His sister, Sarah Elizabeth Jackson, had died of consumption on 14 January 1923, aged thirty-two. Canning Jackson was writing to Dr Helen Mayo1, to whom he sent all the letters written by Elizabeth that he had been able to find. These letters were later deposited in the Rare Books and Special Collections section of the Barr Smith Library in the University of Adelaide, where I was able to read them, and get to know this ‘wonderful woman’.2 It was 2015 when I came upon some letters from Elizabeth among Dr Mayo’s papers in the State Library of South Australia. There were four long letters, one to her brother Canning, and three to Dr Mayo. When I first read them I was overcome by the thoughtfulness, the wit, the bubbling nonsense, the concern for young children, and the comments on different aspects of South Australian life. I had no idea that the writer was desperately ill, with only a few months to live. Investigation showed me that the main collection of her letters was in the Barr Smith Library and that they had never been published. I went to look at the collection and found it very sad that such fascinating letters, letters revealing an extraordinary personality, were not readily available to students and readers interested in the history of South Australia. Thinking that perhaps I could publish the letters myself, I set out to discover more about Elizabeth Jackson. I looked first for an obituary for this thirty-two-year-old, hoping to find one in a local paper. I was absolutely amazed to discover long obituaries in all the local papers and also in local journals. It was the sort of response one might expect nowadays to be given after the unexpected death of a local football hero or singing star. Although I had never heard of her, she was obviously a person of great importance in her own day. 1 Dr Helen Mayo O.B.E. (1878-1967) was a medical practitioner who established the organisation which grew into the Mothers’ and Babies’ Health Association. She also supported the Kindergarten Movement and was the first woman on a university council in Australia. These were a few of her many achievements. She had been Elizabeth Jackson’s physician and friend. 2 The letter from Canning can be found in Series 1 of the Sarah Elizabeth Jackson Papers, MSS 92-J142. I learnt much about Elizabeth from reading these obituaries. Her impact on her contemporaries can be understood by reading what they had to say about her immediately after her death. No better introduction to this young woman who contributed so much to South Australia can be found than in this article in The Woman’s Record3, 8 February 1923. The writer obviously knew her well and was greatly saddened by her death. On Sunday, January 14, Elizabeth Jackson, the acting honorary editor of ‘The Woman’s Record,’ died at Woodside. When readers know that all articles and letters signed S.E.J., ‘Simple Simon,’ and ‘Dorothy Cleishbotham’ were written by her4, they will realise more fully what a loss her death has been to this paper, and read with deeper interest the following more intimate description of her. To those who knew Elizabeth Jackson personally, any account of her life and work must seem bald and meagre, so rich, so many-sided was her personality. But those who only knew her through her writings will be glad to learn more of her life and to realise a little better her courage, her humour, and her sympathy. She was born at Ovingham on September 12th 1890, and was educated at various public schools, at the Methodist Ladies College, and the University of Adelaide, where she greatly distinguished herself, graduating B.A. in 1911, taking honours in Philosophy in 1913, and her M.A. degree in 1914. She won the Tinline Scholarship in English History in 1911, writing as a thesis the history of the State from 1850 to 1856, and cooperating with Miss Goyder (now Secretary of the Record Company) in correlating the letters of the State Government House up to 1856 with Despatches from England. She also won the David Murray Scholarship for a philosophical essay in 1914, and the John Lorenzo Young Scholarship for Economic Research in 1918. She was recognised as a leader by her fellow-students, and was a prominent worker and foundation member of the Women Graduates’ Club and similar bodies. From 1914 to the time of her death (January 14, 1923), she was tutor in philosophy at the University, and her work was very highly thought of by those in authority, though with characteristic modesty she described herself as ‘a mere splinter of the staff!’ But a University is a little world in itself, and those who are successful there do not invariably make their mark in the larger world outside. This Elizabeth Jackson did, teaching at the Methodist Ladies’ College, and then lecturing with great success for the Workers’ Educational Association, both in Broken Hill and in Adelaide, where the psychology class begun by her was signally successful, and deeply interesting to its members. She was chosen by the women’s societies of Adelaide to go to Sydney as their representative in connection with a proposed Australian paper for women, and though this did not come into being, she was one of the chief helpers in the 3 This article, entitled ‘In Memoriam’ and signed E.M.F., appeared on page 15 of The Woman’s Record, which was an Adelaide monthly journal which had formerly been known as The Red Cross Record. Elizabeth had been helping with it for a number of years. 4 Elizabeth also wrote many other pieces under her own full name.

This is not the first public anatomy exhibition to face claims of unethical body sourcing. German anatomist Gunther von Hagens, who invented the plastination technique, has toured his controversial yet popular Body Worlds for two decades. In 2004, he returned seven corpses to China after conceding they may have come from political prisoners. There are also accusations that von Hagens sourced corpses for display from the mentally ill and homeless in Russia, which von Hagens denies.

  • Institutions of the Dead: Law, Office and the Coroner
    INSTITUTIONS OF THE DEAD: LAW, OFFICE AND THE CORONER Marc Benjamin Trabsky ORCID Identifier: orcid.org/0000-0002-7123-8062 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This thesis writes a history of the institutional life of coronial law in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The office of coroner has occupied an important role in the common law since the twelfth century. Its status may have waned, its duties may have changed, yet its enduring concern with investigating the causes of death has preserved its vital role in the juridical governance of the dead. This thesis offers a historical account of the modalities by which coroners have occupied their offices and formed lawful relations with the dead in Australia. It does so by examining coronial law in terms of its technologies and its institutional formations. The chapters that follow explore a range of lawful technologies, including place-making, architecture, super visum corporis, manuals and files, each of which became attached to the conduct of the office of coroner in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The thesis thus offers an institutional history of the coroner by thinking through how technologies have attached the dead to coronial institutions, how coroners have performed their offices, and how they have assumed responsibilities for caring for the dead. - 1 - DECLARATION I make the following declarations: i. The thesis comprises only my original work towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ii. Due acknowledgement has been made in the text of this thesis to all other material used.
