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 />

4 TRINITY IN THE 1930s<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 />

Students<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)

symposium entitled "Archbishop Cranmer, 1489-1556", held<br />

at <strong>Trinity</strong> in July 1989 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of<br />

Thomas Cranmer's birth. Professor Breward edited the symposium<br />

to which the Warden contributed and which was published<br />

by the Prayer Book Society.<br />

We also gratefully received a number of books from the estate<br />

of F F C Knight.<br />

BEQUESTS TO THE COLLEGE<br />

7<br />

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 />

UK citizenship after the war. He never lost his attachment,<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 />

came up in 1935 and read Arts. Later in life, he took up<br />

residence in Surrey, England. But he did <strong>no</strong>t forget his <strong>Trinity</strong><br />

the late Lillyan May Bakes. Lillyan Bakes was born in<br />

Yackandandah and trained as a nurse. She owned private<br />

hospitals in Western Victoria, <strong>no</strong>tably Koroit. She retired to<br />

Carnegie and worshipped at St Peter's, Murrumbeena, where<br />

Bishops Hollingworth and Newell grew up and where Bishop<br />

James Grant was curate. Her estate was shared between <strong>Trinity</strong><br />

and the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta. In accordance with<br />

her wish the funds are to be used for the training of Anglican<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.


OBITUARIES<br />

9<br />

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 />

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 />

"It's <strong>no</strong>t where you start it's where you finish" -<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 />
