CELEBRATION DINNER FOR EVAN BURGE
7th June, 1989, AT TRINITY COLLEGE
The following address was given by the Most Reverend David
Penman.
A little more than fifteen years ago, my predecessor, Archbishop
Frank Woods, was looking for a successor to Dr Robin Sharwood
as Warden of Trinity College. It was a hard act to follow. His
attention was drawn to a certain Dr Evan Burge, at that time, a
member of the Classics Faculty at the A.N.U. in Canberra. He had
been born in Melbourne but raised in far-off Brisbane. In other
words he came from Queensland.and had then spent fifteen
years in Canberra!
To off-set these serious disadvantages, he was known in
academic circles as a brilliant classicist. From the Standing
Liturgical Commission of General Synod, word was already
leaking out that Dr Burge's classical erudition was no dry,
clinically isolated expertise: his knowledge and love for the
classical languages had given him a delicate feel for the English
language. Few, I think, appreciate or even realise how great a
proportion of the verbal felicity of A.A.P.B. we owe to Evan
Burge's sensitivity, sheer hard work and persistent interventions
in the work of the Liturgical Commission in the years that were to
follow.
From the same source, as well as from colleagues in A.N.U. and
in the Diocese of Canberra/Goulburn, came word of Dr Burge's
ability to work harmoniously and productively with a wide variety
of people. He was recognised as a person who could bring
together those whom others considered to be incompatible and
to motivate them to fruitful and mutually satisfying co-operation.
So, when Archbishop Frank Woods and the Council first
considered Evan Burge's name as Robin Sharwood's successor,
he was already becoming known as a scholar, a teacher of note,
a man of much more than skin-deep culture, and a pastor with
fine sensitivity.
Two further qualities were at least desirable in a Warden for
Trinity College: ability (I almost said "sleight of hand") with
figures, for institutions like Trinity College can only survive and
prosper under wise and innovative economic management; and
fresh ideas in the field both of theological and general university
education. He was particularly skilled in the needs of general
education but somewhat untried in relation to theological training
and preparation. For while he was in 1974 already in Priest's
Orders, he had come to ordination through what some at least
might consider the unorthodox route of non-stipendiary ministry,
including 11 years as a non-stipendiary Deacon. Dark thoughts
doubtless lingered in the minds of some that a priest with such a
lack of formal training might be unsuitable for the demands and
expectations of both general and theological education in Trinity
College. Others, however, knew that it was the very way that
Evan Burge had come to ordination which had caused him to
think deeply about the whole issue of theological education and
its relation both to university education and scholarship as a
whole, and to the training of men (and in those days it was only
men) for the ordained ministry of the Church.
As to figures (if you have any doubts), Evan and his wife Barbara
had produced that perfectly balanced family of three boys and
three girls—a feat which many have envied but few have
emulated.
Let me say a word of appreciation and thanks for Barbara. Her
energy and bubbling sense of humour, not to mention her skill
and knowledge in her chosen profession, are matched only by
her compassion and humanity. I am sure that Evan would be the
first to acknowledge Barbara's part in all that we are celebrating
this evening—a contribution to Trinity and to all our lives for
which we are deeply grateful.
Evan and Barbara have now spent some fifteen years at Trinity,
and all that potential which Archbishop Woods and the Council
saw and hoped for has long since begun to bear fruit, and to bear
it very abundantly. It is a delight and a privilege to be able to
honour Evan and Barbara Burge this evening, to thank God for
the wisdom and insight of those who appointed them to Trinity,
and for their work and achievement since that time. It is truly with
deep gratitude to God that we are able to celebrate this occasion
with such a sense of satisfaction.

(Continued from page 1)
Trinity College today has a spirit, and is a true microcosm of
what a university college should be, a "Universitas Scholarum",
a fellowship of scholars, with a leadership team to be proud of.
I want to stress that word "team". One of the qualities Evan has
brought to Trinity is the creation of a leadership team of quality
which has spilled over to create an almost tangible sense of
community in the College. This is something many talk about,
some aim for, but few achieve.
Trinity College has an innovative and forward-looking vitality in
which sound scholarship and deep personal spirituality
deservedly attracts students to learn "wisdom and the right way
to live", as the sacred writer has it in Proverbs (4:11). I am sure
Evan would agree that we can take this theme a little further with
these words: "Always remember what you have learned. Your
education is your life—guard it well."
For myself, and I would hope for many others here, I would like
to close with some words which I have adapted from the Apostle
Paul:
"For these reasons, ever since! heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus and your love for all of God's people, l have not stopped
giving thanks to God for you. l remember you in my prayers and
ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to
continue giving you the Spirit, who makes you wise and reveals
God to you, so that you will continue to know him. 1 ask that
your mind be opened yet more to see His light, so that you will
know the hope to which He has called you, how rich are the
wonderful blessings He has promised His people, and how very
great is His power among us who believe."
(Ephesians 1. 15-19a)
To say "thank you", Evan, we would like you to accept a more
tangible expression of our gratitude and our affection than mere
words or even this excellent dinner.
At the conclusion of his address, the Archbishop presented the
Warden with a silver tray to mark the fifteen years of his
Wardenship.
PAUL RADFORD 1905-1989
The death of Paul Radford in Adelaide on 24th April 1989 recalls
those halcyon days of Trinity between the time when the
servicemen from World War I solved many of the Warden's
problems by completing their stay in College and the Depression
which caused further problems.
Paul was one of three Geelong Grammarians, sometimes referred
to as "the holy trinity". All were sons of clergy, Philip Brown ('23)
(son of the Headmaster), Brian Jones ('25) (son of the Vicar of All
Saints, St Kilda) and Paul Radford ('24) (son of the Bishop of
Goulburn). Philip Brown is still living near Geelong and Brian
Jones lives at Pewsey, Wiltshire (U.K.).
