AROUND THE WORLD 

IN SEVENTY DAYS 

By the Warden, Dr. Evan 

L. Burge. 

The idea of a Trinity Dinner 

in London had been in the air 

for some time and had the 

enthusiastic support of Tony 

Buzzard ('60), the energetic 

Secretary of the Union of the 

Heur-de-Lys. Mark Johnson 

('58), who was chosen to 

organize it, had been in the 

news for some months as the 

man about to establish 

Australia's newest bank. The 

College Council decided the 

Warden should attend, a date 

of 7th November 1980 at 

Boodles was set, and Boyd 

Munro ('61) generously made 

a comfortable company house 

in Fulham available as a 

London base. 

It seemed a long and 

expensive way to go just for a 

Dinner, even if that Dinner 

was destined to be a great 

success. A period abroad 

studying Collegiate accomodation 

seemed a good idea, 

with special reference to 

financial support in hard, 

inflationary times. And so I 

decided to visit the other 

Trinity Colleges around the 

world on my way to Dinner, to 

make contact with as many of 

our own Trinity members as I 

could, and to do one or two 

useful things on the side — 

such as taking the advice of 

Norman Canyon ('57) to visit 

the Alumni Office at the 

Harvard School of Business 

Administration. 

There are Trinity Colleges 

in Melbourne, Toronto, 

Hartford (Connecticut), 

Dublin, Oxford and Cambridge. 

One day, I hope, we'll 

display the six coats-of-arms in 

a window over the high table in 

Hall along the lines of a 

splendid heraldic window I 

saw in Trinity College, 

Toronto. In every Trinity 

College I found myself 

welcomed as an honoured 

guest, overwhelmed with hospitality, 

and put in touch with 

lively and stimulating people. I 

came away from each of them 

enlightened in some way, 

feeling both admiration and 

affection. We all have much in 

common, as members of a 

world-wide family. 

As well as to the five major 

Trinity Colleges, my travels 

took me, after two restful days 

in Hawaii, to Los Angeles, 

Vancouver, Toronto, Baltimore, 

New York, Hartford, 

Boston, Dublin, London, 

Oxford, Cambridge, Lincoln, 

York, Durham, St. Andrews, 

Paris, Rome, Jerusalem, 

Manila, and back to Melbourne. 

Twenty major centres is a 

lot to cover in seventy days, 

and yet I found it far more 

stimulating than wearying. 

Here, in brief, is what I did in 

each place. 

LOS ANGELES. Peter 

Barbour ('47) ending his time 

as the Australian Consul- 

General in Los Angeles, 

generously gave a day to 

showing me the city, including 

a memorable lunch at 

Adriano's, a delightful Italian 

restaurant in the suburbs, and 

an eye-opening visit to a huge 

student residence at ULCA. I 

left with ideas of how, in time, 

we could elevate the beds in 

the small but tall rooms of 

Clarke to give more free floor 

space. 

VANCOUVER This was a 

Sunday. I saw my first woman 

priest celebrate the Holy 

Communion in the Cathedral. 

(It seemed just as natural and 

inevitable as having women 

students in Trinity, including 

four women theologs to date 

Then I made a bus tour of this 

beautiful city's glorious parks, 

finishing with a visit to several 

student residences at the 

University of British Columbia. 

My only known Trinity 

member here, David Hornsby 

('65) of the Mineral Engineering 

Department, could not be 

found in the local phone-book. 

TORONTO. Trinity 

College, . Toronto is a most 

impressive place with a soaring 

Gilbert Scott Chapel where I 

attended Wednesday choral 

evensong, very like our own in 

Melbourne. Among other 

things, I learned how computers 

can be used to teach 

Greek, how useful library 

space can be created in 

basements (? under Behan), 

and above all how to develop a 

first-rate Alumni and Friends 

Association and Development 

Office. Philip (`Geordie) 

Wilson ('50) was unfortunately 

away in Boston on 

business so we could not relive 

his famous leap from a window 

in Behan. Nor could I find Dr. 

James Oldham ('62) by 

telephone. I did, however, 

have a most enjoyable lunch 

with Penelope Sanderson, 

Robert Sanderson's ('45) 

daughter who is pursuing a 

post-graduate work in psychology. 

Among other worthwhile 

things, I noticed a 

`Rhodes Room' magnificently 

furnished by a graduate in 

honour of past and future 

Trinity College Rhodes 

Scholars. 

The Warden, Dr. Evan Burge

BALTIMORE. My visit to 

Baltimore was mainly to see 

old friends, but I also managed 

a thought-provoking visit to 

Goucher College which led to 

my reflecting and reading a 

good deal on the importance of 

the humanities in modem education. 

NEW YORK. I was fortunate 

to be invited to stay with 

Elizabeth Reid, a friend from 

Canberra days, a notable Australian 

who seems valued more 

abroad than at home —much 

to our loss. New York is a 

.place which I find irresistibly 

exciting — and part of the 

excitement this time was 

catching up with Bill Cowan 

('63) now a top management 

consultant, Tony Kerr ('60) 

who conducted me on a 

fascinating tour of a laboratory 

involved in the search for 

organic molecules in outer 

space, and Michael Coultas 

('50), Australian Trade 

Commissioner in New York, 

who introduced me to the 

grandeur of the Harvard Club. 

I also spent an afternoon at the 

General Theological Seminary 

in New York, where I found 

both Bishop Max Thomas 

•(now on our College Council) 

and John Gaden ('57) the 

Director of our Theological 

School, fondly remembered. 

One of the purposes of my visit 

was to prepare the way for Dr. 

Gaden's study leave in a year's 

time. 

HARTFORD. It was one of 

our Fellows, Sir Joseph 

Burke, who rightly told me I 

must be sure to visit Trinity 

College, Hartford. I was 

fortunate enough to be there 

for the New England autumn 

foliage. It is a place for which I 

conceived an immediate 

affection. The atmosphere is 

very like our own, helped, no 

doubt, by a long Gothic 

building not unlike Bishops'. 

Here I was treated not only to 

the warmest hospitality but 

also to entertaining and 

intellectual discussion. I came 

away fortified in my resolve to 

maintain my commitment to 

the ideals of a true University 

education — the honest ongoing 

search for truth; the 

importance of critical discussion; 

and the recognition of 

humane and civilized values as 

worthy of a struggle to 

proclaim acid protect. 

