TRINITY COLLEGE Vol. IV., No. 44

MELBOURNE

Editor: F. K. CROWLEY.

Janet Clarke Hall Representative: Miss BARBARA BORTHWICK.

EDITORIAL "For what we know must be, and is as common as any the most vulgar thing to sense...."

While always bearing in mind the rather obvious futility of irrelevance, there is, nevertheless, always the possibility of being inspired by the pages of "Hamlet." With such a philosophically enlightening quotation, we could either try to estimate the value of epistemology, of textual criticism of isolated and haphazardly selected extracts, or we could investigate general relations, such an investigation being obviously based upon the principle that everything is correlated— or correlatable.

College activities appear to be the outstanding example not only of such a correlation, but also of that presumably existent abstraction which is frequently designated by the mysterious tonephrase "esprit-de-corps." Doubtless the strength of this force is directly or inversely proportional to a large number of intricate and obscure factors, but its development is the sine qua non of the continual elevation of the College as a whole in the eyes of the remainder of the community.

While it is hardly conceivable that the intellectual genii of which the College

often appears to be composed could reach agreement on any matter whatsoever, such being an indication of the generally prevalent vital notions of extreme individualism, of independency in thought, of scepticism and of the paradoxical results of the application of the principle, "Quot homines tot sententiae," it is evident, however, that especially outside the precincts of the College there is present a certain identifiable force which in some obviously metaphysical manner tends to bring together those who now have the privilege of being members of such a noble institution, and also constitute the opposing elements in that grand and inevitably perpetual struggle for eristic conquest.

A quite noticeable trend of late towards delicacy of expression with a certain degree of satisfaction therefrom, seems to be indicative of a real intellectual outburst, only to be equalled in vigour by a corresponding drive towards the refinements of aestheticism and true stagnation, but the controversial nature of these two subjects and the feasibility of such an analogy is well recognised by us, and is merely referred to in passing, while treating with the larger subject, of the corporate nature of the, College as it now exists.

FLEUR -DE-LYS

What greater achievement could be possible in our present interdependent state than the cultivation of a true sense of social relationships? How often it is that intra-College hospitality brings together the extensive differences of fundamentally opposed characters, and keeps them so. Group cohesion, as well as individualism and the existence of potent idiosyncrasies, should be the indispensable outcome of the present cirstance of academical training. It must also be remembered that seclusion during the earlier stages of the inevitable physical and mental development of students is not only advisable for the later careers of graduates, but also does much to cater for a well-balanced society co-existing outside the confines of learning.

The cyclic disturbances brought about by examinations and the periods of proximity to them, have been and will remain a constant feature of College existence. The maintenance of a steady number of cases of examination amnesia — too often unrecognised as such by many examiners — is truly a sign both of the realisation of inability to assimilate sufficient knowledge in the required time, and the intense torture of mental expectation suffered by ever-enduring students.

To offer any constructive proposals for a community, many of whose individual foundations consist essentially of otherdestroying units, could only be equalled by the attempt to erect a system of absolute and unique values apart from and yet upon the basis of universal opinion. But through all the complexity there still appear to be some constants, single pillars upon which rests an enormous superstructure, and whose self-originating activity attempts in vain

3

not only to maintain the condition of its foundations, but also to determine the position and strength of new pillars whose existence can only be brought about through the action of the superstructure itself. The proposal of a new synthesis, to give practical effect merely to a "spirit" pervading throughout any similar superstructure, only possible through extension and consequent distortion is, in most cases, either an impossible or impracticable ideal.

On the other hand, the struggle for the attainment of ideals, so frequently unsatisfying, in a world often thought of as consisting in mere mechanistic processes, stimulates the thoughtful to speculate upon the nature of happiness, and upon the triad of values — beauty, truth and goodness.

Herein lies the opportunuity for those who have some small conception of higher education, to exert themselves in proposing ideals more in conformity with the principles of sound reasoning, and the facts of a constantly changing world.

It hardly appears to be the real task of modern educational methods to achieve the production of a specific type of individual whose outlook is intellectually stagnant, restricted by ultra-practical views, which are alone deemed reasonable, but rather it is to give to the community active minds as well as practicality, minds which have attempted to find some answers to the fundamental questions of our existence: "Is there any theory, philosophy or creed, is there any system or culture, any formulated method able to meet and satisfy each separate item of this agitated pool of human life?" The College has a very definite part to play in such a task.

Wigram Allan Essay SAUCERS Robert W. Dann.

I was sipping a solitary and philosophic cup of tea the other day and meditating on the affection we lavish on useless objects, when the thought suddenly occurred to me: how utterly redundant is the common saucer.

It is true I have been doing without saucers for some time. Their short supply owing to the war and my lazy unwillingness to go black-marketing necessitated my being patient until the return of better times. To fellowstudents I was ready, as a matter of course, to pass off their non-existence at supper-time as highly convenient. To less-sophisticated guests I smilingly explained that saucers were proscribed by tradition — that college "spirit" was absolutely against that sort of thing.

Moreover, I prided myself on my mastery of the technique of dispensing and disposing of tea without its spilling or leaving round, wet marks on the furniture. In short, I had learned to do without saucers. But I had never for a moment doubted that they were an essential part of the way of life we are fighting for, and, with chewing gum and cigars, wrist-watches and rice, would return in their former abundance after the victory. Until, as I said, the other day. Then, with all the persuasiveness and conviction which is said to attend the vision of Plato's Great Light, the truth was borne in upon me that they were utterly, irrevocably redundant.

Naturally enough I have since experienced a deep disdain for the multitude of the unenlightened. Watch the way the ordinary housewife lusts after the hitherto ubiquitous saucer, and the almost sub-human level to which she sinks in order to gratify that lust. She dips into the motley mortuary of bereaved saucers common to every household, and when the shortage extends, watch her deftly and unashamedly appropriate to the breakfast table the

chipped saucer with the cracked glaze that erstwhile served as the feeding dish for the mangy cat that no one has had the heart to drown. And if the shortage has been acute you will notice the same table graced by other saucers proudly reinstated in their former place after temporary consignment to the fowlyard or the dog kennel. Think of the experiments in miniature cactus gardens and the catching of house flies that have suffered unwarranted interruption at the hands of custom-ridden hostesses, zealous to maintain what attenuated reputation they can under the exigencies of total war. Attenuated, because the old saucer rarely fits the contours of the new cup, and one's aesthetic susceptibilities are offended thereby. The sight of an undecorated, stolid, semi-glazed contemporary cup reposing within the parchment-fine, classicly proportioned circle of a saucer of turquoise blue (offset maybe with a faint gold line undulating around its scalloped edge) — this sight, I say, evokes a pained recoil on the part of one's sensitive inner man.

But, you say, saucers are indispensable.

I deny this. Every argument pointing to their necessity is fallacious. Any claim that the saucer is required to prevent the soiling of table linen surely casts a slur on the hostess's care in filling the cup and the guest's refinement in emptying it. For countless generations before its advent men, in quaffing liqour to the gods and their own stomachs, managed quite admirably without this comparatively modern excrescence. Someone will say, of course, that saucers are directly associated with the coming of tea and coffee and are required for the delicate handling of beverages which are served hot.

Yet we manage our hot bonox in a mug and our hot milk in a glass tumbler; and cold drinks that stimulate warmth are daily coming more and more into their own, anyway.

But where shall we put our spoons?

Here, on the face of it, is a solemn difficulty. Personally, I am in favour of a single common spoon handed round from person to person as required. This

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

helps to enhance the spirit of fellowship which should permeate all social gettogethers. But until I write another essay convincing you of the redundancy of multiple spoons, we might provide for them by having a special gadget moulded on the side of the post-war cup. This would do away with an annoyance which especially marks one's handling of a saucer with steep sides — when the cup is raised the spoon slips subtly into the centre and a certain amount of noise and effort is entailed in restoring cup and spoon to their respective places.

