THE BUILDING

The plans were prepared by the designing architect, Mr. P. B. Hudson; Mr.

J.

S. Gawler has been the super­

vising architect. The original plans provided for a three­

storey building, but the funds available were sufficient to proceed with only a portion of that plan. It is hoped that in the future the additional storey may be added: but the debt of £25,000 to the University Council on the present structure must be liquidated before any additions can be cont em plated.

The builders, Messrs. W. C. Burne & Sons Pty. Ltd., commenced operations in August, 1936, and the Foundation Stone was laid on October 24 of that year. The cost of the building to date has been £74,000. The furnishing, including kitchen and cafeteria equipment, represents another £10,000.

FOREWORD BY THE CHANCELLOR Some eigh^ty-seven ye^ar^s ago ( 18 51) in the infan^t _^ci^t_Y. ^of Melbourne, ^then six^teen ye^ar^s old, and ^amids^t p^nm�^t�^ve c^ond_iti^on�, a �mall group of e^arnes^t men whoyoss�^ssed :^1;;�

and 1magm^at10n, ^took ^steps ^to f^ound the �mver^sity_ 0 bourne. They were led by ^the Aud1tor-Geneial �Mr Childers-who h^ad migr^ated ^to Aus^tr^alia as ^a school teacher and inspe^ctor, h^ad soon becom^e Audi^tor-Gen�ⁱ:^al, and ^af^ter he lef^t Vic^toria bec^ame no^ted in Bri^ti^sh p^olitics. In 1853, i.e., in ^tw^o ye^ar^s, ^the Universi^ty w^as founded.

In 1876, when I bec^ame ^an undergr^adu^ate, ^there w^ere 2�⁰ s^tuden^ts, ^and in 19⁰1, when I bec^ame a me^mber ^of C^ouncil, there were 593, of whom nearly h^alf were medi^cal ^studen^ts.

To-d^ay ^there are abou^t 4,00⁰ s^tuden^ts, and I a^sk _myself wh^at Mr. Childers and his associ^ate^s w^ould think if ^they c^ould s^ee h^ow ^the inf^an^t h^as grown. ^In 1920 it became obviou^{s t}o ^the Council wi^th ^the pos^t-war rush of s^tuden^ts, which r^aised ^the number t^{o a}bout 2,000, ^that ^a place ^of mee^t­ ing and a c^afe^teria w^ere essen^ti^al ^{to t}he proper develop_men^t of ^the ^corpor^ate life of ^the Universi^ty. Money for ^a suitable building w^as unob^tainab^le, bu^{t t}he Coun^cil made the ?est improvisa^tion p^ossib^le. They pur^chased the Y.M.C.A. bu:^ld­

ing on ^the S^t. Kild^a Road, ^and removed i^{t t}o ^th^e Uni^versi^ty.

S^ome ide^a of ^their a^tti^tude m^ay be obt^ained fro^m �he f^ac^t th^{at t}he C^ouncil ins^tru^cted ^their agen^t a^{t t}he aucti^on sale ^to bid ag^ains^{t a}ll ^comers and ^secure ^the building, as they knew they c^ould not ^{at t}h^at ^time ge^t anything el^se. The

total cos^t wi^th the removal w^as ^abou^t £5,000, and wi^th ^the

old Union Bui^lding i^t re^lieved ^an imp^ossib^le p^osi^ti^on.

Time passed, the number ^of s^tuden^ts almo^st doubled, and when ^the Vi^ce-Chance^llor-Dr. Pries^tley-took office, he re^alized th^at a vit^al ch^ange was necess^ary. M^ost ^of ^the s^tuden^ts live in Melb^ourne and have h^omes of ^their ^own, and c^onsequently the re^siden^tial Universi^ty system will never be univers^al as it is at Oxford and Cambridge, ^or in at least one American universi^ty of large size where it is

5

situated in a very small city. In residence or attached in Melbourne there are about 700 students connected with our residential colleges. The percentage may, and I think will, somewhat increase.

The Vice-Chancellor, realizing the position, decided to make an effort to provide the necessary facilities and amenities for students in the daytime and, if they wished, at night.

He envisaged a suitable and dignified meeting place, an adequate . cafeteria and dining-rooms, and a number of literary and artistic amenities which would be available to all students. The idea took shape, and his missionary fervour actuated many people who had been either hopeless or apathetic.

It is not necessary for me to set out particulars of the splendid building which has been erected, as that will be found in another part of this booklet. But it is necessary for me to emphasize the fact that the whole has been pro­

vided by students, graduates and citizens, and that the Government has not been asked to contribute. The whole­

hearted campaign is the best evidence of the manner in which the University will, in my opinion, move steadily forward.

