A VINTAGE YEAR
by the Warden
If we had carried off the Cowan Cup and the Holmes Shield, 1988
would have been as close to perfect as any Warden or Senior
Student could expect. We did come a very close second in the
Cowan Cup, and some of the sports teams who saw victory
narrowly elude their grasp—cricket, men's and women's rowing,
rugby, soccer and football come to mind—can be proud of their
dedicated efforts and of never giving up. Their cumulative effect is
that we can be proud of our sporting reputation and set about
capturing,the premiership next year with renewed confidence.
For me, two days of double triumph this year symbolise the variety
and spirit of the whole College as well as the gifts of the people
involved. One was the Wednesday in first term when David
Studdert led our men's athletics team to a well-deserved
premiership and that very evening scored a dramatic triumph as
Puck in Federay Holmes' remarkable production of "A Midsummer
Night's Dream". The other was also a Wednesday—this time at the
end of second term—when David Guthrie scored the winning goal
in the hockey final and that evening was accorded a standing
ovation at the Senior Student's Dinner for his enlightened
leadership of our student community for the previous year.
Watching the succession of students, both women and men,
coming to receive their cups and pewters at the Valedictory Dinner,
I could not help reflecting what a wonderfully gifted and delightful
group of students we have. That, above all, is what has made the
year so special. The Dialectic Society, the Music Society, the Art
Show, the Dramatic Society, the Musical "Cabaret"—all have been
vigorous, pursuing high standards, and hugely enjoyable. Sarah
Larkins, Louise Dunn, Elise Wilkinson, James Ramsden and
Amanda Crawley come to mind as giving special leadership in these
areas, but they could hardly have done so well if they had not
received magnificent backing from so many others. In music and
drama Trinity is now far ahead of any other College—a fact of
considerable significance when it comes to recruiting new
students.
The College has been blessed with a run of first-rate Senior
Students and T.C.A.C. Committees and 1988 was no exception. No
doubt it is high time we had our second woman Senior Student, but
no-one would have wanted anyone except David Guthrie this
time. He has not only great dramatic, musical and sporting talent
and a delightful sense of humour but the kind of mature concern for
the welfare of the College and everyone in it that is the mark of a
truly great Senior Student. The committee was also outstanding. If I
were to single out just one, it would be Jamie Adamson who had the
most difficult task of any Treasurer in living memory, as the
time-honoured system (which ignored accruals and auditors) broke
down completely just as he took office, leaving the T.C.A.C. to cope
with a debt of many thousands. It is largely due to the T.C.A.C.
Committee and the Senior Student and their encouragement to
others to give of their best that Trinity has had the marvellously
happy and caring atmosphere we have all enjoyed. (Cont. P. 2)
WE WERE WRONG
In the last edition of the Newsletter (No. 36) the names of
two Trinity men were wrongly included amongst those
who had died. The mistake was due to incorrect
information being passed on to the College.
We apologise to:
David Lipscombe Hollway (1934)
Donald James MacKinnon (1947)
and their families, and are very sorry for any distress this
mistake may have caused.
We are pleased to be able to say that both Trinity men are
very much alive and well.
A PUBLICATION OF TRINITY COLLEGE WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE Registered by Australia Post—Publication No. VBG 4336.

I should also like to pay tribute to the Dean, Mrs Leith Hancock. She
took on this role with some reluctance and even considerable
anxiety as to whether she could cope with the responsibilities. As
everyone knows, she has been tremendous—deservedly popular
for her genuine affection for every tutor and student and her
effective concern for their welfare. My only worry about her is her
tendency to keep working when she ought to take a break. She is a
wonderful friend and colleague and I am grateful.
I haven't yet mentioned the tutors, without whom we could hardly
be called a College at all. Ian Rose gave two years of greatly valued
service as President of the Senior Common Room and has been
followed, with great success, by Nigel Warwick, whose virtues
include being an experienced and effective advocate for tutors'
conditions and a necessarily firm chairman. There are some
wonderful people among our tutors, and I know that many students
would like to see fewer barriers between SCR and JCR.
If I wanted to go on with a complete "thank you" list it would run for
pages—Don Leane, our superb Bursar and Business Manager,
whose work is more behind the scenes but absolutely crucial for
the good of the College; Susan Moro, my wonderful secretary and
protector; Heather Wilson in Accounts; Filomena Parente in the
College Office; and our cheerfully efficient Librarians, Eirene Clark
and Gillian Forwood, would also have to be mentioned—and
where would you stop if you also wanted to mention (how could
you not?) Frank Henegan, Peter Fleming and Miguel Gyucha,
Mustafa, Geoff and Warren's work in the garden, Bill and Alby, and
those wonderful people who serve our meals and clean the
place?
