We must aim, not at the production of the
universal expert, or the universal smatterer, but
at the production of the liberal, Christian mind
which sees all science in relation to the mastersciences of philosophy and theology, which sees
all knowledge in the light of revealed truth.

VOL. XX VII.
AOVEMBER, 1945
twat lux Votra
August 15th, 1945 marked the end of the Second Great War. To
comment on the significance of this event would now be uncalled for, since
all of us can understand its meaning, and have, long before this, taken
part in sincere rejoicings and offered our thanks to God for His mercy in
bringing about the end of the conflict.
What concerns us now is the aftermath of war. How are we to
undertake the various aspects of reconstruction and rehabilitation? How
do we intend to prevent war in the future? How can we prevent the abuse
of atomic power? All these questions come naturally to us, if we sit to
consider this subject, or, if we choose not to think, then the newspapers will
discuss these problems for us.
But we, as University students, should not be guided in these ;natters
by the newspapers, nor by reckless politicians. We should set up
standards of behaviour and morality to govern these problems. The
University, as the seat of learning of the nation, should be the guiding,
light in the solving of these difficulties. That it is the seat of learning is
unquestionable, for it possesses the necessary cultural background, the
tradition of noble thought and teaching, and the assembly of the ablest
thinkers and men of research in the community. Such being the case, it
behoves all its staff, all its graduates and undergraduates to set the standards of moral principles amongst our people.
10
NEWMAN
Such a duty was never so urgently called for as it is in the world to-day.
All around us we see the results of the neglect of Christianity. In Germany,
►we saw the mass-killing of thousands of innocent victims of a new
brutality. Here men and women were put to death, either because they
belonged to a race that was not Germanic, or because they dared to resist
this new spirit of paganism. However, not only in Germany was the word
of God neglected, but in countries over the whole world. Russia, having
thrown aside the spirit of Christianity, deported and murdered innocent
Poles, whose sole crime was that they fought to restore their nation.
Stalin's underling in Jugo-Slavia, Tito, the self-styled Marshal, pillaged and
murdered and deprived the people of their human rights. In Japan, the
pagan creed of Shintoism placed no obstacle in the way of the execution of
many brave Allied men. Even England and America are not free from the
stain of guilt, for it seems that they indulged in the indiscriminate bombing
of towns and cities.
Indeed it is with deep sorrow in our hearts, that we admit the low
plane to which civilisation has descended. As soon as we realise the true
level of our morality, we must, if we ever hope to retrieve our former state,
resolve to undertake the restoration of the world to a true spirit of love
and friendship amongst peoples and nations.
But how is this to be accomplished? The answer to those who are
Catholics is obvious, but even to those outside the Fold, the way should be
clear. In brief, we must all embrace Christianity, for there is no other
course. In this creed alone do we find expressed the true spirit of brotherly
love and charity. Here a definite set of moral values is laid down, and
these will serve to govern every aspect of our existence. Were we all to
live within the bounds of this moral code our problems would disappear.
This should be the position of the University. The University should
be essentially Christian. In order to achieve this, the value of a truly
Christian life should be more forcibly impressed on the students. Although
all of us are taught the various aspects of our professions, the deeper, more
essential part of some of us is not touched. Those who choose to cast aside
the word of God, and instead to embrace paganism or atheism are not
guided back to the realms of Truth, but are allowed to struggle hopelessly
in the sea of falsehood. When these misguided students leave the University
they will not have those qualities and characteristics which the community
so urgently needs. These students will be unable to set up any standards
of morality, so that the University will have failed to fulfil its duty to the
people of the outside world.
But you will say a University is at least the seat of liberal education,
and as such should tolerate the various beliefs and disbelief s of its members.
To this we answer that the University's duty to the nation comes before
its privilege to be the seat of liberalism, and on this account it should
encourage the practice of Christianity among its students, and should
attempt to win back the non-Christians, so that they will come to embrace
the teachings of God.
Therefore the duty of the University is clear. In order to appreciate
more fully the necessity for the execution of this duty, it would be of value
to reflect on the effects of excessive toleration, should such an attitude be
adopted by the University. The results of this would be diverse and many.