BOSTON. I came to Boston 

for two reasons: to renew 

contact with Dr. George 

Hunter at the Episcopal 

Divinity School and learn 

more about practical "field 

education" in theological 

training, and also to investigate 

fund-raising at the Harvard 

Business School across the 

river. Both aims were fully and 

enjoyably achieved. Should 

Trinity launch into a fullfledged 

program of quinquennial 

reunions on the Harvard 

model? Unfortunately, I could 

not track down a Trinity man, 

Bob Johanssen ('70) now 

doing an M.B.A. at Harvard. 

Our College records need to 

include telephone numbers, 

and not only for Melbourne! 

DUBLIN. With two of the 

original five Trustees of our 

College site being graduates of 

Trinity College Dublin, as well 

as the first acting Principal 

(Dr. G. W. Torrance), the first 

Heraldic Window in the Dining Hall, Trinity College, Toronto. It 

includes the coats-of--arms of other Trinity Colleges, but not our own. 

Warden (Dr. A. Leeper), and 

the first full-time Bursar (John 

Wilson), I was particularly 

looking forward to my stay in 

Dublin. I was not disappointed, 

even if it rained most of 

the time. The Provost, Professor 

F. S. Lyons, showed me 

through the elegant Provost's 

Lodge on the eve of his 

departure for Australia — where 

he spent a night in Bishops' 

and enjoyed a lunch in our 

Senior Common Room. Geoffrey 

Leeper ('21), son of the 

first Warden, was among the 

guests. 

Meanwhile, I was taking the 

opportunity to discuss policies 

in Dublin with the Dean of 

Students, the Student Housing 

Office, and the Development 

Officer. A special pleasure was 

the opportunity to spend time 

with Dr. Davis McCaughey, 

the recently retired Master of 

The magnificent Chapel in 

Trinity College, Toronto. 

The famous 'Long Room' in 

the Library of Trinity College, 

Dublin, where the Book of 

Kells is displayed. 

Ormond, who was spending a 

term as visiting Professor in 

Biblical Studies. Here, as in 

other Trinity Colleges, I 

enjoyed choral evensong. I 

made a pilgrimage to the 

famous library to see the Book 

of Kells. And I attended 

Commons, as formal dinner in 

Hall is called, where the long 

Latin grace is followed by a 

glass of Guinness. 

LONDON. Boyd Munro 

('61) provided me not only 

with convenient lodgings, but 

with a notable Japanese 

dinner. As a final touch, he 

drove me a few nights later in a 

Rolls Royce with his partner to 

Boodles for the Trinity Dinner. 

The elegance of my mode of 

arrival was equalled by the 

dinner following, of which an 

account is printed elsewhere. 

Thanks to Boyd, I could leave 

my ever-increasing luggage in 

London and set off for other 

places in Britain with the help 

of a Britrail pass. 

ST. ANDREWS. Perhaps it 

was a waste that I came as a 

non-golfer to visit friends in 

this home of golf on the 

Scottish east coast. For me, it 

was an excellent opportunity 

to visit a distinguished ancient 

University, several University 

Colleges and the University 

Development Office. I was 

also invited to inspect a 

modern venture in economical 

College catering. This is a 

large central "cook-freeze" 

plant which provides food of 

high quality at the lowest 

possible cost for almost all the 

Colleges in St. Andrews. I 

have no doubt that this has 

important implications for 

Trinity and the other 

Melbourne Colleges, especially 

for week-end meals. 

YORK. My education took 

a new turn when I travelled 

south on a Scottish football 

train returning from Aberdeen. 

Even after the wildest sporting 

dinner, Trinity has (fortunately!) 

nothing on this. In York, 

I visited the former President 

of Trinity College, Oxford, 

Professor A.G. Ogston and his 

wife, Elizabeth, who is a 

devoted godmother to one of 

my children. `Sandy' Ogston 

visited Trinity (Melbourne) 

two years ago, and readily took 

the necessary steps to ensure 

that my coming visit to Oxford 

bore maximum fruit. 

DURHAM. As in New 

York, I was concerned here 

with theological education and 

preparing for Dr. John 

Gaden's study leave next year. 

It was interesting to stay in St. 

Chad's College, still all-male, 

and rather like what I imagine 

Trinity was fifteen years ago. 

Peter Johnson ('59) was 

Chaplain here until recently 

when he moved to Canterbury. 

He is remembered affectionately 

by the students — so 

much so that he figured in no 

fewer than three items in the St. 

Chad's College Revue, an 

innocent night of undergraduate 

humour. 

OXFORD. The rivalry 

between Trinity College, 

Oxford, and my own College, 

Balliol, next door is ancient 

and notorious. It was interesting 

(and moving) to look out of 

my window in Trinity across to 

the Balliol Chapel (designed 

by Butterfield, like St. Paul's 

Cathederal, Melbourne) where 

Barbara and I were married 

twentytwo years ago. As usual, 

I sought interviews with the 

President of the College and 

various College Officers, and 

collected piles of College 

literature. My most abiding 

memory is of the splendour of 

dining on high table, the 

sumptuous dessert course 

which followed in another 

room, and the conversation 

later over coffee. Here I found 

myself next to a distinguished 

Fellow of Trinity (Oxford), the 

historian and philosopher of 

science, Alistair Crombie 

('35). He claims to have 

masterminded the blocking of 

the Sydney Road in a fog long 

ago. Perhaps Randall Deasey 

('35) would dispute the claim. 

In Oxford, besides Trinity 

and Balliol, I visited two other 

Colleges, much to my pleasure

The Great Gate of Trinity College, Cambridge, with its statue of the Founder, Henry VIII. 

and profit. In Magdalen a 

considerable Trinity community 

is led by John Feltham 

('50). The Secretary of the 

Middle Common Room is 

Charles Sampford ('71) and 

the post-graduate students 

include Peter Robinson ('75) 

and Elsdon Storey ('73). 

John Glover ('73) was not 

there since he was recovering 

from a car accident in which 

he was involved during an 

American trip. He has subsequently 

returned to Melbourne 

is now one of our nonresident 

law tutors, and will 

return to Oxford in due course. 

