NEWMAN VOL. XXX NOVEMBER, 1948 

L uceat Lux Vestra 

']'HE College this year has rejoiced in congratulating the Very Reverend J. M. 

Murphy„ s.j., M.A., on completing on April 10 his twenty-fifth year as 

Rector. On April 12, formal and informal demonstrations of our gratitude 

and loyalty and affection were given to Father Murphy by the College assembled 

in Hall to entertain him at dinner. St. Mary's Hall, likewise, and the Old Boys 

have already offered their congratulations. 

It seems fitting, however, that the Club Magazine for this year should not 

merely report these events. In paying our tribute to the Rector, an attempt has 

been made to have set on record, at least in spirit and in outline, the story of his 

twenty-five years' rule. It is very ,nearly the story of the full life of Newman. 

We wish to thank His Grace the Archbishop, the Vice-Chancellor, and the three. 

former Presidents of the Students' Club who have graciously consented to say for 

us those things which we wished to say, but in saying which we should have 

presumed too much. 

We trust that any uneasiness which these pages may cause Father Murphy 

will be overshadowed by the tribute of our pride and joy. It is our sincere wish, 

as it must be that of every true Newman man, that his light may long continue to 

shine in Newman.

FROM THE MOST REVEREND D. MANN IX, D.D., LL.D. 

Archbishop of Melbourne 

Chairman of the Council 

I 

T seems only yesterday that the youthful Father Murphy took charge of 

Newman College. I learn with a shock that it is twenty-five years ago. 

He has grown enormously in academic weight and stature in the 

meantime. He has grown up; but not grown old; and that is a great 

advantage in his dealing with young people. 

I am deeply grateful to the Jesuit Fathers for two things: first, for 

having made Father Murphy's services available; and secondly, for leaving 

him in undisturbed enjoyment of a position for which he is so well fitted 

by experience and natural endowment. 

The Newman College Chapel will always be a monument to Father 

Murphy's unerring judgment and good taste. But he has another memorial 

of even greater worth in that body of university graduates moulded to 

his high ideals and fashioned under his genial, sympathetic handling. 

May the Jubilarian's wit and wisdom, his old world culture and balanced 

judgment long continue to rule and reign at Newman.

From SIR JOHN MEDLEY, 

Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne. 

ONE of the first letters of congratulation which I received after my appointment 

as Vice-Chancellor ten years ago came from the Rector of Newman. 

In it he wrote that I could always rely upon the availability to me of "such 

poor help as the Head of a College can supply to a Vice-Chancellor." I was very 

pleased to get the letter but, being almost entirely ignorant of the University 

of Melbourne and everything concerned with it, I did not regard it as much 

more than the kind of conventional expression with which one is inundated 

under such circumstances. I was soon to learn how mistaken I was. The Rector 

was a member of the University Council at the time, which brought me into 

contact with him more frequently than would otherwise have been the case, 

and I very soon began to realise that here was a man whose wisdom and experience 

of things in general, and the University in particular, I should do well to 

cultivate. I soon acquired the habit of seeking his opinion on all manner of 

subjects—a habit which I have never abandoned—and I shall always be profoundly 

grateful to him both for the counsel which he gave me on many occasions 

during the difficult months of my early apprenticeship and for his invariable 

help and kindness to me ever since. I have not always taken his advice, 

but I have always benefited by it. His special interests in the University have 

been connected with the Conservatorium—he is now Chairman of the Conservatorium 

Finance Committee—and the Press, the chairmanship of which he only 

recently resigned. In addition to these he has constantly served on Standing 

Committees of Council, and has been unwearying in well-doing as far as the 

general interests of the University are concerned. It is a pleasure to serve on 

a Committee with him. As Chairman he possesses in perfection that essential 

bit of technique which consists in knowing how to dissolve tensions by making 

a joke at the right moment. As member he is always helpful and constructive, 

and (nearly always) amenable to discipline from the Chair. We have had many 

mild arguments in committee on many points, and they have always ended with 

a heightened appreciation on my part of the invaluable qualities which he 

brings to the discussion of any question. His 25 years of Rectorship have seen 

many changes and developments within the University. He has played a part 

in many of them, and no historian of those years will be able to underestimate 

it. The relationship between the University and the Colleges in Melbourne 

is a remarkable thing, which holds in it elements of immense value to both 

sides. The Rector has most conspicuously contributed to the right development 

of this relationship, and I am grateful to the editor of the magazine for 

giving me this opportunity of paying a most sincere tribute to the work and 

the worth of a man whom I hold in the highest regard and affection. May he 

and Newman continue to flourish!

J. D. G. MEDLEY, 

Vice-Chancellor.

From HIS HONOUR JUDGE MULVANY, 

President, N.C.S.C., 1925, 1926. 

I 

HAVE been asked in this Jubilee Year of Father Murphy's Rectorship, to 

write, in the mercifully short space allotted to me, of my association with 

him, and in particular of the relations between himself and the Club during 

the years I was a student. 

When he came to the College in 1923 I had just cast off the odious character 

of a freshman and was luxuriating in the mature magnificence of a second 

year student. The student body at that time contained many men who were 

ever ready and indeed anxious to engage in any battle with authority. I regret 

to say that some were guilty of conduct which could not then, and I am 

sure would not now, be tolerated in any University College. 

Accordingly, the Rector had a formidable task in endeavouring to bring 

about a proper balance between the authority with which he was vested and the 

licence which a small section of the men desired. For a few years a struggle 

which at times was bitter and was always difficult was waged; but I surmise, 

as rumour at the time had it, that by the exercise of a judicious choice as to 

who at the beginning of a new year would find a place in the College, the 

forces of darkness ultimately were routed. Thus ended a most painful period 

of conflict throughout which trying time the Rector displayed, in my judgment, 

courage, determination, and exemplary patience. He laid then the foundation 

for the true relationship between the rectorial authority and the students 

which continued throughout my time. 

But there remained the task of defining the proper spheres of each. To 

the students it appeared necessary and desirable, subject to the acknowledged 

superior authority of the Rector, that they should have full and in some matters 

exclusive, control of their own affairs. The problem was, as in all ordered 

communities, to decide where the line defining powers was to be drawn. It 

fell to my lot as President of the Club for two years to assert on behalf of the 

students their rights as I saw them, against what I at times believed to be an 

unduly generous view by the Rector of his paternal powers and authority. Constitutional 

crises occurred quite frequently and at times feeling ran high about 

issues which in retrospect appear very small, although at the time they seemed 

large and vital. But each question was settled by amicable discussion, in which 

views on each side were stated frankly and sometimes forcefully, and a reasonable 

solution was usually found after negotiations conducted in accordance 

with the best diplomatic canons. 

I can say looking back over all the years that now intervene, that the Rector 

in his handling of issues which might otherwise have produced serious 

and perhaps permanent trouble, displayed wisdom, patience, diplomacy, and 

generosity. I think I can add that to such qualities the students in their turn 

responded. The best tribute to him that I know is that the men with whom 

these now dead controversies were conducted are still, after the lapse of twenty 

years, his firm friends.

JOSEPH F. MULVANY.

From C. G. HEFFEY, ESQ., M.A., LL.B., 

President, N.C.S.C., 1932, 1933. 

A 

BUILDING full of students does not make a University College. I see 

it as a work of art, for wherever it exists in full flavour it is invariably 

the product of some outstanding personality. Father Murphy has been 

the artist of Newman. 

This view of Newman's story makes it difficult for me to fulfil the Editor's 

requirements. The history of a work of art only begins when it is finished. 

There are no events while it is in the process of being formed, only the gradual, 

painstaking, loving moulding of the material by the artist. So was it with 

Newman in my time. The artist was at work making a University College. I 

was too close to the canvas then to realise what was going on, but I see it clearly 

in retrospect. There was some suggestion in the whisperings handed down 

that the Rector had had to struggle to establish himself as the artist, but at least 

from 1928 onwards he was free to devote all his time to the transforming of his 

material. 

Of importance, perhaps, was the adoption by the Club of the College 

colours for all purposes. It was not a revolution in 1932, but merely a formal 

recognition of the fact that for some time there had been only one loyalty at 

Newman, and that to the College—through the Club. This loyalty is indispensible, 

and is of the spirit. It is part of the Rector's achievement to have fostered 

it. 

There was genius in the persuasiveness, the flexibility and the restraint with 

which the Rector gained the acceptance of his ideals. The circumstances were 

made for impatience. He had come from Oxford with high standards, he was 

given a great task to nurse a new College into life, and he really was the only 

one in the place who knew what a University College should be. The things 

which look ridiculous to us now must have seemed ridiculous to him then. But 

he never treated the men as children; he did everything to foster in them the 

desire for responsibility and the faculty of making decisions. His was a longrange 

policy of permeation, a gradual and at the same time genial moulding of 

his material. I say that only a true artist with a true appreciation of the value 

of his work could have been so patient and tolerant and generous, in that his 

material was hardly suitable for his standards. Nearly all his students during 

the first twenty years came from homes where there had been no university 

experience. The Rector never lowered his standards; he set about changing 

the material. Because of his methods, Newman has grown up quickly. He 

has already great cause for content for, under his hand, he has seen the life of 

Newman become richer, its activities more varied and its Catholicism deeper 

and more vibrant. 