Undergraduates, having been permitted to disseminate their malodorous
doctrines of paganism, atheism and the like, would not hesitate to spread
them in the world outside. The people of more humble intellect, hearing
such things from these leaders in the community, would be very prone to
accept them. Where then would this influence cease? Since man is a mere
animal with no life in another world, why should we hesitate to kill him,
just as we kill other animals for food? Why should one respect the chastity
of women, the sacredness of the marriage-bed, or the unborn child? Indeed
it is difficult to see what virtues would be left in the world. E'Very nation
would be in a state of complete chaos, more terrible wars would ensue, until
finally our whole civilisation disintegrated. No, if we do not embrace
Christianity, we are forever groping in darkness, instead of treading a
sure path within the narrow confines of a Christian life.
It therefore behoves the University, since it is its duty to set the
intellectual and moral standards of the community, to insist upon a true
spirit of Christianity, for we are the leaders, and must be blamed for the
sins of our followers.

The stars at last grew paler in the East,
And each, now seen, now hidden from the sight,
Withdrew before the soft pervading light
Of Dawn, whose shafts the distant hills released
To tinge the sullen waves. The breeze increased
And swelled the sails. The lurking shades of night
Were banished in the West, and with their flight
The vigil of the rugged traveller ceased.
He saw his land of exile, but his mind,
Inspired, saw further—saw the precious seed
That he should plant, defying drought and dearth,
Take root and flourish there. He saw the wind
Of persecution scourge his crop, but spread
The fruits of harvest over all the earth.

go-day the Struyyle
"The young ask for an opportunity to prove themselves in a heroic
life which has a purpose and an end, an end, too, to which they can
contribute" ..
—M. C. D'Arey, S.J.
Leon Bloy once wrote : "Suffering
passes but the fact of having suffered
never passes." There is no commentary
to be made on that except that it is true.
It is hard to say that there is much
suffering in youth save for the awkwardness and clumsiness of adolescence —
the pretentiousness half-remembered later
with mild shame. But if suffering is
a condition of life and living, so is
youth — youth passes but the fact of
having been young never passes.
So it is not remarkable that young
people should ask questions about the
conditions of life. What is of interest,
are the questions—the kind of questions
they ask in a particular age; it is to
be expected that they ask : "What does
the Future hold .. . where are we going
. . . what are we going to do?" But
what is of interest now, is that the
young in our time are not much concerned with that ideal of adventure or
rather of irresponisibility which accompanies an excessive and irrational trust
in the Future. Perhaps it is because they
have experienced two lifetimes. That at
least is unusual. There were the times
before the war when they were fourteen
or fifteen — the "good times" (the Test
matches and the record breakers — the
songs : "Blue Skies Around the Corner"
— the improbable romances on the films)
when the only moral seriousness was a
certain sarcasm or satire — Evelyn
Waugh, Aldous Huxley, Isherwood.
And then there was the war, and now
the times in which we live — the second
lifetime. The young have already, as it
were, lived their Future so that the
questions they ask now are not about
the Future ("What will they be when
they grow up?") but—"Where are we;
what have we — to what Existence do
we hold?"
Some still hope for miracles — a new
way of living, new ideas, a change of
heart, new styles of architecture; but
can you believe the slogans anymore
. . . every day in every way . . . the
songs "Somewhere You'll Find a Blue
Bird of Happiness?" In fact, and this
is the point of departure, the propaganda
about the Future doesn't hold much
value for the young now.
Suffering, and they have suffered, may
cause you to invent another world — a
means of escape, a world with an air of
frenzy and madness about it ; or it may
bring realization of the deepest meaning of Existence, may bring up the
question "Well, what am I?" . . .
Such a distrust, or more, an unconcern
with the illusions and traps of the
Future ("the lure of the Future" Berdyaev characterizes it) dispenses with
those scepticisms and agnosticisms which
formerly seemed to be the peculiar property of the young.
The age of Vaihinger and the philosophy of "As if" is over ; what we now
demand is a "This is so" coupled with a
concrete and creative faith in existence. ..
"You are free
Not to be,
Why exist . . . ?