For one night, I was the 

guest of John Shepherd ('60) 

and his wife, Joy. John has 

moved from Cambridge to 

complete a doctorate in music 

and theology while Chaplain in 

Christ Church. 

CAMBRIDGE. Trinity 

College, Cambridge, the 

College of our Founder, 

Bishop Charles Perry as well 

as of our own recent President, 

Sir Frank Woods is the most 

ancient and splendid of us all. 

It was a great privilege for me 

to preach in the Chapel there 

on Remembrance Sunday. I 

have the warmest and most 

affectionate memories of the 

Master and his wife (Sir Alan 

and Lady Hodgkin) the two 

College Chaplains, and the 

Library Tutor, who wrote a 

fine Latin citation for our 

centenary in 1972. Next year, 

John Adamson ('77) will 

probably continue his doctoral 

studies here, after beginning in 

London. 

Nearby in Pembroke, I 

found Rupert Myer ('76). 

With him and John Reeve, son 

of Laurie Reeve ('47) I 

attended a beautifully sung 

evensong at King's. 

LINCOLN. My friend Dr. 

John Nurser, formerïy Warden 

of St. Mark's Library in 

Canberra, is now Chancellor 

of Lincoln and Titular Head of 

the Theological College. On 

the staff is Robert Gribben, 

until recently Chaplain in 

Ormond. As well as renewing 

friendships, I was able to learn 

a good deal about theological 

education here. 

PARIS. Two days in Paris 

is not enough!! I managed a 

visit to the Centre Georges 

Pompidou but not to the 

Louvre, to Notre Dame but 

not to Chartres. I tramped up 

hundreds of stairs vainly 

searching for Simon Foote 

('77) and Penelope Hueston, 

former Trinity non-resident 

tuto and daughter of John 

Hueston ('47). I did, however, 

find our non-resident tutor in 

French and History Kirsten 

McFadden and with her 

explored several of the 

Colleges and Student Residences 

of the Cite Universitaire. 

My generous host in 

Paris, Dr. Daniel Clement, is a 

friend of our Dean (Dr. Bryan 

Deschamp). He took me on a 

delightful tour of the Petit 

Trianon and Marie Antoinette's 

rustic village at 

Versailles. 

ROME. There is a Trinity 

College listed in the Rome 

telephone directory. It is 

located in part of a convent on 

the Palatine Hill and is the 

Italian campus of Trinity 

College Hartford. The hospitality 

of its Director 

(Michael Campo) and his wife 

is no less warm and generous 

than I had experienced a 

month earlier in Connecticut. 

It was a short but memorable 

stay, which included an almost 

mandatory visit to St. Peter's, 

some charming walks in 

historic parts of the city, and 

two happy meals in Roman 

trattorie. 

JERUSALEM. My host 

in Jerusalem was Brother 

Gilbert Sinden S.S.M. now 

lecturer at St. George's 

College there, with whom I 

was deeply involved some 

years ago in the writing of 

An Australian Prayer Book. 

Gilbert is an indefatigable 

guide with seemingly 

endless friends in the many 

diverse Christian groups of 

Jerusalem, as well as in the 

Jewish community. At his 

table I found myself sitting 

with the First Secretary from 

the Australian Embassy, as 

well as the Time-Life correspondent 

in Israel, and the 

lively eighty-year-old daughter 

of Eleazer Ben Yehuda, the 

man who single-handed re- 

established Hebrew as the 

spoken language of the 

Israelis. Unfortunately I did 

not realize at the time that 

David Goss ('52) is currently 

Australian Ambassador in Tel 

Aviv. As well as exploring 

Jerusalem I joined excursions 

to Galilee and Bethlehem. I 

came as a tourist, I stayed as a 

pilgrim. For a Christian and a 

lecturer in Biblical Studies 

there can be few things as 

inspiring as a pilgrimage to the 

Holy Land. The political 

tensions of the country and the 

tawdry commercialism of some 

of the shrines are as nothing 

compared to the ancient 

beauty of the land in which, 

above all other, man and God 

have met. 

MANILA. I have a friend in 

the Asian Development Bank 

in Manila and thought a short 

break here would be a good 

idea before flying home. 

Accordingly, I had two 

relaxing days in a tropical 

paradise on the island of 

Mindoro. But I also managed 

visits to St. Andrew's 

Theological College (which 

stands next to Trinity College, 

Manila, a Liberal Arts College 

specializing in Nursing and 

General Studies and named 

from Trinity College Hartford), 

and to the remarkable 

Ecumenical Studies Centre at 

the Jesuit Ateneo in Quezon 

City. The Australian Ambassador 

Dick Woolcott ('46) 

was away looking after 

Australian Aid Programmes in 

the provinces while I was 

there, but I enjoyed a splendid 

meal of roast lamb and_ plum 

pudding at the home of 

Richard Gardner ('47) who 

was with Dick Woolcott in the 

1947 Trinity cricket team, 

coached by Manning Clark 

('34). Richard showed me 

some splendid photos of 

Trinity in 1906 which 

belonged to his late father, Dr. 

Mark Gardner ('04). He has 

now had these photos copied 

and donated the superb copies 

to the College. 

And so I returned to 

Melbourne in time for our own 

Service of Nine Lessons and 

Carols under the musical 

direction of Professor Peter 

Dennison. My time abroad 

has given me new inspiration, 

fresh ideas, and a deeper sense 

of who we are as members of 

Trinity College. I am deeply 

grateful to the College Council 

for enabling me to go, to my 

wife and family who cheerfully 

coped with my absence, to 

Bryan Deschamp who was a 

first-rate Acting Warden 

during this time, and to the 

innumerable friends and wellwishers 

of the College who 

supported this study tour with 

warmth and generosity. The 

benefits to the College promise 

to be considerable. 

Perhaps I may sum up with 

a heart-felt remark I sent to the 

Master of Trinity College 

Cambridge after I had 

reluctantly left there. It is a 

wonderful thing to drink at the 

springs of our origin, and to 

find them brimming with 

champagne.

TRINITY'S FINANCES — 

Overview and Prospect 

"We will .spend the 4,000 

pounds, and any more that we 

can get; but when we have 

exhausted the funds in hand, 

there the walls will stop, 

unless the means are provided 

for carrying them to completion. 