May I, on behalf of my contemporaries, express to the Rector our congratulations 

and our gratitude.

GERARD HEFFEY.

From F. A. R. MISELL, EsQ., M.A., LL.B., M.B., B.s., 

President, N.C.S.C., 1942. 

iio MNIBUS OMNIA" or some phrase like it came into my mind when I 

learnt, early in 1942, that the Rector would not only be guiding our 

destinies, but acting as host to the members of an R.A.A.F. Adminis- 

trative School. My thoughts went back to the quiet, uncomplicated days of 

the early 'thirties. The General Committee and the Rector were then agitated, 

sometimes bitterly, by problems about the choice and service of breakfast foods, 

the closing hour of dances and the offensive and defensive use of orange peels. 

Those were the problems on the ministerial plane, at times stirring passions to 

rebellion, but despatched with efficiency and charm leaving the Committee 

wondering at the genius which had bewitched them. At times, deeper, more 

personal problems of discipline, perhaps touching on tragedy, revealed to the 

Committee the priest prepared always for any sacrifice for the welfare of his 

individual students and his vision of an ideal. 

Now, I thought, the Rector is about to face his most difficult phase of 

government, involving foreign as well as domestic issues, likely to be intermingled 

in such a fashion as to try even him. It is sufficient to say that the 

situation offered several complicated problems. Had there been more flame 

and smoke it would have been obvious to all that the Rector "was in there doing 

something," but the bystander could only see that affairs went on quite smoothly. 

As one of his confidants, I could see with what energy and sacrifice he devoted 

himself to his task, and also what a price he was paying in constant thought and 

toil. As an aside, one may wonder how much he enjoyed his punishment. 

My years in College from 1930-5 had given me a certain impression of the 

average Newman man—he was casual, of course, on his mettle in sporting matters, 

ready to be amused rather than stimulated to thought, inclined to shock rather 

than to inspire, prepared, superficially, to scoff rather than to emulate. Viewing 

the Newman man ten years later, I have inclined to the belief that these qualities 

were completely superficial. "Tempora mutantur"—of course, but the complete 

reversal of the picture was too much to attribute entirely to war. The ideal 

Newman man, as I saw him, was in Newman during the war years, but he was 

merely the Newman man of the 'thirties who had stopped fooling. He had 

always been there if one had scratched the surface. It took me fifteen years to 

learn that—the Rector always knew it. 

The first hint of the student response was given in an informal meeting in 

first term. The issues were discussed in an atmosphere of seriousness not usually 

present at our meetings. Men formerly prone to rejoice in denunciation displayed 

their real feelings; they felt they were one with the Rector. The record 

of the following years really bound them together in a manner never before 

apparent. I knew that the Rector was aware of this, and that he accepted the 

union with gratitude as the most valued prize of his twenty-five years' stewardship. 

F. A. R. MISELL.

FATHER KELLY. 

When, at the beginning of the academic 

year, we returned to College, we were very 

sorry to find that Rev. Dominic Kelly, S.J., 

M.A., had gone to Canisius College, 

Pymble, N.S.W. We would all have preferred 

that declining years and weakened 

hearing had spared for us a man of such 

deep scholarship, of such vital interest in 

Newman. We miss the familiar figure on 

his bicycle, who had barracked for every 

Newman team in every inter-collegiate 

sport, throughout the entire twenty-nine 

seasons of our sporting history. 

Father Kelly came to Newman at the 

beginning of 1919 with a brilliant record 

as a scholar, which he maintained as a 

College tutor in Classics, French and German. 

He was a graduate of the Royal 

University of Ireland, having won first 

class honours with a studentship in Classics. 

He later studied in Holland, Belgium 

and Germany, and was for some time 

Classical Master at Clongowes College, Ireland, 

and later at Xavier. He was not the 

man to limit his talents; Science also 

claimed him. The 1935 edition of "Newman" 

contains two contributions by him: 

a botanical treatise on the gardens of Newman, 

and a mathematical analysis of the 

possibilities in poker. Before he came 

from Ireland, "Dom," as he was affectionately 

known, was interested in aerial 

photography. He always cut his own 

pipes. A musician, he was director of, and 

keenly interested in, the Chapel choir. For 

recreation, he turned to chess, billiards and 

detective stories. Yet all this did not prevent 

our recognising a priest of profound 

holiness with a high reputation as a confessor. 

As priest, scholar and man of Newman, 

his place will be hard to fill. We are sure 

that a man of his sanctity, humour and 

varied interests will be happy in what, we 

pray, will be many years of peace in retirement. 

1948 

[ 7 } 

We welcome to Newman Rev. Bryan 

Buxton, S.J., B.A., who, though set such 

high standards by his predecessor, is proving 

by his support of the College, in all 

her activities, and by his ability as a tutor 

and lecturer in Scholastic Philosophy, no 

unworthy successor. 

JUBILEE. 

The tenth of April this year was the 

twenty-fifth anniversary of Father Murphy's 

undertaking the rectorial duties. On the 

morning of the twelfth he offered Mass in 

the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, in the presence 

of the Dean, Rev. B. Buxton, S.J., 

the Mother Superior and the Sisters of St. 

Mary's Hall. 

All the resident students of Newman, 

including the ladies of St. Mary's Hall, 

were present. The Mass was served by the 

President of the Students' Club, and the 

senior student, Mr. John Corcoran. During 

the Mass hymns were sung by the 

Chapel choir and the choir of St. Mary's 

Hall. 

That night saw great festivities in College 

when the Club entertained the Rector 

at dinner. The senior student rose to propose 

the toast of congratulation on behalf 

of the Club. Father Murphy, said Mr. 

Corcoran, had come to Newman, a Jesuit 

scholar of rare repute, to preside over a 

University College filled with exuberant, 

and at times boisterous, young men. To 

have presided for so long with such vigour, 

such understanding and such unrelenting 

enthusiasm was no mean achievement. 

During his twenty-five years of 

moulding this Newman of which we are 

so proud, the Club's relations with him 

could never have been termed dull. The 

unexpected was always likely to happen. 

There may have been difficulties, but when 

the honour of the College was at stake, the 

Rector had always been at our side. He 

had been at our side, too, in times of finan-

cial need. In our personal affairs no less, 

he had always been ready to give ear to 

our troubles and to lend invaluable advice. 

In short, so much had Father Murphy 

done for Newman and so high was 

his ideal for the College that the greatest 

tribute that we could pay to him, concluded 

Mr. Corcoran, was to resolve to 

live up to that ideal—if we succeeded we 

should be distinguished Catholic gentlemen. 

Reverend Albert Power, S.J., M.A., 

Father Murphy's predecessor, had come 

from his sick bed to offer his congratulations. 

He heartily endorsed Mr. Corcoran's 

remarks, and said how greatly honoured 

he was to be present on such an 

occasion. 

It was left to the President to present 

the Rector with a more material tribute 

—a tea service. 

Then Fr. Murphy himself rose. He 

showed how deeply touched he was by 

these expressions of appreciation. In a 

characteristically witty speech he said that 

he had always taken what he considered 

to be the fairest and most long-sighted 

view. He vehemently urged that Newman 

adopt no isolationist policy, but must be 

in the forefront of University life, for 

"Newman College as such is the ultimate 

in Victorian education in that it provides 

the stamp of culture and learning, combined 

with the strongest influences for the 

perpetuation and strengthening of our 

Catholic faith." 

The pervading note of pleasant informality 

was typified by a student rising to 

his feet and calling for three cheers for the 

Rector. The dinner ended most appropriately 

with the dome echoing to "Men 

of Newman." 

THE CLUB CONGRATULATES: 

Bernard Shillito, on being elected President 

of the Club for the year; and last 

year's President, Peter Murphy, on being 

made an honorary life member of the 

Club. 

[ 8 ] 

Anthony Cosgrave and Kevin Coleman 

on being elected to the Students' Representative 

Council. 

In the academic field, Max Charlesworth 

for sharing the Laurie prize in 

Philosophy; Eugene McCarthy for winning 

a Special Scholarship in the Law of 

Contract; Frank Greene for winning the 

John Madden Exhibition in the Law of 

Wrongs (Civil and Criminal); Frank Mc- 

Ardle gained second place in Physiology 

and Biochemistry (Second Year Medicine), 

and Tom Stack second place in Anatomy 

(third year). John Mulvaney gained first 

class honours in both General History I 

and Ancient History II; Gareth Moorhead, 

first class honours and second 

place in both Latin I and Greek I, Frank 

McHugh was placed first in Agricultural 

Biochemistry. At Mildura branch, John 

Anchen gained first class honours and 

second place in Physics. 

In the world of sport we congratulate 

Kevin Dillon, Tom Prior and Bill Waterstreet 

for being. awarded University Blues 

in Football, Boxing and Rugby respectively 

for 1947. 

