Higgins Shield. The photograph below shows the crew about to cross the finishing line.<br />
This win, following weeks of dedicated training, began what was to be a most successful year for <strong>College</strong> sport, culminating<br />
in the Cowan Cup for overall performance in men's sports. The women who will soon have their own rowing trophy named<br />
in ho<strong>no</strong>ur of <strong>Trinity</strong>'s Olympian, Margot Foster ('76), also made a sterling effort. A more detailed report is found on page 13.<br />

Dear Reader,<br />
The sporting and musical life of <strong>Trinity</strong> blossomed this year.<br />
Many <strong>College</strong> students were in<strong>vol</strong>ved in a wide variety of ways<br />
in a two-week season of "See Saw", an exciting and remarkably<br />
professional production of Cy Coleman's musical.<br />
An important factor in regaining the Cowan Cup was the<br />
sustained effort of the Football Team. <strong>Trinity</strong> reached the final<br />
for the first time in twenty-five years, and then went down to<br />
Newman by seven goals after a hard-fought game.<br />
As Dean, Mary Chapman is making an impact upon <strong>College</strong><br />
life, with her enthusiasm, energy, and concern for student<br />
welfare. Her professional interest in landscape architecture has<br />
provided <strong>Trinity</strong> with on-the-spot expertise in this area and the<br />
<strong>College</strong> is already reaping the benefits.<br />
The first compact disc made by the <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> Chapel<br />
Choir was released at the end of August. The recordings were<br />
made at the end of last year when the Choir was under the<br />
direction of Professor Peter Godfrey and include Carols, Psalms<br />
and Anthems - the title of the compact disc. Details for ordering<br />
are on page 3. The recording would make an ideal gift as well<br />
as being a permanent memento of Peter Godfrey's time at<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong>.<br />
Dr Christopher Dearnley is <strong>no</strong>w very much at home as Peter<br />
Godfrey's successor. He and his wife, Bridget, have endeared<br />
themselves to the members of the <strong>College</strong> community.<br />
The Warden travelled in one week to Dublin and back during<br />
May for the celebrations of the 400th Anniversary of <strong>Trinity</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, Dublin. He returned through America where he<br />
attended a small and delightful Fleur-de-Lys Dinner hosted in<br />
their New York apartment by Philip Cohen ('66) and his wife,<br />
Jill. In San Francisco he stayed with former tutor Mary Perrett<br />
(' 80) and her husband, Peter Gage - a most enjoyable reunion<br />
and a relaxing preparation for the long trans-Pacific night<br />
flight.<br />
We are delighted with the response from readers telling and<br />
showing us how the <strong>College</strong> used to be. Warm thanks to<br />
Professor Rod Andrew ('30), Dr David Jackson ('32) and Dr<br />
Peter Pockley ('54) for their contribution to this issue.<br />

TRINITY IN THE 1930s 3<br />
LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />
Dear Madam,<br />
The photograph you published in the <strong>Trinity</strong> Newletter, January<br />
<strong>1992</strong>, of <strong>Trinity</strong> men (including me), obviously up to <strong>no</strong><br />
good, identifies our bull as a horse! It was Commencement<br />
week. Suitably disguised, by courtesy of the J C Williamson<br />
wardrobe, we were off to the Block, Collins Street, for merry<br />
japes; Anderson (housewife), Juttner (magician), Detheridge<br />
(toreador) and Andrew (entrepreneur). The Bull was activated<br />
by Oddie (anterior half, but I have forgotten who was arse-end<br />
Charlie). The group therefore was distinguished by a rudimentary<br />
Juttoddie component.<br />
Melbourne was tolerant 60 years ago of our drunken, loutish<br />
invasion of Collins Street where we "performed"; Detheridge<br />
fought the bull to a bloody end, but of course intensive care was<br />
at hand in the "Australia". An earlier case of "Kids on the<br />
Block".<br />
As extras in the Jock Behan drama of those days were the<br />
<strong>College</strong> cows which allowed him to bask in a bucolic fantasy<br />
and save on the milk bill. The bull paddock whence we got our<br />
milk; the swap of cows with Queen's <strong>College</strong>; the episode of<br />
their cows fed onion weed etc. were sub-plots. Encroachment<br />
of his horrid herd by Jock on our narrow acres inspired me to<br />
draw for the Fleur-de-Lys (October, 1931) an Awful Warning<br />
"Will It Ever Come To This?" This is <strong>no</strong>w part of the un-level<br />
playing-field for the annual Juttoddie.<br />
For those sceptics who found it hard to believe that such a rustic<br />
scene could thrive on a campus of a big city, I believe Dr<br />
Johnson had the right advice "Truth, Sir, is a cow which will<br />
yield such people (sceptics) <strong>no</strong> more milk and so they have<br />
gone to milk the bull".<br />
Anyhow it's all bull dust.<br />
Yours truly,<br />
ROD ANDREW (1930)<br />

Juttoddie steeplechase 1933<br />
This photograph shows Vincent Youngman ('31), resplendent<br />
in black academic gown and bowler hat, clearing one of the<br />
obstacles in the Juttoddie steeplechase. In the background to<br />
the right can be seen Naughton's Hotel, a familiar watering<br />
hole also for today' s students. Dr N V Youngman later became<br />