Again, if the embarrassing practice must survive of serving guests with supper as they recline comfortably in deep soft chairs, a further argument obtains.

With plate and cup and saucer, even of the finest china, they are much too overloaded to be comfortable. One solution is to dispense with the plate. But saucers are such small things and layer cake is so bulky. Banish the saucer and restore the plate and your worries will vanish.

Having gone thus far in my meditations I began searching about like a true philosopher for some metaphysical concept to give my argument an additional urge. I found it, naturally enough, in historical materialism. It seems, you see, that tea, coffee and saucers came in with the modern bourgeoisie. Tea and coffee were expensive at first, and, with other peculiar privileges of the wealthy,

5

only slowly became available to the proletariat. The accompanying saucer was a mark of gentility. This, with the tea and coffee, soon came to be mass-produced for the masses who are always so willing to ape their imagined "betters."

But its genteel characteristics have long since been swamped. The artisan poured his tea into the saucer, blew upon it, or fanned it with his hat, and gulped it down with sucking noises, hot.

Saucers, then, belong to a civilisation which, like the bourgeoisie, is slowly passing away — a civilisation that loved to give itself airs. Its pseudo-genteel and useless accessories have been disappearing one by one for a generation— antimacassars, warmingpans, the bustle and the moustache have already succumbed to the utilitarianism and cynicism of the new age. Ours is a streamlined era. The verandah has practically gone; the mantlepiece is going; simplicity is the keynote in furnishings; the labour saving specialists have got into the kitchen. The common saucer which is taken down and laid, taken up and washed, is dried and put away three times a day is already marked down for elimination. The saucer is already on the way to oblivion.

Yet even I confess to a sense of impending loss. How great an affection we lavish on useless objects; You demur?

Then sip a solitary and philosophic cup of tea and meditate how utterly redundant is the common saucer.

COLLEGE NOTES

Students' Club President and Senior Student: C. G. Clark.

Hon. Secretary: J. A. Miles.

Hon. Treasurer: R. H. Zimmerman.

Indoor Representative: R. G. Fitzgerald.

Outdoor Representative: W. S. C. Hare.

This year has seen Trinity coming into its own again after a round of war years, and events augur well for the future.

The opening of the year saw the College strength standing, numerically, at sixty-five residents, and in consequence both the Behan and Bishop's buildings were fully occupied by the student body.

However, the R.A.A.F. School of Administration still had the use of Clarke's and the Wooden Wing, thereby necessitating the continuance of double-banking in the Behan building.

Undoubtedly the most successful College functions of all are College dinners which, unfortunately, under present conditions, are held but twice during the year.

The Annual Valedictory Dinner marked the close of last year, our guest and speaker on that occasion being the late Brigadier E. F. Lind.

Early in first term this year some twenty-six freshmen were accorded an official welcome at the Freshers' Dinner, the Rev. J. D. McKie proposing their toast.

Also this year was held the triennial Commemmoration of Benefactors' Dinner, combined with the Valedictory Dinner and preceded by the Benefactors' Service in the College Chapel, when members of the College in residence participated actively in the remembrance of the generosity of men whose foresight gave us our College.

At the end of second term we farewelled the Rev. R. Hamilton, who, as

•

Acting-Chaplain earned the admiration and respect of all. His departure followed the resignation of the former Chaplain, the Rev. J. D. McKie—who has been on leave to the Army since 1940 and returned to take over another post — and the consequent appointment of a former member of the College, the Rev. J. N. Falkingham, as Chaplain. It is a pleasure to see members of the College returning as Tutors, another past student being Mr. C. M. H. Clark, who is with us temporarily.

Our congratulations go to two other tutors — Mr. E. A. Kaye for his welldeserved good fortune in obtaining a technical research job involving a trip to England, and Mr. A. T. Austin on the occasion of his engagement to Miss Margaret McKimmie, and, in addition, for winning a Commonwealth Government Scholarship to London University.

Intercollegiate sport has flourished this year, but still only on an unofficial basis. Trinity's success came in the Rowing, the crew having magnificent victories in the Intercollegiate race, and against the Extras, from whom they thus wrested the John Lang Cup. Although it is perhaps undesirable to single out individuals, it is felt that a measure of praise is due to Mr. W. S. C. Hare, who was the moving spirit and leader of many teams.

With the approval of the Heads of Colleges, it was decided, through the Intercollegiate Delegacy, to re-establish official intercollegiate sport in 1945.

Only two sporting fixtures were held in the single week of Swot Vac. The Elliott Fours was successful, as is always the case: Gentlemen hitherto uninitiated in the arts displayed unnaturally fine talent both on and off the water, and the refreshment was of the best brand. The event was won by Mr. F. J. H. Moreton's Crew after a keen tussle in the final.

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

The second fixture was the Annual Hockey match against Janet Clarke Hall —or, "The Gentlemen versus the Players": it might be admitted that perhaps neither lived up to their true form.

However, the Gentlemen, arrayed somewhat less ostentatiously than usual, but nevertheless resplendent, met the Players, who looked charming in the latest fashions, in a match of somewhat unorthodox play. The net result after time each way, not a little confusion, broken skin, loss of breath, and two goals each, was a draw, Trinity thereby retaining the Committee Cup. The Juttoddie Handicap was run early in third term, the winner being a speedy freshman — J. E. Cranswick.

Squash is played with vigour by many gentlemen, although the supply of balls is extremely difficult to maintain. However, there were competitions in this exercise, and the indoor sports of chess and billiards were held during the year.

Common Room Dances have been enjoyed by those who attended; an extra Dance was held in second term in place of Play Night.

The Music Society has shown considerable activity, sponsoring the distribution of two concert tickets to interested members and the buying of a number of records. This Society receives an annual grant from the Associated Clubs, which is intended to cover these costs.

The Fiction Library also receives a grant, and at the end of last year a number of new books were bought.

A scheme, initiated by the previous Committee, was finally put into effect when parcels of tobacco and cigarettes were sent to old College men in German prisoner-of-war camps. We sincerely hope that they may be liberated even before they receive them.

Our thanks and appreciation are due to the Matron, Miss Rushton, for her valuable assistance and co-operation, especially in the organisation of College Dinners and the decoration of the Common Room on Dance nights. Thanks are . also due to those members of the domestic staff who have stood by us through difficult times. Last, but by no means

'7

least, must be mentioned the College Overseer, Syd. Wynne, whose services are invaluable to the College.

And what of the College next year?

Word has come to hand recently that the R.A.A.F. are vacating the University Colleges, and this means that we shall have building space to expand again.

That we shall expand in numbers seems, at this stage, certain. We only hope that old students who left College to join the Forces will soon have the opportunity of returning.

Such as do return will find a few changes, but College spirit and tradition are still very much alive and constitute the fabric of a place that shall always be essentially Trinity College.

CHAPEL NOTES The Christian's approach to God is with humility. He feels that he is unworthy to be brought into the real Presence of the Eternal. He enters into the worship of God along with other personalities throughout and beyond the world so that his devotion is both personal and social. Thus, when we enter the Chapel, we enter both as individuals and as members of a community which can be strengthened and enriched by such corporate acts. The Chapel should be the very centre of College life because there we meet as equals — all children in the sight of God. It is the one place in the College where we may speak with one voice and in a concerted act of worship to God — individual differences are placed in the background, and it is the communal side of the College which comes to the forefront.

This point is stressed especially on those days when Corporate Communions are held for the College. We think of the needs of Trinity when we offer our prayers in the most important service of the Church, in which the Sacrifice which Christ made at Calvary is pleaded and His love is showered forth on us. It is fitting that we, as a community, should gather together at appropriate times to remember that

8

THE FLEUR -DE-LYS

that Sacrifice was not made only for individuals, but for mankind as a whole, of which we are a part.