The Club also congratulates those who 

shone in Inter-'Varsity sport this year: 

Bernard O'Brien was a member of an athletics 

team which visited Sydney, where he 

pole vaulted and threw the javelin; Kevin 

Coleman ran in the 100 and 220; John 

Anchen in the 440—all were placed. Brian 

Brophy was undefeated in tennis; Patrick 

O'Sullivan played full-back for Melbourne's 

Rugby team. Jim O'Hara visited 

Adelaide with the Hockey team, Kevin 

Dillon with the Football team; Tom Prior 

went to Brisbane to Box for Melbourne 

in the heavyweight division. 

ENGAGEMENTS. 

Congratulations are extended to the following 

men, who announced their engagements 

during the year:— 

Dick O'Hanlon with Miss Joanne Jackson. 

Kevin Coleman with Miss Moira Shelton. 

Jim Cullen with Miss Jocelyn Buckland.

CENTENARY 

We felt very proud indeed on hearing 

the College mentioned in the cable of congratulation 

sent to the Archbishop by His 

Holiness on the occasion of the centenary 

of the diocese of Melbourne. During the 

celebrations we were without the Rector, 

who, in residence at "Raheen," was acting 

as secretary to His Eminence Cardinal 

Spellman. Father Murphy, ho we v e r, 

brought His Eminence, accompanied by 

His Grace the Archbishop, on an informal 

visit to the College. The Cardinal met 

some of the men in the lounge; he expressed 

admiration for the buildings, and 

especially for the Chapel. "Very fine 

campus," he was heard to remark. On another 

occasion Monsignor Fulton Sheen, 

also accompanied by the Rector, visited 

Newman. This famous preacher was the 

cause of many of us being seen grouped 

around the radio at odd hours, and of the 

College being deserted on Men's Night. 

ADDITIONS TO THE LIBRARY. 

During the year, thanks to the generosity 

of the Rector, several valuable additions 

were made to the College Library: 

the complete set (to date) of the All England 

Law Reports, Halsbury's "Laws of 

England" (37 vols.) and the Encyclopaedia 

of the Laws of England (14 vols.). Also, 

the late Dr. Herbert Moran has left to 

the College his valuable medical library, 

which includes many rare historical works. 

NEWMAN IN THE UNIVERSITY. 

At his Jubilee Dinner, Father Murphy 

encouraged Newman to be in the forefront 

of University life, for only thus can 

she be a living force in the University. He 

himself has set a good example by being 

so prominent in affairs on the other side 

of Tin Alley. The Newman men of this 

year have heeded his words. 

Anthony Cosgrave was Men's General 

Representative on the S.R.C. and Kevin 

Coleman the Law Representative. John 

Kearney was a Vice-President of the Law 

[ 9 ] 

Students' Society, and Eugene McCarthy 

was Treasurer. The former, together with 

Maurice Gilfedder and Brian Corby, was 

on the committee of the Newman Society 

of Victoria. Jim Cullen was on the committees 

of both the Arts Association and 

the Psychology Club; Gareth Moorhead 

was on the committee of the Classics Club. 

In sport, Kevin Dillon and Stan. Reid 

have played Football with the University 

Blacks; Brian Brophy (Secretary of 

M.U.T.C.) played "B" grade pennant Tennis; 

John Kearney, Leo Cleary and John 

Niall "C" grade. Tom Prior fought in the 

M.U. Boxing Club, of which he was a committee 

member; Gerald Caine, Tom Stack 

and Bernard O'Brien were active in the 

M.U. Athletics Club, the latter being on 

the committee; Patrick O'Sullivan played 

Rugby with the 'Varsity firsts, and Michael 

O'Sullivan with the seconds. In Hockey, 

Jim O'Hara played in the Al team, Terence 

Meade in A2, and Kevin McGuire 

in B2. 

ALBERT POWER DEBATING 

SOCIETY. 

The society tried to rouse itself from the 

lethargy that has been its mark for the past 

few years. But owing to the apathy of 

College men, both in unwillingness to debate 

and in a pitiful lack of support to 

the College in inter-collegiate debates, 

there was not much that could be done. 

However, more than twice as many 

debates were held in 1948 as in 1947. 

College debates included the freshmen's 

debate, and in second term, Messrs. O'Connor, 

O'Sullivan and Christie successfully 

supported censorship against Messrs. Moorhead, 

Hogan and Fogarty. Adjudicators 

were Messrs. M. J. Charlesworth and P. J. 

Mortensen, respectively. 

In the realm of inter-collegiate contests 

a strong Newman team, comprising Messrs. 

Coleman, Kearney and McArdle, defeated 

a team, of the William Quick Society at 

Queen's on the subject of the purpose of a 

University. The same team at Trinity 

were unsuccessful in denying that the principle 

of censorship be abandoned. The

committee for the year comprised Messrs. 

K. F. Coleman, president; F. G. Moorhead, 

secretary; and M. N. O'Sullivan. 

The Rector made the following awards: 

The Rector's Medal: Mr. K. F. Coleman. 

Improvement Prize: Mr. F. McArdle. 

Freshman's Prize: Mr. J. Kearney. 

THE CHAPEL CHOIR 

During the year the choir studied 0 Filii 

et Filiae, Adoro Te Devote, and a Benediction 

Service in plain chant; 0 Salutaris 

Hostia (Rev. S. Gates, 0.P.); Tantum Ergo 

Sacramen turn, and Adoremus in Aeternum 

(Dom Gregory Murray, O.S.B., F.R.C.O.). 

The choir sang together with the choir 

of St. Mary's Hall during the Jubilee Mass, 

alternately with the Hall choir during the 

weekly public Benedictions; and during 

the College Benedictions after dinner on 

first Fridays. 

The organist at the public Benedictions 

was a non-resident student, Mr. B. Fitzgerald, 

and at College Benedictions, Mr. 

M. G. Caine. The choir was directed by 

Mr. F. M. Greene. 

THE NEWMAN COLLEGE DRAMATIC 

SOCIETY 

The most notable event in Newman 

Dramatics for the year was "Traitor's Gate" 

—reported elsewhere. From the more 

fundamental aspect of establishing the 

Dramatic Society on a permanent basis, the 

most important step was its affiliation with 

the Students' Club. Though there can 

be no financial union, this affiliation will 

ensure that the Society will be closely allied 

with the Club and that the Club will be in 

a position to exercise some supervision 

over it. Most of the credit for this achievement 

must go to Peter Wister. With its 

position in the College thus clarified and 

defined, and with two successful plays, the 

[ 10 

Dramatic Society can look forward to a 

promising future. 

The College is grateful to Mr. Norman 

Wister for consenting to produce "Traitor's 

Gate", and for the extraordinary amount 

of time and the painstaking care which he 

put not only into rehearsals but also into 

the make-up and the construction of sets. 

This year's play took up so much of our 

time that very few playreadings could be 

held. J. M. Barrie's "The Old Lady 

Shows Her Medals", and Oscar Wilde's 

"The Importance of Being Earnest" were 

the plays chosen. 

The committee for the year comprised 

Messrs. F. William Shea, president; and 

Peter Wister, secretary; Misses Brenda 

Moore, treasurer; Maureen Christie and 

Sheila Burke, the latter being the nonresident 

member. 

SOCIAL EVENTS 

The Newman College Ball was again 

held at College in second term, thanks to 

the kindness of Father Rector. Unfortunately, 

he himself was prevented by illness 

from attending, and guests were received 

by the Dean. The Matron, Mrs. 

C. Staples, was also unable to be present. 

Reports of last year's ball apparently 

added to the attraction of this year's function, 

as there were very few resident 

students absent, and many Old Boys and 

non-resident students were entertained by 

Newman men. The ball was characteristic 

of all Newman social activities, and was by 

far the most popular event of the year. 

The Club thanks the secretaries, Messrs. 

J. W. Walsh, T. P. Banting, A. M. Dillon, 

R. B. Christie and M. N. O'Sullivan. 

Not quite so elaborate, but just as enjoyable, 

were the two Common Room Dances 

—one in first term, organised by Messrs. 

J. F. Niall and R. C. Lee, and the other in 

third term, by Messrs. J. A. Lyons and T. 

A. Prior.

GOLF DAY 

After great difficulties of organisation, 

the annual Golf Day was held at the Patterson 

River course on Monday, September 

6. There were no old boys present, owing 

to lateness of final arrangements and disapproval 

of the course; so there was a 

second golf day late in October for their 

benefit. 

At Patterson River, in a ninety-mile-anhour 

gale, Terence Meade won the College 

18-hole championship with a score of 99. 

The nine-hole handicap was won by Bernard 

Shillito, 52 (131), 381. In the afternoon, 

the four-ball best-ball against bogey 

(18 holes) was won by Bernard Shillito 

and Kevin Coleman, 5 up. Good rounds 

of 94 were recorded by Chris Jenkins, Frank 

Nagle and Terence Meade. 

The few who braved the elements had a 

very good time; and the Club thanks Kevin 

Coleman for arranging the course. 

DINNERS 

The Rector farewelled the final year 

men at the traditional Valete Dinner, held 

in October. 

The Students' Club decided to hold a 

Sports Dinner about the same time. 