a distinguished Brisbane psychiatrist and is <strong>no</strong>w retired, living<br />
on Mount Tamborine, Queensland.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> in 1934 from the Behan roof<br />
This photograph taken from the Behan roof in 1934 shows the<br />
Leeper building on the left, the tennis courts and the Bulpadock<br />
together with "The Urge" parked under the tree. "The Urge"<br />
was a 1912 "Metallurgique" which provided motorised transport<br />
for the <strong>College</strong> Eight. The old Wilson Hall of the<br />
University can just be made out on the skyline.<br />
We thank Dr David Jackson ('32) who has kindly presented to the <strong>College</strong> archives a set of historic photographs. Dr<br />
Jackson practised for many years in Brisbane and achieved distinction in his medical career as a paediatrician. He has<br />
<strong>no</strong>w retired.<br />
Dr Jackson tells us that cars were rare among undergraduates in the thirties and in 1934 the Crew found itself without<br />
one. Peter Parsons ('32) remembered an old family car that was on blocks at Geelong. It was a 1912 Metallurgique<br />
(hence the name "The Urge") and was painted a faded dark green. It had very narrow tyres and was copiously endowed<br />
with brass - radiator, headlamps, etc. The wonder was that it would go at all, but it never let the crew down.<br />
It had a Dicky seat and Dr Jackson believes all eight could crowd in. Perhaps the coxswain had to walk. The old fabric<br />
hood was in tatters, so in wet weather umbrellas were put up which produced an effect like an oversized tortoise.<br />
It used to roost under the trees in the Bulpadock. Does anyone k<strong>no</strong>w of its final resting place?<br />
JUTTODDIE <strong>1992</strong><br />
The Friends of <strong>Trinity</strong> Committee under the Chairmanship of<br />
Antony Grage ('59) worked tirelessly in arranging the splendid<br />
luncheon on the Bulpadock immediately prior to the Juttoddie<br />
races. Unfortunately the heavens then opened, which meant<br />
that the diners as well as the competitors finished wetter than<br />
usual!<br />

WHO ARE THESE MEN?<br />
5<br />
The only person identified in the above photograph published<br />
in "The Age" on 25th July, <strong>1992</strong>, is "a youthful Peter Pockley".<br />
The identity of the other <strong>Trinity</strong> men in the photograph, which<br />
was taken by Peter' s father, Robert Pockley, was <strong>no</strong>t revealed!<br />
Do you k<strong>no</strong>w who they are? It may <strong>no</strong>t be obvious from the<br />
photo but everyone was loyally wearing the <strong>Trinity</strong> "uniform"<br />
of tweed jacket and <strong>College</strong> tie.<br />
The photo accompanied a front-page article by Peter recalling<br />
events in 1956. Peter and a small group of <strong>Trinity</strong> men who<br />
were studying engineering and science were charged with<br />
managing the Olympic flame.<br />
Rehearsals had given the <strong>Trinity</strong> men the precise timing of Ron<br />
Clarke's ascent of the stairs to the "burner". Unfortunately he<br />
took slightly longer on the opening day than during the rehearsal,<br />
with the result that in the few extra seconds the gas<br />
accumulated in the top of the "bunsen burner". On ignition, the<br />
explosion virtually threw Ron Clarke from the stool on which<br />
he was (unk<strong>no</strong>wn to the public) standing.<br />
"The Age" did <strong>no</strong>t publish the shot taken by Peter Pockley of<br />
Ron Clarke staggering away from the impact of the ignition<br />
with the stool tumbling after him! (See photo below)

FREDERICK FALKINER CLIVE KNIGHT (9 14)<br />
F F C Knight who died on 14th April this year always remembered<br />
his old <strong>College</strong> during his life and likewise helped to<br />
provide for <strong>Trinity</strong>'s long-term future by leaving a legacy of<br />
$30,000 to the <strong>College</strong> fulfilling his commitment to the Bequest<br />
Program. Frederick Knight's photograph fittingly appears<br />
on the front cover of the <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation<br />
Bequest Brochure. Over the years, he donated many valuable<br />
law books to the <strong>College</strong> library. At the time the photograph<br />
was taken Knight was probably the oldest living member of<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> and was pictured talking with the Warden, Dr<br />
Evan Burge, and the youngest member of the <strong>College</strong> at that<br />
stage, Poul Grage (' 85). The <strong>College</strong> is deeply grateful for his<br />
support and his bequest.<br />
MELVILLE MACPHERSON SMITH ('24)<br />
Melville MacPherson Smith entered <strong>College</strong> in 1924 to read<br />
Law. Possessing a friendly temperament, he was popular with<br />
his contemporaries, participated in intercollegiate athletics and<br />
football and was k<strong>no</strong>wn as Mel. He showed a continuing<br />
loyalty towards the "dear old Coll", becoming President of the<br />
Fleur-de-Lys in the late thirties. Mel left a proportion of his<br />
estate for the general purpose of the <strong>College</strong> and that fine gift<br />
has <strong>no</strong>w been received in full.<br />
SIR PETER GARRAN, KCMG ('28)<br />
Sir Peter Garran died in London in July, 1991, at the age of 81.<br />
Sir Peter joined the British Foreign Service in 1934 and took<br />

however, to his old country, Australia, and the <strong>College</strong> is<br />
delighted to have been included amongst the beneficiaries of<br />
his estate.<br />
WILLIAM BALCOMBE GRIFFITHS, OBE, MC<br />
