At its first meeting the members of the Council entitled to do so by sub-section 9 of Section 11 of the Act resolved to co-opt the following gentlemen as additional members of the Council until 30th June, 1953:— Stanley Melbourne, Viscount Bruce of Melbourne, C.H., M.C., B.A. (Cantab.), LL.D. (Cantab., Syd. and Melb.), D.C.L. (Oxon), F.R.S. Professor Richard Charles Mills, O.B.E., LL.M (Melb.), D.Sc. (Econ.) (Lond.). Dr. Herbert Cole Coombs, M.A. (W.A.), Ph.D. (Lond.). At the same meeting the Council, to whom the Act reserved the duty of electing a Chancellor, resolved to elect Viscount Bruce Chancellor of the University and subsequently the period of Lord Bruce’s membership of the Council was extended to 30th June, 1955. Lord Bruce, after the custom of Chancellors of some Universities in the United Kingdom, is resident abroad, and will visit the University at regular intervals. The National University has accorded its highest distinction to an eminent Australian and, in his acceptance of the high office, the University has been greatly honoured. A Standing Committee of the Council was elected. The Standing Committee is provided for in section 24 of the Act, doubtless by reason of the geographical location of the University and the widely representative character of the Council’s membership. The Council proposes to meet about five times a year. It will delegate authority for much of the routine management of the University to the Standing Committee and the Vice-Chancellor. LEGISLATION. On 12th October, 1951, the Council made a Rule (Enrolment, Courses of Research, and Degrees Rule No. 18) governing the award of Honorary Degrees. VISITORS. The University had looked forward to welcoming His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh on the occasion of the Royal Visit planned to take place in April, 1952. Plans had been made for His Royal Highness, who was at the time President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, to greet members of the Australian Association in Canberra and to inspect the National University. Unhappily, the visit had to be deferred and the University now looks forward in the hope that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second and His Royal Highness may find it possible to visit us when an Australian tour is again practicable. Professor Raymond Firth, F.B.A., the Interim Council’s adviser in relation to the Research School of Pacific Studies, came to Canberra in August, 1951, to spend a year as Acting Director of the Research School of Pacific Studies. Sir Howard Florey, F.R.S., visited Canberra from 29th August, 1951, to 29th September, 1951, in connexion with the establishment of departments of the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra and the erection of the School’s laboratory buildings. 7 Sir Edward Mellanby, F.R.S., visited Australian universities and Research Institutions at the University’s invitation from 2nd July to 25th September, 1951. Sir Edward was, until recently, Secretary of the Medical Research Council of Great Britain. He was, with President Conant of Harvard University, a principal speaker at the Jubilee seminar “ Science in Australia ” conducted by the University as part of the Commonwealth Jubilee programme. Professor K. C. Wheare, Adviser to the- Interim Council on the Research School of Social Sciences, visited Australia from 19th September to 27th November, 1951, to join in discussions with the University’s academic advisers and to participate in the Jubilee seminar “ Federalism in Australia”. Sir Richard Livingstone, former President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, visited the Australian Universities from 19th September to 3rd December. During his visit Sir Richard addressed the New Education Fellowship Conference in Sydney and Adelaide. JUBILEE SEMINARS. The University arranged two seminars to mark the Jubilee of the Commonwealth. The first seminar, “ Science in Australia ”, was held during July, the principal overseas participants being Dr. James B. Conant, Präsident of Harvard University, and Sir Edward Mellanby. formerly Secretary of the Medical Research Council in the United Kingdom. The second seminar, on “ Federalism ” was held during August and September, and on that occasion Professor W.

  • DB Copland and the Aftershocks of the Premiers' Plan 1931-1939
    D.B. Copland and the Aftershocks of the Premiers’ Plan 1931-1939 Alex Millmow University of Ballarat Introduction Since Roland Wilson’s (1951) tribute to L. F. Giblin as ‘the grand old man’ or father figure of modern Australian economics there has been a tendency to underestimate the achievements and legacy of Douglas Berry Copland. It became fashionable, moreover, with the post-war generation of economists to belittle his contribution to interwar Australian economic thought especially that relating to stabilisation policy. Copland was quite aware of the chiselling away at his reputation. Commenting to a friend while reading Harrod’s biography of Keynes he wrote ‘Still reading Keynes and I remember most of the controversy and the discussion he was involved from the 1920’s onwards. A few of us had been working on similar lines and I have somewhere a set of memorandums to the government of NSW from 1932 to 1936 urging with all the persuasion I could muster an expansionist policy, but we could not get pass the Commonwealth Treasury. It would be fun to dig them out now and circulate for the younger brethren who still think we are past praying for. I’m sure he (Keynes) would disown Coombs and his school if he was with us now’.1 By that reflection Copland revealed not just his close dealings with Keynes but his fear that a hydraulic Keynesianism was taking hold within the Australian economics fraternity. It also showed Copland’s pride of the policy advocacy and controversies he had actively participated in during the 1930’s.

  • The Children's Demonstration Pageant of Empire, South Australia 1936
    australiaa n societ s y fo r mumsic education e One hundred years of ‘Anglo- i ncorporated Saxondom’ in the south: the Children’s Demonstration Pageant of Empire, South Australia 1936 Jane Southcott Monash University, Australia Abstract There is a universality to the sight of groups of children celebrating public events. These groups might be large or small but teachers and students put much time and effort into preparing performances for appreciative audiences. These events occur across cultures and countries, are commonplace and expected but also highly memorable to participants and spectators. Sometimes such events gain greater historical significance due to time, place and context. One such example occurred in the years preceding World War 2 in the small but staunchly patriotic State of South Australia. In 1936 13,000 school children gathered in Adelaide to perform a Pageant of Empire as part of the State centenary celebrations. Despite there being rumblings across the globe about the viability of the British Empire or its successor, the Commonwealth, Adelaide was overwhelmed by the spectacle. Miss Inspector Adelaide Meithke brought the production to fruition. The pageant presented choreographed musical displays representing England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The Empire was represented by Indian rajahs, dancing girls, guards, and an elephant, followed by Canadian scenes, then Australian iconic images. The event concluded with the ‘Family of Nations’. This article includes participant recollections and is framed by contemporary discussions of the place and role of the Empire. This South Australian celebration can be understood as a looking back to what had been, using visual icons, music, dance and a cast of thousands.

  • The Ownership of Knowledge in Higher Education in Australia 1939-1996
    The Ownership of Knowledge in Higher Education in Australia 1939-1996 Hannah Forsyth Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sydney, 2012 Declaration of Originality This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or institute of higher learning. I affirm that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work. I certify to the best of my knowledge that all sources of reference have been acknowledged. ................................................... Hannah Forsyth 2 Abstract This thesis traces transformations in the history of higher education in twentieth- century Australia from the perspective of the ownership and regulation of knowledge. Using primarily archival sources from universities and government, I argue that after the Second World War, the university’s place in society and the economy was radically altered because of challenges to its authority over knowledge. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Australian government increased its interest in research. Among political and tertiary leaders, this led to questions about the role of research and higher education for society, resulting in uncertainties about the ongoing independence – and thus reliability – of university knowledge. A growing reliance on higher education to support government aims linked the growth of universities in Australia to nation-building and the government’s economic strategies. But in the 1960s and 1970s, a small but influential group of university staff and students resisted the connection of higher education in Australia to established goals and values, exposing the university’s vested interests in society and its role in legitimising and perpetuating social and economic injustices.