I first met Paul in 1923 when he stayed at my parents' home on
coming from school to sit for the College Scholarship exams. He
was awarded an A.M. White Scholarship.
During his stay at my parents' home he first met Winifred Poveys
Kent Hughes, a niece of Canon Ernest Selwyn Hughes. Winifred
was later a resident student in Janet Clarke Hall, and she and Paul
became engaged at my parents' home during the weekend of the
1926 Trinity Mixed Doubles Tournament. They married in 1932.
Paul was born at the Old Rectory, Holt in Norfolk, on 22nd May
1905. His father was the Rector there.
In February 1909 the Redford family arrived in Sydney where
Paul's father had been appointed Warden of St Paul's College
within the University. From 1916 to 1918 Paul attended Tudor
House School at Moss Vale. Thence he went to Geelong
Grammar having been awarded a Sons of Clergy Scholarship. He
had a good school career. He left with a School Leaving
Scholarship to Melbourne University, where he graduated
B.A.(Hons.) in 1927 in the School of Classical Philology.
In College he was Captain of Athletics in 1926, a member of the
cricket and football teams 1924-26. He represented the
University in the Shotput and its 2nd XI. He was Secretary of
Melbourne University (Blue) Football Club and played rugby for
the University. He was in the Trinity Minstrels and it is evident
that he was well qualified to cox a crew in the Elliot Fours!
In 1927 Paul entered New College, Oxford. He graduated at
Oxford in 1929 in the School of Literae Humaniores. At Oxford
he was involved in athletics (shotput), cricket and rugby. He also
played Australian Rules against Cambridge and was a member of
the Raleigh Club. Having graduated M.A. at Oxford, Paul was
ready to start on his chosen profession as a school master. He was
classics master at Wellington College from 1929 to 1930 and Latin
and Greek master at Eton College from 1930 to 1931. He played
rugby for Eton in the Thames Valley Competition.
In the Easter Vac. in 1931 I had the pleasure and privilege of
making a "hard seat" trip with him to Greece and Sicily. It was a
most enjoyable experience and has lived in my memory.
In 1931 Paul returned to Australia and joined the staff of No rth
Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore). On 18th
June 1932 Paul married Winifred who was then working in
Canberra.
In 1935 Paul and Winifred moved to Melbourne when Paul
became Senior Classics Master at Scotch College and
Housemaster of Gardiner House. Naturally he became involved
in many School activities including founding the Natural History
Society and coaching the Rugby XV. He also renewed his
connections with the University, becoming member of the
Standing Committee of Convocation and associated particularly
with education in Classics. Winifred was a distinguished
entomologist and this, no doubt, led to Paul's interest in Botany
and Natural History. Their three children, all of whom have
distinguished themselves in their several avocations, were born in
Melbourne.
Paul's eyesight caused him to be rejected for War Se rvice with
the R.A.A.F., so he joined the A.R.P. Organization and was
selected for special work on unexploded bombs.
Paul was appointed in 1946 Headmaster of the Hutchins School,
Hobart. As in Sydney and Melbourne he became involved in
extra-curricular activities. He became a member of the Royal
Society of Tasmania and President of the New Education
Fellowship. The Radfords had some problems with the rather
conservative Hobart community. They had great support from
Russell Keon-Cohen ('22) who was on the staff of the school and
had been in Trinity during Paul's time. Some of the problems may
have stemmed from his North of England ancestry which could
have contributed to a reluctance to compromise which is
sometimes found in a "mens sibi conscia recti".
In 1954 Paul became Senior Latin Master at Scotch College in
Adelaide. Later he became Deputy Headmaster and Acting
Headmaster. In Adelaide he became involved in a wide
educational field. The University of Adelaide granted him an M.A.
ad eundem grandem; he became President of the Graduate
Union and a Member of the Standing Committee of the Senate.
As may be imagined, he became deeply involved in the Amateur
Athletic Association and the Universi ty of Adelaide Rugby Club.
Retirement in 1970 did not end Paul's activities. He had become
interested in South East Asia and prior to his retirement had
become involved in the study of Asian languages and a member
of other educational activities.
Paul and Winifred travelled overseas, partly at least in furthering
their academic work, and also in tracing the Radford family
origins. In 1979 Paul published a biography of his father entitled
"A Scholar in a New Land".
Paul was a Vestry man at All Saints, Colonel Light Gardens, before
1954 and thereafter, when they lived in Lower Mitcham at St
Columb's, Hawthorn. He was also a life member of the Adelaide
Diocesan Synod.
The extent and variety of the voluntary work Paul and Winifred
performed during Paul's later years may perhaps be judged by
the crowded congregation at the Memorial Se rvice held at St
Columb's (by no means a small church) on 29th April 1989.
Paul is survived by Winifred and three children, all of whom have
had distinguished careers. Margaret Ann Millhouse, Federal
Commissioner of the Girl Guides; Anthony, Professor of
Community Medicine, Flinders University; and Geoffrey Paul,
who has achieved distinction as a manager in the musical world.

THE FOUNDATION REACHES
$3 MILLION IN PLEDGES
At the 30th June, 1989, pledges to the Foundation reached
$3,004,231 and of this amount $2,641,748 had been received in
cash.
A large proportion of the funds has already been spent on
important works required by the College or on projects as
specified by thé donor. An important development is the increase
in the amount held in the Scholarship and Bursary Endowment
Fund. The capital sum now stands at $266,831 and at the
beginning of 1989 the Foundation for the first time awarded the
following scholarships:
The Charles Abbott Scholarship .. James Gorton
Bruce Munro Scholarships
Sacha Seneque
Andrew Tulloch
Robert B. Lewis Scholarship . Charlotte Muirhead
Amy Smith Scholarship .. . Andrew Troy
Arthur Hills Scholarship .. . Karen Anderson
David Beggs
Helen Schutt Trust Scholarships
Susanna King
James Ramsden
The approximate cost of being a resident at Trinity in 1989 is
$6,000, and the awarding of scholarships to deserving students is
becoming increasingly important. We warmly thank Mr Charles
Abbott, Mr Bruce Munro, Mr Robert Lewis, the Helen Schutt
Trust, several anonymous donors, and the students of the second
half of the 1970's for the endowment of these scholarships.