('28)<br />
William Balcombe Griffiths, who died on June 18th, 1991, had<br />
a distinguished architectural career and was decorated for his<br />
War service. Warmly supportive of <strong>Trinity</strong>, Balcombe was<br />
proud that his two granddaughters followed in the <strong>Trinity</strong><br />
tradition. His legacy to the <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation, a final<br />
expression of affection, was most gratefully received.<br />
WILLIAM JOHN COLLINGS BANKS ('35)<br />
Hailing from St Arnaud, the late William John Collings Banks<br />

OBITUARIES<br />
THE REVEREND DR ALEXANDER<br />
LIVINGSTONE SHARWOOD ('25)<br />
I was about ten years old when I first met the Reverend<br />
Alexander Sharwood. He was riding a bicycle, cassock tucked<br />
up in his belt, past our front garden in the Brisbane suburb of<br />
Clayfield, when he stopped and invited me to join St Colomb's<br />
church choir. Although I was attracted mainly by the biscuits<br />
he said would be served after choir practice, his invitation had<br />
an incalculable effect on the rest of my life.<br />
My religious development and formation followed from being<br />
in the choir. It was enhanced through Father Sharwood's<br />
systematic presentation of the essentials of the faith and his<br />
own sincerity and personal commitment. My interest in<br />
theology and sense of a call to the priesthood go back to this<br />
time.<br />
I began university studies in science, but came to see that my<br />
interest lay in Latin and Greek. I was permitted to enter<br />
Beginners' Greek, which had already been going for seven<br />
weeks. It was to Alexander Sharwood that I turned. In one<br />
night he covered page after page with declensions and the<br />
complete conjugation of the Greek verb. My passion for<br />
classics, like those for church music and theology, has never<br />
abated.<br />
From St Colomb's Clayfield, Alexander Sharwood was appointed<br />
Warden of St John's <strong>College</strong> in the University of<br />
Queensland, and had the task of establishing it on its new St<br />
Lucia site. He remained there for seventeen years, the first of<br />
three Wardens from <strong>Trinity</strong>, and presided over a continual<br />
expansion of buildings and numbers of students.<br />
Like Sir John Behan, Warden during his formative years<br />
(1925-27) in <strong>Trinity</strong>, Alexander Sharwood was too much of a<br />
scholar and brilliant intellect, and also too shy, to excel in good<br />
student relations. Those students with the discernment to seek<br />
him out as a teacher, confidant, confessor or scholar were<br />
amply rewarded.<br />
Alexander Sharwood showed early brilliance by becoming<br />
Dux of Ivanhoe Grammar School at the age of fourteen.<br />
Because of his youth, he then spent two years at Melbourne<br />
Grammar, where his interests changed from Science to Humanities.<br />
At the University of Melbourne and in <strong>Trinity</strong> he<br />
studied classics, graduating by the age of twenty and being<br />
awarded an MA the following year.<br />
In that year, 1928, he entered Keble <strong>College</strong>, Oxford, to study<br />
theology. He also studied church music, especially singing and<br />
plainsong, at the Royal <strong>College</strong> of Music in London. His<br />
theological studies were completed at St Francis' <strong>College</strong> in<br />
Brisbane, where he was later to teach a variety of subjects,<br />
especially Music and New Testament, for many years. He also<br />
lectured in Religious Studies in the University of Queensland.<br />
Recognition of his academic prowess was the award of a<br />
Doctorate in Theology from the Australian <strong>College</strong> of Theology<br />
in 1955. Until his illness in the last year of his life, he<br />
remained in<strong>vol</strong>ved in teaching, working as a correspondence<br />
tutor for the General Board of Religious Education.<br />
In mourning his death when he was approaching eighty-five<br />
years, I give thanks to God for one whose influence upon my<br />
life and others' was so great. I would also like to think that, in<br />
God's providence, Alexander Sharwood has given back to<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong>, where he was a shy and academically brilliant<br />
undergraduate sixty-seven years ago, far more than he received.<br />
EVAN L BURGE<br />
JOHN BRISBANE HARPER, OBE<br />
('31)<br />
John Brisbane Harper, who died on 7th April aged 81 whilst<br />
going to work, was a life-long supporter of <strong>Trinity</strong>. After<br />
taking degrees with ho<strong>no</strong>urs in the faculties of Arts and Law,<br />
he joined the firm of Arthur Robinson & Co (<strong>no</strong>w Robinson &<br />
Hedderwicks) and was a partner for fifty years. Highly<br />
regarded, he was decorated with an OBE in the sixties for<br />
service to the Council for Legal Education of which he was<br />
Secretary for forty years.<br />
STAN Moss<br />
His three sons, David ('63), Richard ('65) and Jeremy ('70)<br />
likewise distinguished themselves in <strong>College</strong> and continue to<br />
do so in their careers. Just before his death John witnessed<br />
David's elevation to the Supreme Court Bench and John's<br />
grandsons Richard ('82) and Sam Staley ('85) are the beginning<br />
of the third generation of the Harpers to pass through<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong>.<br />
To the end John was holding high the Fleur-de-Lys by acting<br />
as Year Group Leader in the Annual Giving Program.