INTERCOLLEGIATE BILLIARDS 

An intercollegiate billiards tournament 

was held this year. Despite the time, interest 

and cue-tips Newman spends on the 

game, we failed to win a match; our team, 

consisting of Messrs. Frank Nagle and 

Brian Feery, going down in glorious defeat 

at the hands of both Ormond and Queen's. 

The Students' Club thanks the Rector, 

in particular, for his generosity to the 

Dramatic Society, and for his promise to 

assist the Club in the production of the 

Annual Magazine.

THE MAGAZINE 

The Editor is indebted to the Dean for 

his advice and assistance in the preparation 

of this year's magazine. 

Costs of production have once more 

limited our contents, and two matters call 

for comment. The absence of general 

articles is due neither to changed policy 

nor to lack of contributors, and it is hoped 

that increased financial stability will permit 

"Newman, 1949," to continue a proud 

tradition. 

We have attempted this year to make 

the Old Boys' columns more complete, but 

information of interest is rarely available. 

We appeal to all Old Boys to send in to 

the Editor notes about themselves and 

their friends. Our finances, also, are becoming 

increasingly dependent on their 

co-operation. 

The Editor wishes to thank Dr. Eric 

Seal for his graceful sonnet, which appears 

on page 15, and all members of the Club 

who have contributed to various sections. 

The photograph of the Rector is by 

Athol Shmith; that of the President by 

Peter Fox; those of the College groups by 

Sear's Studios. 

To all members of the magazine committee, 

and to the Advocate Press, the Editor 

offers his sincere thanks for their unfailing 

co-operation. 

The Students' Club acknowledges receipt

I 

N June of this year the Newman College 

Dramatic Society gave two performances 

in the Union Theatre of Morna Stuart's 

"Traitor's Gate"—a play concerning the 

last years of Thomas More. 

The Dramatic Society has risen to 

heights far out of proportion to its age, 

which, for this year's production, is both a 

congratulation and a criticism. A congratulation, 

for with laudable ambitiousness 

and much success it attempted a play 

beset with countless difficulties, rendered 

even greater for a cast chiefly inexperienced. 

A criticism, because, in attempting 

such a play, the enjoyment they gave 

us was not so great as I know they could 

have given. 

In its early days the Dramatic Society 

was viewed by most College men with a 

natural scepticism. That scepticism has 

been replaced by a feeling of admiration 

for the enthusiasm of its organisers and 

members and for their ability—at times 

surprising. The Society is a new facet of 

College life, as yet perhaps not completely 

defined nor truly polished. Its members 

should always remember that it is not just 

a dramatic society, but that it is the Newman 

College D.S. They have, therefore, 

added responsibility: they must strive to 

achieve in the field of drama standards 

comparable to those achieved by Newman 

in other fields. 

The Society's Constitution allows its 

casts to include enrolled non-resident 

students of the College—a state of affairs 

so far unparalleled—and a word of warning 

would not be amiss. There is a danger 

that it may lose intimate contact with 

the Students' Club, and such a tragedy can 

be averted only by. College men devoting 

as much interest to their new undertaking 

as they do to those already long-standing. 

This year the play was "Newman" to 

the core. The scenery was made in the 

lower billiard-room, mostly by members of 

the cast; the costumes were of their own 

"crrditor*s Cate " 

[13 ] 

choosing, and the majority of rehearsals 

were held in College. The posters and 

programme cover were the work of a freshman, 

Desmond Belbin. Thomas More 

was played by Ian MacDonald, Thomas 

Cromwell by Brian Brophy, Lord Norfolk 

by John Corcoran. Miss Joy Youlden 

kindly consented, in an emergency, to 

take the important part of Peg Clement. 

Margaret Roper was played by Miss Elaine 

Copley, and Dame Alice More by Miss 

Maureen Christie. The play was produced 

by Norman Wister. Most of the 

arrangements were made by Peter Wister. 

Minor roles were taken by Peter Ryan, 

Peter Wister, Gareth Moorhead, Dan. 

O'Connor, Des. Belbin, Don. Quinlivan, 

Peter Penn and David Fogarty. 

I find it hard to understand how 

"Traitor's Gate" could have interested 

playgoers in London and New York for 

as long as it did. It is drawn-out, and 

in places the dialogue is very hard to fol- 

low. Its emotionalism is excessive, and, 

worse still, is of a religious nature. It is 

extraordinarily difficult on the stage to 

treat tastefully any expressions of piety, a 

recitation of the Anima Christi or worship 

of the Cross. 

The soul of poor Thomas More is laid 

naked before us — with questionable 

accuracy. We see nothing of his intellectual 

brilliance and but little of the humour 

which never left him. His very natural 

fear of pain is most unduly emphasised. 

The characterisation of More, therefore, 

had a false ring to it 

Some lines of T. S. Eliot's seem much in 

point as a criticism of the play in general: 

"A speech in a play should never appear 

to move us as it might conceivably move 

other characters in the play, for it is essential 

that we should preserve the position 

of spectators, and observe always from the 

outside though with complete understanding." 

—P. J. M.

Scholastic Philosophy Course 

THE year 1947 witnessed the beginning 

of an adventure in education 

at the College which may well prove 

to be a landmark in its history. For many 

years the authorities at Newman had been 

aware of the need of a course of lectures 

in certain subjects that would provide 

Catholics at the University with a broader 

and more balanced education than could 

be secured even by the most conscientious 

student of subjects in the University curriculum. 

The various teaching Orders have rendered 

a magnificent service in providing 

the structure of the primary and secondary 

education of which Catholics in Victoria 

are justly proud. For the young Catholic 

who passes beyond the secondary stage and 

undertakes a University course there is 

the Catholic college, whose aim is to provide 

a Catholic background for the highest 

studies. But even here there was felt 

the need of something more than the tutorials 

which had so far been provided in 

subjects belonging to various University 

courses. The Catholic student, like any 

other, had devoted the whole of his time 

to developing and advancing his knowledge 

of the cultural and technical subjects 

of his faculty, giving no time, or very 

little time, to the wider and equally necessary 

study of the fundamental truths of 

human life and of the Faith which distinguishes 

him as a Catholic student. In 

other words, he was left to develop his own 

philosophy of life and his adult Catholicity 

on the necessarily limited instructions received 

in Religious Knowledge classes at 

school. To meet the need caused by these 

conditions, occasional lectures on philosophical 

subjects had, in the past, been 

arranged by the Newman Society and provided 

by the College tutor in Philosophy. 

Late in 1946, however, the College authorities 

decided to begin in March of the following 

year a complete course in Scholastic 

Philosophy to be held at Newman College. 

The course is planned for the stud- of 

six major subjects over three years. Two 

[ 14 ] 

one-hour lectures are given each week during 

the first and second University terms. 

For the convenience of those unable to 

attend the lectures in the day-time lectures 

are repeated each week in the evening. 

Examinations are held in March of the 

following year. 

Scholastic Philosophy is the name given 

to a systematic study of the wide variety 

of subjects that have always interested the 

philosopher, ranging from the consideration 

of the position of universal scepticism 

to the sublimest truths about Almighty 

God. It is called "scholastic" because the 

body of rationally deduced truths with 

which it deals is a legacy from the synthesis 

made in the great schools of the 

middle ages. 

In the first year the two subjects are 

Logic (the science of correct thinking, the 

validity of knowledge, etc.) and Metaphysics 

(or Ontology, the study of being, 

substance, causality, etc.). In the second 

year Psychology (sense knowledge, emotions, 

intelligence, the soul, free will, spirituality 

and immortality of the soul) and 

Ethics (the science of good conduct, morals, 

the natural law) are studied; and in the 

final year Cosmology (the world: the physical 

properties of things, Time, Space, etc.) 

and Natural Theology (the existence of 

God, His attributes, etc.). All these subjects 

are studied by pure reason, and no 

appeal is made to Faith or Revelation in 

the proofs offered. 

Shortly before the commencement of 

this course a new Institute for higher 

studies had been established in the city 

under the patronage of His Grace the 

Archbishop. It is known as the Newman 

Institute. By an agreement with those 

resporisible for this venture the School of 

Philosophy established at the College has 

been included as one of the departments of 

the Institute, and with it now constitutes 

the nucleus of a wider plan for the extension 

of higher Catholic education. One 

result of this association is that the lectures 

at the College are attended by large

numbers of the Catholic laity who are not 

students of the University. 

In the first year, 1947, about seventy attended 

the lectures in Logic and Metaphysics; 

this year the same number are 

taking Psychology and Ethics. It is interesting 

to note that some non-Catholics are 

also enrolled in these classes. 

We are only at the beginning, but al- 

THE VISITATION 

She plucked a solitary wayside flower, 

Which, throughout all the winter's barren 

gloom, 

Had hoarded, deep within earth's frozen 

womb, 

Its patient strength, till from her skiey 

tower 

Spring reawakened, leapt at last to dower 

With quickened life each seed, unbarred 

its tomb 

And wooed with soft caress the fragile 

bloom 

—Pervading all the air with subtle power. 

