  • Richard Parker
    Richard Parker This tribute has drawn on Anne Haycock’s eulogy from the Celebration of Richard’s life and the summary of his life from the 80th Birthday celebration in 2015. Richard also known as Dick by many of his tennis friends, died peacefully overnight on Monday 8 October 2018, aged 82. Dick was a long-time member having joined the Vets in the late seventies. As Dick said at the senior’s recognition of his 80th birthday “it’s not about what I’ve done for tennis, but rather what tennis has done for me!” But he spent a lifetime at it. Dick started playing tennis in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs when he was 14. He was captain of the Randwick Boys High School 1st Grade team. He played Badge in Sydney from 1960 to 1970. He came to Canberra in 1972 with wife Wendy and two of his three children. They joined the Reid Tennis Club and Dick soon became the Vice President, a position he was to hold for 15 years. Reid had few members in those days and Flora; the Parker’s dog had to make a quorum at some meetings. Dick played 1B pennant in Canberra for many years. The Parkers were inaugural members at Kippax Tennis Club. On retirement Dick organised a happy group of gents who have played there ever since during the week. Richard joined the Vets (or Seniors as they are called today) in the late seventies. He played his first Australian Teams Championships in Melbourne in 1981 in the mens 40’s team with Peter Purdy, Kurt Masur and George Scott.

  • Department of Tutorial Classes, Sydney University, 1919 to 1963 Darryl Dymock and Ann Kelly Griffith University
    24 Meeting diverse expectations Meeting diverse expectations: Department of Tutorial Classes, Sydney University, 1919 to 1963 Darryl Dymock and Ann Kelly Griffith University The University of Sydney has offered some form of organised adult education since the late 19th century. In 1914, that provision was formalised through the establishment of a Department of Tutorial Classes, the appointment of a Director, and a partnership with the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA). Right from that time, however, there was ambivalence and sometimes direct opposition to the role and sometimes to the existence of the department. As a result, successive directors of the department had to tread for extending the academy into the adult community, while also satisfying the demands of the WEA. This paper reviews the period of three directorships of the Department of Tutorial Classes, between 1919 and 1963, and argues that the liberal adult education approach adopted by the university from its earliest days was sustained over those 45 years mainly because ongoing disagreement within the university about the purpose of the department and the status of the director, as well as continuing external pressure from the WEA, ensured that the status quo prevailed, even when there were innovative adult education developments elsewhere, and opportunities for change presented themselves. Darryl Dymock and Ann Kelly 25 Introduction University adult education was introduced into Australia more than a century ago as a means of extending the knowledge and expertise of the academy to the general public, through means other than formal tertiary courses. All the sandstone universities and others such as adult education programs.

  • Australian Historians Networking, 1914–1973 Geoffrey Bolton1
    10 Australian Historians Networking, 1914–1973 Geoffrey Bolton1 TheOxford English Dictionary defines networking as ‘the action or process of making use of a network of people for the exchange of information, etc., or for professional or other advantage’.2 Although recently prominent in management theory, the art of networking has been practised over many centuries in many societies, but its role in the Australian academic community has been little explored. This essay represents a preliminary excursion into the field, raising questions that more systematic researchers may follow in time, and drawing unashamedly on the resources of the Australian Dictionary of Biography. Beginning on the eve of the First World War, the essay is bounded by the formation of the Australian Historical Association in 1973, at which date the profession provided itself with 1 This essay is a lightly edited version of the paper prepared by Geoffrey Bolton for the ‘Workshop on Biographies and Autobiographies of Historians’ held at The Australian National University in July 2015. Professor Bolton had intended to make further revisions, which included adding some analysis of the social origins of the Australian historians who participated in the networks he had defined. In all essential respects, however, we believe that the essay as presented here would have met with his approval, and we are very grateful to Carol Bolton for giving permission to make the modest editorial changes that we have incorporated. For biographical information and insights, see Stuart Macintyre, Lenore Layman and Jenny Gregory, eds, A Historian for all Seasons: Essays for Geoffrey Bolton (Melbourne: Monash University Publishing, 2017).

The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.