No, I don't know why
But I'm glad I'm here."
Those dispossessed of the grace of religion have accepted Marxism and Fos-
NEWMAN
cism, which assert, however crudely, a
positive and dogmatic discipline, as the
only dogmatism they know. We may
note that this is a point on which
Marxism and Fascism agree. Lenin
himself despised what he called
"Humean agnosticism" and one may remember G. Gentiles' trenchant attacks
against "the agnosticism of the schools."
Marxism is of course ' established
amongst us now and if Mr. Christopher
Dawson was right in pointing out that
Democracy and Fascism are by no
means exclusive doctrines, then Fascism
may still have meaning as a faith for
the young. "Nothing is more logical,"
writes M. Gilson concerning this dogmatic attitude of both Fascism and
Marxism, "Nothing is more logical than
such an attitude. In a society where the
freedom of the individual is reduced to
their coincidence with the State, intellectual freedom has to reduce itself to
a coincidence of each particular intellect
with that of the State."
The other centre which implies a
dogmatic faith is Christianity. We may
use the term Christianity while lamenting the necessity for such a use, to describe the general attitude of such
divergent minds as Nicolas Berdyaev,
T. S. Eliot, Karl Barth, W. H. Auden,
Jacques Maritain, who give allegiance
to the central act of Christianity—belief
in Christ ; for they hold that all Existence
only has meaning in the light of the Redemption—at the foot of the Cross.
M. Maritain who achieved that belief
only through an intense personal struggle
has expressed in unforgettable language
what that confession of faith means.
"Truly philosophers play a strange
game," he writes. "They know very well
that one thing alone counts and that all
that medley of subtle discussions relates
to one single question—wny are we born
on this earth? And they also know that
they will never be able to answer it.
Nevertheless, they continue sedately to
amuse themselves. Do they not see
that many people come to them from
all parts of the compass not with a de-
13
sire to partake of their subtlety but because they hope to receive from them
one word of life? If they have such
words why do they not cry them from
the housetops asking their disciples to
give if necessary their very blood for
them? If they have no such words why
do they allow people to believe that they
will receive from them something they
cannot give? For mercy's sake, if ever
God has spoken, if in some place in
the world, were it at the gibbet of the
Crucified He has sealed His Truth, tell
us . . . or are you indeed, masters in
Israel only to be ignorant of these
things?"
The young then find themselves
divided into rival dogmatisms. At
least this state of conflict is better than
that state of polite truce we endured formerly when the only charges against
one's opponents concerned "good breeding" or "dignity" or "being a getleman" ;
when the young could launch their
"que sais-je' airily with a puff of cigarette smoke. At least it is better because
the issues now are clear. We can agree
with W. H. Auden when he writes :
"Tomorrow for the young the poets exploding like bombs,
The walks by the lake, the weeks of
perfect communion;
Tomorrow the bicycle races, through the
suburbs on summer evenings.
But today the struggle."
We can, from the point of view of
Catholics, discern three planes about
which this struggle, this conflict, takes
place.
There is the plane where the young
generally are concerned with the working-out of the question of Existence —
the question of Salvation, which position
implies the acceptance of a dogmatism
— a faith.
The second plane, specifically Christian, is the ground upon which those
who hold to Christianity are concerned
with the relation of their faith to the
general problem of Existence.
14
l\LEWMAN
The third plane comprehends the
other two planes in that those who take
their stand there insist on the necessity
of the Church and are concerned with
the relation of the Church, in the first
place to the problem of Existence and
next to those who while professing faith
in Christ stand outside the Church.
With these three divisions confronting
him the salvation of the modern world
is a tragic business for the Catholic.
Action on each plane demands a radically
different technique which, if confused,
can only bring disruptive consequences.
For example, consider this statement
of M. Jacques Maritain : "Religious
division is in itself a misfortune. But
it is a fact that we must willy-nilly recognize. . .. Let each school assert its
beliefs with fulness and integrity ! But
let no one try to impose it by force
upon the others ! The reciprocal tension
which ensues will launch rather than
harm the common task" ... these words
have the most vital significance with regard to that first plane of activity in so
far that it is only by recognizing such a
fact as religious division that we can attempt to build a common social structure. But we may ask if those words
have any meaning with regard to the relation between the second and third
planes — the relation between the
"Christian" and the Catholic. What is
the difference between say Mr. C. S.
