  • Econ History.Indb
    PRELUDE Pragmatism versus principle: bringing commercial and economics education to the University of Sydney Th e Faculty of Economics established by the University of Sydney in 1920 formalised the availability of Economics and associated subjects in the education it provided. However, this subject had been of concern to the University and its teaching staff from its very inception 70 years earlier. On the eve of enacting the University, the government committee investigating Sydney’s need for its own university recognised that although the University started with the then traditional studies of Classics, Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, new fi elds of study, including history and political economy ‘will soon be found indispensable’ (cited in Goodwin, 1966, p. 546). Th e University’s foundation Professor of Classics, John Woolley, off ered optional lectures in political economy, two of which were published in the 1855 Sydney University Magazine. Th ese did not set out its principles but stressed the usefulness of its ‘laws’ for promoting social harmony and preserving freedom and individual liberty. Woolley invited a Prize Essay on ‘Th e Infl uence of Political Economy on the Course of History’ and asked his Logic students in an examination paper to evaluate critically the proposition that ‘Political Economy is the science of social well-being’ (Goodwin 1966, p. 547; Groenewegen and McFarlane 1990, pp. 47–49; and Groenewegen 1990, pp. 21–23). His colleague, Morris Birkbeck Pell, a Cambridge senior wrangler and foundation Professor of Mathematics, in 1856 read a paper to the Sydney Philosophical Society on the principles of political economy as applied to railways, a topic he also addressed in the fi rst issue of the Sydney University Magazine.

    SCOTTISH COLLECTIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY LIBRARY Ross Coleman University of Sydney The Scottish connections in the founding of the University of Sydney in 1850 were significant, and represented by many of the first professors across a number of fields. The first professors of chemistry and physics, medicine, geology, philosophy, modern literature, education, economics, zoology, veterinary science and agriculture were Scots. Three Scots held the philosophy chair for 66 years between 1890 and 1963.1 Many Scots contributed, in differing ways, to the development of the University Library. Sir Normand MacLaurin, born in Fife, and vice-chancellor in 1887-89, 1895-96 and Chancellor from 1896, was instrumental in the building of the first specially designed library. It was during his Chancellorship that Fisher Library (named after a bequest by Thomas Fisher to the University for “establishing and maintaining a library”) was built in the south-west corner of the Quadrangle. The first Fisher Library was opened by MacLaurin in 1909, and the original library reading room is now known as MacLaurin Hall. Acquisitions to establish a University Library predated first actual teaching2 with the purchase in 1852 of a number of dictionaries and other philological works on various languages, including Greek, Latin, French, German, and Sanskrit, from the library of the Reverend Dr Mackean, together with some classical authors including Aristotle, Plato and Horace. Foundation professors requested books in their fields for purchase and the library collection grew with the addition of the library of the defunct Sydney College. The Stenhouse collection was purchased and presented to the University in 1878 by the businessman Thomas Walker.

  • The Faculty Ann Jervie Sefton
    Chapter 1 The Faculty Ann Jervie Sefton Introduction The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney was established on 13 June 1856, the first medical faculty in Australia and New Zealand. Initially, it served as an examining body. The Centenary Book of the University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine provides a detailed account of the debates in the Senate which preceded its inception and records its early development. That book celebrated 100 years of medical education at the University, providing details of the early examiners, teachers and students up until early 1980s. The histories of the departments were included, with notes on some of the more successful and colourful members. The avowed purpose of the Faculty was to train doctors for the growing colony of NSW (and, for some years, Queensland). The 26-year-old Thomas Peter Anderson Stuart (later Sir Thomas) was appointed to lead its development. Despite his youth, his distinguished referees wrote glowing testimonials. He was the first (and longest-serving) of the now 17 deans of the Faculty. Confident, and in later life formidable, Anderson Stuart graduated from Edinburgh, like many early staff at the University of Sydney. The Scottish schools and universities were of high repute, educating more of the population than was the case in England. He also had research training in Strasbourg. John Smith Anderson Stuart 2 1.

