  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Reluctant Lawyer, Reluctant Politician
    Alfred Deakin (1856–1919) Australia’s 2nd Prime Minister Terms of office 24 September 1903 to 27 April 1904 • 5 July 1905 to 13 November 1908 • 2 June 1909 to 29 April 1910 Reluctant lawyer, reluctant politician Deakin first met David Syme, the Scottish-born owner of The Age newspaper, in May 1878, as the result of their mutual interest in spiritualism. Soon after, Syme hired the reluctant lawyer on a trial basis, and he made an immediate impression. Despite repeatedly emphasising how ‘laborious’ journalism could be, Deakin was good at it, able to churn out leaders, editorials, investigative articles and reviews as the occasion demanded. Syme wielded enormous clout, able to make and break governments in colonial Victoria and, after 1901, national governments. A staunch advocate of protection for local industry, he ‘connived’ at Deakin’s political education, converting his favourite young journalist, a free-trader, into a protectionist. As Deakin later acknowledged, ‘I crossed the fiscal Rubicon’, providing a first clear indication of his capacity for political pragmatism--his willingness to reshape his beliefs and ‘liberal’ principles if and when the circumstances required it. Radical MLA David Gaunson dismissed him as nothing more than a ‘puppet’, ‘the poodle dog of a newspaper proprietor’. Syme was the catalyst for the start of Deakin’s political career in 1879-80. After two interesting false starts, Deakin was finally elected in July 1880, during the same year that a clairvoyant predicted he would soon embark on a life-changing journey to London to participate in a ‘grand tribunal’. Deakin did not forget what he described as ‘extraordinary information’, and in 1887 he represented Victoria at the Colonial Conference in London.

(03) 9663 5259 rsv.org.au December Events Climate Extremes: Present and Future Thursday, 12th December from 6:30pm Climate extremes are events such as heatwaves, extreme rainfall, cyclones and drought that affect humans, our natural environment and multiple socio-economic systems. The evidence is now unambiguous that some climate extremes are responding to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, yet how some other extremes are responding is proving more complex. Join Professor Andy Pitman to explore the evidence for how and why climate extremes are changing, and what we can anticipate about how they will change in the future. The limits to our current capability and how climate science is trying to address those limits via new approaches to modelling will be discussed. About the speaker: Professor Andy Pitman AO is a Professor in climate science at the University of New South Wales. He is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEx), which brings together five Australian universities (including Monash University and the University of Melbourne) and a suite of international partner organisations to understand the behaviour of climate extremes and how they directly affect Australian natural and economic systems.

  • Our Chemical Cultural Heritage Masson and Rivett (1858–1961) PETRONELLA NEL
    Our chemical cultural heritage Masson and Rivett (1858–1961) PETRONELLA NEL A new phase for chemistry at the University of Melbourne began in 1886, featuring David Masson and Albert Rivett, who also had instrumental roles in the birth of CSIRO. Organisation (CSIRO). Masson supported Antarctic research for 25 years, beginning with Douglas Mawson’s expedition of 1911. Born and educated in England at the University of Edinburgh, he was a noted lecturer and researcher. After the death of Kirkland in 1885, chemistry became part of the science degree, along with the appointment of Masson as professor in 1886. His research work included the theory of solutions, and the periodic classi8cation of the elements. Much of his research was done in collaboration with talented students such as David Rivett and his own son Irvine Masson. Masson was knighted in 1923. He is commemorated by the Masson Theatre and Masson Road at the University of Melbourne, a mountain range and island in Antarctica, a portrait painting by William McInnes in the foyer of the School of Chem- istry, the Masson lectureship from the Australian National Research Council, and the Masson Memo- Figure 1.