I take this opportunity of 

adding to my congratulations 

a word — should I say, of 

fear? I must confess I have 

some degree of fear, lest after 

we have begun, we come to a 

standstill; and I should feel 

shame, not for myself but for 

the Church of which am 

bishop, if that fear were to be 

realised. But I trust that you 

all will exert yourselves to the 

utmost of your power to save 

us from the unpleasant necessity 

of having to leave the 

building half-finished." 

Bishop Perry at the 

laying of the College 

foundation stone, 

10th February, 1870. 

Trinity has always lived a 

hand-to-mouth existence, despite 

the efforts of all five 

Wardens to bring a measure of 

financial security. Dr. Alexander 

Leeper ran the College 

on a "farming" system, collecting 

the student fees and in 

turn being personally responsible 

for the domestic and 

academic arrangements. The 

patriotic depletion of the 

College in the First World 

War caused him and the 

College great financial hardship. 

Dr. John Behan made a 

concerted effort to build the 

College permanently in stone, 

backed by a substantial endowment 

for scholarships and 

the stipends of a Provost and 

Fellows. The magnificent 

Behan building is his lasting 

memorial, together with the 

essential, but nevertheless insufficient, 

trust funds set up as 

a result of his untiring work. 

Mr. Ronald Cowan too saw 

clearly that the survival of 

Colleges in the long run 

depended on adequate independent 

funding, and in 

particular on endowments for 

maintenance and general purposes. 

Student fees could

extended the College to a more Dr. Evan L. Burge, on accepting 

the Wardenship, was 

economically viable size by 

building the Memorial warned by his predecessor that 

(`Jeopardy') and Cowan finance would be the biggest 

Buildings, but tragically died single problem facing the 

before his work, which depended 

on an intimate know- 

months' interregnum between 

College. During the six 

ledge of the Trinity graduates, fourth and fifth Wardens, 

could be consolidated. 

Dr. Robin Sharwood, the 

fourth Warden, inherited the 

older College buildings just at 

the stage when either renovation 

or rebuilding had 

become essential. He inspired 

an Appeal in 1967 which 

enabled the complete refurbishing 

of Clarke. Five years 

later came an Appeal to 

establish a Centenary Endowment 

Fund. By now the 

Universities Commission had 

been established by the Commonwealth 

Government, and it 

was ready to help Colleges 

with necessary capital works. 

As a result, Bishops' too was 

renovated in time for the 

advent of the fifth Warden, and 

the coming of women residents, 

in 1974. 

Largely because of the 

radical unrest of the late 

sixties, all Melbourne Colleges 

suffered a savage, but temporary, 

drop in demand for 

places in 1970 and 1971. 

Trinity was no exception. The 

result was that money for 

running expenses was short at 

the very time that the 

Universities Commission was 

making capital improvements 

possible. Mr. John W. Wilson 

was appointed as the College's 

first full-time Bursar to give 

continuing attention to this 

difficult problem. Among other 

things, Mr. Wilson and Dr. 

Sharwood instituted a comprehensive 

overhaul of the accounting 

system, negotiated 

realistic insurance cover, and 

actively promoted the College 

as a centre for conventions and 

conferences. When Dr. Sharwood 

laid down the Wardenship 

at the end of 1973, he was 

able to report to the Council 

that the finances of the College 

were in a generally healthy 

state. 

Already there were clouds 

on the horizon, but no-one 

Australia was hit by the 

highest rate of inflation the 

country had ever known. In 

addition, massive sums were 

added to domestic costs by 

granting equal pay for women. 

College employees received 

large flow-ons from awards 

made in the hotel industry; a 

bonus of 171% was added to 

annual holiday pay; and the 

cost of meat began to soar. 

Successive meetings of the 

Executive and Finance Committee 

anxiously contemplated 

the spectre of a huge deficit. 

The new Warden feared that 

the College was heading for 

financial shipwreck. Indeed, 

there was a widespread belief, 

shared by the Universities 

Commission, that many Colleges 

around Australia would 

succumb. Directions for 

winding up Colleges and 

handing them over to Universities 

for centralized administration 

as student residences 

were drawn up in 

Canberra and published in the 

1974 Report of the Universities 

Commission. 

In these unprecedented and 

perilous circumstances, the 

fifth Warden drastically curtailed 

the College's administrative, 

domestic, and ground 

staff, raised fees during the 

year, and instituted an era of 

student self-help. Students now 

made their own beds and 

undertook a variety of tasks 

from waiting on tables to 

gardening. The positions of 

Bursar and House Manager 

were united, and Mr. A. W. 

Todd who inherited the combined 

responsibility introduced 

a programme of drastic 

cost-cutting, especially in 

catering. At the same time, 

annual fee rises, always lower 

than the inflation rate, became 

inevitable. 

A great blow in 1975 was 

the loss of the annual six-week 

School of Business Administration 

held in Trinity for 

twenty-one years during the 

summer vacation. For a time, 

it seemed likely that the 

University would build a permanent 

centre for this and 

similar management conferences 

within the College. The 

plan, which appeared to be our 

financial salvation, came to 

nought when, instead, the 

Town House Motel was 

acquired for the purpose. The 

promised gain was turned into 

an irreparable loss, from which 

the College is still recovering. 

It is hard to know what 

might have happened if the tide 

of the late sixties had not 

turned, and the Warden was 

engulfed in an increasing flood 

of applications to enter the 

College. As early as 1976, it 

became possible to increase 

revenue by using the small 

bedrooms of Clarke as bedstudies 

for first-year students. 

The motive was economic, but 

there was unforeseen gain. 

Freshers and seniors now 

shared the same corridors, and 

the increase in numbers meant 

more frequent chances to meet 

and talk. 

It was not economics but 

response to demand that led to 

a similar move in 1979 to give 

Freshers the small Cowan 

bedrooms, smaller than those 

of Clarke. There have, of 

course, been economic advantages 

in this policy too, but 

it is not desirable to continue 

to use these cramped rooms in 

this manner any longer than 

necessary. When any additional 

accommodation is built, 

the aim must not be to increase 

the overall College size but to 

deploy space and facilities in a 

more humane way. 

