  • Heritage Leaflet 15
    North Sydney Heritage Leaflet 15 The Mighty Bears North Sydney was a foundation club of the New South Wales Rugby Football League, formed in 1908 in the wake of the successful 1907 tour by the New Zealand ‘All Blacks’. The history of the game in North Sydney is intertwined with the social history of the local area. Before they adopted the name ‘The Bears’, as part of a sponsorship deal with the Big Bear Supermarket in 1959, North Sydney’s players were called ‘The Shoremen’ - a name that reflected work and life on the north shore waterfront. During its century of football, North Sydney has participated at the highest levels of competition. But it has been a century of fluctuating fortunes. Norths won back-to-back Premierships in 1921 and 1922 but have never topped the First Grade table since. Nonetheless, fans and players are renowned for their loyalty. As North Sydney ‘great’ Herman Peters said in 1989 “Hoping for Norths to win another one has kept me going ... I've watched them all the years since 1922, and I want to be there on the day it happens ...” The Shoremen, 1908-1922 “Shake yourselves up and get going!”* The NSWRFL played a game derived from Rugby, a style of football created at the English public school of the same name. In England, working class players could not afford to play in club competitions ‘for free’ and so split from the amateur Rugby Union in 1895 to form the professional English Northern League. A similar situation developed in New South Wales where the NSWRFL adopted the rules of the new English code.

  • Friends of Music
    HARVARD UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Report to the FRIENDS OF MUSIC 2016-2017 1 Summer, 2017 Dear Friends of the Music Department, I am writing as I conclude my first year as Department’s chair, and am pleased to be able to report that we have accomplished quite a bit in the last twelve months. What first comes to my mind is our successful development of a new undergraduate music cur- riculum, which took several years and many wonderful ideas, debates, drafts, and research hours to create. We revamped the requirements for Harvard’s music concentration to be more flexible and responsive to what students need in the 21st century, and to better represent the department’s strengths. In addition, the Department accepted its first cohort of undergraduates to the Harvard/ Berklee dual degree program, and eleven students will begin the program this fall. In faculty news, there are both comings and goings. It was a bittersweet day in December when our colleague Tom Kelly gave the final lecture for his seminal “First Nights.” After 22 years of teaching the course and commissioning new works for each iteration, Kelly told the students assembled in Sanders Theatre, “I hope you do what you can to make music and important part of your world. I hope you do what you can to make music an important part of your life.” Tom will be on leave this fall, and officially retires from Harvard in December 2017. We will all miss his grace and wit in our halls. In news of appointments, it gives me great pleasure to announce four new faculty members: Braxton Shelley was appointed assistant professor and is already moving into his office in the music building.

  • Manly-Warringah Rugby League Football Club Limited Annual Report 2013 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT It is with great pride that I present this Annual Report 2013 to Football Club Members. In 2013, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles have once more enjoyed a level of success that is the envy of other clubs in the NRL competition. While many of the so-called experts did not predict the Sea Eagles to make the finals, let alone the Grand Final, Geoff Toovey, his entire coaching staff, recruitment team and of course the players, proved them all wrong. I congratulate them all for an outstanding achievement in 2013. The strong winning culture that has been the hallmark of the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles over many decades has been maintained and strengthened in 2013. Preserving and protecting this heritage is the central focus of the current Manly-Warringah Football Club Board. The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles has a proud tradition, with the local junior league being established in 1932. We have played at Brookvale Oval since the Club joined the competition in 1947, played in the same colours and with the same name. Although the Club has been a privatised entity for ten years, the Manly-Warringah Football Club and its members hold an important stake in the Club, that is, the preference share which governs where the team plays, its name, logo and colours. Under the current Board’s tenure this heritage and tradition has been fiercely protected on behalf of Football Club Members. And while there are times this puts us at odds with other powerful and vested interests and has earned us unfair media criticism, we make no apologies for standing up for these important things.
