ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Proceedings of the University for the year ended Slst December, 1960
To His Excellency,
General Sir Dallas Brooks, K.C.B., K.C.M.G., K.C.V.O., D.S.C, K.ST.J..
Governor of Victoria.
May it please Your Excellency,
I have the honour, in accordance with Section 43 of the University Act 1958, to submit to Your Excellency the following report of the Proceedings of the University during 1960.
1. Introduction: 1960—A Year of Achievement
For the University of Melbourne, the year 1960 had been foreseen by those charged with its direction as a year of unprecedented strain on all its resources. This year was the third successive year in which the student population exceeded that of the year before by approximately a 10 per cent increase in students (numbers rose from 8,000 to 11,000 in three years), while the promise of Monash University as a source of relief from such intolerable pressure could only remain a glimmer on our south- eastern horizon—a promise which would not become a reality until 1961.
In a sense, one might say that the main achievement of 1960 for the University of Melboume was that it continued to function without any breakdown. This, however, is too negative an assessment.
Despite classes being duplicated, triplicated and even quadruplicated, despite the loss of some of our brightest staff members to join the nucleus staff of our sister university of Monash, despite what impatient eyes classed as tantalizingly slow progress upwards of new buildings—despite these and other frustrations, this university and its staff and graduates continued to earn recognition from academic circles throughout the world.
It was with the greatest and most justifiable pride that the University learned of the Nobel Prize award for Medicine that was made to Pro- fessor Sir Macfarlane Bumet, Professor of Experimental Medicine—the first Nobel award made to an Australian scholar for work conceived and carried out in an Australian university—the award being shared with Professor Medawar of London.
At almost the same time in the year, the University Council acknow- ledged with gratitude the gift to the Department of Physiology of the sum of £.50,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation in America to assist in the construction of the new departmental research building, together with the offers of $99,000 to help finance research work in this department and of $52,000 towards research in the Department of Zoology (the gift of the National Institutes of Health, Washington). On a less spectacular level (in terms of monetary recognition) has been the sustained and world-wide support for the upper atmosphere and cosmic ray researches organized by Dr. V. D. Hopper, whose ingenuity is matched only by the simplicity of his methods and their success in achieving the aims intended.
In 1960, and for many years ahead, the chief problems facing the University were, and will continue to be, those of accommodation and
finance to provide, and staff, the buildings required. But a master plan, or even sketch plans from the office of the Staff Architect, are a long way removed in time from the occupation of the required new building. In 1960 the University has seen progress on three major buildings—North Building, the first stage of the Hydraulics Building, and the completion of the Russell Grimwade School of Biochemistry—while the long-delayed resumption of construction of the new Dental Hospital adjoining the grounds has revived the hopes of the Faculty of Dental Science.
As an admitted "stop-gap" measure in the matter of staff accommoda- tion, the University has bought a number of private houses in Parkville and other areas adjacent to the grounds to provide offices for lecturers and tutors from overcrowded studies, particularly in the Faculties of Arts and Commerce. "Hartcourt" in Sydney Road alone provides thirty rooms.
While the accretion of adjacent properties offers a distant prospect to the University of adding to its cramped "campus" of only one hundred acres, the temporary relief offered by such purchases is welcome.
Every bit as pressing as the lack of accommodation for the teaching staff is the difficulty of securing staff members themselves. It is properly recognized that the best academics will serve in a number of posts throughout the world before they settle in full maturity in the university of their choice. In Melbourne University in 1960, with a full-time academic staff of over 600, normal migration of staff, together with the replacement of retired staff, has faced the administration with the problem of filling a fluctuating number of positions, totalling as many as sixty vacancies in October 1960. In some disciplines it has temporarily proved impossible to engage persons of the required calibre—in some instances these posts remain unfilled, while in others the establishment for the position has had to be upgraded to higher academic status with con- sequent increased strain on University finances.
With growing student numbers, this university should not be seeking merely to engage normal replacement staff, but rather should be engaging additional members to share the teaching and research load that larger student numbers automatically imply. But each new staff member requires an additional study, an increase in library stock and facilities, or space for laboratory work. In 1960 it has frequently been impossible to provide these requirements.
It has been most heartening for the members of Council of the Uni- versity, despite so many different pressures to be borne, to have the continued loyalty of the academic and administrative staff supporting them in their deliberations. There has been, for all, the warm conviction supporting them that the decade of the 1960s will see the fruition of many developments in the University that were planned, almost as pipe- dreams, in the 1950s. Some University historian, a generation hence, may find it difficult to trace out the developments of today—so changed will be the University by the time he puts pen to paper.