For the past decade, the 

College has continued its 

traditional hand-to-mouth 

existence fairly successfully in 

a harsh inflationary climate, 

due to stringent economies and 

rising demand for places. The 

present Bursar, Mr. E. Paine, 

has developed the accounting 

system further and introduced 

modern computerized 

methods. There is, however, 

no longer any prospect of large 

capital sums, even on a 

matching basis, from governments. 

There are even threats 

of abolishing the per capita 

Commonwealth Grants which 

now provide about $200 p.a. 

for each student. 

The vision of the successive 

Wardens remains valid. The 

Collegiate life and style we 

have inherited deserves to be 

fostered. Looking after a 

College of the complexity of 

Trinity today leaves little time 

or energy for wardenical fundraising. 

The way ahead must 

surely be, as is already 

happening in the other Trinity 

Colleges around the world, to 

set up a Development Trust 

with its own executive officer 

to care for the on-going 

financial needs of the College. 

There is no shortage of 

enthusiasm and support for 

Trinity, but we need the 

resources to mobilise and 

sustain it. 

Ten years after the last 

Appeal it is not too soon to 

secure the future of a College 

which means so much to so 

many.

FLEUR-DE-LYS 

DINNER 1981 

The Annual Dinner of the 

Union of the Fleur-de-Lys will 

be held on Friday, May 1st, 

1981, at 8.00 p.m., in the 

College Dining Hall. An invitation 

to members of the 

College and their husbands or 

wives is enclosed with this 

Newsletter. The Secretary of 

the Union, Mr. Tony Buzzard, 

said recently to the Warden: 

"Please advise people to reply 

early. After the growing 

numbers in the past few years 

we may have to turn late 

applicants away." 

The usual brief Annual 

General Meeting of the Union, 

with the election of President, 

Secetary and Committee, will 

be held in the Junior Common 

Room shortly before the 

Dinner, during the pre-dinner 

drinks. 

THE LONDON DINNER 

The Fleur-de-Lys Dinner 

held at Boodles Club on 

Friday, 7th November 1980 

was an elegant and festive 

occasion attended by twentyseven 

people. Arrangements 

had been in the hands of Mark 

Johnson ('58) who then found 

himself caught up in the hectic 

round of negotiations necessary 

to establish a new 

Australian bank. On the night 

of the Dinner he was actually 

back . briefly in Sydney. 

Fortunately, his role as 

organizer was ably filled by 

David Emmerson ('59). 

As mentioned in his report 

elsewhere, the Warden arrived 

in Mayfair by Rolls Royce as 

befitted such a gathering. He, 

Boyd Munro, ('61) and his 

partner Sarah Key, were soon 

joined at pre-dinner drinks by 

people who had been in Trinity 

during the six years of the 

fifth Wardenship. These 

included Roderick Lyle ('74) 

who was completing 

a Master's Degree in London 

and is now back as a Resident 

Law Tutor in Trinity, Graham 

Pilkington ('74) and his 

partner Denise McInnes, Jane 

Clark ('77), John Adamson 

(17) and Rupert Myer ('76). 

The anteroom now filled 

rapidly. David Emmerson 

and his wife Alexandra came 

early, and reported that despite 

valiant efforts it was impossible 

to find a slide projector 

and screen at short notice. 

Perhaps such things were not 

appropriate for Boodles in any 

case. The Warden pocketed 

his box of slides and produced 

instead a set of five large 

recent colour photographs of 

Trinity to remind the gùests of 

the College and its present 

appearance. A contingent 

came from Magdalen College 

Oxford — Charles Sampford 

('71) with his wife Jenny, 

Elsdon Storey ('73) and Peter 

Robinson ('75). Bishop John 

McKie ('28) came down from 

Coventry, George Myers ('65) 

from Manchester Grammar 

Schopl, and Kevin Gallagher 

('55) with his daughter Deidre 

Vaizey from Swansea, where 

he is Senior Lecturer in 

Chemistry. 

As well as the wives, two 

members of Janet Clarke Hall 

came in their own right — 

Robyn Vines and Anne 

Skelley. Concert pianist 

Geoffrey Saba ('64) and his 

wife Delphine were there, as 

was the Chaplain to London 

University Peter Hughes 

('64). The party was completed 

by Glen Pike ('66), 

David Fenton ('62), and 

Michael Hamer ('69). 

Altogether, it was a lively and 

splendidly representative group 

of Trinity supporters. 

When the doors were 

opened to the room set for 

dinner, what a splendid sight it 

was. The room itself is large, 

beautifully proportioned and 

decorated in the classical style. 

A classicist might have noticed 

some influence of the House of 

the Vettii in Pompeii. A single 

long polished table with 

rounded ends was handsomely 

set with fine silver. Sounds of 

festive conviviality were soon 

echoing through the building as 

the party remembered Trinity 

incidents from the recent or 

more distant past and the 

Warden's photographs were 

passed around. 

The menu suited the 

occasion; Quail Egg Vol-au- 

Vent; Roast Rack of Lamb; 

and an unusual dessert, Creme 

Brulee. Possibly some fine 

Australian wines would have 

been the ideal accompaniment, 

but nobody wanted to disparage 

the Coeur des Lanciers 

and the Ch.de. Barbe CB 1976 

which Boodles provided. 

During the coffee and Old 

Master Tawny Port, the 

Warden spoke on recent news 

from the College, and the 

thoughts that had occurred to 

him while visiting other Trinity 

Colleges around the world. 

He recalled some famous 

practical jokes of the thirties, 

and then recounted some more 

recent examples of youthful 

exuberance, such as the note, 

ostensibly over his signature, 

sent to Freshers explaining 

that because of the copper 

water pipes only certain brands 

of soap and toothpaste were 

permitted. A perplexed Bursar 

found himself confronted by 

earnest students wanting 

permission to use the Colgate's 

given them by their anxious 

parents. 

The Warden concluded his 

address: 

"So we have a lively 

community, one that people 

are glad to belong to, one 

where they can be genuinely 

happy. To maintain it in its 

attractive but aging buildings is 

costly — in terms of money 

and effort. Why bother? The 

answer must be that the 

Collegiate ideal of University 

education is intrinsically 

valuable. Colleges exist 

primarily to enhance the 

quality of University education. 