Blessed flower, thou hadst that happy day 

no art 

To cheer the lonely traveller on her way, 

Yet could thy silent hymn of gladness 

bring 

Tidings of purest joy to her whose heart 

Bore such a precious load, who, day by 

day 

Drew nearer to her own tremendous Spring. 

[15 ] 

ready there are signs that this new course 

provided at Newman will not only supply 

the answer to a long-felt want at the University 

itself, but will also advance the 

cause of Catholic education at the University 

standard.

T. B. SHILLITO (1941, 46-8). Our 

genial and popular President for 1948. His 

success in office was only to be expected 

from the rich and varied talents we saw 

in private. T.B.S. was, to use his own 

inimitable Air Force lingo, a "clue-man," 

achieving much as the Club's diplomat-inchief 

and Business Manager of the Magazine. 

An ardent supporter of the College 

in all her undertakings, he showed the 

same enthusiasm in his lesser loyalties— 

which included Geelong and the E. Malvern 

Hockey Club. He was an omnivorous 

reader, from whodunits to High Court 

judgments, an authority on Affairs of State, 

angling and games of chance. An unsentimental 

bloke with a quizzical smile, he 

mixed farce and subtle wit to the delight 

of all his friends; yet the infectious bonhomie, 

the genius for conviviality, did not 

conceal from us the solid integrity of his 

character. 

B. J. BROPHY (1945-8). A man of unfailing 

good nature and honesty of purpose. 

He combined with his studies a 

variety of activities: was elected to the 

S.R.C. in '46, active in N.S.V., and did 

much for inter-collegiate tennis (he is secretary 

of the 'Varsity T.C.). He capped 

his College career with a capable performance 

as Cromwell in "Traitor's Gate." 

K. F. COLEMAN (1947-8). A man of 

infinite jest and a first-class legal brain. 

Generous of nature, he became a legend 

during his brief career in College as a tremendous 

orator and an incomparable raconteur. 

Ski-ing, the S.R.C., Law Students' 

Society, Revue ("Cackle and Corn") 

were some of his interests. He brought 

honour to Newman in Athletics and was 

'Varsity Sprint Champion this year. One 

of our most colourful personalities for 

some time—a delight to the Editor of 

"Taboo." 

Valete 

[ 20 ] 

J. M. J. CORCORAN (1943-8). Rose 

to the position of Elder Statesman amongst 

us. Urbane and witty, generous and effervescent, 

there was never a dull moment 

in John's company. He enjoyed life immensely 

and helped others to do the same. 

A pleasure to dine with, he helped to keep 

alive the noble tradition of College Suppers. 

Genial, good natured and enthusiastically 

loyal; a great ladies' man, socially 

sought after. Smoked an occasional cigarette. 

He was a keen G.C. member and 

prominent at General Meetings. A valuable 

ruck and a splendid mark, he represented 

Newman also in Tennis and Cricket. 

Was perfectly cast as Lord Norfolk 

in "Traitor's Gate." 

J. S. CULLEN (1940-1, 47-8). A pioneer 

in the field of Psychology at the University; 

alarmed us occasionally when we 

found we were guinea pigs for his experiments. 

Was a man to be reckoned with 

on the dance-floor—at times we thought it 

was part of his Aths. training—but of late 

he seems to have mellowed under the restraining 

influence of another hand. Has 

represented the College in Athletics on 

several occasions. One of those who had 

small success in copying Lourey's system. 

K. R. DILLON (1943, 46-8). A blunt 

man, but not a plain one. Independent, 

highly original and full of pranks, even 

the turn of his phrase was unpredictable. 

His smile and his scowl were equally colourful. 

Among his loves were driving and 

flying, and he showed the same courage and 

dash in the centre as at the wicket. A natural 

sport, he gave Newman spectacular 

service in Football, besides being awarded 

a Blue for inter-'Varsity work and playing 

regularly with the Blacks. Even said to 

have dabbled in fishing! A good friend 

and hard worker, he has in him, as yet 

untried, most of the qualities of a leader. 

Should do well in a Big Business.

allot

I. FAIRWEATHER (1946-8). Though 

his College career was unspectacular, his 

cheerful personality will be missed. One 

of the hardest workers in College. A 

gentleman whom we will be sorry to lose. 

K. G. FITZPATRICK (1945-48). A keen 

but unassuming student with an outstanding 

academic record. Those who knew 

him well saw in him a man of many parts. 

His favourite interests were music, literature 

and the Women's. He will be missed 

by those of us who enjoyed his pleasant 

hospitality, his gentle but titillating conversation. 

F. L. HENNESSY (1945-8). An amiable 

engineer, hard-working and conscientious 

in all things. He represented Newman in 

Athletics and in Rowing, where he was a 

tower of strength, not only as an energetic 

committee-man, but as Stroke of the '48 

crew. He concluded an honourable college 

career with good service as Treasurer. 

J. KEARNEY (1948). His stay in College 

was all too brief. A gentleman of 

unusual wisdom and maturity; friendship 

with him was a privilege, and an education. 

K. G. LOUREY (1946-8). Sole inventor 

and proprietor of a famous and muchenvied. 

system. Quiet and unassuming, he 

was well liked by all and the object of 

despairing admiration for his powers of 

work. 

D. J. O'CONNOR (1945-8). Earned the 

name of The Iron Man for his remarkable 

stamina in Athletics. One of those rare 

men, whose good humour was in evidence 

even at breakfast. He was a great enthusiast 

in the N.S.V. and all College activities, 

not least this year's play. 

[ 21 ] 

B. P. PENN (1944-8). Had a touch of 

the jester about him. He persisted in unfailing 

good humour and refused to be 

shaken by any occasion, always maintaining 

himself and his aplomb magnificently. 

He helped the College in many ways, particularly 

on the G.C., and was always behind 

the College in everything it did. 

P. J. RYAN (1943-8). One of Newman's 

most outstanding sons for many years, he 

brought prodigious enthusiasm to a remarkable 

variety of interests. Between 

lectures and clinics he made time for Philosophy, 

especially Psychology, literature 

and the classics of the sacred authors. Unusually 

well read, at times the depth and 

complexity of his thought were too much 

for his fellows. He liked to say that while 

he was taught at the University, he received 

his education at Newman; yet of few 

can it be so truly said that he gave as much 

to Newman as she could give to him. He 

was a great companion and a brilliant conversationalist, 

witty and gleeful, whether 

the occasion was a dinner-table discussion 

about the Irish or talks far into the night 

on anything and everything for which supper 

provided an excuse. He took leading 

roles in the plays, edited "Taboo," skied 

with elan and barracked with a patriot's 

fervour. Never too busy to help you— 

all the College were his friends—he would 

give up his last cigarette. 

F. W. SHEA (1947-8). Of F. William 

it could truly be said that he possessed the 

artistic temperament. -Sartorially striking, 

he had a deep-seated appreciation of cars, 

comfort and good food. In fact, he loved 

most of the good things of this world. 

Never seen in a hurry. . An authority on 

music of both kinds and a regular playgoer; 

he himself gave a memorable performance 

as the Hungry One in "The 

Staircase."

St. Mary's Hall, 1948 

HE elections of the Senior Student, 

June Aitkin, and the general com- 

mittee, Maureen Christie, Judith 

Montague and Helen Gibson, marked the 

beginning of activity at St. Mary's Hall, 

1948. 

The usual Freshers' Welcome, which 

followed soon afterwards, was the first of 

our social events. 

Much interest was aroused by the reorganisation 

of the Newman College 

Dramatic Society early in the year. 

Maureen Christie and Brenda Moore represented 

us on the committee with legal 

advice, and some of our enthusiasts 

initiated important changes in the Constitution. 

This great burst of fervour in 

the first term culminated in a reading of 

"The Old Lady Shows her Medals", at St. 

Mary's Hall. Unfortunately, after the 

splendid effort of "Traitor's Gate" in June, 

the society languished. (Where are our 

constitutional enthusiasts?) 

The Annual Retreat, given by Rev. W. 

Clune, M.S.C., was held at the end of first 

term. 

Our tennis team—Judy Montague, Sally 

Seward, Shirley Newman and Anne Gilfedder—were 

once again runners-up in the 

Intercollegiate Tennis. We are grateful 

to the Rector and the men of Newman for 

allowing us to use the two new en-tout-cas 

courts for our matches. 

A cricket match between Janet Clarke 

Hall and St. Mary's Hall was played with 

great hilarity in "swot vac." 

Father Murphy was entertained at a 

formal dinner at St. Mary's Hall on the 

occasion of his Rectorial Jubilee. He 

received the congratulations and good , 

wishes of the Sisters and students. Some 

of the more talented among us entertained 

the Rector after the dinner. 

Throughout the year our choir has alternated 

with the men's choir in singing at 

the weekly public Benediction held at the 

Chapel of the Holy Spirit. 

An innovation which has much to commend 

it is the exchange of invitations to 

[ 22 ] 

social and sporting activities between the 

various Women's Colleges. 

The main event of second term was our 

annual At Home. Our numerous friends 

contributed to the pleasures of the evening, 

which were further augmented by excellent 

music and supper. 