2. Building Progress in 1960
The most important event of the year has been the grant obtained through the Australian Universities Commission for the 1960-62 triennium of £ 2 1 million for new buildings. Architects' plans are now being pre- pared for the following buildings: Architecture, Mechanical Engineering,
595
extension to Zoology, extension to Botany, Economics, Chemistry-Geology link, Microbiology and International House. It is hoped that the con- struction of at least five of these will be commenced in 1961. A start is being made on planning for an extension to Agriculture.
£.200,000 has been made available to the University to construct new laboratories for Physiology. £150,000 of this sum has been due to the action of two Melbourne business men, Mr. Ken Myer and Mr. Ian Potter, and £50,000 is a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. This building will eventually form part of the new building for Physiology and it is hoped that work on these laboratories will commence about the middle of 1961.
Unfortunately the North" Building which would have greatly alleviated the position for some departments will not be completed until about August 1961.
The progress in the first stage of the Hydraulics Building has been deplorably slow. When the first stage of the building is completed, two new floors are to be added. The Russell Grimwade School of Biochemistry is practically complete and in addition to housing all the Biochemistry Department will provide accommodation for some years for the Staff Architect and a Sugar Research Laboratory for the C.S.I.R.O.
The space formerly occupied by the Biochemistry Department, before its demolition in a few years, will be occupied by the departments of Pharmacology and Physiology. The Geography Department will, how- ever, use some of the space set aside for Pharmacology until such time as jt can move into the North Building.
During the year the following alterations to existing buildings have been carried out: new laboratories for Pathology, Zoology and Physiology, extension of Micro-Analytical laboratory in Chemistry, conversion of the Secondary Teachers' College Bristol huts for Forestry, and extensive reno- vations to the Veterinary Research Institute. In some ways one of the most important extensions during the year, at least for the academic staff, has been that to University House where it is now possible for all mem- bers to find seating accommodation at lunch time. A greatly improved kitchen has also been installed.
It has been decided to leave a space of one hundred feet to the north of the Baillieu Library for future expansion of this building. This air- conditioned library has proved so popular that the present seating accommodation is already inadequate.
One of the great needs of the University at present is adequate heat- ing in winter. While a few buildings have central heating and all the new ones will have it installed, many have had to rely on the excessive use of electric radiators. As one of the conditions of the cheaper tariff under which the University buys its electrical energy is that no more than 10 per cent of the day-time load should be due to radiators, it was essential to reduce the energy consumption from radiators. Hence gas heating has been used in a number of buildings. Among these is the Dissecting Room in Anatomy where, for the first time in the history of this University, students could dissect in winter without wearing over- coats and scarves!
Early in 1961 a new Medical School animal house will replace the former animal house of which the less said the better.
ANNUAL REPORT
3. Future Building Plans
At the end of the triennium 1961-63 some 500,000 square feet of new building will be either completed or else under construction, and for several further triennia it is hoped to continue rebuilding at a similar rate until we can create a university that is physically adapted to the tasks of teaching and research.
In earlier decades of our existence such phenomenal growth as the present decade has witnessed was not dreamt of, and the size and place- ment of buildings in those days has left this University with an uncom- fortable and expensive legacy of replanning that must be done. The basic feature of today's master plan is that the medical departments should all be rehoused in new buildings, of which the Russell Grimwade School of Biochemistry is the first, in the south-west corner of the grounds. Here they will be in close proximity to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the new Dental Hospital. The old medical buildings thus vacated can then be demolished and their ground space used for a new School of Physics, the building of which we hope will start in the triennium 1964-66.
By 1970, if we can keep up the present tempo of development, we hope that we will have been successful in rebuilding or reconstructing many of our important schools. The ancient centre, the Quadrangle, will be one of the few spots left untouched. But even though its facade is unchanged, as was pointed out in last year's report, the North Wing has been remodelled to provide a Law School and Library.
4. University Finances and the Australian Universities Commission The first report of the Australian Universities Commission on Austra- lian Universities was produced in October 1960 and the recommendations in the report were accepted by the Commonwealth Government. As a result, the following funds will be available to the University of Mel- bourne for the triennium 1961-63:
Recurrent Grants

£2,112,000 The building grant will be provided equally by the State and Com- monwealth Governments.
In addition, an amount of five per cent is payable on the building grants to assist in meeting the costs of furnishings and equipment.
Capital Equipment
A special equipment fund of £ 1,000,000 is available for the triennium to be provided equally by the State and Commonwealth Governments.
The first £500,000 is distributed under the Act and the University of Melbourne will receive £90,000. The balance of the equipment fund
(£500,000) is to be allocated by the Commission for special researches after an examination of the needs of Universities and after due con- sultation.
Residential Colleges
The Commonwealth Government will provide £1,000,000 in 1961-63 for the building and equipping of affiliated residential colleges or exten- sions to affiliated colleges on the basis of £ 1 for every £ 1 provided from other sources, including State Government grants. The share pro- vided for colleges affiliated with the University of Melbourne is £223,000.