Throughout the service of the Holy Communion with special intention for the College, the main thought centres around the relation of the College to God. First we pray that the thought of all our hearts may be cleansed by the inspiration of God's Holy Spirit, after which we are reminded of the law which forms the basis of any community; without this law of love the community can no longer exist. In the Creed the College, as a whole, makes its profession of faith, acknowledging the Creator of that primary law of the community. At the Prayer for the whole state of Christ's Church, all the needs of the College, both temporal and spiritual, are mentioned. It is in this prayer, too, that all who in the past have given to the College the fruits of their time, talents and labours, are remembered with thanksgiving.

After the confession of sins the whole community is challenged to lift their hearts to the Lord. The College surrenders itself to the Love and Power of God who takes us into His Presence at the words of the Sanctus. This is answered by the offering of Christ's Body and Blood in the Prayer of Consecration and the Communion of the people. Intercession, praise, and thanksgiving are summed up in the Lord's Prayer — the prayer of the whole family of God. The service ends with the Blessing which sends us forth once more, reminded of the corporate idea of the College.

This year there have been three College Corporate Communions. At the second one the Rev. R. Hamilton celebrated for the last time as ActingChaplain. The College as a whole remembered with thanks the work which he was enabled to do in this place and prayed that he would be given strength to continue as a source of help to those with whom he may come into contact.

Visiting preachers in the Chapel have been His Grace the Archbishop; the

Very Reverend the Dean; and Dr. W. L. Carrington. Devotional addresses have been given to the Guild of the Sanctuary by the Revs. W. G. Thomas, O. J. Brady, J. D. McKie, F. Oliver and Canon E. Maynard.

DIALECTIC SOCIETY During the year the following gentlemen held office:— President: The Warden.

Vice-President: Mr. A. G. L. Shaw.

Secretary: Mr. J. W. Chisholm.

Committee: Messrs. Zimmerman, Edwards and Barker.

During the year Mr. Chisholm resigned and Mr. Barker was elected Secretary, Mr. Dann being elected to the Committee.

Meetings.—Six general meetings were held during the year, including a modified Freshers' Debate and a very entertaining Impromptu Night.

Vice-President: Mr. A. G. L. Shaw.

Secretary: Mr. J. W. Chisholm.

Committee: Messrs. Dann, Edwards and Graham.

At the conclusion of the meeting the President awarded the Society's prizes for the year.

Review of the Year.—The Society has had a sufficiently successful year. The average attendance at meetings was fifteen, and most of the debates were interesting. The Society need have little fear for the future.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY The year began with some expectation of reviving play reading in the College.

The freshers' play was a magnificent success, showing there was plenty of talent latent among the freshers.

A very short space of time (two days) in which to prepare a play for presentation after the Freshers' Dinner necessitated a great deal of ingenuity. We improvised costumes (one lengthy student was stunning in a kilt, but aroused some confusion as a number of people mistook him for a witch), improvised scenery, and even improvised a script.

By dint of lunch time and evening practices a very sorry affair was finally slapped into a presentable shape. The play was a contemporaneous "Macbeth."

In the first scene Witches Joske and Ruston discussed with Duke MacBehan

9

methods of disposing of King Leeper who, "although a great old dear, was lasting longer than he ought." MacBehan is advised to "watch out for young Duke MacCorben," and leaves, to entertain King Leeper at his castle.

In the next scene MacCorben arrives at the castle, being admitted by the ambitious Syd O'Wynee, and discovers the murdered body of King Leeper, whereupon he calls up the attendants to "Ring the Bell! Rouse the guards! Search the castle and scour the yards!"

Later MacCorben accuses MacBehan, who has by then achieved his ambition and becomes King, of committing this crime, whereupon MacBehan sends murderers who liquidate (by means of a toasting fork and the college axe) MacCorben's wife and son (six feet two in his napkins).

Eventually a general uprising brings to MacBehan's castle students outside, each armed with a sword. After a bloody battle MacBehan is slain by MacCorben, and his death is celebrated before the close of the curtains (which chose this moment to break) to the strains of the Anvil Chorus.

The hopes of the Society faded with other activities dominating the College. This was particularly due to the allure of J.C.H. play readings every second Sunday evening. Many enjoyable evenings were spent there by regular readers. If the Society awakens next year there will be at least a nucleus of practised readers. Thus there should be hope of stimulating not only the regulars but also interesting others in play reading circles in the College and so possibly returning some of the hospitality readers have received from Janet Clarke Hall.

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

SPORTS NOTES FOOTBALL

Unfortunately only two practice games could be arranged this year before the Intercollegiate matches. Both of these we won — against M.G.S. and Queen's.

The traditional trip to Geelong Grammar was cancelled this year as suitable transport could not be arranged.

A fortnight before the Newman match we obtained the services of an experienced trainer, Mr. McCrae, who coached the winning team in 1939, and immediately an improvement in enthusiasm and play became noticeable.

The game against Newman opened under perfect conditions, and in a rather scrambly first half Newman obtained a lead of 5-5 to 4-3.

After the interval we took the field determined to establish a decisive lead.

Newman, however, playing very systematic football, broke through the back lines which, until this time, had saved the day, to establish a lead of 10-8 to 4-6.

With several changes in position the College team immediately began to make up the leeway. Five goals were added in the first quarter of an hour, and it seemed that a victory was possible.

However, Newman steadied at the last minute to maintain their lead, the final scores being: Newman-12 goals 11 behinds (83 pts.)

Trinity-9 goals 9 behinds (63 pts)

ROWING The Committee consisted of W. S. C. Hare (Capt.), R. T. Boynton, R. H. Zimmerman. Once again the crew was ably coached by Mr. J. F. G. Darby.

As the distance had been increased to one mile it was decided that a more extensive course of training should be carried out than has been the case in the last two years. With the addition of several freshmen to the crew we started on rather long swings in the "Hughes." In the initial stages the crew was very rough and did not show much

.

promise. However, by concentration on the fundamentals the crew developed a powerful leg-drive and finish, which were important factors in the ultimate success.

We changed into the "Fleur de Lys" first after Easter and had her fairly steady after several rows. As the race drew near our confidence rose, although we were far from being "favourites."

The heats were held on Wednesday, 26th April. In the first heat Trinity met Queen's. In the first quarter-mile Queen's, striking much higher on the centre course, drew away to a small lead.

However, approaching the Big Bend Trinity, with better timing and stronger leg work, quickly drew away and, rowing more together, won comfortably by several lengths.

The final was rowed against Ormond on the following day into a slight head breeze. At the start Ormond, on the centre course, went quickly away to a lead of one length. Trinity, after pass' ing under Morell Bridge, were still a length behind, but by this stage were rowing well together with solid leg work.

At the Big Bend Trinity, on the north, slowly overtook Ormond, who were showing signs of tiring. Down the straight it was a neck and neck struggle — anybody's race. However, in the last hundred yards Trinity, rowing strongly, forged ahead to win by a quarter of a length.

On the Friday the College crew defeated the Extra-collegiate crew by one and three-quarter lengths to win the John Lang Cup. This contest was official this year, and hence the College will hold the Cup for the following year.

THE FLEUR-DE-LYS TENNIS

The Intercollegiate tennis was played near the end of the Swat Vac., with very little practice. We played Newman in the first round and won quite comfortably. Scores:— Singles Hare d. Tighe, 6-0, 6-1.

Edwards d. Corcoran, 6-3, 8-6.

Denton d. Cleary, 6-3, 6-4.

Gough lost to Fysh, 3-6, 4-6.

Doubles Hare-Gough d. Tighe-Corcoran, 6-2, 6-3.

Hare-Gough d. Cleary-Fish, 6-2, 6-3.

Edwards-Denton, d. Tighe-Corcoran, 6-2, 6-3.

Edwards-Denton d. Cleary-Fysh, 6-3, 6-2.

Trinity: 7 Rubbers, 14 Sets, 93 Games.

Newman: 1 Rubber, 2 Sets, 48 Games.