THE REVEREND DR JOHN<br />
ALEXANDER MUNRO ('40)<br />
Older members of the Canterbury Fellowship will be saddened<br />
to learn of the recent death of Dr John Munro after a long<br />
illness. From the mid-fifties into the early sixties, John Munro<br />
was Chaplain to the Fellowship concurrent with his work as<br />
Federal Supervisor of Religious Broadcasts for the ABC.<br />
It was under his chaplaincy that the Fellowship negotiated the<br />
move to <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> Chapel when St John's, La Trobe<br />
Street, was closed by the Mission of St James and St John. At<br />
the same time it changed its name from the St John's Fellowship<br />
to the Canterbury Fellowship.<br />
Dr Munro had previously been Dean of Ballarat, and subsequently,<br />
after parish work in Sydney, was the Chairman of the<br />
Australian Board of Missions. He serve ‘l as Rector of St Paul's<br />
Manuka, ACT, and later in the development of a curriculum in<br />
religious studies for Queensland schools.<br />
EDITED FROM CANTERBURY FELLOWSHIP NEWSLETTER<br />
THE VERY REVEREND<br />
SIR FRANK WOODS<br />
KBE, MA, DD, HON LLD<br />
(6 APRIL 1907 - 29 NOVEMBER <strong>1992</strong>)<br />
No-one who had the joy of meeting him will ever forget Frank<br />
Woods. His voice, like his handwriting, was instantly recognizable.<br />
His welcoming smile, his bright eyes, his unassuming<br />
manner, his ability to see to the heart of any matter - all these<br />
were facets of a true Christian, a great Archbishop and a sincere<br />
friend.<br />
After being enthroned as Archbishop of Melbourne on 19<br />
<strong>December</strong> 1957, Frank Woods presided over his first meeting<br />
of <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> Council on 11 April 1958.<br />
As a former Chaplain of <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Cambridge, his<br />
understanding of <strong>College</strong> life was profound and he was quickly<br />
at home in <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Melbourne. He presided regularly<br />
over the <strong>College</strong> Council despite an e<strong>no</strong>rmous load of other<br />
commitments. It was often observed by Wardens and Members<br />
of Council that his attention to the detail and the overall<br />
formation of <strong>College</strong> policy was worthy of a person able to<br />
give these things his undivided attention. In Council meetings<br />
his manner was both businesslike and gracious. He gave firm<br />
leadership in a way which inspired others to give of their best.<br />
As well as presiding over Council, Frank Woods supported<br />
and shared in many projects for the development of the<br />
<strong>College</strong>: the re<strong>no</strong>vation of old buildings and the erection of<br />
new ones, the separation of Janet Clarke Hall and <strong>Trinity</strong>, and<br />
the admission of women residents in 1974. He always took a<br />
special interest in the work of the Theological School. It is<br />
appropriate that his name will live on through an endowed<br />
Frank Woods Theological Studentship and the Frank Woods<br />
Lectureship.<br />
At the time of his retirement in April 1977, Frank Woods had<br />
completed nineteen years as President, the longest term in the<br />
history of the <strong>College</strong>. To three of <strong>Trinity</strong>'s five Wardens he<br />
was a friend as well as a wise and trusted counsellor. The<br />
<strong>College</strong> stands e<strong>no</strong>rmously in his debt. His contribution was<br />
recognized by his being made a Fellow of the <strong>College</strong> in 1977<br />
- a distinction he greatly valued.<br />
In giving thanks to God for his life, <strong>Trinity</strong> pays loving tribute<br />
to a saintly man of profound faith, clear intellect and indomitable<br />
spirit who cared deeply, affectionately and effectively for<br />
every aspect of the <strong>College</strong>'s life.<br />
"Well done!"<br />

OBITUARIES<br />
PROFESSOR EMERITUS SIR<br />
JOSEPH TERENCE BURKE<br />
(14 JULY 1913-25 MARCH <strong>1992</strong>)<br />
The following address was given at Sir Joseph's<br />
funeral at Mt Dande<strong>no</strong>ng on 30 March <strong>1992</strong> by the<br />
Warden, Dr Evan Burge. Sir Joseph was a Fellow of<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The phrase "a gentleman and a scholar" is<br />
a cliché, but I k<strong>no</strong>w <strong>no</strong>-one to whom it<br />
more aptly applies than Professor Emeritus<br />
Sir Joseph Burke, KBE, CBE, OBE,<br />
Ho<strong>no</strong>rary Doctor of the Letters of Monash<br />
University, Ho<strong>no</strong>rary Doctor of Laws of<br />
the University of Melbourne, Master of<br />
Arts of the Universities of London, Yale<br />
and Melbourne, Fellow of the Australian<br />
Academy of Humanities, and, for a remarkable<br />