The word "College" means above all a community of people. The
best colleges have great diversity in their membership and a sense
of common purpose. That has been the mark of Trinity this year. It is
a good reason for thinking that Trinity really is the best College.

THE WARDEN AS ACTING-CHAPLAIN
Last January the Archbishop phoned me to suggest that Fr Ron
Browning might become College Chaplain in succession to Dr
Peter Wellock. I had often thought how suitable for this work Ron
Browning would be, and was so delighted with the Archbishop's
suggestion that I agreed on the spot. The only problem was the right
time for Ron to leave his present parish in West Coburg—"not
before the middle of the year" seemed the general consensus. Soon
the Warden and Dean, confronted with a long waiting list, had
stacked the Stewart House with students, thereby making it
impossible for the Chaplain to start before late November. That, to
put it gently, was not what the Archbishop had intended.
My punishment was to have the duties of Chaplain added to those I
already had as Warden. Help was offered from the Theological
School staff and gratefully accepted. It has, in fact, been a delightful
experience for me—especially officiating at Choral Evensong on
Mondays and Wednesdays and presiding and/or preaching quite
frequently at the College Eucharist on Thursday nights. This service
is a very important part of my own spiritual life, and I have regarded
presiding at it as a very great privilege. Other aspects of the
Chaplaincy have, however, been neglected. Next year Fr Ron
should have more opportunity than I have had to take a personal
interest in the needs of the students and tutors, to offer courses in
Christian doctrine, and to prepare people for Baptism and
Confirmation.
One benefit from not having to pay the Chaplain's stipend was that
funds unexpectedly became available for the beautification of the
Chapel furnishings—especially new altar frontals and linen. Jan
Joustra is an expert in textiles and he has put his knowledge and skill
generously at the disposal of the College, with welcome help from
his wife Linda. Their work is not yet complete, but there is now
enough for us all to admire.
Another change occurred somewhat mysteriously during the
August vacation when the portable altar, placed in the body of the
Chapel for large eucharistic services, was placed near the south side
of the narthex to form a chapel for small weekday services.
Although some have found this move controversial, I, for one, have
appreciated the greater intimacy it affords, especially since a
painted Franciscan crucifix has been placed on the wall behind the
altar. This is based on the much larger and older one at St Damian's
outside Assisi, where St Francis heard Christ saying to him, "My
church is falling into ruin—rebuild it."
The Chapel Committee has been a valued support and advisory
body. All the members have made their contributions—from
arranging various social events and a discussion on "Dying with
Dignity" to the Secretary, Donald Speagle's, meticulous care for
agendas, minutes, service sheets, and the election of the new
Committee. This election generated more interest in the wider
College than I can remember fora Chapel Committee—a great sign
of hope.
Some of the impetus for this growing interest surely springs from a
Forum organized by Br Phillip Turnbull O.S.B. in third term. The
subject was "What Religion Means in My Life". The six student
speakers represented a wide variety of viewpoints and spoke with
moving honesty, while over 150 listened with rapt attention. A few
weeks later, a meeting of the Chapel congregation agreed that, as
well as the present forms of Chapel services, there was a need to
provide occasions—perhaps only talking and singing—to which
those with little or no appreciation of the formal Anglican service
might relate more naturally.
There have been three well-attended large-scale services this year:
the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors, Trinity Sunday
(on its Octave, to avoid the May vacation), and the Valedictory
Service in October. All were distinguished by the splendid singing
of the Trinity College Choir. We look foward to the Festival of
Lessons and Carols in December, the last to be attened by Sir Ninian
Stephen as Governor-General.
Dr. Evan L. Burge
The Valedictory Service was marked not only by a good attendance
of valedicting students and their families, but by the dedication of a
beautiful set of embroidered cushions for Room 2 of the Leeper
Library (the original College Chapel) in memory of Helen Brown,
until 1986 Assistant Leeper Librarian and the sister of our present
Librarian, Eirene Clark.
