned experts in ecumenism, church architecture and hymn writing. A strong tutorial program running over 80 tutorials a week and proactive academic and pastoral mentoring, enjoyed by more and more students, has resulted in better academic results than have been seen for some years. Our reputation grows and the College expects, once again, a high demand for places next year from students from every Australian state and territory and from overseas. To complement this, 1999-2000 TCAC from left, Annabel Reid there is a growing interest from Indoor Representative Caroline Ray Secretary, old members of the College to help Tom Woolley Treasurer, Chris Fernie Men's with the establishment of Sport, Tressie Norton Women's Sport, Chris scholarships to help other deserving Watkins Senior Student and Caroline Adler but disadvantaged students enjoy General Representative with the Warden, what Trinity offered them.

The weekend of Artsfest in August was a hot-house of artistic expression in all its guises and the Dialectic Society, inter-building debating, musical soirees, and theatre-sports fed the soul. The Choir have never sung better and have released a new CD featuring the music recorded live in the historic English chapels and cathedrals during their 1998 tour. The sportsmen have won the Cowan Cup for the second year in a row — a feat not achieved before — and Trinity students, through Outreach, have contributed to the wider community in many valuable ways. Individuals were recognised for their contributions at the End-of-Year Dinner. Sarah Nosworthy took a standing ovation for the top award of Student of the Year. Nick Agar, Jen Miller, James Sattler and Kathy Trebeck were recognised for Outstanding Contributions to the College during their years at Trinity. Outstanding Contributions to the Arts was awarded to Marney McQueen and Richard Wheeldon. Sportswoman of the Year was Kate Ross and Sportsman of the Year was Chris Fernie. In 2000, the Theological School will make history, teaching students potentially from all over the world with its online programs. The on-going financial support of its friends is crucial to the School and the College is deeply grateful for that. Under its new Director, David Prest AM, the Foundation Studies Program goes from strength to strength, providing pathways for international students into the University of Melbourne. The popularity of the course with students from Asia and Africa has outweighed any economic downturn, and in turn, the students contribute a rich diversity to the College. All in all, a quite remarkable year.

Although Trinity women came in to rinity claims to be the first University college in Australia that admitted women students to its teaching. The pioneer student was a lady who now holds a co-residence in 1974, it might come distinguished position in the medical_profession. It is very strange, looking hack all those years, to remember the way in which her application for admission was as news to some that there were received. I favoured it myself, but it was a matter too important to settle on my own account, so I took it to Bishop Moorhouse, and was surprised to find that he strongly Trinity women a century before, from objected. The reason of his objections was extraordinary. It seems, indeed, almost incredible at this stage of the world's history. He represented that it would prejudice 1883 until Janet Clarke Hall became the squatters against the college, because they would not like to see their sons marry the penniless girls they would meet there. When a man like Bishop Moorhouse could a college in its own right in 1962. urge such a reason, can one wonder that the emancipation of woman was so long delayed? What would he have thought of the proposal, now steadily gaining ground, Dr Alexander Leeper, first Warden and certain before long to be translated into fact — the admission of women to the three orders of the ministry? The college would have lost severely in prestige if Bishop of Trinity, and a great pioneer Moorhouse had had his way on that occasion, for many of our most distinguished students are women. There is nothing invidious, I hope, in saying that the best classic of university education for women, who ever passed through my hands at Trinity was a woman.

It took the colleges about fifteen years to learn the harsh realities of sexual harassment and to realise that our original laissez-faire policy afforded little protection for the exploited and intimidated. The sad experience of Dr Alan Gregory, the Master of Ormond, and the women students he was accused in 1991 of harassing, finally sharpened our awareness of these matters and led to better sexual harassment policies and awareness programs. Recent increases in the number of Muslim women in Trinity also suggest that that there may, after all, be a case for some facilities reserved for women. In Oxford and Cambridge, pressure from the rising standards expected by conference guests during vacations has meant a great many more student rooms with en suite facilities, and I dare say a similar approach will in time help to solve Trinity's problems. Twenty years ago who would have thought that every room would have its own telephone and computer link before the end of the century?