term of thirty-two years from<br />
1947 to 1979, Foundation Herald Professor<br />
of Fine Arts in the University of Melbourne.<br />
The cliché, though apt, misses the<br />
essential humanity of the man and the<br />
affection in which he was held. His natural<br />
dignity, his unfailing sense of propriety<br />
and tact, his wide and deep learning,<br />
his eccentricities, sometimes irritating and more often endearing<br />
- <strong>no</strong>ne of these things cut him off from other people.<br />
I have been privileged recently to see a card sent to his wife,<br />
Agnes, Lady Burke. I shall <strong>no</strong>t embarrass the sender by naming<br />
him but he spoke for us all when he wrote<br />
"It was a great. privilege to k<strong>no</strong>w Joe - a great man,<br />
brilliant in his field and a brilliant orator. He had the<br />
great gift of being able to speak to humble people of all<br />
kinds and descriptions - including me."<br />
Yes, he was interested in us all. We loved his company and<br />
valued the encouragement he gave us. We rejoiced when he<br />
was fittingly ho<strong>no</strong>ured with a knighthood twelve years ago and<br />
we continued to think of him affectionately simply as "Joe".<br />
His curriculum vitae fills many pages and includes a host of<br />
institutions and causes as well as his books and learned articles.<br />
He was an ho<strong>no</strong>ured exponent and devotee of high culture,<br />
literary and artistic, and he could move easily in high society.<br />
He did <strong>no</strong>t disdain mingling with the famous or the wealthy but<br />
neither did they turn his head. Those with money could support<br />
genuine artists by buying their works - and one day perhaps<br />
they would bequeath their collections to be enjoyed by everyone.<br />
He had been Private Secretary to Clement Attlee when he<br />
was Prime Minister of England and he enjoyed being a member<br />
of the Melbourne Club. For all this, he was totally devoid of<br />
arrogance, pretentiousness or s<strong>no</strong>bbishness.<br />
Immigrant Greek or Italian taxi drivers would sometimes be<br />
invited in for a cup of coffee, encouraged with a few words in<br />
their native language, and shown pictures of great works from<br />
their own culture - Michelangelo or the sculptures from the<br />
Parthe<strong>no</strong>n, perhaps. They might also be given advice on some<br />
family or practical matter, such as how to arrange a loan.<br />
Welcomed in the language of Petrarch or Plato, they went away<br />
declaring in Australian that the Professor<br />
was "a bloody good bloke".<br />
Many of us have a collection of stories<br />
about Joe - looking for his glasses which<br />
could be in some improbable place or else<br />
in his pocket or even on his face. He was<br />
once run over near the University in the<br />
only fitting way - by a titled lady in a Rolls<br />
Royce. Fortunately he was <strong>no</strong>t badly hurt.<br />
At mechanical tasks he had <strong>no</strong> skill. He<br />
once tried to use his new plastic card in the<br />
automatic teller and saw it disappear into<br />
the machine. The manager was summoned,<br />
retrieved the card and helped him<br />
try again. Joe wanted to withdraw ten<br />
dollars. Twenty dollars came out. When<br />
he wanted to talk over some confidential<br />
matter with me we would both sit down. He would then stand<br />
up and stride around the room addressing me like a public<br />
meeting. At dinner parties he liked to preside. He was an orator<br />
- in the grand style which alas! has largely disappeared. Amid<br />
the grandeur, kindly wit would keep breaking out. No wonder<br />
his lectures were often crowded, sometimes to standing room<br />
only, for k<strong>no</strong>wledge, wisdom and humour are seldom found in<br />
such intoxicating measure in first-year lectures.<br />
His work, whether in the University, learned societies or the<br />
wider community, was based on deep convictions. He had a<br />
profound commitment to freedom and at least once remarked<br />
that Keats should have added freedom to truth and beauty as the<br />
qualities that are "all ye k<strong>no</strong>w on earth and all ye need to k<strong>no</strong>w".<br />
Keats omitted freedom, he surmised, in a poem inspired by<br />
ancient Greece, only because the metre did <strong>no</strong>t allow the extra<br />
syllables. Freedom was essential for a spirit of intellectual<br />
enquiry and for art to flourish. Freedom in turn demanded<br />
responsibility, of which an important manifestation was courtesy<br />
and good manners. "Temper and truth", he observed,<br />
"can<strong>no</strong>t share the same platform." How greatly we need to<br />
heed this lesson, <strong>no</strong>t only in our Parliament and public life but<br />
even in the University he loved and served so well.