A special word of thanks to Bruce Macrae, Director of the Choir; to
Philip Nunn, our splendid Organist, Organizer, and Composer; to
Susan Wuttke, leading Soprano and Secretary of the Choir; to Cathy
Troiani, Alto and Treasurer; and to all the signers who have given
generously of their dedication, skill and time. Sandra Hoysted has
been an exemplary Sacristan; Nikolaus Sakellaropoulos an
unfailing and helpful Sexton; Steven Salmon has arranged rosters
and teams of servers; and John Goodwin's sensitive organ playing at
the College and Theological School Eucharists has been much
appreciated.
Trinity Chapel is a place which grows on one. The more I worship
there, the more it means to me. It is indeed a place where God finds
those who seek him. May Fr Ron Browning find the position of
Chaplain as rewarding as I have, and find the encouragement and
strength to meet the many challenges and opportunities that await
him.

From the Leeper library
This term we have built up an exciting contemporary Australiana
collection by means of a generous grant from Rollins College. Over
two hundred recently-published books on Australian literature,
history, fine arts, sociology and environmental studies have been
added to the catalogue to provide the resources for the Rollins
study programme. As these books are on the open shelves, our own
Trinity students are discovering much that is new and challenging
about their country as well.
To mark the inaugural Rollins-Trinity semester, the President of
Rollins College, President Thaddeus Seymour, presented to the
Leeper Library The Pictorial History of Rollins College. Many of our
readers have browsed through the book, which traces the
development of the beautiful Florida college from its foundation
late last century to the present. Staff and students are seen at work in
lecture halls and laboratories, and relaxing by the lake on boating
parties, in classic collegiate style.
An honoured addition to our Trinitiana collection is The Sir Lindesay
Clark Memorial Volume: Technology in Australia 1788-1988,
compiled by the Fellows of the Australian Academy of
Technological Sciences and Engineering. We thank Professor
Arthur Clark for presenting this work in memory of his late father
who was one of the giants of the Australian mining industry. Sir
Lindesay attended Trinity in 1919, while completing his mining
course at Melbourne University, after serving in France in the A.I.F.
where he has awarded the Military Cross in 1918.
We also thank Mr Joseph Brown for presenting to the library a
personal copy of Outlines of Australian Art: the Joseph Brown
Collection, edited by Daniel Thomas. The work records the
breadth and richness of the collection, and we are delighted to have
received it from Mr Brown.
Of great bibliographic interest to Trinity, Sir William Stawell's own
copy of the 1836 edition of Chitty's Precedents in Pleadings, was
presented to the library by Dr Robin Sharwood at the Law Faculty
Dinner in July. Sir William, the first Chief Justice of Victoria, was one
of the founders of Trinity College, and was featured in a
bicentennial exhibition held in the Long Room of Trinity College
Dublin this year. The exhibition was entitled Terra Australis cognita:
Australia to 1900, and displayed a selection of the Library's holdings
relating to Australia from the days of the early Dutch discoveries.
We thank Dr Sharwood for his generous and timely gift of a legal
work inscribed by Stawell.
Recent gifts to the Leeper Library also included the Kenneth
Henderson Papers, presented by his daughter Dr Margaret
Henderson, together with Robert Trumble's biography Kenneth
Thorne Henderson: Broadcaster of the Word. The Papers will
provide valuable research material.
We are always grateful to those friends of the Leeper Library who so
generously present works to us.

WILLIAM WETTENHAL
LEMPRIERE
William Lempriere, resident in Trinity from 1924 to 1929, died on
22nd August 1987. We record here part of the eulogy given at his
funeral by the Venerable Stan Moss, himself a Trinity man and close
friend of William Lempriere.
"He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith."
In the New Testament, these words are spoken of St Barnabas, but
to me they apply as well to our beloved Christian brother, Dr
William Lempriere.
"Full of the Spirit", I take to mean exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit
such as love, patience, kindness, faithfulness, and self control.
Whatever part of his life one examines, these same qualities are
well evident.
He was born at Young, N.S.W., 82 years ago. Later, when about 12,
he came down with his parents and brother to live at
"Glenholford", his grandfather's bush property near Stawell. Only a
few months ago Bill and his brother Holford were showing me a
photo of that homestead and reminiscing about the lovely
memories it had for them.
After finishing at Geelong Grammar, where public school religion
really nurtured the seed of faith in him, he went up to Trinity College
to read Medicine. In his second year at Trinity, he met Whitney King
and their friendship was to grow and endure particularly through
this parish church of St John's. At Trinity Bill Lempriere showed
himself to be a young man of standards combined with an
independent outlook.