In the final match we played Ormond, who had defeated Queen's in the first round. Although most of the matches were hard-fought, the scores show that we were rather overwhelmed. Scores:— Singles Hare lost to Anderson, 3-6, 4-6.

Heywood lost to Marshall, 6-4, 2-6, 0-6.

Edwards lost to Colman, 3-6, 4-6.

Denton lost to Doig, 2-6, 4-6.

Doubles Hare-Heywood lost to Anderson-Marshall, 6-8, 8-6, 3-6.

Hare-Heywood lost to Colman-Doig, 6-0, 2-6, 4-6.

Edwards-Denton d Anderson-Marshall, 6-8, 8-6, 6-4.

Edwards-Denton lost to Colman-Doig, 2-6, 3-6.

Ormond, 7 Rubbers, 15 Sets, 110 Games.

Trinity: 1 Rubber, 5 Sets, 82 Games.

We congratulate Ormond on their good win, and with the increased ration of tennis balls we look forward next year to a continued improvement in the standard of our tennis.

CRICKET

The revival of inter-collegiate cricket, while welcomed, was none the less a

13

cause of great anxiety. The search for talent was exacting, but finally enough ardent supporters were found. After an inspection of the turf in the Bullpaddock it was evident that whatever practice we were to indulge in would have to be carried out elsewhere. Authority has it that the cows dug the great holes in the turf; however, our suspicions have not yet been allayed.

When the day of the big match arrived our talents had been improved by no less than three practices. Queen's won the toss and elected to bat.

The first two wickets feel quickly, and we positively oozed with confidence— and perspiration. But then something seemed to go wrong. Our bowlers seemed to have lost their initial vitality and Queen's piled up run after run.

Finally the side was dismissed, Denton, Aberdeen and Gough taking the wickets.

Facing a score of 176 we did not feel unduly dismayed. However, our hopes soon fell when the first four wickets fell for only 33 runs. A momentary burst of hope was brought forth when Denton and Egerton carried the score to 56.

Disaster quickly followed, and the score stood at 79 when the last man retired from the crease.

With such a miserable score to our credit we were obliged to "follow on."

Bouvier and Miles opened and quickly carried the score to 25 before the partnership was broken. With Denton and Aberdeen both batting confidently the 50 mark was rapidly passed. With the score at 72 Denton went l.b.w. to Williams, having scored a valuable 25.

Burke then joined Aberdeen, who batting brilliantly, confounded critics and bookies alike. While Burke batted patiently Aberdeen was quickly sending up the score, even hitting a six. The 150 mark was soon passed, with both batsmen looking as safe as ever.

At 5.10 in the afternoon we declared, thus leaving 40 minutes in which either we had to dismiss Queen's or they had to make the necessary 74 runs for an outright victory.

The first wicket fell in the first over, and victory seemed a little closer. How-

14

THE FLEUR-DE-LYS

ever, Queen's soon mastered our tired bowlers, Leembruggen turning on a brilliant exhibition of faultless batting.

At seven minutes to six our score was passed, Queen's thus winning outright by nine wickets.

As usual, we were glorious in defeat, but the game seemed to have been enjoyed by all, despite the fact that for the next week most of the team suffered with grave physical disabilities.

JOHNNY GOT A GIRL Johnny Toyne had knocked around. He knew all the answers. Army records described him as "twenty-four, fair hair, blue eyes, five feet nine in height . . . scars on left knee and chest, little finger of right hand missing," but they didn't know nothing. Johnny was a beau.

There were a dozen women scattered along the trail from Kansas City, Kansas, to Melbourne, Victoria, who could have told you more. The way he snapped finger and thumb together when he was nervous, or dropped his voice to a whisper that seemed to snarl up the magic waves breaking on a moonlit beach, under the stars. That was the real Johnny. Or the other part of him that came out when the jungle was crackling at night, and the snap of a broken twig might be animal or Jap. His men could have told tales. Lieutenant J. Toyne, night fighter. He was at his best after dusk.

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

Johnny lounged over to the guard house, flicking a speck of dust from his clothes as he went. Tie straight. Uniform pressed. Leave pass O.K. If he couldn't get out to-night he'd know the reason why. This unit stank. The discipline was strickter than hell. Worse than P. C. Wren has painted the French Foreign Legion. He couldn't think what had induced him to transfer from the old bunch, unless he had been suffering from jungle juice fever. Four flaring days he had been in this cokehole, with the screwiest crew of jackdaws he had ever had the bad fortune to meet.

And not a sign of a skirt. Even the birds were all males. For four days and three nights he had been struggling through red tape to get a leave pass, and it had been tougher than wrestling a tank bare handed. But he had 'em licked at last.

He could see the lights of the town through the gate, and they were morsing him the hurry signal. Even that ivory domed piece of horse-flesh that masqueraded as a guard couldn't stop him now. Johnny Toyne, Lieutenant, of the U.S. Army, was going on the tear. He handed up his piece of paper and waited while the numbskull in the guardhouse looked at it. The time he was taking you'd think he was waiting for an O.K. from General MacArthur.

Then the gate opened, and Johnny was through.

It didn't take very long. She was sitting in a cafe, drinking a cup of tea, and looking like a million dollars that has been turned down by some no account fool that didn't know his greenbacks.

Johnny took a chair at the same table.

"What's the matter, beautiful?"

Johnny always called his women "beautiful" for the first ten minutes. Then, when he was working up to the big moment he would switch, and call them "sugar." He never called any girl "sugar" unless he knew that he had her in the bag. "Say, your boy friend turn you down?"

The girl nodded, and bit into a sandwich savagely. As if she wished it had been something else. A hunk of boy friend, maybe.

15

"Waal, don't cry about it. There are plenty more where he came from."

"Yes, but he ... he promised ..." The girl was biting back the tears now. In another two minutes she would be drinking normal saline instead of tea. Johnny felt he would like to meet that boy friend and put a lump of leather where it would do most good. She was a peach all right.

Johnny could leave his eyes resting on a piece like this one all day without getting eyestrain. He moved a bit closer.

"Tell me all about it, beautiful. It'll do you good to get it off your chest."

Well, you're not dumb. You've seen it worked before now, I guess. Probably had a toss of pitching woo yourself, when you were younger. Plan B went into operation on schedule. Johnny suggested a walk, and the girl thought it was a shiny notion. This new unit that Johnny had been transferred to might not have many points on the offal yard of a slaughter house, but at least it was handy to a good town. Any place that held a figure and a face like this girl carried round with her was a good town. A rip roaring hundredpercenter. Just now Johnny felt he could put up with a cartload of red tape, if he could get such a honey every time he unravelled the tangle. He felt he was beginning to like his new unit.

They walked out of the cafe. The stars were lit up like the lights of Broadway, and the air was warm and soft on their faces.

"Listen, sugar. Can you hear that sighing. That is the wind in a hunk of tree. And it has the same idea about you, sugar, as I have. It can't quite get the words out, but it is trying to say that it loves you, and it wants to hold you in its arms and feel the warmth of your lips. This night is made to order, with a special delivery of moon, and a hundred-piece orchestra to grind out the music for us. The crickets, and the breeze, and all the funny little noises of the night, are singing their theme song.

Come to me, sugar."

Did I say that Johnny was a night fighter?

16

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

He slipped an arm round her waist, and his head bent down to hers. And the arm went clean through her. Her lips were as soft as air, and her hair as insubstantial as the breeze, to him. The girl screamed, and screamed again, as she saw that mist-like form dissolving in front of her. She swayed, and fell heavily to the ground, cracking her head on the kerb. And Johnny couldn't save her. She just fell through his arms.

Ker-plunk.

Yes, Johnny got transferred to a new unit four days ago. When he was fighting in the Halmaheras. There is a new wound in his chest, and it won't ever be a scar. And Lieutenant J. Toyne is hopping mad, because they didn't tell him these things. He's going to write a letter to General Ulysses Grant. Or something.—M.P.S.