Lewis, who is outside the Church, and
our Christopher Dawson, who is within
it? Is it only a difference such as to
provide the elements of a fruitful
"tension" or is it "all the difference?"
It is obvious that as Catholics we must
insist upon the latter.
It is likewise, on the other hand, a
mischievous error to attempt to simplify
the real complexity of these issues with
G. K. Chesterton's flippant division between those who have the Faith and
"those who have not the Faith and will
not have the fun !"
The most pressing need on the third
plane is a clear and urgent insistence
on the meaning of the Church together
with a realization that mere defensive
apologetics cannot achieve anything. The
Catholic—most especially the young
Catholic — is subject to a most painful
tension. That tension, which involves a
most lively concern for those outside the
scheme of Christianity as well as for
those who hold to belief in Christ but
are outside the Church, can be maintained only with the means of Charity.
An attempt to diagnose the way
people think and the things they think
about is bound to be dangerous. The
author tends to draw sham perspectives.
Such an attempt, however, may hint at
some intelligible plan in the confusion
which confronts the young at this time
and even a mere sketch has some meaning and some value when the Catholic
feels the enormity of his task, the unfairness almost of his position in the
modern world, and yet the over-riding
love of friends implicated in its tragedy.
"No man," wrote John Donne, "is an
island, intire of it selfe ; every man is
a peece of the Continent, a part of the
maine; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde ; and
therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls ; it tolls for thee."

Conversation in a Gallery
A Study in the Relation Between
Catholicism and Modern Art.
Julian: Why, Paul, this is a happy
chance. I was hoping to meet someone
here who could explain some of these
modern concepts to me.
Paul: Well, I'd be glad to try. It's
good of you not to refer to it as "this
modern stuff."
Julian: That, I must admit, was my
first inclination. I am not a very tolerant
person normally as you may know. But
you "initiated" people seem so touchy
about your creations that one has to be
careful.
Paul: Oh, you needn't worry as far
as I'm concerned. We get used to the
stereotyped criticism of people who are
too biassed or too lazy to appreciate
what we're trying to express.
Julian: Incidentally, what are you trying to express. This show here seems to
me just a glorification of the ugly and
an emphasis of the distorted, and you
will have to convince rrit-, that the same
does not apply to modern forms of expression in music, poetry, sculpture,
and even architecture. But, tell me,
what is it that your modern school is trying to express?
Paul: Well, we are trying to break
away from the conventional and express
ideas of our own. They may not always
be what you call beautiful ideas—beauty
has had its portrayers for long enough.
But Life is not all Beauty, and we aim
to present Life as many of us see it —
not as you see it — or pretend to see it,
a la Watteau. Call my poetry disjointed
and meaningless, if you like ; call
Bergman's pictures ill-proportioned and
sordid ; call Hindemith's music discordant and joyless ; call all our work dis-
something. I suppose that is only to be
expected if you reject your accepted
standards of expression. But don't call
us dishonest. Your standards need not
necessarily be the only correct ones.
Beethoven upset the ideals of the
Eighteenth Century drawing-room melodists ; Engels and Marx broke away from
economic tradition to enunciate new
theories ; no one championed the factory
worker before Dickens. All the great religious reformers — Luther, Calvin, Mahommed—even your own Christ — set
tradition at defiance and I daresay you
will admit that the causes they preached
were none the less true merely because
they were untraditional.
So you may despise our individual
work, if it pleases you, but don't despise
the spirit behind it. Something significant will come of all this pioneering.
Julian: I don't deny that something
significant may come of it, Paul. Nor
do I call you dishonest personally,
though I'm afraid some of your friends
may be. But perhaps I shall do them
less injustice if I classify them according as I see their aims and methods, so
that any criticisms I offer may not be
considered too sweeping, but as directed
specifically against this type of work or
against that.
Obviously one can't lump Modern Art
into one corner and consider it en masse.