OBITUARIES 11<br />
One could develop a theology based on Joseph Burke's ideas<br />
of truth, beauty, freedom and the importance of each unique<br />
individual person. Although I did <strong>no</strong>t ever hear him expound<br />
these concepts in theistic terms as deriving from a Source<br />
beyond them all, he was a regular worshipper in <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Chapel from 1974 to 1979 and then in the delightful church of<br />
St Michael and All Angels, Mt Dande<strong>no</strong>ng. He was an active<br />
supporter of the <strong>Trinity</strong> Theological School and cared greatly<br />
that theological students should <strong>no</strong>t lose the sense of a mystery<br />
which transcends time and earthly beauty. In praising the<br />
courage and integrity of Sir William Dobell in a lecture ten<br />
years ago, he remarked that "integrity is <strong>no</strong>t the cause of great<br />
art - the causes of great art are wrapped in mystery - but its<br />
essential condition". These are the words of a humble person,<br />
who stands in awe of the mystery of God, of human creativity<br />
and of the integrity of human beings.<br />
His friends were very important to him. They include many<br />
famous names - Dale Trendall, Fred Williams, Charles Bush,<br />
William Dobell, Russell Drysdale, Lord and Lady Casey, Una<br />
Fraser, Robin Boyd, Russell Grimwade and Colin Caldwell<br />
among them. Perhaps the dearest Australian friends of Joe and<br />
Agnes Burke were Sir Darryl Lindsay and Joan, Lady Lindsey.<br />
Sir Darryl it was who discovered him in Highgate after the war<br />
and telegraphed to Sir Keith Murdoch, who had agreed to<br />
endow the Chair of Fine Arts, "I have found him". Joe and<br />
Agnes spent their first hot Christmas with the Lindseys at<br />
Baxter, as the swallows were nesting under the eaves. Many<br />
other names could be mentioned - neighbours at Mt Dande<strong>no</strong>ng,<br />
colleagues in the University, friends from the Club, or the<br />
Boobooks, or the National Trust, or other committees. He also<br />
loved animals and <strong>no</strong>t least the dogs Rajah and Bo-bo.<br />
As a scholar, his abiding legacy is first his former students and<br />
colleagues whom he inspired and enabled. In many places,<br />
they carry forward the torch he kindled. Secondly, it is his<br />
articles and books, especially his works on Hogarth and his<br />
magnum opus, Volume IX of the Oxford History of English<br />
Art, 1714-1800. Less well k<strong>no</strong>wn is his devotion to good<br />
industrial design.<br />
"I believe Industrial Design to be the most important<br />
artistic cause of our time," he wrote ten years ago,<br />
recalling that this was the subject of his first publication<br />
in Australia in 1946, "because it determines ninetenths<br />
of our man-made environment. For this reason,<br />
I have made this cause the centre of my life' s work both<br />
in the Victoria and Albert Museum in England and in<br />
the Chair of Fine Arts at Melbourne."<br />
He looked forward to the day when manufacturing and commercial<br />
interests would be enlightened to the point when<br />
people of modest means could "buy well-designed furniture,<br />
furnishing fabrics and household articles of everyday use".<br />
Industrial Design, he saw, "is the key to a total environment of<br />
beauty".<br />
As well as sharing our sympathy in this time of loss, we would<br />
all like to pay a special tribute <strong>no</strong>t only to Joe but to Agnes.<br />
Agnes had the special grace needed to be the loving wife of a<br />
great man. He depended on her for so much. Large themes he<br />
handled with ease but for small practical skills and details he<br />
needed the help generously and unfailingly provided by Agnes,<br />
their son Rick and Rick's wife Helen. We are all in their debt<br />
and wish to assure them of our gratitude and love.<br />
Joseph Terence Burke, who was born on 14 July 1913 in<br />
Ealing, London, as the youngest of five boys, and who, while<br />
remaining English became a true Australian with a deep love<br />
and understanding of the varied aspects and moods of the<br />
Australian landscape and its intimate relationship with Australian<br />
art, was a fine scholar and a magnificent speaker. Above<br />
all he was a truly good man, who walked humbly with his God<br />
and his fellow human beings. We can never forget him.<br />

SPORTS REPORT<br />
13<br />
First semester proved to be a very successful one for <strong>Trinity</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> sport, especially for the men's teams. The men won<br />
four major sports, including swimming and athletics in which<br />
the men and women were combined over-all winners. An<br />
e<strong>no</strong>rmous amount of time and effort has been put in by all<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> sports men and women and the results achieved have<br />
changed the attitudes of other colleges towards <strong>Trinity</strong> teams.<br />
The first success of the year came with the men's rowing. The<br />
firsts, coached by Andrew Tulloch and captained by Andrew<br />
Nikakis was too good in its final against Ormond. It won by<br />
three quarters of a length with the crew's technique and fitness<br />
being telling factors. In the seconds' competition <strong>Trinity</strong><br />
finished second behind St Hilda's.<br />
Cox of the 1st VIII,<br />
Rob Heath, carried<br />
into the Dining<br />
Hall by the<br />
winning crew.<br />
The women's first eight was captained by Sarah Harris and<br />
coached by Rachel Haverfield. They were unlucky to draw the<br />
eventual winners, Queen's, for their heat and after a close race<br />