The Vice-Chancellor, to my profound regret, is shortly leaving us and Australia, but he will leave behind a great memorial to the practical development of a great ideal, and will be remembered by future generations with respect and gratitude. It is given to few men to accomplish so much in so short a time.

W c meet at the opening to express our appreciation of the completion of a great work.

]AMES W. BARRETT, Chancellor.

THE UNION IDEAL IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE

To-day we meet for what is, in my opinion, one of the most significant ceremonies which has taken place in Mel­

bourne University for very many years. It is in a way the grafting of a new ductless gland in the University body, one which if it functions properly should have a rejuvenating and vivifying effect that should change its outlook and pro­

foundly modify its life and work. I believe that when the time comes for a sequel to Professor Scott's book to be written, the opening of the Union House will rank as a major landmark in the history of the University of our day.

It is in our universities that our leaders, not only in government, but in all departments of life, should be trained.

If we did not believe this we should be false to the university ideal. A large proportion to-day are not. They have never been through a university1 and thus are not conscious that they lack anything through that. And on the face of it there is much to make them believe that they are right. We cannot claim that those that have been through the univer­

sity mill are outstanding among their fellows, though there are important exceptions and we may be thankful for that.

There are many reasons for this, but one of them, and I believe not the least important, is the fact that the univer­

sities have failed in one part of their duty to their students and to the State.

In the earliest days of the British universities, two quite different ideals prevailed. Oxford and Cambridge typify the one-the idea that the university should be the centre of its students' life; should cater for all their physical, mental and spiritual needs; should provide a society-with all the activities of a normal society-in which students of all kinds and subjects should mingle; a staff concerned with all aspects of the individual students' life, in term time at least.

On the other hand, there were the universities that con-

7

cerned themselves with mental discipline and training alone and left the student severely to himself outside teachin�

hours. Of these· the ancient Scottish universities may be taken as the type.

In the last century the industrial revolution has revolu­

tionized the university scene. The metropolitan universities were born and have grown amazingly. From their very size, which throughout their history has far outstripped their financial resources, in spite of generous benefactions and of less generous subsidies from the State, these universities have necessarily approached more nearly to the latter of these two types. They trained their pupils for their professions or other avocations in life. They did not claim or attempt to fit them otherwise for their place in a society which was becoming more co1:1plicated e:7ery year, t_hrough t?e very triumphs of physical and b10log1cal sCience which the researches of the universities themselves have done so much to win.

But the last decade has seen a change in university opinion.

to me a chan�c full of sig!1�ficance and hope, if not �oo Ion�·

delayed. It 1s th� recogn_1t1on. of the fact that a umv�rsity, even a metropolitan u111vers1ty, should try to train its students-in the broadest sense-to fit them for their place in contemporary society, both for leadership and life. It is the thesis that, while the advancement of learning and the transmission of knowledge to succeeding generations remain primary duties of the university, they are not enough. There is something more uni�ersities have

t?

do,. and th�t something more is equally essential. From this pomt of view the task of the university is well expressed in the following quota­

tion from the wise report of the British University Grants Committee in 1936, a document that is worth reading fr0111

beginning to end by anyone interested in university ideals:

'A�1 ed�1c�tion for _life may be.achieved in many different ways.

Certam.ly 1t 1s not achieved sole)y ¹¹¹ the lecture room, �he laboratory or the _library. The mere acquirement of kno�lcdg_e 1s not enough.Notoriously the most subtle and potent educational mfluences in th older Universities o� this count:y have be�t� those which, bein e indirect, come not with observation, and ongmally were probabJ�

Now the old univer^sitie^s of Eng^land, to on� of whic_h I belong, arc peculiarly well suited for this port10n of their ta^sk. The colleges, with their ^closely-knit bodies of s�^u­ dcnt^s, a few hundreds strong, each ^college a cro^ss-.se^ct10n through the univer^sity world, ^containing repre^sent�t1ves of all subject^s, ^school^s, cla^sses of society, and phy^sical and mental type^s, are ideal in^stitution^s for the purpo^se of develop­

ing fully and adjustin_g well both bodie^s and mind^s. They are well, even lavishly, ^staffed. Every individual ^can rely upon receiving ^some mea^sure of informal tuition; ea^ch ^can hope for some amount of per^sonal attention. Every^on� but the misanthrope ^can be sure of intimate contact with frⁱends of varying types and ta^ste^s. All have ^some member of the staff to whom they have a right to go with their personal difficultie^s and perplexitie^s. The fact of re^siden^ce makes it certain that the college will be for the greater portion of the year the centre of their lives no matter how strong a

'

counter-attraction is provided by their homes.