    SIR HENRY NORMAND MACLAURIN – FORMER CHANCELLOR (1896–1914) AND VICE– CHANCELLOR (1895–96) Sir Henry Normand MacLaurin (1835 - 1914) was a Fellow of Senate of the University of Sydney from 1883 - 1914, Vice-Chancellor from 1895 to 1896 and Chancellor from 1896 until his death in 1914. PROFILE (1835–1914) MA LLD St And MD LLD Edin Fellow of Senate 1883 - 1914, including election by Senate as – Vice-Chancellor 1895 - 1896 – Chancellor 1896 - 1914 His background Henry Normand MacLaurin was born in Scotland and was educated at home and at the University of St Andrews where he graduated MA in 1854, having obtained numerous prizes and scholarships during the course. He then studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh graduating MD in 1857. His career MacLaurin entered the Royal Navy as an Assistant Surgeon in 1858 and remained in the Service until 1871. Having made a tour of duty in New South Wales in 1868, he determined to take up medical practice there. On arriving in Sydney in 1871, he set up a successful practice in Macquarie Street. He was associated as an honorary with a number of institutions, including St Vincent’s Hospital (1874- 76) and the Sydney Infirmary and Dispensary (1873-84). MacLaurin was appointed to the Legislative Council in 1889 and was its Vice-President in 1893-94. He held directorships in a number of important financial institutions, such as the Bank of New South Wales and the Commercial Union Assurance Co Ltd and was Chairman of the Mutual Life & Citizen’s Assurance Co Ltd from 1908-14.

  • Colonel Henry Normand Maclaurin – Banco 10 November 2016 [Introductory – Slide 2] Chief Justice, Judges and All of You Who A
    Colonel Henry Normand MacLaurin – Banco 10 November 2016 [Introductory – Slide 2] Chief Justice, Judges and all of you who are here today to honour those of our profession who served and died in war. On Wednesday 5th of May 1915, a little over 101 years ago, the then Chief Justice of New South Wales, Sir William Cullen summoned together the judges of this Court. He stopped the Court’s business at 10 o’clock that morning to convene a special sitting in the Old Banco Court. Sir William’s purpose was simple: he wished to honour the sacrifice of Colonel Henry Normand MacLaurin, who had been killed by a Turkish sniper a week earlier. MacLaurin was not only an Army reservist on full time service. He was also one of Sydney’s leading junior barristers. MacLaurin had died on 27 April 2015, barely two days after wading ashore with the first troops at Gallipoli. News of his death had just reached Sydney. MacLaurin was also one of the NSW legal profession’s first casualties of WW1. His death had profound significance for everyone practising in Phillip Street. One example will suffice: Sir William Cullen would shortly have two of his own sons fighting at Gallipoli. That May 1915 Banco Court audience knew MacLaurin well. He was their friend-in-law. They already knew his story. Let me tell you that story now. 1 MacLaurin was born in Sydney on 31st October 1878 into a family with a deep tradition of public service. He bore the same name as his father, Sir Henry Normand MacLaurin, a distinguished physician and conservative NSW statesman of Scottish descent.

  • The Scots in Sydney
    Sydney Journal 1(2) June 2008 ISSN 1835-0151 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/sydney_journal/index The Scots in Sydney Malcolm Prentis Although it is sometimes said of nineteenth century Sydney that it was an English city in contrast with the more Scottish city of Melbourne, people of Scottish origin have played important roles in the development and life of Sydney. They have been there from the very beginning: young Forby Sutherland, one of Captain Cook’s crew in 1770, was the first Briton to be buried in Australia, in a district now bearing his name. Major Robert Ross of the Marines and Captain John Hunter were among several Scots on the first fleet in 1788. Scots formed a small minority of convicts transported (perhaps 5 per cent) and were among the earliest free settlers in the 1790s. The early years The foundation of Sydney coincided not only with the expansion of the British Empire but also with the heyday of the Scottish enlightenment and the onset of agricultural, industrial and political revolutions. Scotland contributed so liberally to the military and civil service of the Empire that it is no surprise to find many Scots in the Army, the Commissariat and among the surgeons. Though there were few Scots convicts, they included the ‘limner of Dumfries’, Thomas Watling, who left a valuable artistic record of early Sydney, and the Borderer Andrew Thompson who became a wealthy landowner and magistrate.1 The four ‘Scottish Martyrs’ (and one or two later) were transported from Scotland in 1794 for sedition.