went down by a third of a length. They came third after a<br />
convincing win over Newman. The second eight finished third<br />
behind St Hilda's and Ormond.<br />
Our next success was in the swimming when the men's team<br />
retained its title and won for the second year in a row. Captained<br />
by Ashley Pocock, a well-balanced team managed to<br />
overcome valiant efforts by Ormond and Newman. This<br />
result, combined with the women's second placing, made<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> the overall winners.<br />
Our next success was in the athletics. The men's and women's<br />
teams, led by Sam Riggall and Nichola Lefroy and coached by<br />
Frank Henagan, were again overall victors. The men won<br />
convincingly by twelve points and the women came second to<br />
Ormond by a much smaller margin than last year. The<br />
competition saw outstanding individual performances by Sam<br />
Riggall, Bill Renwick, Ver<strong>no</strong>n Cook and Rosie Johnson.<br />
The women's <strong>vol</strong>leyball final between <strong>Trinity</strong> and St Hilda's<br />
was held on the morning of the athletics. <strong>Trinity</strong> made a great<br />
comeback from 2-0 down to force a fifth set but were unfortunately<br />
unable to overcome St Hilda' s counter-attack. The team<br />
looks strong for the future with talented freshers such as Paula<br />
Jenkins and Belinda Thomas.<br />
In the football this year <strong>Trinity</strong> adopted a new approach.<br />
Richard Grummet was appointed the new coach with Frank<br />
Henagan as his assistant. They trained the team hard (sometimes<br />
six times a week) and their tremendous personal commitment<br />
paid off once the competition started. For the first time<br />
in sixteen years the firsts beat Queen's. After a draw with<br />
Ormond and a loss to Newman, <strong>Trinity</strong> reached the final for the<br />
first time in twenty-five years. This was played against<br />
Newman but unfortunately <strong>Trinity</strong> went down by seven goals.<br />
Much credit must go to Blaise Danielson, our captain, and<br />
Richard and Frank, the coaches, all of whom put in a huge<br />
amount of time and effort.<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> came third in women's squash and tennis while the<br />
men's <strong>vol</strong>leyball and tennis teams came third and fifth respectively.<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> won the golf in style at Royal Melbourne,<br />
overcoming Ormond in a matchplay competition. The game<br />
was won on the twentieth hole by Ritchie Dodds with other<br />
wins by Angus Focken and Andrew Ar<strong>no</strong>ld.<br />
A determined Rugby team fought its way to the final only to<br />
lose, once more, by a narrow margin to Ormond. Bill Gillies<br />
was once again an excellent coach.<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> women are <strong>no</strong>w faced with a challenge to regain the<br />
Holmes Shield and so to equal the performance of the men, who<br />
thoroughly deserved the ho<strong>no</strong>ur of winning the <strong>1992</strong> Cowan<br />
Cup.<br />
Women's 1st VIII: Libby Chester (Cox), Melissa Merrin,<br />
Sarah Harris, Lyndal Walker, Caroline Kuiper, Sarah George,<br />
Emily Hardy, Nic Lefroy, Lucy K<strong>no</strong>x-Knight.<br />

14 COLLEGE PLAY <strong>1992</strong><br />
"Don Juan" by Molière<br />
Let me begin by saying I did <strong>no</strong>t really enjoy doing Don Juan. Well, who would? Just think of it - my being mauled in a jealous<br />
frenzy by five love-crazed girls; having them try to rip my clothes off in several long moments of wild passion; being forced to<br />
chase Lisa Bingham around the stage and then being fought over by two more beautiful women. Could you imagine anything<br />
worse? Hnunm, well maybe I did enjoy it!<br />
But seriously, Don Juan was a truly enjoyable production for all in<strong>vol</strong>ved and for this thanks must go to many people. First to<br />
our Director, Anita Punton, who worked so hard despite being in<strong>vol</strong>ved in the Melbourne University Revue. We had an equally<br />
enthusiastic production crew, headed by Sam Morley, Ralph Ashton, and Tony White. These three helped to make the show run<br />
smoothly for everyone concerned.<br />
Special mention must be made of the beautiful music of Nick Edwards. Given only<br />
the verses of Byron, with the vague direction that they must be Spanish in feel, Nick<br />
produced six songs and an overture which can only be described as masterpieces. Ably<br />
played by the musicians, Nick's compositions beautifully conveyed the feeling of<br />
Spain, perhaps even better than Andrew Lloyd Webber's Olympic theme did.<br />
There were a few more people who helped make Don Juan the success it was. Jules<br />
Lea created the beautiful sets, cleverly lit by Darren Kerr. Andrea Carr worked<br />
tirelessly creating Spanish costumes. Incidentally, this in<strong>vol</strong>ved having her hands on<br />
my pants mending numerous caver<strong>no</strong>us holes which appeared nightly to delight the<br />
audience.<br />
The publicity crew, which hung thousands of Dave Tan's posters everywhere<br />
imaginable, was responsible for eight full houses out of ten, making Don Juan one of<br />
the most successful plays at the University for many years.<br />

COLLEGE MUSICAL <strong>1992</strong><br />
"See-Saw" by Cy Coleman<br />
The <strong>Trinity</strong> musical, like the Play, has gone from strength to strength during the past decade. The productions are of a quality<br />
<strong>no</strong> other <strong>College</strong> can begin to match. "See-Saw" has an engaging and poignant plot and interesting music (well directed by Philip<br />