Some simple home truths
Procrastination is a thief, not only of one's time, but also of one's
final act of determination. When a lifetime has been spent in
creating an estate, it's a sad and serious neglect not to have an
up-to-date Will to direct who shall benefit from those assets.
The best time to make one's Will is when the body is healthy, the
mind clear and there are no pressures.
Again, there are obvious reasons why it is necessary regularly to
review one's Will and that will often be preceded by consultation
with spouse or family.
A bequest can take a variety of forms—money, real estate, rural
property, valuable painting, piece of china—anything of a
realizable value. Such benefactions are free of probate and gift
duty.
Bequests are fast becoming the financial life-blood to the
development needs of privately governed educational
institutions throughout the world.
In Trinity's case very much more bequest support will have to be
indicated before that can also be said of this College.
Dr Evan Burge, the Warden, Angela Mackie, the Foundation
Director, or Stan Moss, the Bequest Officer, would be pleased to
talk further on the subject. Telephone 347 1044.

Hughes Club Dinner Celebrates
Rowing Win
A very successful Hughes Club Dinner was held on 27th April,
and was attended by 90 people. The Club was founded in 1978
to support Trinity rowing. Crews from 1959, 1969, and 1979 were
reunited and thanks must go to 'Taffy' Jones, Rob Stewa rt and Bill
Gillies for helping to arrange this. There was also a table of 1930's
Trinity oarsmen. As well as former rowers, thirty present day
Trinity oarsmen and women attended the dinner. Guests were
entertained by a superb address from Dr 'Taffy' Jones, who was
well known to most present, either as a former oarsman or as a
Resident Fellow in College. Another highlight of the dinner was
the presentation of the Mervyn Boumes Higgins medals to this
years men's 1st eight, who recaptured the trophy for the first time
since 1983.
The crew this year was coached jointly by Mr Christopher Dane
and John Harry ('66) and assisted by David Gall (Captain of Boats
1987). The crew started as underdogs, since due to many
unforseen problems, the crew had never rowed as a combination
before. However, to the delight of the large Trinity, contingent on
the bank, Trinity crossed the line 134 lengths ahead of Ormond.
The seconds also did well, being the best major college and
coming second to the very strong St Hilda's eight. The women's
crews rowed valiantly, the firsts coming third and the seconds
coming forth.

JUTTODDIE 1989
Juttoddie this year returned to its traditional form with the
students in academic gowns and carrying a handicap of bricks
competing in races over fences in the Bulpadock. There was a
Bishop (alias Mrs Joan Chynoweth, wife of THE Bishop
Chynoweth) to bless the bricks and curse the Tote, and the
bookmakers still lost (or won) considerable sums!
The races were preceded by the Annual Friends of Trinity
Luncheon held in the middle of the Bulpadock. As well as
investing on the tote, punters were given the chance of winning
$500 worth of travel, gourmet packs of beer and champagne, or a
well-stocked hamper, the three prizes in the Friends of Trinity
raffle. The Chairman, Mr John Gourlay, expressed his thanks to
Mr Stephen Nicholas and Mr Tony Grage, Mr and Mrs Seward,
and the members of the Committee for donating the first, second
and third prizes respectively.
Louise Gourlay, wife of the President of the Friends of Trinity John
GOURLAY ('54) helps Dick SUTCLIFFE ('57) husband of
committee member, Sandy Sutcliffe, to lunch prior to Juttoddie.
The Senior Student, Scottie Charles, appeals to the crowd to
invest with the bookies. Scottie is wearing the traditional Senior
Student's suit.

STATE FUNERAL AND MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE HON.
FREDERICK SHEPPARD GRIMWADE, A.O. (1933-1989)
Held at St Matthew's Anglican Church, Broadford on Tuesday, 28 February 1989.
Eulogy delivered by Sir Andrew Grimwade, C.B.E.
After graduation, and after post-graduate studies in the U.S.A., he
took up residence at Glenaroua, Broadford. Initially he farmed in
partnership with his uncle, Philip Grimwade, who had served for
some years as a member of the Victorian Parliament. After Phil's
death in September 1961, Fred revitalised Glenaroua's pastoral
operations, concentrating upon merinos and Angus cattle. In
1970, 19 years ago, he jointly founded the Performance Tested
Angus Group, a cattle trail-blazing initiative that has become
widely known and respected as the Pertangus Group. He was
closely involved in rural affairs and in agricultural education, for
20 years being a Member of the University of Melbourne's
Faculty of Agriculture.
Frederick S. Grimwade
Fred Grimwade, grazier, studmaster and parliamentarian, and
friend to many, as we can see from today's large attendance, was
born on 12 September 1933 in Melbourne, second son of Erick
and Gwen Grimwade. His paternal grandfather was a noted
surgeon in Geelong, and was the third son of Fred's namesake,
the original Frederick Sheppard Grimwade, who arrived in
Melbourne on 10 February 1863 and established the Grimwade
family in Australia.
Fred Grimwade was schooled at Melbourne Grammar under that
great disciplinarian Headmaster Sutcliffe. He emerged with
distinction in mathematics, rowing and theatricals, co-starring
with a then unknown Barry Humphries! When Fred was aged 16,
his father died unexpectedly and prematurely. So, from an early
age, Fred was required to develop the qualities of independence,
self-reliance and leadership. These qualities developed further
during his studies at the University of Melbourne, where he was a
resident of Trinity College. Inspired by the Legendary Professor
Wadham, he graduated with a top degree in Agricultural Science
and with a love of the land.
