  • 12 Part 1 Residental Colleges of the University
    The Residential Colleges of the University 1997 The establishment of residential colleges was envisaged from the foundation of the University and their affiliation was expressly provided for in the original Act of Incorporation. The Government set aside sites for the purpose within the area generally reserved for the University. The first of the colleges, Trinity (an Anglican foundation of 1870), was opened in 1872. The first Warden of Trinity, Alexander Leeper, quickly built up a comprehensive system of college teaching. This was adopted by other colleges on their foundation, and remains a distinguishing feature of the Melbourne collegiate system. So too, do the large enrolment of non-resident students and the provision of significant college libraries, now supplemented by computer installations. The college tutorial system (in which International House and Medley Hall also participate) is in general supplementary to teaching offered by the University's faculties, and is organized in part on an intercollegiate basis. Formal links with the University on academic matters are maintained through a Joint Committee of the Academic Board and the Heads of Colleges, and under a Statute of the University (S5.1.2), "any teacher in an affiliated institution" may be appointed to membership of a faculty. Heads of colleges sit in rotation as co-opted members of the University Council, and play a considerable part in the committee work of the University. The other three colleges for which sites had been originally reserved were established as follows: Ormond (Presbyterian foundation, 1870), opened 1881; Queen's (Methodist foundation, 1887), opened 1888; Newman (Roman Catholic foundation, 1916), opened 1918.

  • Single Source – the Problem Solver by Geoffrey Smith, Strategic Director-Multi Media Development Roy Morgan Research July 2000
    . Roy Morgan Research Roy Morgan Research Pty. Ltd. A.B.N. 91 007 092 944 Quality System Certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001 : 94 Cert. No.6669 Single Source – The Problem Solver By Geoffrey Smith, Strategic Director-Multi Media Development Roy Morgan Research July 2000 Introduction Two recent articles in the American press have highlighted some of the problems that have been dogging advertisers for decades. In both cases, the problem is one of getting value out of research. An Advertising Age article1 states that by matching names in Nielsen’s TV diaries with names of new car buyers the authors discovered that the viewing habits of a number of new- car buying segments differ significantly from average household viewing habits. Deborah Anderson, director of Nielsen’s New Media Services, is attributed with the comments that car marketers are reaching too many non-buyers with their national broadcast TV buys and the auto marketers are basing those TV buys on viewer demographics. The thrust of the article is that if car makers were able to buy TV airtime based on car buying behaviour rather than simple demographics then a different program set would be chosen. The opportunity to save money or increase impact could be as much as 70% compared to a buy based on household viewing. Observation A small proportion of the population buys a new car in any year and there are dozens if not hundreds of make/model options to choose from. Because of this huge diversity of options it should be intuitive that at the model level of buying, chances are that most models are not bought by people that closely resemble the average TV viewer.

    . Roy Morgan Research The Roy Morgan Research Centre Pty. Limited A.C.N. 004 433 265 Quality System Certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001 : 94 Cert. No.6669 Ref: [x:\admin\exective\ltrml\presentn\symvan1.doc;31] Pragmatic Readership Measures for the Future Originally presented at Worldwide Readership Research Symposium, Vancouver 1997 by Michele Levine, Chief Executive, The Roy Morgan Research Centre Gary Morgan, Executive Chairman, The Roy Morgan Research Centre and Peter Grant, Manager Research & Development, The Roy Morgan Research Centre Revised October 1997 1. SYNOPSIS This research was undertaken with a very pragmatic aim - to develop a means of collecting data to enable both “recent-reading” figures (comparable with recent-reading currency) and surrogate “through-the-book” figures (inflation due to telescoping being reduced and the figure approximating what would be achieved using “through-the-book”) to be collected from the same survey. The benchmark for surrogate “through-the-book” estimates was the Roy Morgan Readership Survey methodology, i.e. for monthly magazines “through-the-book” and colour front cover recognition, and for weekly magazines “first-time reading” in the last 7 days. The research did indeed demonstrate that it is possible to achieve either “recent-reading” or surrogate “through-the-book” estimates, or both, in a cost effective manner. However, in the tradition of all good research, the study also held some surprises and raised questions which the researchers had not anticipated. First, the results showed that for weekly magazines the “recent-reading” question gave higher figures than those achieved using “first-time reading” (i.e. the benchmark surrogate “through- the-book”).