A MEDICAL SERVICE FOR THE NATION

•

The practice of medicine is a technical matter worthy of intelligent discussion only among those trained in the science, but the utilisation of this science is of equal importance to the members of the profession and to the community which they serve. An efficient medical service should include the adequate treatment of the diseased, intent on the cure of the disease and the relief of suffering. Not less important should be the prevention of disease, covering many sociological problems, including those of housing and education. Research forms the basis of any progress in both clinical and preventive medicine.

Adequate treatment of the sick involves the training of men and women of sufficient intelligence to assimilate the necessary technical knowledge, and of such moral character that this knowledge may be applied exclusively for the benefit of the sick. This desirable moral character is difficult to define, but it would appear that honesty and sincerity are not the prerogative of the children of the rich, nor is avarice peculiar to those of the lower income groups.

Until this year complete and adequate treatment was available in the greater cities of the Commonwealth to those in the lower income groups who were willing and permitted to accept charitable aid, and to those of the higher income groups capable of bearing the expense involved by a severe illness. The research work performed has been limited by the. extent of endowments. Preventive medicine has been extolled primarily by the manufacturers of patent medicines as a further means to pecuniary gain, although the appointment of government health officers has produced more useful results in this field. The general educational system is inadequate and becoming antiquated, while popular medical education is non-existent. Such is the present state of medical affairs.

This year a significant change has occurred. The Federal Government announced, as part of its policy, that complete and adequate medical attention shall be available to every citizen, and that the citizen shall contribute to the expense of this medical service in proportion to his ability to pay; that is to his income, not in proportion to the nature of his disease.

It must be realised that this is not a technical matter worthy of discussion only among those trained in medical science, but concerns the utilisation of the science and is of importance to every citizen. If the application of this principle should cause distress in any way to the members of the medical profession and their dependants, then consideration should be shown for them; consideration relative to their numerical proportion, that is approximately 30,000 in 7,000,000. However, the method whereby this principle should be applied is a highly technical matter, and any practical scheme must have the cooperation of the profession.

As yet no scheme has been finally accepted, and it is unfortunate that executives of the British Medical Association should have attacked the policy of the Government, which embodies the

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

principle underlying the so-called "Nationalisation of Medicine." This criticism is particularly unfortunate, since no attempt has ever been made to assess the opinion of all members of the Association concerning the principle of Nationalisation. It would be better if these gentlemen devoted their critical energies to constructing a satisfactory scheme which, if adopted, would become the law of the land and would be recognised as the will of the majority. Even a democracy has means to control those who refuse to obey the law.

Any scheme proposed will have to decide many difficult problems. How will the practitioner be paid — by salary or a "fee-for-service" or a combination of the two methods? Will central clinics, such as exist in the metropolitan public hospitals, be established elsewhere?

What will be the place of the family physician? How will promotion be determined? Many other details will require expert consideration, but adequate facilities must be provided for post-graduate study and research. The control of a national medical service should remain in the hands of the medical profession.

It has been suggested that much honorary work is provided under present conditions which would be lost under nationalisation. If the incomes and social status of those providing these honorary services are examined, it will be evident that they should be wellsatisfied with their treatment by the community, and that their sacrifice is small when compared with social welfare workers, clergymen and educationists. Surely only the naive would suggest that health should be dependant on public charity.

The technical progress of medicine continues at a great pace. It is the duty of community, and the medical profession in particular, to parallel in their social applications these technical advances. In the last century medicine has advanced at an increasing rate. Let us not halt now.—E.A.

RHAPSODY ON A TYPEWRITER Wonders for a moment, but forgets to wonder in the stare of eyes fixed in uncomprehending pain ât unremembering emptiness of other eyes.

In the street passing and people pass unnoticed in the wondering and the vague unacknowledged nagging of outraged conscience.

Swinging doors open to romance under tropic skies where barmaids come and go talking of Michelangelo.

Big blonde beauty with the broad broad beam, does double duty in a drifting dream.

Forty-nine whiskies and sixteen beers, close your eyes and the devil appears.

Into the street, unsteadily, people passing, passing memory forgotten now passing people passing noises traffic loud and lights unnoticed crossing now, policeman perhaps but on the other side, safe no policeman.

DISCIPLINE I was quietly reposing in my chair one evening before dinner, when the light scraping of uncertain footsteps in the corridor outside disturbed my reverie.

They faltered at my door, and after a moment my fears were rewarded by a timid knock. As there was no response to my invitation to enter, and as there was no sound of departing footsteps, I got up and opened the door. There in the twilight stood a dark-clad figure, stiffly at attention, who deferentially

18

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

enquired if this were the Officers' Mess.

I could only deny the distinction, and point out its unmistakable location at the other end of the corridor. Unable to identify me, silhouetted against the fading light, he maintained his attitude of exaggerated respect, humbly apologised, and left me, embarrassed and wondering.

For more than two years I have been living close to the School for Service Officers, and have often been conscious of the same feeling of embarrassment, and also of sympathetic indignation, as I saw the trainees being shouted at and abused by their instructors. It has always seemed that the result, if not the purpose, of demanding the perfect execution of those elaborate drill movements, would be to suppress any independent activity of thought in the minds of the men who carry them out; and this impression was strengthened by the general demeanor which the trainees display before their superiors.

Of course, the avowed object of discipline in the Service is to enable orders to be obeyed automatically, so that the various units may function as parts of one machine. Just how automatic the response will be depends on how completely the men who make up the parts of this machine forgo their ability to assess the worth of the orders they receive. Whether the results of the orders will be good depends on the capabilities of the officers from whom they issued.

Yet, actually, in the Service, it would seem that this latter consideration is secondary. The emphasis is rather an unhesitating obedience to commands issued from above.

It is not my purpose to enquire whether this is the best way the Service could function, but rather to examine the means the Service employs to attain its peculiar state of efficiency. Men have to be persuaded by some plausible kind of argument before they will relinquish their freedom of thought and action. Unfortunately, what seems a plausible argument to some minds may

actually be quite perverse A small pamphlet entitled "Guide to Service— Officers," which fell into my hands, yielded both the Service definition of discipline and the argument by which men are to be persuaded to accept it: "What is discipline and why is it necessary? It may be true that it is love that makes the world go round, but it is even more true that it is obedience which keeps it in its place — obedience to the laws of gravity and centrifugal force — by which it is retained in its. appointed orbit round the sun. It is subject to discipline, as is the sun itself and • the whole of the universe.

Therefore, it may be said briefly that discipline is obedience; but it is definitely more, for discipline means instantaneous, uncompromising, unquestioning and cheerful obedience. It may be said that discipline is the art of making people do things as if they liked doing them. Discipline is a necessity in all organised life. Without discipline there can be no real efficiency.

Therefore there are rules, without which chaos would be the result.... Sometimes there are people who wilfully kick against the pricks, invariably injuring themselves in doing so, without in any way arresting the majestic course of the laws by which we are all equally bound. ... Discipline is founded on a belief in its necessity.... But it must, like any other law — civil or service — be backed by the sanctions of force and punishment."

If the author of these illuminating lines had not been in the Service, he could surely have been a bad poet. I can vaguely recall my own first experiences of parental discipline. How arbitrary seemed those rules I was made to follow; how unjust seemed the punishments I had to bear! But as I grew older, I began to see beyond my own small selfish sphere. Gradually I became conscious of some purpose higher than the mere suppression of my infant self. The habits I formed at the time were simply consequences of my desire to avoid punishment. In later

THE

years I came to realise that what I had learnt was a fit way to behave in the society in which I found myself.

In my immaturity I had felt that I was subject to immutable laws, whose only function was to be obeyed; but with my mental development, these laws lost their first absolute character. I saw that the world and the people about me did not exist solely for my convenience.

Those arbitrary laws revealed themselves simply as rules derived from men's experience of how harmonious relations within society are maintained. Of themselves they have no permanence, but vary with the changing conditions within society. In its highest form, the sanctions of force and punishment can be dispensed with, leaving discipline entirely self-imposed.