I am not competent to pass any judgment on modern music or sculpture, but
as for your painters and artists and
writers, I would divide them into three
classes.
Firstly, there are those who are out
and out imposters — shailow, mediocre
people who crave prominence but haven't
16
NEWMAN
the talent to attain it without resorting
to the bizarre ; people like those who
were so neatly exposed by the "Angry
Penguins" incident last year.
Secondly, there are those who make a
cult of the obscene and who seem to regard morality as tiresome and old
fashioned. There have always been such
people, of course, but the latest types
seem to differ from their predecessors in
that they have become too languid and
bored to make vice a vivid thing, and
their obscenities are often almost unintelligible. Whether these people are
sincere or not I cannot say. I doubt it.
Some of them may be.
And then there are the rest of you,
whom I class collectively — though no
doubt there are many more subdivisions
one could make — as the rebels against
authority and against form. Most of
you are, I think, sincere and many of
you are, I believe, talented. But I think
you are building on shifting sands.
Novelty is a good thing and it ' is as
well that people have had and still have
the courage to strike out along new paths
of expression, and one must admit that
an abject worship of tradition is a
shackling thing.
But all the great pioneers of the past
have been bound ultimately in the same
direction. They have all tried to express
in their own way Truth, which they
have admitted lay outside themselves,
and they have acknowledged the necessity of observing some rules regarding
form.
You acknowledge no rules, and do not
regard Truth as necessary or desirable
in your expression. Your own reaction
and the expression of it, is far more important. So, I don't deny that something
significant may come of it all, but, speaking as a Christian, and, more specifically,
as a Catholic, I hope that it doesn't do
so, for I fear the ultimate product of such
tendencies as your type of work reveals.
Paul: Why? And what has Catholicism to do with it?
Julian: Just this : so far, the efforts of
your colleagues have been more or less
isolated and sporadic. The spirit of
modern paganism — for you are modern
pagans, whether you admit it or not —
has not crystallised into a definite religion or regular body of doctrine, but
when it does, you'll find an inevitable
clash between it and Catholicism. I
don't know precisely what form this
new religion will take, but I do know
this, that it will be founded on a revolt
from authority and dogmatism, from the
Catholic tradition and the Catholic culture, which is the basis of Christendom,
and from the whole conception of
Catholic ethics and morals.
It is only on morals as yet that any
clash has arisen, for you admit no
doctrines nor creed of your own, as far
as I'm aware. But when the underlying
doctines do emerge in clear form, they
too will be fundamentally opposed to
ours.
However, leaving out the question of
doctrine, I anticipate that even your
present efforts, individual as they are,
and part of no general formed pattern,
will provoke the criticism of Catholic
thinkers.
Paul: It is interesting to hear you say
that, as I've noticed that our ideas seem
to appeal to very few Catholics. I've put
it down to the fact that their intellects
have been too stuffed, and dulled, with
the Church's dogmas to be fresh or receptive to new ideas. I didn't think there
was active hostility. But why should
your Church disapprove of our art, provided we don't contravene her moral
code?
Julian: Because all your work is
grounded in despair. Because you assume that the mood or whim of the
artist is more important than the dignity of man or the sanctity of woman.
Because you lack the humility to realise
that form and authority are signposts
to guide man along the way of Truth,
not chains - to fetter him. Because you
..:.. .

scorn Truth — worse still you doubt if
it can be found or is worth the search.
Depict men with long necks and distorted features, if you must, but don't
forget that we believe men were born
in the likeness of their Creator and heirs
to the Kingdom of Heaven ; depict
misery and deformity and disease, if you
must, but remember that we regard
them as great evils only in so far as
they fail to make man worthier of his
destiny. Disregard proportion if you
must, but remember that we regard it
as the anchor of sanity and the indispensible companion of Truth, and that
Truth in our eyes is sacred.
You mentioned Beethoven and Locke
and Dickens as rebels and innovators.
That is quite true. They were, but they
forged their new forms of art and
thought within the framework of a
Christian culture still essentially
Catholic. Listen to the message of any
one of them and you will find it is not
one of despair but of sublime faith and
hope. It is only the pagan who has no
ultimate faith and hope.