But, Fred's first and greatest love was his wife Joan,
grandi daughter of long-serving High Court Judge, Sir George
Rich. It was an early interest in skiing that brought Fred and Joan
together each winter as teenagers at Mt Buffalo.
An unhurried decade later, on May 3, 1957, they were married in
Sydney. It was a formidable marriage: remarkable for its
happiness and spirit of mutual consideration; remarkable for the
high intelligence and independence of its two strong-willed
partners; remarkable for the shared empathy and all-abiding
love each had for the other.
Fred had a strong belief in the family unit; it was exemplified by
his marriage, a marriage which, despite the demands of politics
and raising a family, still allowed Joan to devote much time to
other activities, including her beloved Girl Guides. She is a born
organiser and was State Commissioner between 1973-78, for
which she was honoured with an O.B.E. in 1977.
Fred and Joan were blessed with three marvellous children: Fred,
Martin and Anni. Were we really surprised when one became an
international investment banker, one a successful farmer and the
other a management consultant? Some parents leave behind
quality; others leave behind quantity. Fred and Joan achieved
both.
Fred enjoyed a warm and loving relationship with his indomitable
mother. It was a close bond that strengthened through the years,
for he was a son any mother could be proud of. From her, he
inherited many sterling qualities: his set of Christian values, his
feeling for language and literature, as well as an abiding love for
music. Fred was an accomplished pianist, though more often in
the Fats Waller idiom; and in his youth was renowned for his
Louis Armstrong expertise with the trumpet.
Broadford was Fred Grimwade's home town, and he knew that
country towns are the backbone of our lives. Locals will
remember him as a Founding Father of St Matthew's Retirement
Village, as a stalwart Churchwarden (for this was "his Church"), as
a member of Apex and the Seymour Lions, as a Pyalong Shire
Councillor for 20 years, as a Life Member of the Seymour
Agricultural Society. It surely shows he could walk in Spring
Street, and not "lose the common touch".
The latent influence of his great grandfather, and that of his uncle,
inevitably led Fred into politics. In 1965 at the age of 32 years, as
Shire President, he unsuccessfully stood for the Bendigo seat in
Federal Parliament. Two years later, he put this experience to
good use when, in 1967, he was elected the Liberal Member for
the Bendigo Province in the Legislative Council, in a cliff-hanger
election enabling the Government to regain control of the Upper
House and remembered for the Henry Bolte truism that
"Weekend Bread Depends on Fred"! Through a redistribution,
this province was renamed Central Highlands from 1979 until
Fred's retirement, becoming a safe liberal stronghold as a result of
Fred's ever-growing popularity and his careful husbandry over 20
years.
Like his great grandfather in the Legislative Council nearly a
century earlier, Fred kept above the battle of political factions
and never sought cabinet office. Yet, unlike his great grandfather,
he was elected President of the Legislative Council in 1979, in
which office, for 6 years, he was recognised by politicians of all
political colours as one of history's great and outstanding
Presidents.
His feel for the role of Parliament, together with a sense of
democratic tradition, gave him an innate stature in firmly, yet
gently, ensuring a more effective Parliament. He was a caring
and courteous politician, for whom the respect of Parliament
was pre-eminent. He feared no-one and nothing; he was always
cool, calm and in control.
Fred had a natural sense of style, direction and continuity. He
served with four powerful Premiers: Sir Henry Bolte, Sir Rupert
Hamer, Lindsay Thompson and John Cain. His distinguished
contemporaries included memorable leaders, such as Jeffrey
Kennett, Evan Walker and Peter Ross-Edwards; and fine Presiding
Officers such as Jim Plowman, Tom Edmunds and Alan Hunt.
In total, Fred Grimwade's life reflected his special qualities—as a
man of the land and as a man of the people.
He displayed high analytical skills balanced by realism, great
probity balanced by compassion, a willingness to venture into
new endeavours balanced by traditional values, courage
balanced by discipline, and directness of purpose balanced by
good humour. It is no surprise that he excelled in cattle
breeding—and in parliament!
After his first operation for cancer in November 1986, he
announced his retirement from parliament. In recognition of 20
years service to politics, rural affairs and the community, he was
made an Officer of the Order of Australia in the 1987 Australia
Day Honours List.
(Continued on page 7)

(Continued from page 6)
His courage and bearing during his long fight with cancer was
remarkable. He insisted that quality of life was important. It was a
period marked by the deepening of the love between Fred and
Joan, combined with a substantial lowering of their golf
handicaps! Fred always thought positively about the future, all
the time with good humour and with an occasional bottle of
wine, especially from the fine Glenaroua Vineyard he had
recently established.
Fred died on 23 February 1989, at the age of only 55. He leaves
Australia richer for his life.
He permanently advanced the technology of cattle breeding; he
raised the public esteem of parliament; he demonstrated the
high qualities of the family unit; he gave to the community more
than he received. His country, his friends and his family, and
those of us here today, will always revere with enduring
gratitude his achievements, his memory and his life.
FROM THE LEEPER LIBRARY
Earlier this year the Leeper
Library took its first step in
automation, when a BiblioFile
computerized catalogue
production system was
installed. Using an
IBM-compatible personal
computer, and a copy of the
complete Library of Congress
(LC) catalogue on three
compact discs, we can both
select existing LC records and
Mr Kim lelbart, donor of a
computer system for the Library.
input our own original
cataloguing. From April 1989, the library's catalogue is being
stored on a hard disk, as well as being printed out in card form.
We are delighted with this development, and we thank the
benefactor, Mr Kim Jelbart, without whose generous support the
library would not have entered the computer age.