Yet the Service Guide is bold to place before adult men that primitive definition of discipline, which a young child might conceive before it had attained the full use of its mental faculties. This definition is, then, justified by analogy with scientific laws. If the author had only had a clear concept of the nature of scientific laws he might have been led by his analogy to a more rational idea of discipline. His interpretation of the observed motions of the heavenly bodies is not very different from that found in popular books on astronomy written in the middle of the last century.

There we find that the heavenly bodies move in obedience to fixed laws selected by divine wisdom. When, after years of laborious intellectual enquiry, it was found that the motions could be described in relatively simple mathematical terms, the conclusion was that divine wisdom had seen fit to choose simple laws, within the reach of man's intellect. In those days the word "law" carried with it the association of obedience to authority, which it had gained from its use in jurisprudence. Confusion was bound to arise whenever more refined observational data were obtained, which were incompatible with these simple laws. Instead of having to alter

19

the revelation of the immutable laws, from time to time, as fresh data demanded, it was found more convenient to take a rational approach to the concept of scientific law.

Stripped of all metaphysical speculation, the scientific law has now become a summary of human experience in a particular field. The notion of obedience is replaced by one of contingency — in the world, things just happen the way they do. It then involves no alteration of principle to modify or replace the current law in order to encompass new phenomena of experience. But the old associations still linger in unenlightened sections of the community. Among these we find the dogmatists and reactionaries, the people with closed minds, who refuse to accept evidence and oppose progress.

In thus asserting the absolute character of scientific laws, and thereby identifying this character with that of discipline, the author of the pamphlet gives to his argument a tremendous emotional appeal which is quite undeserved.

The unreasoning mind cannot fail to be impressed with the picture of the mighty orbs of heaven, moving in vast orbits, obedient to the dictates of immutable laws. It is then swept on to accept the thesis that discipline is obedience, just as implicit, just as unquestioning, to immutable laws of conduct. To check any doubts which reason may inspire, the threat of punishment is raised up as a bulwark to the flimsy structure.

Now, in some circumstances, intellectual deception of this kind may be tolerated, but here it is difficult to see how even the efficiency of the Service can be a sufficient justification. To conform to the Service idea of discipline must entail the complete subjugation of the faculties of critical analysis an d. intellectual initiative, in all but executive officers.

Can we, then, expect nothing more than a progressive degeneration of mental activity in those men who have been assimilated into the Service way l',

of life? In order to build the New World upon the ruins left by this war, our youth must be possessed of a clear vision, a burning enthusiasm, and a brave resolve.

How many men will pass out of the Service still retaining these qualities, fit to take their part in the great task which lies ahead?—K.C.W.-S.

NEW DAY This is a simple story; it concerns a boy. The scene is set in a field just as the sun is rising. It is the morning after a great battle, and the tilled earth is covered with the twisted remains of tanks, guns and men, all engines of war.

The boy stands alone, one of many, yet alone, in the mist of what to him appears a desolate field. The youth looks about, a youth young in body, but dazed and sick. What was a great machine of power, conquest and victory has gone; there remains but a mass of metal and dejected souls.

The boy's idol has fallen, the great face he worshipped has been crushed— it conquered to the south, to the north and to the west, but at last found defeat and shame. Soon the victors will come and the Great Cause will be gone for ever. Our youth looks askance; he fears, lie wonders, "should it be that a son of THE RACE be subject to such humiliation at the hands of these barbarians?"

The young veteran seeks and finds hatred in the eyes of his captors, but he shouts and cries that it was they not he who brought this destruction. They threatened his freedom, his liberty, his rights; like a great flame they swept through the land. It was they who preached their doctrines and undermined his nation, like the rest of the world they threatened his future. The boy was assured, for his Leader had told him that it was for his very existence he struggled. This enemy was strong, ferocious, cunning, even fanatic, but it was for a better cause that he fought— for the Fatherland, its future, his people; it was a former glory he went

to claim, a destiny of which his nation had been wrongfully deprived by a brutal world that sought its ruin. The boy thought, "they ruled and dominated us until we were united once more, united by a Great Leader who removed our chains. Once again we were a nation and could seek revenge."

The young warrior had endured a great deal; he was delirious. He remembered his father, a grey-haired old man, a cripple; he had been maimed in the last war, but he never seemed to like to talk about it. The boy remembered how the old gentleman had cried the day he first came home in his uniform; he told his son not to be proud ... it did not matter, however, as he passed away soon after this conflict began.... It was to his Uncle Fritz that the recruit had looked, for it was he who had filled him with the glories of his race and had told him of its great history and of the future that was rightly his. Poor Fritz had stayed behind last time making buttons or something for the troops.

He told his nephew that although he himself had not experienced the joys and glory of being a warrior, he knew what it must be like. The plump, red-faced gentleman had spent many an evening telling the child stories of the victories of the past, and under the scornful eye of his father told what the future would bring. At Christmas it was toy guns that Uncle Fritz gave, whereas the cripple gave his son books.

And now that future that had been so oft-promised was gone, dashed to the ground by the despicable foe. Once again as before they were going to take his nation's independence and subject him to shame. He had come to defend his Fatherland, but it seemed his effort was in vain. Battle had not been as his Uncle had promised, glorious and great, but bloody, agonising and hard. As he looked about he realised that he was one of the few left. Hans, Herman and Carl were gone.

He was furious, for it was they who had killed his comrades, those demons, those beasts—and now they came to herd

those who were left like swine. The boy sensed that they hated him just as he hated them.

But wait! His captors were not as he had been warned — ruthless and fierce —they were plain, they were peasants

like himself, they were silent and appeared sad . . . they reminded the boy of home. The youth wondered, could it have been that he had been wrong, and that this was what his father had meant when he had said that one day he might understand?—R.H.Z.

TRINITY COLLEGE

ROLL OF HONOUR NOTES I. Special effort has been given to the task of making the particulars more comprehensive and accurate than has hitherto been practicable. The undertaking has involved weeks of research, during which the Warden has had the enthusiastic assistance of several former members of the College; to them he wishes now to tender his grateful thanks. He realises however that, despite all his efforts and those of his collaborators, errors and omissions are still inevitable. He would be glad if friends and relatives of those in the Services, and the men and women themselves, would come forward more frequently (and spontaneously) with relevant information.

2. Wherever the asterisk appears it means that the man concerned has served in two World Wars.

3. Distinctions gained in the first World War have been omitted in the compilation of distinctions awarded during the present war. They appear only in appropriate places in the general list.

OLD STUDENTS

OLD BOYS' NOTES Last year we were able to congratulate R. G. Casey on being the first Trinity man to gain a seat in the British Cabinet when he was appointed British Resident Minister in Cairo. Since then he received an even higher distinction when he was appointed Governor of Bengal, perhaps the highest Indian post after the Viceroy. Once again we offer congratulations and good wishes in this exacting and important post.

We also have pleasure in congratulating Sir Edmund Herring on his appointment as Chief Justice of Victoria, and Charles Murray on his elevation to episcopal rank in the Riverina.

W. K. Hancock has achieved the summit of any academic career by being appointed to a chair at Oxford University, again the first time such a distinction has been awarded to a Trinity man, though to those who have had the opportunity of studying his written work, it can hardly be said to be surprising. He says he is now writing a life of his father, Archdeacon Hancock, "in his spare time."

Sir Clive Baillieu is showing that a college man can be a success in industry as well as in a profession. He is now President of the Federation of British Industries, and Chairman of the F.B.I. Empire Committee. During the year he was on an official mission to the United States.

Chester Wilmot is now reporting the war in Europe for the B.B.C., after having been in North Africa, including Tobruk, Greece, Syria, Malaya and New Guinea. He must be one of the most travelled of war correspondents; one of his latest feats was to accompany the airborne division which landed in Normandy behind the "Atlantic Wall." Later still he managed to keep alive in a "slaughter" of correspondents for breaches of the censorship regulations,

so we can still listen to his broadcasts from the battlefields.