In a non-re^sidential metropolit^an univer^sity the situation i^s very different. In Melbourne when I arrived we had both ^side^s of the ^situ^ation in sharpest ^contra^st and, I think, with very bad effect. I ^can say without flattery, that this Univer^sity appears to me to have developed the college ideal a^s far a^s any that I have ^seen out^side Oxford and Cam-

9

bridge, and I have seen some doz�ns. The colleges here have fine buildings, the best of which at�e as good as most colleges at home. They have appropnate an1 academic surroundings. They have a developing tutorial system.

They have reasonably large staffs of men wh_o are devoted to college interests, but yet have a sense of their proper rela­

tion to the University whole. They h�v� a strong corporate spirit. Like the colleges at h^?me, their 1'.1flu�nce transcends the actual period of college life. They msp1:·e loyalty and affection and remain a memory and a force 111 the lives of their gr;duates. In theory sectarian, and to that extent to many less than the ideal, l1l fact _they are tolera_nt and all­ embracino- and they grow more liberal all the time.

In sha;p contrast to their favoured inmates was the vast majority of Universit>'.' stu_dents who, with good reason, looked upon their Umversity solely as the avenue to a professional qualification or other degree. For them little almost nothing, was done. They paid their fees and attended lectures and laboratories. Their minimum needs were catered for in a barn-like building which had been first a museum and then a conservatorium of music. To this had been added, as a reli� of the post-war flood, an old wooden Y.M.C.A. hut, which commenced university life as a tribute to the Australian genius for improvization, and remained for very nearly twenty years as an illustration of the motto 'good enough.' The sanitary arrangements for the students were appalling, and comment upon them is best left at that bald statement.

Melbourne University owes much to Scottish influence and developed in the Scottish tradition. Its standards of scholarship were from the beginning high. It has main­

tained them in spite of financial difficulties in a way and to an extent that are almost unbelievable to an observer who knows the present financial situation and is in a position to compare them with those of better-endowed institutions.

But it has also had to a great degree the Scottish indifference to things outside the normal curricular life. Its Council believed firmly in the doctrine of self-help so far as student activities were concerned. To-day, in Scotland, as elsewhere,

10

this theory is losing ground. In these difficult days there is general recognition that in this, as in other respects, the young need encouragement and help. At St. Andrews, the old system of regents is being revived in the form of personal counsellors for students. The Scottish universities, like those elsewhere, are now engaged in improving Union facilities.

The movement is world-wide. Only yesterday I read in a New York paper that one of the first acts of the new Presi­

dent of Yale was to add no fewer than sixteen persons to the informal teaching and personnel staff.

Three years ago the Melbourne University Council accepted the new ideals. The Union was placed first on our list of capital needs. It was wisely decided to appeal as widely as possible. Parents, staff, graduates, students and friends of the University, progressive firms who had imagina­

tion enough to foresee the value of full^y developed perso­

nality as the raw material of industrial executives, were all asked to help. The Council showed its own sincerity by ^a loan of £20,000, since raised to £25,000, from University funds, upon which there were many competing claims, and by finding the whole salary of a full-time warden and the stipend of a half-time director of aesthetic activities. Further, with the backing of the Professorial Board, they included in their development scheme provision for sub-deans of the Faculties of Arts and Science and Engineering, as an earnest of the better personal service to students that they hope to develop as financial conditions improve. The University women and the women friends of the University, in a magnificent effort, ensured that the new Union should have furniture and equipment worthy of what it should mean to the students, staff and graduates of the future. This was to me the most astonishing and most encouraging of all the incidents of the campaign for funds.

We have been truly fortunate in our architects, Mr.

Hudson, of Shrine of Remembrance fame, who is responsible for the design of the building, and Mr. Gawler, the Dean of our own School of Architecture, who has supervized its erection. Everyone to-day will admire the dignity and appropriateness of the graceful building they have designed.

11

And in no respect has their work been more fortunate than in the re-designing of the old museum shell to house the cultural activities of the Union-their most difficult task.

At last the University has a home for student activity that is worthy of itself. At last there is a chance of building up amongst its students a feeling of gratitude and affection that should in its turn foster a corporate spirit akin to and equal to that of college and public school. We shall have a theatre that is second to none in Melbourne in fitness for its task; a library for general reading which should be a delight to all that use it; an art gallery with a really distin­

guished and beautiful collection of Australian works of art that should at once be a constant pleasure and educational influence and should set a standard for the aesthetic decora­

tion of the rest of the building. They should attract other gifts of similar beauty. We have, in fact, a recreational and cultural centre such as few universities possess. The other day I took one of the foremost educational authorities of the United States over the uncompleted building. He said that he had seen nothing to beat it in his own country, and he is a man who knows. There is certainly nothing better of its kind in any British provincial university that I have seen.