  • Reap the Benefits of the Successful Striv¬
    * i i i Foreword [ HIS BOOKLET, describing the growth and development of the T country districts of Victoria, laimamiamiait » « t t i M t i purpose. > » * has . • • • a double It is •4 * * m B* V * •«•liMWM ‘ designed to tell the story— of necessity briefly—of one of the eight great districts into which Vic¬ toria is divided. It is also designed to remind a new generation of the great and dominant part played in this story by UThe Age” throughout the 75 years of its far-sighted influence on public life. The pressure of to-day sometimes causes us to forget the debt due to yesterday. We i reap the benefits of the successful striv¬ ing and initiative of a great organ of public opinion, but forget the principles of policy upon which that striving and initiative are grounded. The supreme service rendered by “The Age” is comprehended in the twin policies of “Unlocking the Lands for the People and “Protection.” Each arose out of the 1 historic necessities of the State after the Gold Rush had ended. But each was based upon a reasoned conception of State¬ craft which aimed at a State consisting of hundreds of thousands of families working on farms and in factories, masters of their i own home market, owning on easy terms their own freeholds, protected by a tariff from the unfair competition of oversea competitors, and possessing such a wide franchise, and so many representative in¬ stitutions, as to be really a Free Democ¬ racy within the British Empire. The fight for these policies of “The Age” was long and sometimes bitter, but in the result splendidly successful.

  • The Making of Australian Federation: an Analysis of the Australasian Convention Debates, 1891, 1897-1898
    The Making of Australian Federation: An Analysis of The Australasian Convention Debates, 1891, 1897-1898 By Eli Kem Senior Seminar: Hst 499 Professor Bau-Hwa Hsieh June 15, 2007 Readers Professor Narasignha Sil Professor David Doellinger Copyright Eli Kem 2007 I The English constitution played a pivotal role in the shaping of the Australian constitution. This paper seeks to demonstrate the validity of this claim through an analysis of the debates in the Australian colonies of 1891-1898 and through emphasizing inter alia the role payed by one of the delegates Alfred Deakin. The 1890 Australasian Conference, held in Melbourne, had been instigated by a conference in England in 1887 where all the colonies of Britain met. The 1890 conference represented the British colonies in the region of Southeast Asia. Seven delegates from each of the seven colonies in the region met, and forced the question of unification of the colonies. Independence from Britain was not on their mind, only uniting to have one common voice and an equal stake within the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom. At the conference, the delegates initiated a discussion for the path to unification that would continue until 1901. The colonies had written a constitution in 1891, and debates took place in 1891, 1897, and 1898 with the lapse in debate due to an economic depression. By 1901 the colonies had agreed on a constitution and it was ratified by an act of Parliament in Britain, which allowed the five colonies on Australia and Tasmania to unify. Essentially, the debate centered on the distribution and balance of power among the states.

  • The Foundation of the Sydney School of Coordination Chemistry
    Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, vol. 133, pp. 45-60, 2000 45 ISSN 0035-9173/00/010045-16 $4.00/1 The Foundation of the Sydney School of Coordination Chemistry ANTHONY THOMAS BAKER ABSTRACT. The so-called 'Sydney School of Coordination Chemistry' has had an immense, even definitive, influence on Australian inorganic chemistry. Australian coordination chemists have been at the forefront of developments in the area and the international influence of many of the key figures (eg. Dwyer and Nyholm) has been widely acknowledged. The founders of the 'School' were E.E. Turner, an Englishman who briefly held an 1 1 9- 1 appointment at the University of Sydney ( 9 92 1 ) and George Joseph Burrows, who after Turner's return to England influenced colleagues and research students toward careers in coordination chemistry. The scientific backgrounds of the founders and the state of inorganic chemistry at the time of foundation have been considered in detail. World War I significantly changed university education and the attitude of governments to scientific research. The timing of these influences ensured that the new foundation would become firmly established. INTRODUCTION It is generally agreed that the first research in coordination chemistry in Australia was carried out at the University of Melbourne (Baker & Livingstone, 1985; Mellor, 1976). The legendary professor of chemistry, David Orme Masson and Bertram Dillon Steele, later to be professor of chemistry at the University of Queensland, demonstrated that copper was present as a cupritartrate anion in Fehling's solution (Masson & Steele, 1899). This work was revisited by Packer and Wark at Masson's suggestion some twenty years later (Packer & Wark, 1921).