He was attracted to the University rifle regiment and moved on
from there to Militia. When the Second A.I.F. was formed in 1939
Bill Lempriere immediately Joined and was posted to the 2/2 Field
Ambulance. He saw action in North Africa, Greece and Crete.
He told a group of us one evening something of the manner of his
rescue from the south coast of Crete at night by a R.N. destroyer—
how they had to move by night across the island and hide in the
caves during the day to escape enemy aircraft—it was extremely
hazardous, with hardly any food and a tin can of water which he and
his companion carried between them on a stick.
But his most notable service was as a commander of the 2/11 Field
Ambulance at El Alamein. His bravery under fire, regardless of
personal danger, and his devotion to his troops were exemplary.
This is the testimony of Kingsley Spicer who was one of his staff—
"cool as a cucumber, with a very steady nerve, the welfare of his
men always his first priority". At El Alamein he won the
Distinguished Service Order. Kingsley maintains that Bill's Christian
faith was the principal factor in determining his behaviour under
the terrible pressure of war.
Back on leave in Australia in 1943, he and Estelle were married here
at St John's which, I suppose, opened up the most important
chapter of his life.
Estelle and William (as his wife loved to call him) made a great
success of their marriage. Estelle's children, Penny and David, were
as much the recipients of their step-father's kindness and pride as
was his own dear daughter Yvonne.
After long years away at the war, Bill Lempriere had to set about
building up his professional practice. His inclination towards
Dermatology was doubtless aided by his uncle, who invited Bill into
partnership. Subsequently, he set up his own practice at 14
Parliament Place and for many years was also the Assistant Director
at Dermatological Clinics at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and in
the Army.
He was highly respected by his peers and was invited to
membership of the College of Dermatology. In the functioning of
the College, he was a committee member for many years and
expressed a gracious and valued influence. How he loved to attend
the conferences with his fellow "Dermos", as he termed them, and
indeed it was amongst these friends he died. One of Bill's former
patients kindly rang me to say what an incredibly understanding
and caring practitioner he was. He mediated healing, he said,
without putting down, and with a willingness to give of himself in
terms of warmth and friendship.
And so I reserve to last his service to the community, particularly
through the Church. There were other avenues, of course,
including Melbourne Rotary and Graduate House. But, it is not
exaggerating to say that the Church was the mainspring of his life's
outlook certainly since the second world war.
When Bill Lempriere resigned from the Vestry, being accorded the
honour of Churchwarden Emeritus by the then Archbishop, a
minute was subsequently recorded at the Annual General Meeting
in 1986:
'Acknowledging with love and gratitude his devoted and
exemplary service given on the Vestry over a continous period of
38 years." The minute concluded that "the present lively vigour of
St John's testifies in no small degree to his unselfish service, gentle
wisdom and personal dedication".
He had a particular gift of thinking on his feet, which, when
combined with his quite remarkable memory for poetic lines,
always produced a memorable speech, either on farewell
occasions or in expressing a vote of thanks. The quiet hesitancy
with which he began to speak, always ensured rapt attention from
his listenders which enabled him to conclude his remarks usually
on a high note of wit and humour.
And he was ever willing to undertake humble unpopular tasks, e.g.
stewardship campaigns, sidesmen's duty at small services, or
joining in working bees. Of course, working bees fitted into his pet
hobby of gardening, and once again the vicarage ground was often
the beneficiary of a plant or shrub he had struck or nurtured at
home.
Yes, he was a conservative man by temperament and that followed
into his church life too. That is why we felt it right to use the Book of
Common Prayer at this service—copies of which he gave to the
parish as a memorial to his Estelle. Yet I believe his moderate and
cautious outlook developed because he always had a concern to
conserve the good of the past, rather than cast it aside for the
fashion of the moment, on which score he could be very
scathing.
Yet when it came to the ecumenical question, he was right up in the
van. He never missed an ecumenical service, ora study programme
or an ecumenical prayer group meeting, despite his evangelical
background and outlook. He was a man open to the Spirit with the
gift of discerning between the Spirits.
So today we are giving high thanks that through the Spirit of God,
this Christian brother of ours has run the race of life with great
patience, stamina and grace. To us he has been a model and
example of how to keep "looking unto Jesus the author and
perfector of our faith". We believe he has won the victory with the
trumpets sounding on the other side.
"He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith."
