George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

  • Roger Tanner and John Kent
    Chapter One - General Introduction Roger Tanner and John Kent 1.1 Early days In the beginning there was no Engineering at the new (1851) University of Sydney as it began as a ‘liberal arts’ college, but in 1882 Mr. William H. Warren was appointed as Lecturer in Engineering. Warren was thirty years old when appointed. He had been a railway engineer in Britain and had studied at Owen’s College in Manchester, at a time when engineering was under the direction of the famous Professor Osbourne Reynolds, and before the college became Manchester University. It is clear from the University of Sydney history that things did not go smoothly for the new lecturer [Turney et al 1991]. Although only three undergraduate students and seven non-matriculated students were in the 1883 class, there were complaints from staff and students that accommodation in the Main Building was inadequate. (Fig 1) It was only in 1909 that this issue was finally resolved when the new P. N. Russell engineering building was opened (Fig 2). Fig 1 University Main Building (The Engineering Yearbook, University of Sydney, 1926) 1 Fig. 2 The first P.N. Russell Engineering Building, opened in 1909. (The Engineering Yearbook, University of Sydney 1926). In 1884 Warren and attendant/factotum John Hufton were the total engineering staff. However, the three-year B.E. course was economically organised: First Year: First Year Arts (Latin, Greek, Natural Philosophy); Second Year: Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Physical Geography and Geology, Surveying, Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Drawing; Third Year: Mechanical Engineering and Machine Construction (or Civil or Mining options).

THOMAS WARREN F. R. S. A. IRELAND "Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world."-DANIEL WEBSTER PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION £All riglzts reserved] A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE WARREN FAMILY To THE ~IEMBERS OF THE VARIO US BRANCHES OF THE ANCIENT AND NOBLE FAMILY OF WARREN AND THOSE RELATED TO THEM BY THE COMPILER THOMAS WAR REN PREFACE SOME years ago, having retired from professional duties owing to failing health, I began to trace my own family pedigree, without any intention of writing a book; but finding the study of Genealogy so fascinating, I was led to extend my researches to other branches of the old and honoured name of Warren. The materials I have collected, after long and arduous labour, are considered by friends to be worthy of record as well as useful and interesting, not only to those of the name and kindred now living, but important as a basis to work from for others who may afterwards wish to enter upon this field of research and add to the information already acquired. Hence the volume now submitted to my readers. In this work, which has been to me a labour of love, I have received much sympathy and valuable assistance from members of this great and widely-dispersed family, to whom I return my grateful thanks.

    Journal and Proceedings of The Royal Society of New South Wales Volume 104 Parts 3 and 4 pp.123-141 Return to CONTENTS Words, Actions, People: 150 Years of the Scientific Societies in Australia D.F. Branagan Address given in commemoration of the sesquicentenary of the foundation of the Philosophical Society of Australasia. Douglass Oxley Field Hill Goulbourn Howe ―Upwards of thirty years have now elapsed, since the colony of New South Wales was established in one of the most interesting parts of the world—interesting as well from the novel and endless variety of its animal and vegetable productions, as from the wide and extending range for observation and experiment, which its soil and climate offer to the agriculturist. Yet little has been done to awaken a spirit of research or excite a thirst for information amongst the Colonists... It is therefore proposed to form a Society, for the purpose of collecting information with respect to the Natural State, capabilities, productions, and resources of Australasia and the adjacent regions, and for the purpose of publishing, from time to time, such information as may be likely to benefit the world. at large. The undersigned individuals therefore subscribe their names as original Members of a Society, to be called THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALASIA. Thus on the 4th July, 1821, James Bowman, Henry Grattan Douglass, Barron Field, Frederick Goulburn, Francis Irvine, John Oxley and Edward Wollstonecraft set in motion the first of our scientific societies, with Dr. Douglass named as Secretary. (Philosophical Society‘s Minute Book.)1 1According to Phillips (1909), an earlier attempt was made in 1818 to set up an Agricultural Society; this failed because of Governor Macquarie‘s opposition to Judge Advocate Wylde‘s idea of balloting for membership.