In addition, recurrent grants are to be provided for residential colleges or halls of residence by the Commonwealth Government on an unmatched basis. Each college and hall of residence will receive an annual grant of
£2,000 for the provision of tutorial assistance and to help with adminis- trative costs, plus an additional amount of £ 1 5 per annum for each student in residence and £ 5 per annum for each non-resident student receiving tutorials and other facilities.
5. Research
The 1959 Report of Research and Investigation was published in Octo- ber. The size of this report increases each year as the amount of research work grows.
The degree of Ph.D. was inaugurated in 1946. By 30 June, 1960, 171 candidates had qualified for the degree and at that date there were 152 candidates in training, of whom 74 were junior members of staff.
The University of Melbourne Research Fellowships, which had been made possible by the Henry and Louisa Williams bequest, came into operation in March. Two senior and three junior fellowships have now been awarded.
The Commonwealth Scholarship scheme for the whole of the British Commonwealth became active during the year and this University
ANNUAL BEPOBT
received two awards for students to study in the United Kingdom and two for Canada. It is hoped that the number of United Kingdom awards for Melbourne students will be greatly increased in 1961. Under the scheme the University of Melboume will, in 1961, receive students with Australian awards from British West Indies, United Kingdom, South Africa ( 2 ) , Pakistan.
In spite of the number of scholarships offered by the Commonwealth Office of Education (18 per year) and such Commonwealth bodies as the C.S.I.R.O. and the Australian Dairy Produce Board, a considerable portion of the University research grants to scientific and technological depart- ments has still to be used to find grants and scholarships for students.
6. Progress of Students
The academic performance of students has continued to be a major concern in the University. As the following table shows, only about two- thirds of all full-time students reach graduation and only a little more than one-third graduate in minimum time.

Graduation and Failure of Undergraduates who Commenced Full-Time Courses in 1954

There is some evidence of an increase in pass-rates in individual sub- jects over the last four years but the effect on graduation rate is not likely to be great.
The University has appointed a full-time Educational Research Officer who acts as secretary to the Education Committee of the Professorial Board. Findings and recommendations arising from studies undertaken by this committee are passed on to the authorities most concemed. Among the subjects investigated have been correlates of failure among first-year students, examining methods, student residential accommodation, honours talent among students in pass Arts courses and reading improvement training for students.
One of the interesting findings which has emerged from these studies is the significant extent to which student academic performance is asso- ciated with students' family and educational background. Additional study is required to determine the full nature of this association. It appears likely, however, that the University will have to pay more attention in first-year training to overcome handicaps to effective study which students bring with them from their background.
A major project in hand at present is the investigation of the pre- dictive value of the matriculation examination and an evaluation of head- masters' estimates of students' capacity for university study as a method
of admission which might be used alternatively to, or in conjunction with, a final external examination.
In July a conference on University Education was convened by the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee and held in Melboume. Workers engaged in investigating educational problems from all Australian Uni- versities attended. The main work of the conference was done in three commissions: on teaching methods, on examining methods and on en- vironmental factors which affect performance. A report and 32 recom- mendations on the above topics are now before the Australian Vice- Chancellors' Committee. This report is probably the most comprehensive on the problem which has yet been produced in Australia.
7. Convocation
Not every graduate realizes that by his graduation he becomes a member of Convocation and thereby an elector to Council and the Stand- ing Committee of Convocation. The Standing Committee regularly con- siders all legislation passed by Council. Its power of rejection is seldom forced to an issue but it frequently helps the Council by its wise use of its powers of amendment.
Under Dr. R. Fowler as Warden, Convocation has completed a useful year of work and has shown great interest in the consolidation of statutes and regulations, electoral procedure and its own standing orders. Strong attempts have also been made to enlist the sympathetic understanding and aid of all graduates in, university affairs.
8. The Challenge of Asia
For some time past there has been a small department in Indonesian and Malayan Studies but the wider field of the languages and civilizations of Australia's neighbours had not been touched until 1959, when a number of fortunate circumstances provided opportunities for expansion into Oriental, Indian and Islamic studies.
The Myer Foundation promised to finance over a number of years a Chair of Oriental Studies and other teaching staff on the understanding that the department would later gradually become a charge on general funds. In addition a capital sum was added for the purchase of a house in Royal Parade opposite the University. As a result the Chair has been accepted by Mr. H. Simon of The London School of Oriental and African Studies.
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations and the Spalding Trust, Oxford, combined to provide the cost of a senior lectureship in Indian Studies. Mr. A. S. Ayyub of Calcutta has now been appointed.
The Government of Pakistan and the Spalding Trust have subscribed to a lectureship in Islamic Studies in the Department of Semitic Studies and this position has now been filled by the appointment of Dr. A. K.