The Union House is something to live up to as well as to enjoy. To the University's friends who look at it to-day I say that it should inspire them to attempt to further our realization of the conception of university life of which it is the outward and visible sign. And first of all I would remind them of the debt of £25,000, which will cramp the Union activities to the tune of £1,100 to £1,500 a year until it is cleared. To the graduates I would say that it should alter altogether their attitude towards their Alma Mater and cause them to forget the shortcomings of the University of their own youth, and to do all in their power to help us to develop the new idea of what a university should mean to its students, and, through them, to the State. To parents I would say that it should convince them that what we are trying to do for their sons and daughters cannot be measured in terms of fees. I would remind the staff, who have helped collectively and individually to realize this dream, that it

12

provides more and better opportunⁱt^ies, in f^ar more co�g^enial surroundings, for ^those student-staff coⁿt^acts upoⁿ whicl: the tru^e v^alue of a unⁱversity so much d^ep^ends. There is of co^urs^{e t}he l^ess ^excuse for f^ailure on the part of staff or stud^ents ⁱn thⁱs essent^ial part of University lif^e.

To the students themselves its call is for them to put the gener^al good of th^e Univ^ers^ity ^and ^th^e communⁱty before their own int^er^ests: ^to raⁱse th^eir st^andards of b^ehaviour ^and conduct and make them worthy of what their predecessors,

their frⁱends, ^and ^th^e Unⁱversity h^av^e gⁱven ^them: to t^ake

all that they can from Union House and University and give ^all th^at ^they know how ⁱn r^eturn. If the new Unioⁿ House ⁱs not w^ell used and well tre^at^ed by ^each generatioⁿ of students, ^and h^and^ed oⁿ by them to th^eir succ^essors beautified ^and made ^ev^en mor^e sⁱgnific^ant through th^at ^use, th^en we should b^e sorry for Victor^ia, for ⁱt will mean ��^at th^e flower of her youth ⁱs not worthy of the opportumt1es that i^t h^as had.

THE UNION HOUSE

The Union Board is very desirous of developing the cultural value of the Union; it has been particularly fortu­

nate in the valuable gifts which have brought the fulfilment of this desire within reach.

The gift by Dr. and Mrs. S. A. Ewing and Mr. Geo. Ewing of fifty-six paintings, water-colours and etchings by Aus­

tralian artists, is invaluable. This collection is housed in the Ewing Art Gallery. While the intrinsic value of such a collection is high, it is impossible to estimate the cultural value. The collection is fully described in the Catalogue of the Eimng Art Gallery.

The Rowden White Library has been made possible through the generous gift by Dr. A. E. Rowden White, who donated a sum for the setting up and equipping of a browsing library.

The gift by the three brothers, Messrs. A. S., F. A., and W. M. Cudmore, of the inspiring bas-relief in marble by Web Gilbert, entitled ' The Wheel of Life,' has been placed in the entrance hall. It has been presented to the University in memory of their aunt, Miss Lilian Helen Alexander.

'This bas-relief was inspired by Rudyard Kipling's

"Kim." The central figure is a Buddhist lama who spent his clays in search of the "River of Arrow"

which cleansed from sin and conferred immortality.

He is represented as having found this secret stream and seated himself on its banks, content to spend the rest o [ his days in silent adoration. At this moment the hand of Fate grasps the Wheel of Life, with one turn of which his earthly career is ended!'

We are also grateful to the Australian Paper Manufac­

turers Pty. Ltd. for the gift of the stage equipment and certain of the stage furnishings, formerly of the Garrick

Theatre.

* * *

The Union Board further wishes to thank all those who have worked towards the raising of the necessary funds both for the building of The Union House and for its equip�

14

At one stage during u1 mg operations, it appeared that b 'ld' the eastern wing would have to remain unaltered. The timely and substantial gifts �ro� the Broken Hill Associ�tcd Smelters and the Electrolytic Zmc Company, made possible the completion of The Union House. To these companies we extend our very grateful thanks.

The complete list of donors up to March 21, 19 3 8, _is included in this booklet.

Some time in the near future we hope that The Union House will be completed by the addition of the third storey.

In the meantime, we feel that, with the facilities at our disposal, we have adequate opportunity for developing the Union ideal in the University of Melbourne.