The lecture and examination 

system of the Australian 

Universities is good in terms of 

passing on a body of known 

knowledge and theory. The 

individual tutorial system of 

Oxford and Cambridge is 

better at provoking individual 

thought and the questioning of 

one's own assumptions. My 

recent visit to Oxford and my 

old tutor Russell Meiggs, now 

in retirement, has reminded me 

of how much I owe to having 

my thoughts examined ruthlessly 

every week by a great 

and good man. We can 

certainly do more in the 

stimulation of our students by 

encouraging discussion in the 

manner of Socrates. 

It is, however, in a third way 

that the Melbourne Colleges 

make their own best contri- 

bution: the apprenticeship in 

learning. This is what our 

tutorial system is all about — 

not solving the students' 

problems for them, but 

showing them how to set about 

solving them for themselves, 

and doing this in the freedom 

of one-to-one consultation, or 

the fairly informal small group. 

Here ignorance can be 

revealed, or misunderstandings 

cleared up, without one's 

reputation being tarnished in 

the eyes of a future examiner. 

I have been in six Trinity 

Colleges in the past four weeks 

in Melbourne, Toronto, 

Hartford (Connecticut), 

Dublin, Oxford, Cambridge. In 

all of them I have felt at home, 

because the similarities are far 

greater than the differences. 

All have similar community 

rituals and customs-the formal 

meals with gowns, high table 

and a Senior Common Room, 

the chapel and choral evensong 

once or more each week, 

opportunities for sport, recreation, 

and discussion. Every 

one of them has good library. 

And every one of them faces 

the problem of maintaining a 

tradition of excellence when 

there is a growing gap between 

revenue from student fees and 

the needs for the maintenance 

and development of the 

College. 

This gap is met from two 

main sources: holding of 

conferences, which make our 

facilities available to the wider 

community as well as increasing 

our revenue, and the 

support of donors who value 

what Colleges stand for. 

Trinity College Toronto for 

instance receives from her 

alumni a third of a million 

dollars in donations every 

year. 

Like all the Trinities, we 

must soon appoint a Development 

Officer, and set about 

planning an Appeal for 1982. 

Tonight is not about money. 

That must, however, come in 

due course, because we must 

continue to cherish and build 

the inheritance we have 

received. Tonight is about 

building a sense of loyalty and 

affection for the College. We 

are not just dormitories or 

residences. We are a 

COMMUNITY and the 

community of Trinity College 

Melbourne exists not only in 

Parkville, but, as it has been a 

joy to discover, around the 

world. 

The provost of Trinity 

College Dublin, Professor 

Lyons, had lunch last Saturday 

in Trinity College Melbourne. 

I hope he enjoyed it as much 

as I enjoyed my visit to his 

older and greater University 

College. He is about to publish 

a book on W.B. Yeats, the 

Irish poet. You'll forgive me, 

then, for ending with two lines 

from Yeats, for they sum up 

something of what Trinity 

College Melbourne means to 

us all. 

Think where man's glory 

most begins and ends, 

And say, mì glory was I had 

such friends.'

K.B.E., D.D. Lambeth, M.A. 

Cantab., Hon. LL.D. Monash 

Sir Frank is a member of 

Trinity College, Cambridge, a 

former Archbishop of Melbourne, 

and the longest serving 

President of the Trinity 

College Council ex officio, 

1958-1977. From 1971 to 

1977 he was Primate of 

Australia. In spite of the 

enormous load of other commitments 

he regularly presided 

over College Council meetings 

giving attention to detail and 

the overall formation of 

College policy such as would 

have been worthy of a man 

able to give these things his 

undivided attention. Since his 

retirement he has maintained a 

special interest in the work of 

the Theological School. He 

has been a leader, not only in 

the Anglican Church but in the 

ecumenical movement, where 

he has inspired others through 

his generous and open personality, 

his deep spirituality, 

and his profound commitment 

to the cause of Christ. He 

holds Trinity in special affection. 

THE TRUTH WILL OUT: 

WHO MOVED THE 

STONE? 

Here is my account of the 

Behan Foundation Stone incident 

It is exactly as I wrote 

it at the time, except that I 

have condensed the part about 

the tutors' return which though 

it added greatly to the excitement 

then seems less important 

now. 

In explanation, the new 

building (Behan) blocked the 

other path to the hostel 

(J.C.H.), but at that stage it 

was possible to return to the 

college by approximately the 

same route by coming through 

the open northern end of the 

The Behan Building, where the foundation stone was once 

missing, in a sketch (on sale from the College) by David Cole ('73). 

cloister. There was then no 

connection between the Behan 

and Clarke cloisters. 

A big mound of earth had 

been heaped up in front of the 

cloister and covered with 

builders'lanks to form a 

platform for the ceremony. In 

fact this mound was eventually 

incorporated with the 

grassed slope along the whole 

length. The outer walls, and 

some of the inside walls of the 

ground floor were complete 

and the stone was in the first 

room to the right of Staircase 

A on the Sydney Road side, 

which had a ramshackle temporary 

door with a padlock. 

For the moment I have no 

further reminiscences to offer 

and unfortunately my diary 

goes no further back than 

1934. I think the events of 

1933 which led to the dissolution 

of the Fleur-de-Lys 

Club and the closure of the 

buttery would be worthy of a 

historian's research as they 

did make a great di fference to 

the nature and quality of 

college life. The strange selfimposed 

monasticism that 

prevailed then would seem incomprehensible 

in today's 

undergraduates, but after 

1933 something vital was 

suppressed that did not reappear 

in my time. Possibly 

our effort with the foundation 

stone was a gesture. 

The idea had hatched itself 

some days before, and after 

Hall on Friday, April 27th 

1934 we gathered in Parson's 

study in Upper Clarke. Peter 

Parsons, Jack Voss-Smith, 

Doug Leslie, Jack Millar, 

Dasher Hodge, John Stawell 

and myself. Somewhere about 

8.30 we went to investigate the 

new building, and found the 

door of the room where the 

stone was quite easy to break 

open. We had not seen the 

stone before and it seem tremendous. 