Kazi. In the same department the Rev. G. R. Bolster of Glasgow, an expert in Comparative Religion and Chinese, has been appomted.
These new establishments should do much to increase our knowledge and understanding of Middle and Far Eastern peoples and their cultures.
9. Medical Chairs
Three new medical chairs have been mooted recently. Due to the further generosity of Mrs. G. I. Stevenson, a Chair of Child Health has
been established and Dr. Vernon Collins has now taken up this respon- sibility in the Royal Children's Hospital to our great satisfaction. A Chair of Ophthalmology has also been created but an appointment could not be made in 1960. Gifts totalling £100,000 from Mr. E. A. Cato and Dr.
Una Porter over a period of years will provide a fund for a Chair of Psychiatry. It is hoped that these generous gifts will attract others so that an appointment may soon be made.
10. Faculty of Applied Science
The traditional science course is one of three years. Many members of the faculty feel that, with the great advances in scientific knowledge, a four years' course is desirable. The strain on all our physical facilities, buildings and equipment, still continues and cannot be relieved by Monash University or the addition of the North Building for some time.
There are good courses available, mainly of a technological nature, in the technical colleges and at least some of these courses are of university standard.
. These considerations have led to the creation of the Faculty of Applied Science, the only new faculty since Commerce was established in 1924.
The course will be of four years' duration of which the first is a common, scientific year taken mainly in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
There is, however, provision for incorporating work done in approved institutions and, as a beginning, courses in optometry and textiles are being added.
11. Future Development
A university must remain receptive to new ideas and be ready to add new courses of study as need and opportunity arise. At the same time every existing university subject tends to expand in its own right and to require fuller treatment and more staff for teaching and its further extension by research. These normal activities of growth are apt to be stultified when the sheer weight of numbers, particularly in first and second year courses, reaches its present pitch. By first term 1961 there will almost certainly be 11,500 students, of whom about two-thirds will be full-time: so that in four years, numbers have increased by nearly 4,000, or 50 per cent. Pre-war, 4,000 was the total number of students. The total full-time teaching staff is over 600 with more than 400 part-time, and about another 400 people are full-time administrators of low or high degree, nearly half of them being in the central office.
These hard facts are not the whole story. More money and buildings are being provided by governments and the general public now supports its university quite regularly by gifts amounting to between half and three-quarters of a million pounds a year. The building shortage is still serious and staff are hard to get. But there is still life and enthusiasm in most parts of this great institution, shown by a loyalty to the academic tradition and a spirit of co-operation that one seldom sees abroad in greater measure.
We have, unfortunately, not yet filled the senior chairs in Physics and Chemistry. The staffs of these two key scientific schools have shown great devotion in carrying on. There is a real hope that we shall not only fill these two chairs soon but also have three professors in each school.'
New developments in Oriental Studies, Semitic Studies and Islamic Studies are mentioned elsewhere. These courses will have their founda- tions in language study but will be much concerned also with the civiliza- tion of each cultural area. The addition of a full course in Italian has filled another gap in language teaching. It may be of interest to note that, apart from the classics, there are courses in Enghsh, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic (and Aramaic, etc.), Icelandic and, shortly, Scandinavian languages. The new departments of Indian and Oriental Studies will, no doubt, add their language contributions very soon.
The continual additions to the student body, staff of all grades, build- ings and finance place extra burdens on central facilities like the Library and the Union and also on central administration. Here, a swing to mechanical aids is in progress but the three senior officials, the Vice- Chancellor, the Chairman of the Professorial Board, and the Registrar are still in need of further aid.
As one index to the changes of recent years, the University now spends, over £ 4 million annually apart from its expenditure on building. In 1939, revenue was about £400,000 or one-tenth of the present.
12. The Council
Dr. C. M. Gilray was re-elected as Deputy-Chancellor for 1960.
By his retirement as Director of Education, Mr. A. H. Ramsay ceased to be an ex officio member of the Council after eleven years of valued service. Mr. A. McDonell became an ex officio member as the new Director of Education, and Mr. G. F. Langley was elected to fill the resulting vacancy for a representative of graduates.
On the nomination of the Interim Council of Monash University, Dr.
J. A. L. Matheson, Vice-Chancellor of that University, was appointed to the Council.
In the absence on leave of the Chairman of the Professorial Board (Professor Hills) and Professor Sunderland, Professor Prest (Acting Chairman of the Professorial Board) and Professor Trikojus attended meetings of the Council without voting powers.
13. Pro-Vice-Chancellors
Professor E. S. Hills, Chairman of the Professorial Board, and Pro- fessor Sir Arthur Amies, immediate past Chairman of the Professorial Board, were re-appointed as Pro-Vice-Chancellors.