The unusual presence of numbers of 

workmen about the Hall has indicated the 

erection of new music cells. These will 

be welcomed by students of all faculties— 

especially the non-musical ones, so we are 

told. However, the music students enjoyed 

pride of place when Auriel Garratt 

and Carina Flaherty gave the premiere 

performance of Bela Bartok's Rhapsodie 

at the Midwinter Concerto Concert at 

Melba Hall. 

Various changes have been made in the 

executive personnel of the Hall this year. 

During the absence abroad of Mother M. 

Frances—she left early in the year for 

Ireland as one of four Australian representatives 

at a World Chapter of the Institute 

of the Blessed Virgin. Mary—Mother M. 

Sylvester has acted as Superior. Mother 

M. Louis is still with us, but Mother M. 

Clare has left St. Mary's to become Superior 

of "Normanhurst," and we are pleased to 

welcome to our community Mother M. 

Assumpta. —H. M. G. 

Last year the Past Students' Association 

was founded, and already there is a considerable 

sum in hand towards a memorial 

to Mother Patrick. The first annual 

dinner was held on August 9, 1948, at 

Union House, forty members of all years 

being present. Special guests included 

Father Murphy, Mrs. G. W. Paton (representing 

Ormond), Miss Leeper (Trinity), 

and Miss Wadeson (Queen's). Speakers 

included Father Murphy, Mrs. Paton, Joan 

Strachan, Virginia Hoban, and Leslie 

Moorhead. Unfortunately, the President, 

Molly Winter, was prevented by illness 

from attending. The present 

students were represented by Judith Montague.

gatet-Colle9iate %oat 

THIS year may be regarded as a fairly successful one for Newman—at least in the efforts 

of our sportsmen on the field. Though the spirit and enthusiasm of the teams was 

outstanding, possibly higher than in previous years, the College as a whole did not 

give them the support, or even take the interest in their achievements which one would 

expect. Attendance at the Athletics and Tennis in particular was so poor that a stranger 

might well have doubted our numbers; and but little interest was shown in the practise 

matches which the various committees arranged. 

First fixture of the year was the cricket. Fitting in as much practise as possible, 

Newman fielded a side quite capable of winning the shield. The bowling and fielding 

of the side was strong enough to gain the title if only they had been supported by a little 

ability and enterprise in batting. Left only a moderate total by Ormond, we failed to 

get the required runs. 

The rowers displayed exceptional keenness, and it was disappointing to observe the 

attitude of some of the College to their performance in the first heat against Queen's. 

That Queen's were the ultimate winners of the Higgins Shield showed that our crew had 

done an excellent job. 

The standard of the Athletics is becoming very high. This year we again finished 

second to Ormond, but it was a good second—closer than in the past. 

The Football is a pleasant memory. We retained the Kenney Cup only by the 

barest of margins, but it was a great victory, full of the courage and determination which 

makes Newman. 

The Tennis victory, our first in twenty years, was one of which we have reason 

to be proud. The team, and particularly their captain, Brian Brophy, deserve our congratulation 

for the manner in which they practised assiduously throughout the year. It 

was pleasing indeed that such enthusiasm was so well rewarded. 

We congratulate our successful opponents—Ormond—in Cricket and Athletics, and 

Queen's in Rowing. 

Improving with every game, Newman 

fought back after their initial defeat by 

Ormond, to win again the coveted. Kenney 

Cup. The final game against our traditional 

rivals, Ormond, was Inter-Collegiate 

football at its best, and neither side wilted 

in a hard-fought last quarter. 

The spectacular forward work of the 

captain, Ken Phelan, was at all times an 

inspiration to the team, and he was ably 

seconded by the vice-captain, Kevin Dillon. 

A heartening feature of the series was the 

FOOTBALL 

[2 

consistent form shown by first year members 

of the team—giving promise of strong 

teams in the immediate future—whilst the 

Veterani, under pressure, produced the 

brand of football which seems to be peculiar 

to Newman. 

The team's success was in no small measure 

due to the tireless coaching of Rev. 

Father Gleeson, whose exacting training 

programme stood them in good stead in 

hard-fought finishes. The football committee 

consisted of Messrs. Phelan, Dillon, 

Caine, Reid and Smith.

NEWMAN v. ORMOND 

Ormond swept into attack from the 

bounce and, exploiting the loose man on 

the forward line, scored six invaluable 

goals in the first fifteen minutes of play. 

Newman steadied in the second quarter 

and, after the interval, attacked strongly 

through Magee, Phelan and Reid. A 

combination of inaccuracy and ill-luck 

forward prevented them from reducing the 

leeway, however, and Ormond still re- 

tained a comfortable lead at the change. 

Ormond closed their ranks and, despite 

grand work by Nagle and Dillon, won convincingly 

in a hard-fought final term. 

Ormond . .. 16.12 108 pts. 

Newman . .. 10.14 74 pts. 

NEWMAN v. QUEEN'S 

Newman began more speedily, but 

costly errors and rugged defence by Queen's 

prevented them from taking a commanding 

lead. Phelan made the most of his 

opportunities, but Newman lacked cohesion, 

and play see-sawed between the halfback 

lines. In the third quarter Queen's, 

playing dazzling football, broke through 

and kicked seven goals to Newman's one. 

Faced with a twenty-seven point deficit at 

the final change, Newman's chances of 

averting defeat appeared slim, and for 

some time they battled unavailingly against 

a strong defence. Richards was playing 

a magnificent game for Queen's. With 

less than half the quarter to play, Nagle 

drove Newman forward with unforgettable 

dash, and goals to Magee, Phelan and 

O'Brien levelled the scores. Newman 

threw themselves into attack again, and a 

long kick by Nagle was rushed through by 

O'Brien as the final bell rang. Phelan's 

five goals, Nagle's determination, and the 

refusal of the team lo admit defeat had 

given them a vital win.

NEWMAN v. TRINITY. 

With the prospects of entering the final 

at stake, Newman were out to build up 

their percentage, and once more defied 

tradition by beginning well. The effect 

of Corcoran's return to the ruck was immediately 

felt and, led by Caine, the backs 

had the Trinity forwards well covered. 

Newman increased their lead by intelligent 

forward work, and Phelan kicked accurately 

to make his tally six goals. Al, 

though Paskos was injured in the third 

quarter, Newman held a safe lead at the 

final change. Trinity, undaunted, fought 

back, and Potter, who had been subdued 

all day, scored brilliantly to restore interest 

to the game. Newman, however, regained 

control and ran out comfortable winners. 

Newman . .. 15.20 110 pts. 

Trinity .. 6.8 44 pts. 

FINAL: NEWMAN v. ORMOND 

With a defeat to avenge, the stage was 

set for a typical Newman-Ormond final. 

Both rovers, Paskos and O'Brien, were on 

the injured list, but Dillon was back in 

the centre and immediately made his presence 

felt. Kicking with the wind, Newman 

drove forward, and Phelan capped 

determined attacks with three goals, to 

give Newman a valuable lead in the soggy 

conditions. In the second quarter the 

defenders played brilliant football to nullify 

Ormond's wind advantage, and Newman 

appeared to have a firm grip on the 

game. Ormond, however, fought back in 

the third quarter, and gradually reduced 

their deficit. With Corcoran and Mc- 

Carthy rucking in inspired fashion, Dillon 

and Dooley brilliant across the centre, and 

the whole defence line playing shoulder to 

shoulder, Newman held their lead until, 

with a final burst, Ormond levelled the 

scores with only time-off to play. Newman , 

forced forward and Reid's long kick from 

a splendid viC-' a free in front gave them 

tory in a thrilling game. 

Newman .. 7.9 51 pts. 

Ormond .. .. 5.15 45 pts. 

—T. B. S.

H 

IGH HOPES were raised when Ormond, 

sent in to bat on an easy wicket, 

lost their five best batsmen by 

noon for 30. Jenkins and Nagle, the captain, 

accomplished this feat by steady bowling 

with an occasional really difficult ball. 

Lyons then routed the remainder of the 

side with hostile in-swingers, which rated 

him our best bowler. 

Our openers set out with great optimism 

to eclipse Ormond's 75. Phelan, forgetting 

inhibitions, was out on a scythe 

stroke after a promising 12. Dillon and 

Niall soon followed, but Meade, unfettered, 

played some sparkling shots before 

he, too, succumbed. Nagle was out when 

a chance, hard and high, to slip, was held 

magnificently. Donovan, batting competently, 

if uncertainly at times, carried the 

score to 82. Clarke made a most valuable 

stand of seven in 74 minutes. Doggedness, 

tenacity—these words do not convey the 

true spirit of an innings of which Godfrey 

Evans himself would have been proud. It 

was bettered only by a second innings, 

eight in 85 minutes. Our tail was soporific 

and did not wag; a lead of only 15 

meant a strenuous tussle ahead. 

Ormond's second venture with the bat 

opened with solemn grinding of teeth and 

determination to show that Inter-coll. 

matches can last 1000 minutes. A careful 

observer, however, could detect that 

the score mounted and that it was ominously 

high. With the openers gone the 

batting became gayer, and Rogers played 

some attractive and forceful strokes. Reid 

came to the rescue and was our star bowler. 