And your type of paganism is different
from the classical paganism of Greece
and Rome. Their songs were tinged
with despair too, but they were the songs
of morning and of youth, and one feels
running through most of their works,
and all the better ones, a noble yearning
for things beyond their ken. If they
• WI
17
lacked Truth, they sought to replace it
with Beauty.
But yours are the songs of old age,
of boredom and of indifference. You lack
Truth and you shrug and try to forget
or ignore its existence. Beauty you
strive consciously to avoid. You throw
all the emphasis on the individual and
his own impressions and conceptions,
but instead of exalting individual man
you strip him of all dignity. He still appears a grotesque bewildered creature,
wandering ineffectually along the pathway of uncertainty, conscious of no destiny, acknowledging no authority save
the call of his instincts, and your chief
boast seems to be that he has thrown
off all the shackles of slavery — his mind
is free !
Don't you realize that his mind is anything but free? It was exalted to seek
and to appreciate Truth, and it can be
liberated from the servitude of doubt
and uncertainty only by Truth, just as
Plato's cave-men could be freed from
darkness only by the light of the sun.
And yet Truth is the thing above all
that you would shut his eyes to.
So you see, Paul, it is this despair,
this degradation of man that will be the
source of conflict between Catholics and
yourselves. And, speaking for myself, I
believe that the more clearly defined your
philosophy becomes, the more clear cut
will be the issue between us.

VERY picture, they say, tells a
story. That may or may not be
a universal truth, but there is a
painting in the Melbourne Gallery
which, whatever its artistic merits,
quite assuredly tells a story. It is Russell
Drysdale's "Moody's Pub."
In the years to come the experts may
say that the fame of the (by then)
eminent Drysdale, dates from this picture.
For it shows that above all else he is
a thinker. It is not the painter who is
artistically correct and traditional and
nothing else, and who mechanically
paints his academic exercises, that makes
his mark, but the one who shows that
he has got out of the common rut, and
has done some hard thinking and acute
observing before putting his brush to
the canvas. Such a man performs a
social function — he is gifted, like Wordsworth's poet, with a more lively sensibility and a greater readiness and power
in expressing what he thinks and feels.
He is the expert interpreter of the world
around him. It is not so much the
minute reproduction of detail that the
artist makes, as the drawing together of
all the threads of some complicated
story. "Moody's Pub" is of this kind.
The historian on antiquity of Australia
might write a long chanter about the
"one-horse" gold rush towns scattered
about Victoria and some of the other
States. He would describe how gold had
brought the swift mushroom settlement :
how the inevitable "pub" was built as
the centre of the settlement. He would
tell how the gold deposits were quickly
worked out ; how the town lost its prosperity and faded away to a mere shell
of settlement ; how somehow a few inhabitants lingered on, their life a dreary
existence in the empty town ; and he
would tell how the " pub," the symbol
of a hope too confident, was the gathering point of the shadows of life that re-
Fi
6,T)
mained among the menfolk ; how the
meeting at the pub was the only spark
of interest amongst the handful from
whom almost all human purpose was
gone. They went there not just to have
a drink but also (because man is a social
animal) to escape from the all too
obvious thought as they looked down
the derelict main street, like Everyman,
"in the midst of life we are in death."
Depressing, purposeless, moribund, the
whole atmosphere of the town is concentrated in that pub.
They will write all that about these
hulks of towns which really do exist, as
you will see, if you travel about Victoria. But the story is told already with
(I suggest) far greater effectiveness,
simply by the canvas of " Moody's
Pub " — the old pub of too solid brick
— the few men lounging about in front
at the end of the day — the early type
petrol bowser, the sign of a long
vanished prosperity.
It is a true painter like Drysdale who
links art to the rest of society — doing
something for that society that few
others can do.
There are considerable elements of
impressionism in Drysdale's art (seen
especially in his drawings on soil erosion
in Victoria). It is instructive to reflect
on the role that impressionism played
in the early period of Australian art.
For a long time art in Australia had
been sterile — no soul in it — no artist to
depict the true beauty of the country.