Cecil Parsons, after twenty-five missions over Germany, has now made eight missions in a Liberator Squadron in the N.E.I. Twice now he has been mentioned in despatches. His contemporary, Alec Borthwick, who was released from the army last year to join the Department of External Affairs, is now on the staff of the Australian Minister in New Zealand.

Trinity is also represented in the Australian Legation in Moscow — by John ("Peanuts") MacMillan.

Another Trinity man to return to civil life is John McKie. Formerly AssistantChaplain-General, he is now vicar of Christ Church, South Yarra, where he is helped in his ministrations by Bill Potter.

Manning Clark has left Geelong Grammar School to take up the post of Lecturer in Political Science at the University. While coping with the difficulties of house-building in war-time he is helping to maintain the morale of the college "high table." In this he is being assisted by the new chaplain, John Falkingham.

We congratulate four college men who were decorated for distinguished war services in the last year: SquadronLeader W. G. Manifold, who gained a bar to his D.F.C.; Sub-Lieutenant K. B. Myer, D.S.C.; Brigadier W. A. Hailes, C.B.E.; and Lieutenant-Colonel R. S. Smibert, O.B.E.

DEATHS ON SERVICE It is with deep regret that we have to record the deaths on active service of three former members of the College.

To their families we convey our sincere sympathy.

Flying-Officer W. R. Kilpatrick was killed in air operations on 31st July,

THE FLEUR-DE-LYS 1943, when attacking enemy shipping near Boulogne. He was only in College for one year, 1940, when he was in the cricket and athletics teams and a victorious Elliott Fours' crew. He was one of the early Empire Air Scheme trainees, went overseas in 1941, and as a fighter-pilot carried out many difficult sorties.

Flight-Lieutenant N. R. Pugh was killed when escorting a convoy in the Arafura Sea on 29th May, 1944. He came to College from Geelong Grammar in 1940 to study law. His two years' residence showed a man of keen intelligence and lively disposition who would assuredly have gone far in the service of the community.

Pilot-Officer D. L. Watson was killed in an aircraft accident on 23rd March, 1944. He did first year law in 1942 after a distinguished record at Melbourne Grammar, but then joined the R.A.A.F. without completing the course that he had begun so promisingly.

OBITUARY Dr. Edward Alan Mackay died in April last. He came to College from Melbourne Grammar, and after winning the Warden's Scholarship, he graduated M.B. in 1888 and Ch.B. in 1889. For thirty years he was on the honorary medical staff of the Children's Hospital, and he practised in Melbourne until 1928.

Dr. R. E. Shuter died last July. He graduated M.B. in 1891, Ch.B., with honours in 1892, and M.D. in 1902. He gained a "blue" in tennis, was Victorian singles champion in 1889, doubles champion with T. A. a'Beckett in 1891 and represented Victoria from 1888 to 1891.

He was in the A.A.M.C. during the last war, and after commanding an Auxiliary Hospital, he was appointed consulting aural specialist. He returned to Australia in 1917 and practised as an eye and ear specialist. Some years ago he retired to Black Rock, where he suffered in the disastrous fire early this year.

The College also suffered a loss by the sudden death of Dr. Benjamin Newport

29

White. When he first entered Trinity he began to study theology, but the last war broke out before he had completed his course. He joined the A.I.F. and rose to the rank of major. On his return he took up medicine and graduated in 1926. He served in the Middle East three years ago as a medical officer. In Melbourne he was honorary anaesthetist at the Alfred, Austin and Eye and Ear hospitals.

BISHOP ARTHUR VINCENT GREEN The College suffered a very severe loss by the death in September of Bishop Arthur Vincent Green, the first Trinity man to be raised to the Episcopate. Born in Surrey, England, in 1857, as a boy he went with his family to New Zealand, South Australia and South Africa; finally they settled in Victoria, and when Trinity began its work of theological training in 1878, the first name on the roll was A. V. Green. Before ordination he had another year in Europe, but in 1880 he began his work in the church as a curate at St. Peter's, Eastern Hill.

Thereafter he was incumbent at Maldon, and while there he graduated M.A. in the University of Sydney in 1883, LL.B. in 1885, LL.D. in 1887, winning the Wigram Allen Scholarship in Law, and he received an "ad eundem" LL.D. in Melbourne in the same year.

From Maldon he moved to Hawksburn, thence to Geelong, and later became Archdeacon of Ballarat. In 1894, at the age of only 37, he was elected Bishop of Grafton and Armidale. Here he was faced by many difficulties and tribulations. Nearly half the endowment of the see had been lost; there was no Bishop's house; discipline was bad; travelling in this enormous diocese was very extensive and very difficult. But six years of arduous journeying and steady constructive action saw many good results — diocesan machinery reformed, a registry provided, new churches and a Bishop's house built, a theological college set to work, as well as much extra diocesan work accomplished. In 1900 the Bishop was translated to Ballarat, where again

30

THE

FLEUR -DE-LYS

he did a great work. Though invited to Brisbane in 1903 he remained in Victoria, to the great gain of the province. He established St. Aidan's Theological College in Ballarat and was responsible for building the cathedral basement and chapter house.

In 1916 he retired from his Bishopric; but this did not mean he retired from the life of the church. For seven years he was a canon of the Melbourne Cathedral; for twenty-five years he continued to teach and to preach; from 1920 to 1943 he was a theological lecturer at Trinity; for the benefit of his students he presented in 1936 a large part of his library to the College.

Three years ago, on his 84th birthday, he preached at the College Service for the Commemoration of Benefactors.

Perhaps no one—certainly few—has been a greater benefactor. Not only in material things, but also in spiritual things. Many generations of Trinity

men will remember him as a teacher and a friend, for his influence on young men has been an outstanding service to the College, the Church and the Community.

In May this year there was held at Ivanhoe a service to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his consecration as a Bishop. There the Warden stressed the Bishop's unflagging loyalty to Trinity, his unfailing courtesy, and his perennial spirit of youthfulness, which endeared him to all. "We are assembled," said Dr. Behan, "to do honour to a very great man of God. To him, with pride and exhaltation we may aptly apply the words of the great Apostle: `He has fought a good fight; he has lasted the course; he has kept the faith.' " We can truly give thanks that God gave to us the ministry of so brilliant a mind and so useful a voice, though we must add a note of sadness as we mourn the loss of a noble scholar and Christian.

JANET CLARKE HALL

OFFICE-BEARERS, 1944 Senior Student: Mavis Taylor.

Secretary: Mary Long.

Treasurer: Jean Proud.

NOTES This year there have been more students in residence than ever before— we even have two installed in the Manifold Wing, and some masterly juggling has gone on between sick-room, guestroom and rooms temporarily vacated by medicals. The twenty-five Freshers seem a particularly domesticated collection, for they all applied for the Cooking and Housewifery Exemption Tests, and, for the first time in History, all passed.

As Miss Leviny said: "All dinners were edible, and some were appetizing."

The Freshers' Play, "She Painted Her Face, or Target for To-night," ushered in that spirit of joie de vivre and bonhomie which has always characterised College life. The epic poem written and recited by Miss Lilian White was perhaps the high-light of the performance, but all the cast contributed towards a very pleasant and entertaining evening.

However, this interest in fun and games has not meant the neglect of good works. The usual interest has been shown in the children of the Parkville Home, and Beverley Hayward and Margaret Bruce have undertaken the management of the Guides there, and Pat. Atkins and Heather Cochran the Brownies. Besides this, we are of course still knitting for the Women of the University Patriotic Fund. Diana Ottaway is to be congratulated on the very good job she has done in distributing wool, encouraging reluctant knitters, and collecting the finished garments.