Overall honours went to Nagle in this 

sphere, for in both knocks he was dangerous 

and tireless. Ormond were dismissed 

for a total of 149. 

Phelan's designs on the Ormond clock 

again cut short a hand of plenty. Dillon 

and Donovan, both batting well, were out 

CRICKET 

[ 28 ] 

to superb catches, and we felt that the 

Fates might have spared one of them. 

Stubborn Clarke, and Niall inspired, were 

our over-night hopes. Alas! No rain fell 

and the end was rapid, like a knife-thrust 

in the balloon of our aspirations.

IN.. OR the third year in succession New- 

1 man embarked on the rowing train- 

ing with fair prospects of success, but 

once again, for the third year in succession, 

we were unfortunate in meeting the 

strongest crew in the heat. 

By the first week our finalised crew consisted 

of five of last year's members, the 

stroke and seven of our excellent '47 seconds 

and one newcomer. 

The seating was: Stroke, F. L. Hennessy; 

7, A. M. Dillon; 6, G. R. G. Prendiville; 

5, J. G. Crameri; 4, J. E. McCarthy; 

3, M. H. Oilfedder; 2, T. P. Banting; bow, 

M. G. Caine; cox, B. J. Feery. 

The training was carried out in a very 

rigorous style under the guidance .of our 

coach, Mr. R. J. Daffy, who gave willingly 

much time and energy to the task. Numerous 

long rows and severa 1 time-trials 

helped to develop the timing, swing and 

spirit to a stage where we were confident 

of reaching the final. Our rows against 

other crews showed that we should be 

right in the finish. 

On the day of the race with Queen's 

we got away to a good start, but, before 

the first bridge was reached, we were trailing 

by about a canvas. Although the rating 

went up we failed to make any headway 

in bridging the gap, and coming to 

the Big Bend we momentarily lost that 

swing which is so essential to good rowing.

—F.S.R. 

We entered the straight about two lengths 

behind, and, though our swing improved 

greatly, Queen's maintained this lead to 

the end. 

We congratulate Queen's on their win, 

and also on their final victory over Ormond. 

We extend our thanks on behalf 

of the College and crew to our coach. 

SECONDS. 

This year our second crew contained 

only three of last year's rowers, and their 

training was greatly delayed because of the 

state of our training boat. However, under 

the coach, Mr. R. M. O'Hanlon, an 

enthusiastic crew was chosen and training 

commenced in earnest. Unfortunately, 

one of the members, S. E. Reid, became 

ill a week before the race. J. R. McGoldrick 

was chosen to fill the vacancy. 

In the race our seconds, after starting 

only fairly, went away to a lead of over a 

canvas. Rowing excellently, they held this 

lead until the last hundred yards, but then 

the interrupted training caused a shortening 

of the swing, and Queen's, finishing 

strongly, won by three feet. 

The final second eight were: Stroke, J. 

Hill; 7, J. K. McCarthy; 6, J. Robinson; 

5, J. Moriarty; 4, D. V. Fogarty; 3, J. Mc- 

Goldrick; 2, B. Kelly; bow, J. Cornwell; 

cox, F. P. McArdle. 

—B.J.F.

T 

HE task of building an athletic team 

capable of breaking Ormond's present 

run of successes is one which 

we feel each year is not beyond us, but invariably 

Ormond seem to find that little 

extra which means the difference between 

victory and defeat. It is comforting to 

know, however, that superior natural talent 

alone has given them the majority of 

their victories. 

Rarely has Newman been fortunate 

enough to have a man so gifted with the 

qualities demanded of a leader as she was 

this year in having Bernard O'Brien as 

her captain of athletics. Under his able 

guidance, and heartened by the presence 

of several good athletes amongst us, Newman 

took unto herself a sense of courage 

and confidence with which she might conquer. 

The team trained rigorously for many 

months preceding the day of the contest. 

They were most unselfish and retiring as 

regards the inconveniences which it caused 

many of them. Ormond, however, after 

being closely pressed by our team, found 

themselves again the possessors of the 

Cato Shield—upon this success we congratulate 

them. Newman should not be 

waiting long for the shield to hang once 

again in her portals, as the enthusiasm and 

ability of our athletes are increasing every 

year. 

Most meritorious individual performances 

were Kevin Coleman's great sprint 

victories and his third in the 440 yards, 

run in exceedingly good time considering 

the state of the track; John Anchen's brilliant 

440 yards' victory, which some 

amongst us thought was even overshadowed 

by his great second to MacMillan 

in the 880 yards, where he displayed 

courage characteristic of a great sportsman; 

and Ken. Phelan's good throw of 35 

ATHLETICS 

[ 30 ] 

ft. 114 in. in the weight putt, which gave 

him victory over Moore of Ormond, who 

was his conqueror last year. 

All members of the team are to be commended 

on their performances, which 

were typical of Newman men in that they 

were fought to the bitter end. Congratulations 

are extended to Bernard O'Brien, 

Kevin Coleman and John Anchen, who 

represented the University in the Inter-

THE TENNIS TEAM 

Frcm Left: J. F. Niall, B. J. Brophy (Capt.), J. F. Kearney, L. F. Cleary.

The Mackay Cup now graces our Hall 

for the first time in twenty-one years. There 

was good material in College this year, 

with several members playing pennant 

throughout the season; and the committee, 

led by Brian Brophy, carefully groomed 

each prospect. Practices were frequent 

and hard, and matches were arranged 

against pennant teams. It was a capable 

team which represented Newman. 

NEWMAN v. QUEEN'S. 

The opening matches did not provide 

much spectacular tennis, both Newman 

men winning in straight sets. 

ClearY d. Walker .. .. 6-0, 6-4 

Niall d. A. G. Bond .. .. 6-4, 6-4 

Brophy then met the Queen's captain, 

N. S. Bond, and soon Newman had three 

rubbers to love lead. Brophy's service 

and smashing were outstanding. In a 

marathon between J. Kearney and Hong 

Kin Wong, Wong eventually won after 

showing much determination. 

Brophy d. N. S. Bond 6-1, 6-2 

Kearney lost to Wong 6-3, 2-6, 4-6 

Better tennis was seen in the afternoon, 

Brophy and Cleary combining well to 

defeat both N. S. Bond and Walker, and 

Wong and A. G. Bond in straight sets. 

Brophy's service and Cleary's left-handed 

fore-hand angled returns of service always 

had the opposition in difficulty. Kearney 

and Niall, in better form, showed more 

force in their doubles play. Both played 

many crisp shots to win their rubbers.

NEWMAN v. TRINITY 

The final against Trinity, who had narrowly 

defeated Ormond, was played under 

ideal conditions before a large crowd. 

Cleary, playing with immediate touch, 

easily defeated Barbour in straight sets. 

TENNIS 

Niall dropped the first set to Mighell, but 

won the second after outrallying his opponent 

and saving two match points. The 

last set was a battle of tactics, Mighell 

lobbing everything, but Niall's net work 

clinched the set and rubber. Kearney's 

failure to attack cost him his singles rubber 

against the consistent volleying of 

Mann. 

The Brophy-Potter match provided brilliant 

tennis, Potter's forecourt work 

earning him the first set. With determined 

driving and serving Brophy took 

the second. In the third set, played after 

lunch, the consistency of each had suffered. 

Brophy's big service won him the 

match—four virtual aces in the last game. 

Cleary d. Barbour .. . .. 6-3, 6-1 

Niall d. Mighell 

1-6, 9-7, 6--3 

Kearney lost to Mann 6-4, 1-6, 3-6 

Brophy d. Potter .. .. 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 

The match now seemed to depend on 

the first pairs' doubles. 

Fine tennis was 

seen in the first two sets. 

In the third, 

Brophy's serve and Cleary's brilliant all 

court play proved too much for Potter and 

Barbour, Newman taking the set with the 

loss of only seven points. As Mann and 

Mighell easily defeated Kearney and Niall, 

the result was still in doubt as the same 

pair faced Brophy and Cleary. The Newman 

pair, after dropping the first set, regained 

confidence and, using clever tactics 

against tired opponents, took the rubber. 

Kearney and Niall, trailing 4-2 against 

Potter and Barbour, unwound a relentless 

attack based on all-court forced play. Both 

played their best tennis of the year, and 

after saving a set point in the tenth game, 

they took the set at 9-7; the Trinity pair, 

nevertheless, rallied to save the rubber.

■

And so it came to pass that about that 

time a great disaster fell upon the children 

of Newman. And they moved amidst the 

cloisters with downcast eyes clad in black 

gowns, and they murmured amongst themselves, 

saying one to another: "There is no 

hot water!" And there was tribulation in 

the land and they wept and ceased not to 

bathe themselves in their tears, for it was 

knew not whence to turn, when of a sudden 

a man rose up amongst them—a prophet-- 

one George the son of Mitchell, and in a loud 

voice said: "The drains have turned it up," 

and the crowd cried, "Ah yea! 'Tis indeed 

so." And lo! at that moment there came 

riding by on his ass an Inspector of the Board 

of Works. And the Elders ran up to him 

saying, "Save us, save us," and he, without 

getting off his ass, for he was a Government 

official, said he would. 

