Affiliated Colleges

AFFILIATED COLLEGES. The establishment of Affiliated Colleges is specially pro vided for in the Act of Incorporation, as will be perceived by a reference to the 8th clause of that measure. The Church of England was the first religious body to avail itself of the right thus accorded. A short account of the Anglican foundation, which bears the name of Trinity College, is here appended:— TRINITY COLLEGE.* In the year 1869 Bishop Perry (then Lord Bishop of Mel bourne), assisted by the late Professor Wilson and others, undertook the task of raising the funds required for the erec tion of College buildings. A subscription list was opened, and early in 1870 the buildings were commenced. Shortly afterwards, the Warden's house, which had been temporarily fitted up for the purpose, was opened for the reception of students. Thus Trinity College was established, and it remained for several years the only University College in Victoria. The Rev. G. W. Torrance, M.A. (now Mus. Doc), had been appointed Acting Head in February Term, 1872, and held office till the commencement of February Term, 1876, at which date he resigned, and the present Warden was appointed. From the first the progress of the College has been rapid and uninterrupted. Before the end of 1877 a con siderable increase in the accommodation required for students was found to be necessary, and new buildings were raised. Three years later the additional rooms thus provided were occupied, and the erection of another wing was resolved upon. Through the munificence of Mr. Joseph Clarke and other friends of the College, the Council was, early in the year 1882, placed in a position to begin the new structure. The existing buildings, in addition to apartments for the Warden, Tutors, and Students, contain a Chapel, Dining Hall (both of these temporary), Lecture Hall, Billiard Room, Libraries, a Student's Common-room, &c. The College, while maintaining its primary character as a place of residence and * The "Calendar of Trinity College," giving more complete information on all matters connected with the institution, can bo obtained from Mr. Oeorge Robertson, Little Collins street west, or from Mr. Samuel Mullen.

All the internal arrangements of the College are made with especial reference to the convenience of Students attending University Lectures. HOUSE REGULATIONS. 1.

No Student is allowed to reside in the College for a shorter period than one full term, unless he have paid his fees- for the whole term. 5. Resident Students must be present at either morning or evening prayer daily, unless specially excused by the Warden. 6. Under no circumstances is an undergraduate Student allowed to be out later than 12.15 a.m. on week days and II p.m. on Sundays. 7. No games shall be played in tbe College for money stakes. 8.

The College possesses a library of about 6,000 volumes, comprising many very rare and valuable works. There are TRINITY COLLEGE. 285 also a Billiard-room, a Reading-room supplied with the best English and Australian newspapers and serials, and an asphalt Lawn-Tennis Court, all being under the management of the Students themselves. GOVERNMENT. Trinity College, when incorporated and fully constituted, will be under the government of a Provost and twelve Fellows. The Provost will be elected by the Fellows. Six of the Fellowships will, as they become vacant, be filled by -election by the Provost and Fellows out of such of the Full Graduates as cither are or have been Scholars of the College, and the six other Fellowships will, as they become vacant, be filled by election by the Full Graduates and by contributors of £10 and upwards to the College. Prior to the appointment of the Provost the government is administered by a Council of seventeen, consisting of the Bishops of the Anglican Church holding Sees in Victoria, the Trustees, the Warden, five per sons elected by Members of the College, aud five by contri butors of £1 and upwards. One of each class of Elective Members of Council retires from office annually. Those first elected retire in the order of the number of votes obtained by them, so that those who obtained the smallest number of votes retire first, and after wards the Members retire in such manner that no Elective Member shall retain his seat for more than five years. Seats at the Council becoming vacant otherwise than by effluxion of time are filled up by the Council for the re mainder only of the period for which such seat was tenable. Retiring Councillors are capable of re-election. The Council selects persons to fill vacancies that may occur amongst the Trustees. Full Graduates of the University of Melbourne can be enrolled as Life Members of the College by payment of a sub scription of £5 5s. Members have the power of voting in the election of Members of the Council, and will hereafter have a similar power in the election of Fellows. Warden. ALEXANDER LEEPEB, M.A., LL.B. Vice- Warden.