We recruited Jamie 

Newton to lend his strength 

and somehow it was manhandled 

through the door and 

placed on a two-wheeled 

trolley on the cloisers. There 

were still a lot of people about 

and in any case we didn't then 

know where we were going to 

hide it. So we went back to 

Clarke for talk and supper till 

about 12.30. Newton had gone 

to bed, but Checker Hughes 

had joined us and he and Voss- 

Smith acted as look-outs while 

the rest of us worked. We 

lifted four planks of the platform 

built for the ceremony 

next day and Jack Millar and I 

began to dig, the earth being 

put in bags which the others 

carried away and dumped 

behind Clarke. It was pretty 

cold and unpleasant working in 

stockinged feet and the earth 

was very hard. Digging took a 

long time and we wanted to be 

absolutely sure that the stone 

would fit in the hole. Finally it 

was finished (about 2.30) and 

we began cautiously to wheel 

the trolley along the cloisters. 

Just then Hodge and Leslie, 

who were emptying the last 

bag of earth came hurrying 

back to warn us that Alcock 

and O'Brien (tutors) were 

returning some women to the 

Hostel so we took cover, 

leaving the stone on its trolley 

in the middle of the cloisters. 

I was pressed into the angle 

of one of the pillars and had a 

nasty moment when they 

crossed the Clarke's end of the 

cloister, but they went into the 

Clarke's door .... , and we 

did too, but by way of lower 

Clarke II and so up to Parson's 

and Voss-Smith's study where 

we sat in the dark by the fire 

and wondered what to do. 

However, about half an hour 

later scouts reported O'Brien 

leaving and Alcock going to 

bed, so we stole forth again. 

We wheeled the thing into 

position and set it up beside 

the hole. Very carefully we 

lowered it in, and then by bad 

luck one end of the hole caved 

in under the weight, and one 

corner of the stone was left 

sticking up about four inches. 

We burrowed under it and 

jumped on it and finally got it 

down and covered it with a 

sack. Then we replaced the 

planks, swept the platform and 

stowed everything away 

leaving no trace, and went to 

bed. (I was then living in 

Vatican). 

Next morning at breakfast 

everyone was talking about it. 

Someone said the workmen 

had said that moving it would 

mean breaking it, and fragments 

had been found. The 

general idea was that it had 

been broken, and nobody knew 

where it was. Doug Leslie and 

I retired unobtrusively to the 

Anatomy School where gradually 

the troops assembled 

(except for Jack Voss-Smith 

who was still in bed) reporting 

that the Warden was frantic 

and was digging up the jumping 

pit and had ordered a new 

stone to be cut. He was said to 

have been coming from Chapel 

with Palfreyman (tutor) who 

jestingly suggested it might 

have been stolen, so they went 

to have a look. The Warden 

then became frantic, rushed to 

the Chapel, searched the 

incinerator, the new cellars, 

and the other college grounds. 

What we had to decide now 

was how to bring the affair to a 

satisfactory conclusion. We 

decided that we'd had our bit 

of fun, so Jock might now be 

allowed to have his. In the end 

we made a telephone call to 

the Lodge suggesting that he be 

told to look under his feet (i.e. 

under the platform) and when 

we returned to Trinity it was 

all over. 

The ceremony was a great 

success and a happy time was 

had by all, including the 

Warden and the conspirators. 

The "Star" that evening had a 

poster and heading "Trinity 

Foundation Stone Stolen", and 

all the papers reported it in 

good spirit. Next day the 

Warden put up a notice 

thanking all who had helped to 

make the ceremony a success, 

which one of us souvenired. It 

was amusing afterwards to 

listen to people's theories. 

I write this as a personal 

record of what will, I suppose, 

become a memory, a tradition, 

and then be forgotten. 

We are grateful to Dr. 

David C. Jackson ('32) for the 

vivid account above. Could 

anyone take up his suggestion 

and write about the closure of 

the Buttery? It would be good 

too, to hear about College 

Initiations — what happened, 

and how they were abolished?

NEW FELLOWS 

APPOINTED- 

The first Fellows of the 

College under the new. Constitution 

were appointed by the 

Council last November. The 

Constitution provides for a 

maximum of twenty Fellows to

Fellows must be people who 

have achieved distinction in 

academic, ecclesiastical, or 

public life and who have 

contributed (or who are 

believed likely to contribute) to 

the life and work of the 

College. It is proposed to hold 

a service for the Recognition of 

Fellows in the College Chapel 

at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 

May 6th 1981, followed by 

Dinner in Hall. 

Those appointed include the 

three men who had been 

Fellows under the old Constitution:

GEORGE CHARLTON 

TOOTELL 

Charlton Tootell, Honorary 

Treasurer of the College for 

twenty-one years under three 

Wardens, died suddenly on 

December 19, 1980. He was 

dedicated to the advancement 

of the profession of accountancy, 

the author of a number of 

papers on accounting matters, 

and President of the Institute 

of Chartered Accountants from 

1960 to 1962. As well as 

being Director of number of 

Public Companies, he found 

time to serve the Adult Deaf 

and Dumb Society of Victoria, 

of which he was Vice-President. 

When he resigned as 

Treasurer of Trinity College in 

1967, the Council's Minute of 

Appreciation inçluded the 

following: 

"The Council and Executive 

Officers of Trinity came to rely 

very heavily indeed on Mr. 

Tootell's wisdom and shrewd 

judgement, and the care and 

attention he devoted to the 

College's affairs were as extensive 

as they were effective. 

In the difficult period between 

the death of the third Warden 

and the assumption of office of 

the fourth, his contribution to 

maintaining the administration 

of the College was of decisive 

importance. His exemplary 

and almost single-handed 

management of the affairs of 

the Trinity College (Melbourne) 

Trusts Corporation 

deserves special commendation, 

but only as one excellence 

among many." 

He will be remembered as a 

modest and wise man, who 

won the respect and affection 

of all who came to know him. 

E.S. HUGHES CLUB — 

NEW RACING EIGHT 

After Trinity's successes in 

the intercollegiate rowing last 

year, a special dinner of the 

E.S. Hughes Club was held to 

raise funds for the purchase of 

a new eight. The old seconds' 

eight, the KB. Mason, had 

long since passed reitrement 

age, and has now been sold. 

The proceeds, together with 

money raised at the dinner and 

from subscriptions to the Club, 

have enabled the purchase of a 

magnificent new boat, the 

Arthur Godfrey. The former 

firsts' boat, the W. Balcombe 

Griffiths, is still in excellent 

shape, and both firsts and 

seconds crews have every 

chance in the coming race on 

Thursday, 19th March. 