Nine years ago, as a final year undergraduate who happened to be tutoring at St John's College, Queensland University, I was fortunate enough to meet a visiting scholar from Oxford who was then the age I am now and whose guidance helped shape a vision of what adventures might await after graduation. It has been a great pleasure to spend first semester 1999 endeavouring to do for Trinity students what Don Markwell did for me back then. This happy sabbatical between foreign assignments has let me return to some scholarship, which has ranged from a short historical paper given at a public seminar in the College and entitled `Federalism and the Judges: How the Americans Laurence Claus made us what we are to a more provocative piece being co-written with a colleague in Germany called `A Veto for the Well-Behaved: Voting Rights in an Expanding European Union.' The purpose of the former was to make some of the material from my doctoral thesis digestible for a local, largely legal, audience, whilst through the latter my co-author and I hope to make a constructive contribution to debate about the best model for decision-making in the European Union Council. Our strategy for making that contribution involves masquerading as political scientists and taking up the invitation to present the paper at the American Political Science Association conference in Atlanta in September. The foregoing account of activity should not however, be understood to suggest long lonely days spent tapping away at a laptop.

He also explained that leadership at all levels is essentially the same everywhere and requires the same qualities which have changed little throughout history. He encouraged students to study the great and successful leaders and apply the essentials of what they did in contemporary situations. The essentials are clear he said: know your stuff, look after your people, practise the key qualities of courage, willpower, judgement and flexibility, and project your personality to inspire action.

This is certainly true it seems to me. Trinity is a great place Actually, what Fr Nick was referring to was what many to develop leadership abilities. There are many opportunities for Australian youth are told today, and especially when they are students to be involved each year in organising, motivating and looking for employment. Trinity residents, however, are very leading other students. Many students have the opportunity lucky. On the whole, they come from loving and nurturing to experience the intrinsic worthwhileness in serving others families. Without exception, they have a very good education, they and a satisfaction derived from contributing to a community. have every opportunity, and they have invariably been told that Whether this contribution be through helping friends through they have the ability to do whatever they wish.

It is very difficult to justify having such wealth and One group at Trinity has this focus more than any other. opportunity when so many others have great difficulty finding Outreach is a group of resident students who contribute to the even a simple job. Part of the justification was revealed to me community within the College and in the wider world. Recent recently in a conversation with old Trinity member, Dr Jeffrey history has suggested that Outreach members are also the people Trahair, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anatomical Sciences who become the leaders within the College, and hopefully they, at the University of Adelaide.

activities into College life. Originally the group involved a core of people doing regular leadership activities including tutoring and working in soup kitchens. The group also worked in local Aboriginal communities to promote a cultural exchange. In recent years, Outreach was established as a TCAC club. During Orientation Week, Outreach activities are presented as central to College life as any other activity at Trinity. This year, a record number of first-year residents have been involved with the group. This year, as part of the renewal of a long-standing tradition between Trinity and the Brotherhood of St Laurence in Fitzroy, students have tutored students at the Brotherhood on a weekly basis. This has been a positive experience for both tutor and student. The students acquire skills and knowledge, and the tutor learns of the difficulties of migrants and other disadvantaged students. During Trinity's volunteer week, students painted each other and the Anglicare courtyard in East Melbourne, cheering it up for their residents. Several students also helped `Here For Life', a youth suicide prevention group, in the organisation of National Youth Week. Outreach also helped `Here for Life' during the Birdman Rally, providing a group to dress up and have fun to promote a positive image of Australian youth. A smaller number of volunteers were also able to work for a short time in the St Alban's Op Shop. Fundraising efforts have included feeding a great number of spectators at the rowing regatta on the banks of the Yarra, for the Anti-Cancer Council's Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, and raising money for the Melbourne City Mission and the Salvation Army. With the difficulties facing so many refugees during 1999, Outreach also promoted a refugee awareness week at Trinity. A number of guests spoke to students during Chapel and after dinner about the difficulties facing refugees throughout the world. This was complemented by a soccer match between the teams of Trinity College and the Puckapunyal Kosovo Refugees. Although one of the Kosovo refugees admitted that the Trinity Bellringers to ban landmines, from left, Associate Chaplain Richard team was better than some of the local Albanian teams, the Treloar with Elizabeth Ryan, Clare Cameron and Georgie McMullen. Kosovo Refugee Team won the game with a decisive victory. In international humanitarian efforts, Outreach was involved in the 40 Hour Famine for World Vision, the bell ringing for the global commitment to the outlawing of landmines, and during the refugee awareness week, certain `celebrities' around the College offered to serve dinner to the College if fundraising targets were met. The Warden was prepared to serve if a target of $1000 was met. Unfortunately the fundraising efforts fell just short!