There has been a great increase in the number of enthusiastic cyclists amongst members of the College during the last two years — if the present rate of increase is maintained we will soon need

to install traffic lights along the SheepWalk. A bicycle shed has been erected and is very much appreciated by all who use it.

In April the residents entertained the non-residents at a tennis tournament.

Joan Eggleston and Dawn Harper won the prize, and the day as a whole proved such a success that we would like to see it become an annual event.

Throughout the year we have had many visitors. The Acting-Chaplain has frequently come to dinner, and we were very sorry to part with him at the end of Second Term. At his farewell visit Mavis Taylor, on behalf of Janet Clarke Hall, presented him with a picture of the Chapel spire, painted by Mrs. Hyett. We have since been very glad to welcome the new Chaplain.

Lady Dugan, accompanied by Mrs. Wolfe Murray, came up to present the Domestic Science Certificates.

Among many other guests were included the Bishops of St. Arnaud, Ballarat, Wangaratta and Gippsland, the Acting-Master of Ormond and Mrs. McPhee, the Consul for China and Mrs. Wang, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Elliott, Dr. and Mrs. Patton, Miss Valentine Leeper, Professor and Mrs. Sunderland, Dr. Heymann, and Lieut.-Col. Wilcher. Mr. and Mrs. Elliot and Dr. and Mrs. Patton had a great deal to tell us about their trips to Russia, and Miss Leeper was particularly informative on the problem of Poland. She has since been kind enough to send us a pamphlet which she has written on the subject.

We have also been very pleased to see several past students back in Hall, and hope that many more will keep up their contact with the College in this way.

We would like to congratulate Elaine Brumley on winning the Grace Maudsley Prize for 1943, and the Higgins Scholarship for Green and Latin Poetry for 1944.

Lately the improvement in the War situation has given the College optimists a new lease of life. May their hopes be justified, and next year see the prospect of an early peace — one of its minor blessings will be the removal of wartime restrictions on University and College activities.

VERDON LIBRARY President: Miss Joske.

Librarian: L. Gibson.

Committee: Mrs. Coppes, Miss Jennings, Miss Borthwick, Miss Wykes.

This year the Library Committee has been in the curious and rather difficult situation of having money to spend but very little to spend it on. The drought has extended even to the book-shops, and when occasional relief does come in the form of shipments from overseas, it is agility rather than purchasing power which counts.

But in spite of these abnormal conditions we have managed to add over forty books to the Library. Among these are three volumes of Churchill's speeches, presented by Mrs. Trewin (Winifred Paten) in memory of Ethel Bage. Others have been mainly of literary and general interest, for scientific and medical books are even more scarce, it this is possible.

At the beginning of the year there were some books in need of repair and rebinding. As both bookbinders and materials are almost a thing of the past, Mr. Gibson offered to do these for us.

The Committee wishes to thank him very much.

It is to be hoped that next year the Committee will have to cope with a deluge rather than a drought. Then its problem will be not when to descend on the book-shops, but where to house the harvest.

JANET CLARKE HALL DRAMATIC CLUB, 1944 President: Miss Joske.

Secretary: P. Boyd.

Committee: S. Duigan, D. Pearce.

This year has proved a very successful one for the Club; we have held eight combined play-readings with Trinity, and the attendance at all of them has been excellent.

At the end of second term thirty members of the Club went to see the Queen's College performance of "Hamlet" at the Union Theatre.

The Committee wishes to thank Miss Joske for all the help she given them in arranging the evenings, and for allowing them to hold these in her sittingroom.

Owing to the difficulty in obtaining copies of plays, we have been restricted to reading those of the better known playwrights, but we hope that these were enjoyed by all who came.

The following plays were read: Pygmalion (Shaw), Escape (Galsworthy), Dear Brutus (Barrie), She Stoops to Conquer (Goldsmith), Libel (Wool), Mr. Pim Passes By (Milne), Laburnum Grove (Priestley) , Outward Bound (Vane) .

JANET CLARKE HALL DEBATING CLUB Secretary: S. L. Duigan.

Committee: P. Boyd.

Despite an initial tendency towards voluntary liquidation, the Debating Club has had a very successful year. We revived the custom of having a debate against Trinity, and the results were excellent. The subject was, "Is individualism out of date?" and the Janet Clarke Hall team took the affirmative.

Mrs. Corben, who kindly consented to adjudicate, confirmed our view.

In preparation for the Trinity debate we had an evening of impromptu speeches. After a great deal of difficulty, owing to the universally high standard, the prize was awarded to Miss Mackney for her oration on "Cleaning a Room."

We hope that the current year's enthusiasm will continue, and that next year the Debating Club will be equally successful.

JANET CLARKE HALL SPORTS CLUB President: Miss Joske.

Hon. Sec. and Treas.: D. Shilliday.

Committee: P. Carter, H. Purnell, S. Duigan.

As in the past two years sport between the various Women's Colleges seems to have died an untimely death, J.C.H. is now attempting to revive the corpse by calling a meeting of representatives from all Colleges to discuss possibilities for 1945. It seems probable that intercollegiate Tennis at least will begin again next year, and there are hopes that swimming, too, and perhaps hockey will also be added to the list.

This year within the College there has been a slight increase in the interest in sport, but everyone on the whole seems "far too busy." However, in the middle of the year a very successful tournament was held with the non-residents, the winners of this being Joan Eggleston and Dawn Harper. Swot Vac. doubles were also played.

J.C.H. announces with great pride that the Hockey match with Trinity resulted in a draw, and that we succeeded in hitting all our own goals, despite the roving and ruffiianly tactics of the gentlemen.

Squash has probably been the most popular form of exercise, and we should like here to thank Trinity for the use of their court.

Next year we hope, then, to see greater activity on the part of all the women, and a brighter future for sport.

TRINITY WOMEN'S SOCIETY The Society has held two meetings this year. The first was the Open Day, which was held on March 18th, when the Hall was open to members and their friends.

Among the official guests were Mrs. Medley, Mrs. Behan, Mrs. McPhee, and representatives of the Past Student Societies of the other Colleges. The Society was fortunate in having a fine day; the garden was much admired. A tennis tournament was held and the children's party was again a popular feature of the afternoon's entertainment.

Profits and donations amounted to £6/18/2, and this amount was paid to the Women of the University Patriotic Fund.

The Annual General Meeting was held on October 14th. The new committee for 1944-1945 was duly elected and is as follows: President, Mrs. Guy Bakewell; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Heaton Clark (ex officio) and Mrs. Whitney King; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Mary Cameron; Members of Committee, Miss Joske (ex officio) , Mrs. Paul Radford, Mrs. Donald Nairn, Mrs. R. Lloyd, Miss M. Morris, Miss B. Wilmot and Miss O. Wykes.

Miss Leeper furnished the Society with an interesting report of the work of the National Council of Women. Miss Leeper and Mrs. a'Beckett were again elected as our representatives on that Council for 1944-1945.

The Annual Meeting was followed by a dinner, the first held by the Society since 1941. Members apparently appreciated its re-institution as there was a record attendance of 72 members. Mrs. J. J. Booth, Miss Jocelyn Henderson, and the Senior Student, Miss Mavis Taylor, were the guests of honour. Dr. Margaret Henderson, in proposing the toast of Our Guests, spoke with regret of the absence through illness of Mrs. Behan, who had been present at so many of our previous re-unions. The toast of the College was proposed by Mrs. Heaton Clark, and Miss Joske and Miss Mavis Taylor responded. Miss H. B. Yencken proposed the toast of Absent Friends.

Miss Jocelyn Henderson, who has been doing work in connection with reafforestation, gave an interesting address on that subject. For the last two years our guest speakers have been past students, since it was felt that the College has produced sufficient distinguished women to provide us with an interesing speaker each year.

The capital of the Jubilee Scholarship now totals nearly £700, and it is hoped that it will not be long before we have the £1,000 at which we originally aimed.

The Scholarship was this year awarded to Miss Heather Cochran, a First Year Arts Student.—M.C.