Friends of the Leeper Library have recently presented several
interesting works to the collection. Daniel Thomas, Director of
the Art Gallery of South Australia, and initiator of the blockbuster
Bicentennial "Great Australian Art Show" presented the beautiful
book, Creating Australia: 200 years of Art, 1788-1988, which
accompanied the exhibition.
Dr Alexander Leeper's Irish Library has recently entered the
collection. There are over a hundred books and pamphlets,
offering a fascinating bibliographic commentary on the fiery
enthusiasms of Dr Leeper, and including works on Irish poetry,
prose, wit and humour, history, and eccleciastical and political
history. Here is a treasure trove awaiting a researcher on Northern
Ireland during the early part of the century, and also on Dr
Leeper, the scholar and polemist.
Ethleen King presented her book Dreams Become Deeds, the
story of institutions concerned with children's well-being in
Victoria, 1938-1986. A close look at the cover photo reveals
James Gorton, her grandson, a currently enrolled resident
student, displaying beach cricketing skills at a tender age.
We are hoping to purchase shortly the work described by The
Times as 'the greatest English book this century', the second
edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. This twenty-volume
work is the largest and most comprehensive of all dictionaries of
the English language, covering the entire vocabulary of Eríglish
since 1150 A.D. Scholars in all disciplines will find it a research
tool of great value, not only those in language and literature, but
also historians, philosophers, lawyers, doctors and scientists.
Modern words such as soap-opera, yuppie, skinny-dip, and zilch,
rub shoulders with words assimilated from the Far East, ketchup
and typhoon; from the North American Indians, moccasin and
pow-wow; from far-off Norsemen, skill and egg. There are
however no entries yet for the Trinity dialect words Bulpadock
and Juttoddie. There are over two and a half million quotations
illustrating the evolution of each word or sense from its first
recorded usage to an appropriate modern example, to show the
meaning and the contexts in which a word can be used.
Trinity members who would like to help the Library acquire the
Oxford English Dictionary by presenting a volume containing
letters or words of personal significance to the donor, will have
their names inscribed on a special commemorative Dictionary
bookplate. The presence of the second edition of the greatest
English dictionary in the Leeper Library will help continue the
long tradition of scholarship within the College.
Trinity Debaters compete at
Princeton
Last January, the 1989 World lntervarsity Debating
Championships took place at Princeton University in the United
States of America. The University of Melbourne was represented
by two teams. One team consisted of Michael Gronow and Julian
McMahon (who wrote the following article), both former
students and current tutors at Trinity. The Melbourne contingent
then visited Rollins College in Florida. Rollins College runs their
Australian Programme at Trinity.
We crossed the world to debate at Princeton. On the way to my
destination I sat, like so many others, on a bench in Central Park,
New York. As I watched the athletes of American business jog by,
I spotted the familiar college colours running past me. "G'day
mate" I ventured, thus revealing much to the knowing, while
hoping that the big gent had not ripped the jumper off a corpse.
The gent was Roger Harley ('76) who works with Baines Securities
in New York. Without as much as a second glance at my
bench-like attire, he sent regards to the Warden and offered his
name as a contact in case of trouble! Perceptive.
We made our way to Princeton, and were there only one hour
before being interviewed in our oilskins and quoted across the
A.P. news service.
We then debated nine times in four days. Preparation time for
each debate was fifteen minutes, each person speaking for 8
minutes. Debating rules in America are quite different from the
rules in Commonwealth countries. Put crudely, the affirmative
team's case need have no logical link to the given topic. In
response the negative need only challenge the affirmative case,
and defeat each affirmative example, without developing a case
of its own. John Davis and Scott Stuckey, the more successful
Melbourne University team, came eighth, and The Sydney
University team won the competition.
Down and Out (around the pool) at Rollins College
Amtrack took us from snowy Princeton to balmy Florida, where
the whole Melbourne contingent was cared for by Rollins
College. Karel and Carmel Reus, the Directors of the Rollins
Programme at Trinity, met us at the Winter Park station and
twenty minutes later we were in the pool at the Lovely Langaford
Hotel, courtesy of Thadeus Seymour, President of Rollins
College. We began to think of food, and Pat Lancaster, the Dean
of Rollins College, showed up with meal tickets. Oh joy! All that
we had to do was to participate in the inaugural and most
enjoyable Trinity/Rollins debate. The Warden has the plaque-on
his wall. The seed of this cross cultural fertilization has begun to
sprout. Damon Musha, debator at Rollins, is now visiting us in
Melbourne.
The trip would have been impossible without the generous
support of Price Waterhouse, Freehill Hollingdale and Page, the
Lorna Stirling Fund and Trinity College.

Sir Keith Hancock
William Keith Hancock entered Trinity College in 1917 and went
on to become one of Australia's most distinguished historians and
scholars. The following is a personal tribute to him, severely
edited for reasons of space, by a grateful pupil, Colin Badger, the
Founding Director of Adult Education, Victoria.
I am very grateful that an early plane from Melbourne to
Canberra on Tuesday August 16, 1988, enabled me to spend a
little over half an hour quietly and alone in the Church of St
John the Baptist before the memorial service for Sir Keith
Hancock began.
In that quiet time in the church, I thought about him and of the
impact of his life on mine. I thought of all I owed him, as
teacher, guide, mentor and friend from the time I met him first
in the library of the University of Adelaide in 1926, until his
death in this year.
As I pondered these things in that church, I resolved to try to
put down something to serve as my memorial and tribute to
him. I was privileged to know him well over many years. There
are none left of the little band who undertook the Honours
course in History under him in Adelaide in 1927. I alone am left
to tell the tale and I determined that I should try to tell it.
Perhaps - who knows! - what I now write may be useful to his
future biographer.