Nunn) but <strong>no</strong> memorable tunes. The success of <strong>Trinity</strong>'s production lay in the outstanding stage presence and singing of Miranda<br />
Barber, superb sets designed by Sarah George, colourful and effective costume changes and lighting, imaginative and disciplined<br />
choreography, and strong overall direction by Gregory J Keyes.<br />
Cast and production crew.<br />

TRINITY EDUCATION CENTRE<br />
15<br />
EXPANDS<br />
FOUNDATION YEAR PROVIDES IDEAL EDUCATIONAL<br />
EXPERIENCE FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS<br />
Following a year of consolidation in 1991, the <strong>Trinity</strong> Education<br />
Centre (TEC) is working closely with the University of<br />
Melbourne to prepare a steady flow of able overseas students<br />
for entrance into the undergraduate programs of the University.<br />
Foundation Studies, as preparatory<br />
courses for foreign<br />
students are called, are <strong>no</strong>w an<br />
established part of the Australian<br />
educational scene, with<br />
more than a dozen programs in<br />
existence. Most are conducted<br />
by universities, and are designed<br />
to boost both the size<br />
and the quality of the overseas<br />
student intake into the particular<br />
university.<br />
The <strong>Trinity</strong> Foundation Year<br />
is comparatively small in numbers,<br />
but is widely perceived<br />
as a quality program. The academic<br />
supervision of the University<br />
of Melbourne - especially<br />
the work of senior University<br />
staff who act as subject<br />
"shepherds" to advise on curriculum<br />
and examinations and<br />
to help the students with integration<br />
- is a major contributor<br />
to the academic standard of the<br />
program.<br />
The sixty-seven students enrolled in <strong>1992</strong> came from a wide<br />
range of Asian and Pacific countries and enjoyed their contact<br />
with the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The curriculum was expanded in <strong>1992</strong> with the introduction of<br />
a new subject "Computing and Information Management". A<br />
larger enrolment in 1993 - to a maximum of 100 students - will<br />
make it possible to increase the range of optional subjects.<br />
All of the 1990 and 1991 graduates of the <strong>Trinity</strong> program have<br />
been offered University or <strong>College</strong> places and are <strong>no</strong>w studying<br />
in more than twelve tertiary institutions throughout Australia.<br />
It is very gratifying that all the 1990 <strong>Trinity</strong> students who<br />
completed first year University in 1991 passed their year.<br />
"I have <strong>no</strong> doubt," says Dr<br />
Denis White, " that the Foundation<br />
Year provides the ideal<br />
educational experience for<br />
most overseas students who<br />
will require only one year of<br />
study before entering university.<br />
It is more like the start of<br />
university than the end of<br />
school. It provides the right<br />
kind of challenge and the right<br />
kind of study environment to<br />
help these students reach their<br />
full potential."<br />
Dr Denis White,<br />
Executive Director of<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> Education<br />
Centre, with a group of<br />
Foundation Studies<br />
students.<br />
Dr Denis White, Executive Director of the <strong>Trinity</strong> Education<br />
Centre, is a graduate of the University of Melbourne and has<br />
worked in the Department of Political Science. He is a former<br />
Warden of Deakin Hall at Monash University. At this stage,<br />
the Foundation Studies course is the only major program taught<br />
by the TEC, but other programs may be offered in years to<br />
come.
16 FOUNDATION REPORT<br />
In times of recession, fund-raising is always affected,<br />
sometimes severely. The needs are as great as ever,<br />
but the number of people who can help financially<br />
and the size of donation by those who can give are<br />
reduced.<br />
Despite this, the amounts raised in 1991 and thus far<br />
in <strong>1992</strong> show only a modest decline in comparison<br />
with previous years.<br />
As at 31st October $448,281 had been raised in <strong>1992</strong><br />
for the following areas:<br />
Endowment Fund $78,321<br />
Fire Protection & Security Fence $76,070<br />
Theological School $123,340<br />
Scholarships and Bursaries $60,090<br />
Specified Gifts $68,692<br />
General Fund $30,148<br />
Music Foundation $11,620<br />
MAJOR GIFTS<br />
The Major Gifts Committee under the Chairmanship of John<br />
Gourlay has been working to secure substantial gifts for the<br />
Foundation with a special emphasis on the named endowments<br />
within the general endowment fund. A goal of $10 million by<br />
the year 2000 has been set for the Endowment Fund to provide<br />
income in perpetuity for the <strong>College</strong>. To 31st October the<br />
Foundation's Endowment Fund stands at $208,000.<br />
ANNUAL GIVING<br />
Contributions for the Security Fence and Fire Protection have<br />
come largely from the parents of students while members of the<br />
<strong>College</strong> have been asked to help buildup the Endowment Fund<br />
through the Annual Giving Program.<br />
For the first time in <strong>1992</strong> we have had Year Leaders for the<br />
Annual Giving Program. We are most grateful to those who<br />
gave so much time to write personally to members of their year<br />
encouraging support of the Endowment Fund. The Year<br />
Leaders are listed opposite. Brian Loton ('50) was again the<br />
Chairman of the Program.<br />
