    THE FOUNDATION OF THE MONASH LAW SCHOOL PETER BALMFORD* INTRODUCTION From 1853 to 1878, an Englishman named John Hughes Clayton practised as a solicitor in the City of Melbourne.' At the end of the working day, he was usually driven home by his coachman: a journey of about twelve miles to his property in a district known as "Old Dam~er".~In the course of time, the north-south road running past his property came to be called "Clayton's Road": the name was ultimately shortened to Clayton Road and from it derived the present name of the di~trict.~ Clayton had become a suburb of Melbourne long before 1958, when Mon- ash University was established by legislation of the Victorian Parliament.4 Nevertheless, the Interim Council of the new University was able to find there 250 acres of largely vacant land which it chose as the site on which to build.5 Sir John Monash (1865-1931), after whom the University was named, is celebrated as a soldier, as an engineer and as an administrator. He was a graduate of the University of Melbourne in Arts, Engineering and Law. He never practised as a barrister or solicitor, although, in the 1890s and the early years of the twentieth century, he appeared as an advocate in arbitrations on engineering disputes and frequently gave evidence as an expert witness in engineering and patent mattem6 This article gives an account of the foundation of the law school at Monash University, Clayton, in celebration of the twenty-five years of teaching which have now been completed.

  • The Ownership of Knowledge in Higher Education in Australia 1939-1996
    The Ownership of Knowledge in Higher Education in Australia 1939-1996 Hannah Forsyth Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sydney, 2012 Declaration of Originality This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or institute of higher learning. I affirm that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work. I certify to the best of my knowledge that all sources of reference have been acknowledged. ................................................... Hannah Forsyth 2 Abstract This thesis traces transformations in the history of higher education in twentieth- century Australia from the perspective of the ownership and regulation of knowledge. Using primarily archival sources from universities and government, I argue that after the Second World War, the university’s place in society and the economy was radically altered because of challenges to its authority over knowledge. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Australian government increased its interest in research. Among political and tertiary leaders, this led to questions about the role of research and higher education for society, resulting in uncertainties about the ongoing independence – and thus reliability – of university knowledge. A growing reliance on higher education to support government aims linked the growth of universities in Australia to nation-building and the government’s economic strategies. But in the 1960s and 1970s, a small but influential group of university staff and students resisted the connection of higher education in Australia to established goals and values, exposing the university’s vested interests in society and its role in legitimising and perpetuating social and economic injustices.

At one moment when xenophobic politics appeared to be taking hold in Queensland, he called a general meeting of students at the university in order to rally support for humane and humanist values. On that occasion he took a stand, not by a general affirmation of moral principles, but through a personal narrative of the friendships he had shared with students of diverse cultural backgrounds during his student days in Perth. Those cross-cultural friendships, he said, had changed his view of the world. Exposure and enrichment of that kind was in his view one of the key purposes of a university education. John Hay was born in Western Australia in 1942 and attended Perth Modern School. He studied literature at the University of Western Australia and went on to hold a research scholarship at Cambridge University. His Australian academic career was shaped throughout by a strong interest in institutional policy and practice.