I suppose I knew that the young 'man I saw on that day in 1926
was the new Professor of History. What I now remember is the
powerful impression this chance encounter made. He seemed
so young, yet so self-assured. There was an air of authority
about him, yet also a kind of almost boyish diffidence. I
marvelled at the way he asked a library attendant for the books
he wanted, courteous, undemanding yet authoritative. I did not
speak to him; I had no reason to: but then and there I knew that
he was a very unusual man and that somehow I must follow
him. He was a master - I must become his pupil.
My impulsive decision to read history simply because I thought
that Hancock would be an inspiring teacher was, on later
reflection, both rash and ill advised, but I never regretted it.
The expectations I had formed of hard work and stimulating
teaching in my new studies were not disappointed. Hancock's
lectures on the Tudors were all I had hoped for. One short
series he gave on the love affairs of Queen Elizabeth is still fresh
in my memory. The lectures were highly entertaining and at the
same time, a useful introduction to the importance - and
intricacies - of dynastic diplomacy in Elizabethan politics.
It is characteristic of Hancock that the first group of honours
students he taught in Adelaide were put to the study of the
SIR KEITH HANCOCK K.B.E.
European Renaissance and Reformation and not the
Risorgimento, which was his special field. He had just
published his Ricasoli book - among Italian scholars it earned
him the cognomen "II Hancock". It is also characteristic that
never heard him refer to this book, nor did he set it for study in
any of his courses. He gave me a copy in 1933 inscribed
"C. R. B. from W. K. H. with best wishes". He told me that it had
scarcely sold a few hundred copies in spite of laudatory
reviews. He said that in 1928 he was teaching himself the
period we studied and that he kept only a few books ahead of
his pupils. I doubt this: but he certainly said it.
There were no formal lectures. Five of us, including Lewis
Wilcher who went on to become a Rhodes Scholar and Dean
of Trinity College Melbourne, met in Hancock's room where
we read the essays we had prepared. These were discussed by
the group and commented on by Hancock. No marks or grades
were assigned, though at times a sharply critical comment
made you aware that you had not done well.
Hancock's room itself was in a basement at the rear of the main
University building. It was quite large and although partly
underground was reasonably well lit. In the late afternoon, the
Western sun flooded every corner of it. The room was chaotic.
The Hancocks had no permanent house or home in Adelaide.
They moved from place to place, always in rented dwellings,
sometimes in places difficult to reach. I recall one house they
had in the Adelaide Hills. It was reached by train, but from the
station to the house you had to be conveyed by a man with a
horse-drawn cart. The University room therefore was their only
permanent place. It was a dumping ground for household
impedimenta, as well as a professor's office and study. At one
time Theaden (Mrs Hancock) was building a large wooden
dresser, which had pride of place on one wall: a large bookcase
contained Ricasoli documents and books: there were boxes of
books, boots, fishing and skiing gear, sheets, blankets, pictures
and pillows scattered in confusion and disorder.
How Hancock did the work he did - in that year he was
working on his book on Australia - in this abode, passes
understanding. He did not seem ever to have even a proper
desk or table. I saw him often sitting on a low stool, typewriter
on his knees, tapping out an article or a chapter of a book. He
had no filing system, no card index, no evident means of finding
anything at all. Yet in spite of this seeming chaos, he was never
at a loss. Theaden was at times angry with him in their many
arguments at what she called his "infallible nose for facts': "He
is always wrong, damn him", she would say, "but he always
knows the facts". That room, however, contained treasures for
us. We saw for the first time the lively colour of pictures by
Gozzoli - Hancock had several large reproductions
prominently displayed. It was in that room that I first saw a
reproduction of Piero della Francesca's Resurrection - to my
mind one of the most moving pictures ever painted. It was not
Hancock's way to lend his books, but he did lend me his copy
of Rachel Annand Taylor's 'Leonardo the Florentine' newly
published then and very exciting.
In 1930 Hancock offered a short course of lectures for the
Honours group on political philosophy. He began with the
Politics of Aristotle, made brief surveys of Hobbes and Locke,
and included Machiavelli of course, both the Prince and the
Discourses. He also drew attention to the De Monarchia of
Dante. The course ended with works of two 19th century
British philosophers, T. H. Green and Bosanquet. It fell to my
lot to read the essay on Bosanquet. It was lengthy and dull, but I
don't think I deserved the castigation I got from Hancock for
that effort. He found it insufferable and said so. I had put hours
of work into it and was mortified, "Don't worry", he said, after I
had made my vexation plain, "I dislike Bosanquet as much as
you do" - but he put it much more idiomatically and tersely. "I
think he is a bit of a shit too". It was during these lectures and
consultations that he would sometimes take two or three of us
to a nearby pub, to continue the talk over a glass of beer. He
always paid. We rejoiced in these occasions; few of us in those
days ever ventured into a pub, let alone to drink beer in the
presence of a Professor!
8

One good piece of work that Hancock did in the Depression
years was to agitate for help for the Public Library which had
been sadly neglected. He set about campaigning for funds and
started a Friends of the Library movement. It attracted good
support from the Adelaide Establishment which had many
enlightened members.
None of us as students were admitted to the dining clubs he
organised among his friends in his Adelaide years. They were a
very select circle; but I heard about some of them and had the
minutes of one - The Society for Reforming the Ten
Commandments - for a while. This club held ten meetings. At
each dinner a paper on a Commandment was read, either
supporting it or rejecting it. A single blackball removed the
commandment. One was accepted in an amended form 'Thou
shalt not covet anything of thy neighbour's except his wife'.
Another was 'The Society for Pissing against Banks' whose rules
meant that after dinner each member had to find a bank and
piss against its walls. To be caught meant expulsion. After this
the party got together to listen to a paper against the Capitalist
Society. How Hancock recruited members for this society from
among Adelaide's grave citizens, I don't know; but I did know
one of the members and was amazed that he should have
joined. A tribute to Hancock's persuasive charm.