And presently there came amongst them 

many men carrying picks and shovels 

wrapped in white samite, mystic, wonderful, 

and they sat upon the ground and murmured 

amongst themselves: "Whose deal is it?" 

And ever and anon one of their number 

(whom in their own tongue they called 

"dummy") smote the ground with now a pick, 

now a shovel, and oft times stood and gazed 

about him. And so it came to pass that in 

the fulness of time a hole was dug, but an 

enemy came in the night and filled it with 

water. And so often as they emptied it each 

clay, so often was it filled again at night. 

And the workmen murmured one to another 

saying: "There'll be trouble about this." And 

thereupon the Elders drew their cloaks over 

their heads and wept and would not be comforted. 

And the years passed, and the days, 

and still as often as they emptied the hole 

verily was it again filled up. But then upon 

the Tuesday within the Octave of Derby Day, 

George the son of Mitchell took a rod in his 

hand and smote the boiler, and lo! from the 

taps water gushed forth and a great cry 

arose, and a shout, and all the men took off 

their vestments and bathed themselves, for 

verily the drought had broken. —K.F.C.

Newman College Old Boys' Association 

FOLLOWING the trend of recent years 

and reflecting the increased interest in 

the Association, there was a splendid 

attendance at the Annual Dinner and 

General Meeting, held at Menzies' Hotel 

on the first Saturday in December, 1947. 

Mr. P. F. O'Collins was elected President; 

Dr. F. P. Costigan, Mr. C. G. Heffey, 

and Dr. H. J. Sinn, Vice-Presidents; Committee, 

Mr. F. K. Maher, Dr. M. Clarke, 

Mr. A. R. Kelly, Mr. F. Corder, Dr. J. B. 

O'Collins, Mr. J. W. Galbally; Assistant 

Secretary, Dr. R. T. J. Galbally; Hon. 

Treasurer, Mr. J. A. Redmond; Hon. 

Secretary, Mr. J. 0. Parker. 

The Rector was very welcome as our 

guest of honour. The traditional toasts 

were enthusiastically honoured. 

Reference must be made to the manner 

in which the retiring President, Dr. H. J. 

Sinn, proposed the toast of "The College." 

In a scintillating speech, interspersed with 

attractive witticisms, Dr. Sinn spoke very 

sincerely of the place that the College and 

the Rector occupy in our hearts. 

During 1948 it was pleasing to see the 

increasing numbers of members attending 

the College social functions, and similar 

interest is expected at the Golf Day. The 

annual Retreat will be held at "Loyola," 

On April 10, Father Murphy completed 

his twenty-fifth year as Rector of the 

College. Since 1946 the Association had 

planned to mark the occasion by arranging 

a formal dinner, and a decision that a 

portrait of the Rector be painted by a leading 

artist was put into effect. 

On the Anniversary Day the President 

and Secretary formally called on the Rector 

and extended to him the congratulations 

and good wishes of the Association. 

1948 ACTIVITIES 

JUBILEE 

[35] 

Watsonia, in November, and, in the same 

month, the Annual Requiem Mass will be 

offered in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. 

At the Dinner it was announced that the 

Scholarship Fund had reached the sum of 

£1000, and hence, under the terms of the 

Trust, it was announced that the first 

award would be made at the end of 1948. 

Conditions are now being formulated, and 

the Committee has in mind the granting 

of an Annual Scholarship to the value of 

£50, but to keep open the capital fund in 

order that the revenue will permit perhaps 

increasing the value of the award or granting 

two scholarships. 

The trend to a larger attendance at the 

Annual Requiem Mass has lately been 

observed. We have published below the 

full Requiem List. I think it can be 

safely stated that irrespective of the period 

spent in College, each member will recognise 

the name of at least one of his contemporaries. 

In order to complete the official files an 

appeal is made to any member who could 

kindly give to the Secretary copies of "Newman" 

of 1921, 1924, 1939. 

An effort is being made to form a branch 

of the Association in Perth, and the Secretary, 

after a recent visit, is hopeful of early 

action. 

On the evening of April 15, the complimentary 

dinner was tendered to the Rector 

at the Hotel Australia, the largest accommodation 

available being fully taxed by a 

brilliant assembly of Newman men, 

gathered to pay honour to Father Murphy. 

Invitations had been issued to the 

Chairman and members of the College 

Council; also to his Grace the Coadjutor- 

Archbishop of Melbourne, the Most Rev. 

Justin Simonds; to the Chancellor of the

University, Sir Charles Lowe; to the Provincial 

of the Society of Jesus, Very Rev. 

Austin Kelly, S.J.; and to the President of 

the Students' Club, Mr. T. B. Shillito. 

The Chairman of the Council (His Grace 

the Archbishop of Melbourne), His Grace 

the Coadjutor-Archbishop, and their Lordships 

the Bishop of Ballarat and the 

Bishop of Sandhurst were represented by 

His Lordship the Bishop of Sale, the Most 

Rev. Richard Ryan, C.M. The other 

members of the Council present were the 

Vice-Chancellor, Mr. J. D. G. Medley (now 

Sir John Medley); the Dean of the College, 

Rev. J. P. Gleeson, S.J.; the Principal of 

St. Kevin's College, Rev. Brother J. A. 

Saul; and Mr. M. Chamberlin. It was a 

happy coincidence that Mr. P. F. O'Collins, 

who is also a member of the Council, 

should be the chairman for this evening's 

function as President of the Association. 

Mr. O'Collins welcomed the Guest of 

Honour and the Special Guests. 

In presenting formal apologies from His 

Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne, His 

Grace the Coadjutor-Archbishop, their 

Lordships the Bishop of Ballarat and the 

Bishop of Sandhurst, and the Provincial 

of the Society of Jesus, the secretary read 

some extracts from their letters, in all of 

which tribute was paid to the Rector's 

outstanding record. 

The secretary made reference also to 

the special efforts to be present which had 

been made by many members in journeying 

from as far as Mansfield, Warrnambool, 

and Bairnsdale. He also reported 

that practically every past president of the 

Association and President of the Students' 

Club had gathered to pay tribute to the 

Rector. 

[ "] 

We may note here that all past students 

were allocated at tables according to the 

date of their residence in College, pride of 

place being given to the table at which sat 

ten members of the foundation year, 1918, 

seven of them being "Originals"—the 

traditional name for those who entered 

Newman at its actual inception. 

After the toast of His Majesty the King 

had been honoured, His Honour Judge 

Mulvany proposed the toast of "Our Guest 

of Honour." His Honour was supported 

by Dr. John Hayden. The President then 

presented the portrait to the Rector, who 

graciously accepted it and replied to the 

toast. He expressed his delight at seeing 

so many of his past students, and formally 

tendered his thanks to the Association, 

expressing appreciation of the organisation 

of the function. 

Dr. J. A. Clarebrough, supported by Mr. 

J. X. O'Driscoll, proposed the toast of 

"Our Visitors." In reply, the assembly 

were treated to a trio of brilliant speeches, 

each treating the subject from a different 

angle, and delivered in different, but 

equally appealing and impressive styles, by 

His Lordship the Bishop of Sale, the 

Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor. 

The formal proposal of the toast of "The 

Chairman," by Mr. J. 0. Parker, and Mr. 

P. F. O'Collin's reply, brought to a close 

a function which had been a brilliant success 

in every way. Sincere and spontaneous 

congratulations and expressions of 

pleasure and appreciation were tendered 

by a large number. 

J. 0. PARKER, 

Hon. Secretary, 

85 The Esplanade, Elwood.

HIS HONOUR JUDGE MULVANY 

During the year all members of the Students' Club and the Old Boys' 

Association were delighted at the announcement that Joseph F. Mulvany had 

been raised to the Bench of the County Court of Victoria. Congratulations 

are very warmly tendered to Joe on this fitting recognition of his ability, on 

the honour accorded him; and it is noted with pride that for the first time a 

Newman man has been elevated to judicial office. 

He began in 1922 a "triumphal career through College"—to quote "Valete" 

of 1926. President of the Students' Club in 1925 and 1926; a brilliant student, 

he gained the Exhibition in Final Honours (History), Dwight Prize, Wyeslaskie 

Prize and Cobden Gold Medal, yet he found time to represent Newman in 

inter-'varsity debates. He has been a tutor at the College, and, for many years, 

a tutor in History at the University. 

From his record at the Bar and as King's Counsel, it can be seen that this 

latest honour, which makes us so proud, was hardly unexpected. 

MARRIAGES 

The marriages of the following Old Boys were celebrated by the Rector, 

with Nuptial Mass, at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit: 

Ross Batten, with Miss Alison Buxton, February 3, 1948. 

J. Adrian Redmond, with Miss Margaret Page, April 3, 1948. 

Francis Galbally, with Miss Bernadette O'Bryan, June 26, 1948. 

Also married since "Newman", 1947, were:

G. Paul McGowan, with Miss Marie Terrill, August 28, 1948. 

John Moriarty, with Miss Olive Nicholls, September 4, 1948.
