This committee was appointed by the Commonwealth Government in December, 1956, with Sir Keith Murray, chairman of the University Grants Committee in the United Kingdom, as chairman, to inquire into and report upon the needs of Australian university education. While the committee was in Victoria, the Government obtained its special recommendations upon the early establishment of a second university in the State. The new seat of learning bears the name of Sir John Monash, a Victorian of great distinction, remarkable for the range of his interests and the versatility of his intellectual powers. An engineer by profession he won fame as the commander of the Australian Army Corps in the first world war, and as chairman of the State Electricity Commission from 1921 to 1931 he inspired and directed the scheme for the develop­ ment of electric power and fuel produc,tion from the brown coal deposits at Yallourn upon which the whole State now so largely depends for supplies. In these and many other fields he made a notable contribu­ tion to the life of Victoria and of Australia. In June, 1958, an Interim Council, appointed under the transitory provisions of the Monash University Act 1958 and charged with the duty of taking "all such steps as may be necessary in order that the Council of the University may be duly constituted upon the appointed day", held its first meeting, under the chairmanship of Mr. (later Sir) Robert Blackwood. The site of 250 acres llit Clayton was acquired and with the advice of architects a master plan for its development was adopted. The Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, and the first Professor took up duty early in 1960. Rapid progress with the buildings and the appointment of additional staff leading to the development of the teaching pro­ gramme enabled the opening of the University in its permanent quarters by the Premier of Victoria on March 11, 1961. This was three years earlier than originally envisaged. Teaching began with an enrolment of 363 undergraduates and graduates in the faculties of Arts, Economics and Politics, Engineering, Medicine, and Science. An account of the planning and development of the University is to be found in the three reports reproduced as appendices in this volume. The Interim Council, having discharged its duty, was replaced by the permanent Council on July 3, 1961, with Sir Robert Blackwood as Chancellor. Enrolments rose to 798 in 1962, 1,598 in 1963, and to 9 10 MONASH UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 2,970 in 1964. It is hoped to house as many full-1ime students as pos­ sible in halls of residence, the first of which was opened in 1962. A faculty of law was established in 1964, when postgraduate studies in education were also introduced. The University offers the degrees of Bachelor, Master, Doctor of Philosophy, and higher Doctorates, and conferred its first Bachelor degrees at a ceremony held on April 8, 1964. The University's funds derive largely from the State and Common­ wealth Governments, and from student fees. The Commonwealth Government contributes equally with the State to the cost of buildings and major items of equipment, and in the ratio of 1: 1.85 for recurrent expenditure. Total capital expenditure on land, buildings, and services to the end of 1963 amounted to £9,440,000, while the annual recur­ rent income for 1961, 1962, and 1963 was £835,000, £934,000, and £1,834,000 respectively. For the 1964-66 triennium provision has been made for capital expenditure 'totalling £5,480,000. The annual recurrent income for each of these years is estimated at £2,668,000, £3,557,000, and £4,293,000 respectively, exclusive of grants for special research purposes from the Australian Universities Commission and other sources. The successful establishment of Monash University is due in no small measure to the assistance and co-operation of a great many institutions and individuals in Victoria, throughout Australia, in the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. This support is gratefully acknow­ ledged in this, the first Calendar of the University. COAT OF ARMS Granted November 20, 1963 The Coat of Arms of the University is described as follows: "Azure a Chevron Argent between in chief an open Book proper bound clasped and edged Or and a Sword environed by a Laurel Wreath Gold and in base a representation of the constellation of the Southern Cross also Argent." The devices on the shield arise as follows: the open book is commonly found on the shields of universities and learned societies and symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge, the stars of the Southern Cross are of course appropriate to our geographical posi­ tion, and the wreath and sword are a quotation from the shield of Sir John Monash. The motto "Ancora Imparo" is said to have been a saying of Michelangelo's and means "I am still learning". 11 PRINCIPAL DATES FOR 1964 JANUARY 1 Wednesday New Year's Day 2 Thursday University re-opens 3 Friday 4 Saturday 6 Monday 7 Tuesday 8 Wednesday 9 Thursday 10 Friday 11 Saturday 13 Monday 14 Tuesday 15 Wednesday 16 Thursday 17 Friday 18 Saturday 20 Monday 21 Tuesday 22 Wednesday 23 Thursday 24 Friday 25 Saturday 27 Monday Australia Day 28 Tuesday 29 Wednesday 30 Thursday 31 Friday Applications close for admission to Deakin Hall 12 PRINCIPAL DATES 13 FEBRUARY 1 Saturday 3 Monday Supplementary and special examinations commence 4 Tuesday 5 Wednesday 6 Thursday 7 Friday 8 Saturday 10 Monday Commencement of first term for Medicine IV students 11 Tuesday 12 Wednesday 13 Thursday 14 Friday 15 Saturday 17 Monday} Publication of results of supplementary and special 18 Tuesday examinations 19 Wednesday Union Board 20 Thursday Buildings Committee 21 Friday Committee of Deans 22 Saturday 24 Monday Steering Committee of Professorial Board 25 Tuesday Last day for re-enrolment of students who presented for supplementary or special examinations or whose academic standing