I saw a great deal of the Hancocks in the years before he left
Adelaide for Birmingham in 1933. I was one of the little band of
runners and paper chasers in the Adelaide Hills which he
formed. Others were J. M. Garland, Economist; Denis Garrett,
Botanist; Geoffrey Leeper, Chemist; John Bald, Plant
Pathologist and Phipps, a Geneticist. We began our run at the
Waite Institute and finished there with copious afternoon teas.
We conducted paper chases, took part in many ingenious
games of Hancock's's devising and at times went for exercises
which he liked especially - all night walks through the hills,
with large breakfasts at country hotels in the mornings.
Whenever we stayed or breakfasted at these little hotels, he
would always ask to be allowed to go to the cellar to look for
old bottles of wine. He sometimes found one or two and was
delighted. One I recall, we opened and drank part of outside
the hotel at Meadows. It was dreadful. Hancock stood up after
taking a swig and demanded "Ye little hills - why do you skip?".
The nearby fields at that time were covered by large
mushrooms, which we gathered freely.
He was perhaps a precursor of gamesmanship. He knew all
about the art of winning without actually cheating. One of his
favourite games was Circles. It could be played anywhere with
a rope stretched between two posts for a net. A heavy rope
quoit was used to throw between the players. It was a simple
game but he used it with devastating skill to confuse and baffle
his opponents. He threw with great force - but side stepped
attacks from the enemy. He complained bitterly if they seemed
to take an advantage. He wanted to win and almost always did.
We thought he cheated but it could never be proved.
He was a tricky hare to hunt in Hounds and Hares. Once we
followed his paper trail of the very edge of the Silver Lake at
Mylor and then it was gone. We searched and searched but no
trace could be found on this or the farther shore. We gave up
and went from the lake hoping to find him elsewhere. He had
gone into the lake, submerged, breathing through a straw and
he stayed there, until we, baffled, had gone. Then he came out
and taunted us because we had lost his trail and had not
thought of such an obvious solution.
When the time came for the Hancocks to leave Adelaide in
1933, I was deputed to look after and dispose of such of their
effects as they could not or did not wish to take with them. I
remember that I was told to give a copy of Marie Stopes
'Married Love' to the celibate professor of classics and other
books to other people. Some special treasures I was asked to
look after and to bring with me, for with Hancock's help I was
enrolled at the London School of Economics, to begin a
research programme there early in 1934.
The Hancocks welcomed us to England. I heard him give his
splendid lecture on Machiavelli in Modern Dress to the
Historical Association in Birmingham in January 1935. He was
working furiously at that time on his great Survey of the
Commonwealth. I was mystified that he should choose to work
on that and to neglect the big book on Nationalism which I
knew he had in mind. Hancock knew that he had chosen
wisely. He told me that the 1000 pounds sterling he was paid for
that book was the only substantial money he had ever got from
his literary work - it bought them their first house.
After I came back to Adelaide in 1935, I wrote to him often and
got back many welcome and valued letters. Among them was
one which created a sensation in Australia, when I read
excerpts from it over the A.B.C. network in 1940. It was later
published as a leaflet by the Department of Information, and
did much, I think, to lift morale in those dark days.
One of the saddest times I remember was when I saw Theaden
and Keith in 1960. They lived in a house near the University in
Canberra, near where a memorial fountain for Theaden is now
to be seen. Theaden was very ill. I was allowed to see her only
briefly and knew that she was dying. Keith was almost beside
himself with grief. He raged up and down the house shouting at
his cat, 'Felice, Felice'.
Most of the letters I had from him then and subsequent
correspondence are in the library of the National University in
Canberra. I hope that these letters will be useful to the writer
who undertakes his biography.
Over many years, I had from him help, inspiration, guidance.
think it one of the most fortunate days of my life when a
chance encounter led me to learn from him. He is the greatest
man I ever met. VALE.
The Shakespearean Dinner
The Trinity College Theological School once again organised a
mid-winter evening of medieval splendour on Friday, 28th July
1989. Much thought had gone into the guests' period attire to suit
the dinner's Shakespearean theme. Julius Ceasar, Hamlet and
Portia were all present, and arriving guests were ushered to their
tables by a most formidable witch. The smaller part of the choir of
Trinity College enthusiastically provided the evening's
entertainment, singing and playing music ceaselessly.
Many thanks to Jan Joustra, all members of the Theological
School and the choir whose time and effort made this annual
fund-raising event such a success this year. The meal was terrific
and thoroughly enjoyed by all, and the Hall looked stunning,
decked out in banners, fragrant herbs and candles. The by now
traditional Medieval Feast is a much recommended night out to
bear in mind for next year.
Enjoying the Shakespearean Dinner are the REVEREND Dr John
DAVIS ('76), recently appointed Rector of St Matthew's Albury
and the Right Reverend John Hazlewopd, Bishop of Ballarat.

Golden Anniversary of Russell
Clark's Ordination
Photographed at his Golden Anniversary were Mrs Eirene Clark,
Russell Clark, and his brother Manning.
On Sunday 12 March 1989 the parish Church of St John's
Camberwell was crowded for a thanksgiving Eucharist in
celebration of Russell Clarke's fifty years as an ordained priest.
There could be few Anglican priests in Melbourne so widely
known, respected, and loved. He was Senior Student in Trinity
immediately following the time of the great Buttery incident of
1933. Relations between Dr Behan, the Warden, and the student
body were then at an all-time low. It was in large measure due to
Russell Clark's personal qualities of genuine care for everyone
concerned that the College rose again to be the happy and
creative place it has been for most of its history. Many Trinity
members of those days remember the pre-eminent place in
College life occupied by Russell and his outstanding cricketing
brother, Manning.