The new boat was 

christened on the river bank 

late in February by Arthur 

Godfrey's wife, Pam. Arthur 

himself, with a notable record 

as an oarsman and coach, 

came with her from Queensland 

for the occasion. We hope 

to send him news of annual 

victories in the boat which 

bears his name.

We congratulate 

Harold Murray KNIGHT (1948). D.S.C., Knight Commander of 

the Order of the British Empire, for services to banking. 

Maynard HEDSTROM (1927). Suva, Knight Commander of the 

Order of the British Empire. 

Dr. Margaret BLACKWOOD (Fellow of the College). Dame 

Commander of the Order of the British Empire. 

The Rev. Dr. Peter Frederick CARNLEY (1962). Elected 

Archbishop of Perth. 

The Venerable Owen Douglas DOWLING (1959). Appointed 

Assistant Bishop of Canberra-Goulburn. 

We regret the deaths of the following members of the 

College: 

Charles Ellis DAVIES (1963) 

Alan Sutherland FINLAYSON (1928) 

Horace Arthur WIMPOLE (1928) 

Geoffrey Tremayne SAMBELL, Archbishop of Perth, 

Member of the College Council 1960-69.

The new Moorhouse Flats with landscaping in progress. The older 

buildings are the Vatican at the back and the Laundry on the 

right. 

A relaxed moment before a recent Council meeting: Bishop Grant, 

the Warden, Dr. Gaden, and Archbishop Dann share a joke 

outside the new Moorhouse Building. 

MOORHOUSE FLATS 

OPENED 

Bishop Moorhouse was both 

a generous benefactor of the 

College a century ago and the 

Founder of its Theological 

School. It was fitting, therefore, 

to commemorate him in 

the naming of the new block of 

four flats for married students 

and tutors which has just been 

built between Dorothy and the 

Vatican. This back corner of 

the College, well-known to 

domestic staff but hardly to 

students, has now been transformed 

beyond recognition. 

This handsome building, designed 

by George Mitchell and 

David Eyres (53) of Mockridge, 

Stahle & Mitchell, and 

built by John Frogley and 

Associates, fits its surroundings 

so perfectly that it looks 

as if it has always been there. 

A plaque reads: 

THE MOORHOUSE 

BUILDING 

This building named in honour 

of 

James Moorhouse 

second Bishop of Melbourne 

and Founder in 1878 of the 

Theological School of Trinity 

College, 

was dedicated and opened 

by The Most Reverend 

Robert W. Dann, 

President of the 

College Council, 

on 15th February, 1981 

It has been erected through the 

generous response of individuals 

and parishes to the 

Theological School Centenary 

Appeal. 

Honorary Director of 

the Appeal: 

The Right Reverend 

J. A. Grant. 

The ceremony of dedication 

was attended by over two 

hundred people despite an 

appallingly hot day of 40°C. 

The fine choral singing, 

directed by the College Organ 

Scholar, John Beaverstock, at 

Evensong before the Dedication 

lifted the thoughts of the 

large congregation beyond the 

trying weather to joyous 

worship. 

As Honorary Director of the 

Theological School Centenary 

Appeal, Bishop Grant has now 

been instrumental in raising 

$130,000, almost singlehanded, 

towards the cost of 

the Stewart House (where Dr. 

John Gaden and his family 

live) and the new Moorhouse 

Building. We still need 

$60,000 to reduce capital 

repayments to the point where 

rents from the house and flats 

can begin to support an additional, 

badly needed, theological 

lecturer. 

"In the final analysis", said 

the Warden, paying tribute to 

Bishop Grant's work and 

acknowledging the generosity 

of parishes and individual 

donors, "this Appeal is not so 

much about bricks and mortar, 

attractive and essential though 

these buildings are, but about 

people. We cannot encourage 

married theological students of 

high calibre to come, and then 

have nowhere for them to live 

where they can relate to the 

College. And we must find 

ways to increase the Anglican 

contribution to the United 

Faculty of Theology, without 

casting impossible burdens 

upon the Chaplain, the Revd. 

Rodney Oliver, and even more 

upon the Director of the Theological 

School, Dr. John 

Gaden." 

The College is grateful to 

Archbishop Robert Dann ('43) 

for the cheerful readiness with 

which he agreed to come on an 

exhausting day (the diocesan 

ordinations took place the 

morning) to dedicate this 

building. It marks a significant 

milestone in the history of both 

Trinity and its Theological 

School. 

"DOROTHY" 

and 

"VATICAN" 

The new Moorhouse building 

has brought the two older 

buildings between which it 

stands into prominence. 

The older of the two is 

Vatican, where in earlier times 

the Warden had his study and 

Syd Wynn, at the other end, 

his workshop. Not a few distinguished 

Trinity men have 

lived there, especially seniors 

heading towards the medical 

profession. The title, "The 

Vatican", was given it as a wry 

jest by the Revd. Esmond 

Sutton who lived there as 

Chaplain from 1925 to 1927. 

The joke appealed to his 

successor, T. M. Robinson, 

and the title has continued to 

the present day, even though it 

is a long time since a Chaplain 

has actually lived there. 

The present Chaplain, the 

Revd. Rodney Oliver ('50), 

recently moved his study into 

Vatican. It is a very suitable 

place, combining easy access 

with privacy. 

The other building, in the 

corner nearest Ormond and 

the University Oval, is 

Dorothy. It was built as Male 

Staff Quarters by Dr. Behan. 

Like the Squash Court on 

another corner, it was built 

solidly to prevent any encroachment 

on the College 

grounds by the University. 

Nick Turnbull ('36) and John 

Piercey ('30) are confident 

that it was named Dorothy 

after Dorothy Ryall who became 

Matron in 1930. Does 

anyone remember the actual 

circumstances of the naming of 

Dorothy? 

It housed Male Domestic 

Staff from the 1930's until last 

year when it was converted to 

house 13 students. The landscaping 

of the surrounding 

area, and the development of 

the handsome old staff lounge 

room (which had served as a 

storeroom for past ten years) 

to be a tutorial room has meant 

that this once remote corner is 

now a familiar part of the