At a gathering after the service last March, Russell spoke with
typical affection and warmth of his wife, Eirene, who now works
as a Librarian in Trinity College, and his distinguished historian
brother. "We are a close family," he said, "and we are very
affectionate brothers, Manning and I. The only things we do not
talk about are Religion and Politics. The reason, of course, is that I
know far more about both than he does." He went on to speak
lovingly of their sister, Hope, who spent five years on the list of
"death imminent" while the two brothers were in their final year
at Trinity. Hope went on to make a complete recovery, aided by
the heart-felt prayers of many in the College and beyond, and by
those who took her to Brighton where she recovered the use of
her limbs by learning to swim. And no praise could be too great
for the devoted support of Eirene, a partner in all aspects of
Russell's life and work.
The service in St John's was a true Trinity occasion though the
range of people represented was far wider than the College. The
sermon was preached by Bishop Bob Butterss (1949). Very much
in evidence were Archdeacon Stan Moss (1946), the Reverend
Geoffrey Moorhouse (1932), Archbishops Robert Dann (1943),
and Sir Frank Woods, and the present Warden.
Russell Clark was ordained priest by Archbishop Head in St Paul's
Cathedral Melbourne on 20 February 1939.
He then served as a curate at Christ Church, Brunswick, where
many Trinity Theologs at the time spent Friday mornings learning
from him, and St Andrew's Brighton.
This was followed by six years of service as senior chaplain in the
Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). During his time as RAAF
chaplain he served in Australia, the United States and Papua New
Guinea. He has also served as Vicar in the parishes of St John's,
Croydon; Christ Church, Brunswick; Holy Trinity, Hampton; St
John's, East Malvern; and St John's, Camberwell. He was vicar of
the parish of Camberwell for 16 years.
Since his retirement from full-time ministry he has been anything
but inactive. In the last twelve years he has served 36 parishes in
a locum tenens capacity. He is now on the staff of St John's
Homes for Boys and Girls and is also a canon of St Paul's
Cathedral, Melbourne.
For 17 years he was Chairman of the Victorian branch of the
Australian Board of Missions (ABM). He has been a member of
the Councils of Melbourne Church of England Grammar School
and Melbourne Church of England Girls' Grammar School. He
was also a member of General Synod for 20 years and chaplain to
the Mothers' Union in the Melbourne Diocese.
Trinity College rejoices in the celebration of fifty years of Russell
Clark's ministry. It has been said that he knows half the people in
Melbourne and that the other half all know who he is. We are
grateful that he continues to come frequently to the College and
that Eirene still gives outstanding service to our Library. Russell
and Eirene celebrate their golden wedding anniversary in two
years time.
RECITAL BY TRINITY'S
PIANIST-IN-RESIDENCE
Miss Tsou Nan Chien, Pianist-in-Residence at Trinity College,
gave a recital on Friday, 21 July 1989, in the College Hall.
The varied program featured Spanish and Argentinian dances by
Manuel de Falla and Alberto Ginastera as well as an intermezzo
by Granados in the first half. These rarely heard pieces were
eloquently introduced by Roger Sworder, and passionately
played by Tsou Nan Chien.
The second half of the program was devoted to more familiar
works by Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin, again performed
competently and with great enthusiasm.
An appreciative audience demanded an encore to the official
program and enjoyed the opportunity to meet the artist after the
recital and discuss the performance over port, coffee and cakes.
The Hall was candle-lit, and dramatic Spanish drapery provided a
suitable background for the beautiful pianist and her art.
It was a most enjoyable evening's entertainment and a wonderful
contribution by Tsou Nan Chien to Trinity's cultural life.
For those who missed the recital, the Spanish and South
American pieces performed that night are available on Tsou Nan
Chien's first commercial release, entitled "The Latin Muse". The
cassette is available from record stores, or via the Trinitiana office.
Please contact Ms Gerlinde Scholz.

WARDEN AWARDED HALLAM PRIZE
The Warden, Dr Burge, has returned to academic pursuits in
his spare time, studying for a B.Lit. at the University of
Melbourne. At the end of last year he was awarded the A. D.
Hallam Memorial Prize in Hebrew. We congratulate the
Warden on this addition to his academic achievements.

Sally WEBB ('83) left for England in mid-April with the hope of
continuing her experience and studies in art, perhaps at the
Courtauld. For the past year she has been working at Ebes
Douwma Antique Prints and Maps in Bourke Street, and has
written several articles in this area.
Donald McMonigle
The news from the north-east of Victoria is that Canon Donald
McMONIGLE ('76) has been appointed the new Dean of Holy
Trinity Cathedral, Wangaratta. He will take up his new tasks on
September 29, 1989.
Don is currently the rector of Albury, N.S.W. Last year the Albury
parish at a special fund-raising dinner for the Theological School
pledged $47,000. More than half of this has already been
received. This will endow a studentship for tuition fees for
ordinands from the Diocese of Wangaratta.
Earlier this year Don was awarded the degree of Master of
Theology for his study of "The Diaconate in the Anglican
Tradition". Since Don grew up in the Wangaratta area, this will be
something of a home-coming. The former cathedral chorister
returns as Dean.
Nicholas GELBER ('77) married Josephine Wridgway in 1985.
They have a son, Alexander, who was born early last year. Nick is
the Radiology Registrar at St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, and

exams.
Genine WALLINGA ('77) married Kent Charles Bishop (known as
Casey), from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on April 15, 1989 at St
Hilary's Church, John Street, Kew. Genine met Casey in
Leningrad while travelling on a bus tour in Russia in 1986, as a
result of which she subsequently spent six months living in
Canada. Casey migrated to Australia at the end of 1987 and they
plan to live in Australia, although they will obviously be spending
a great deal of their hard earned income travelling to Canada on a
regular basis.
Margaret GILLESPIE ('78) is now working as a lawyer in New York