The bare bones were there in the landscapes of early painters, but they were
all looking at the country with the eyes
of foreigners — "their vision had been already cast in a home country mould" as
Sir Lionel Lindsay says. They could not
capture the light and atmosphere — and
these "are the keys to the interpretation
of the landscape of any land."

NEWMAN
The problem was not just one for the
little world of artists. It affected the
whole community. A national school of
art, an interpretation of Australia through
Australian eyes was urgently needed
in the eighties and nineties of the last
century, when the spirit of nationalism
was otherwise developing strongly and
the "Bulletin" was speaking with the
tongue of the common Australian man.
It must depict the characteristic beauty
of the Australian scene and features of
Australian life as surely as did Tom
Collins and Banjo Paterson in literature.
It was at this period that impressionism supplied the means. Tom Roberts
was the harbinger in Australia of this
Continental school. A remarkable coincidence lay in the fact that •it should
have been this type of art that had taken
Paris by storm at this particular time,
and was thus brought out to Australia
by him. For, of all the techniques of
painting, perhaps none was better suited
to do the job Australia so badly needed.
Impressionism set out to look at nature
and to see the general effect, to capture
the broad characteristics and "impression" of the scene at once and crystallise
them on canvas — the incidence of light
on the "frozen instant of action" as in
Degas' famous "Study of a Ballet
Dancer." Such a technique was ideally
adapted to encourage the delineation of
the peculiar qualities of national life and
landscape. The result, under Roberts'
guidance, at the end of the 'eighties, was
the rise of Streeton, the first distinctively
Australian temperament to look at the
19
country
country and portray its beauty with a
meaning clear to all. It was Streeton,
for example, that first captured the blue
of our skies and the clear transparency of
Australian distances, notably in his
"Purple Noon's Transparent Might."
Roberts, too, stepped in the right direction away from the studio art and gave
us a splendid series about national life,
beginning with his "Shearing the Rams"
and then "A Mountain Muster," "Bailed
Up," and "The Breakaway" (his best;
his impressionist eyes have caught perfectly the whole atmosphere of this typical sheep station incident).
There were many more works of these
and other artists that caught the Australian scene and way of life in paint,
and helped to differentiate it from that
of any other land, and to foster the
growth of national consciousness. What
we have been chiefly concerned with, is
to paint the moral of this aspect of Australian history—how the men of art can,
and must relate themselves to the community at large.
These wandering thoughts took root
after considering the meaning of one of
Russel Drysdale's works. Yet the two
matters are connected as aspects of the
same question—the relation of the artist
to society. The modified impressionism
of Drysdale is an instrument with a real
social function, fitted to interpret and
explain to the whole people its life and
institutions and problems, just as truly
as the lawyer interprets for us the Constitution.

ROBERT HERRICK _
What accounts for the fact that
Herrick, while being recognised by
leading critics to be one of the greatest
lyric poets of English literature, yet has
so few enthusiastic readers?
The answer is probably that he is
nearly always approached through
anthologies, and that the commonly
received opinion of him as a rather
superficial writer of verses about
flowers and mistresses prejudices the
reader against an understanding examination of his work.
There are few poets who suffer more
through the niggardly selections made
by anthologies than Robert Herrick,
as the simplicity and humanity of his
verses, if encountered in too small doses,
can easily deceive the undiscerning
reader with an illusion of rather trite
sentimentality, so unassuming and yet
so subtle is his touch. But for the reader
who perhaps by chance comes across
the complete volume of the Hesperides
and the Noble Numbers there is such a
pleasure in store as will banish prejudice, and make him permanently cherish
such an unexpected treasure.
Wherein lies the enchantment of this
verse? Certainly, in part, in its simplicity and sincerity, which are its most
striking qualities. And then there are
the exquisite sense of rhyme and softness of language. His muse seems
slight, as he himself admitted—
A little stream best fits a little boat,
A little lead best fits a little float;
As my small pipe best fits my little note.
This modesty, however, should not
deceive us. There runs through his
work, half hidden, the most profound of
themes—the great eternal subjects of
love and death. It is, I think, the easy,
natural way, devoid of complicated
philosophical and psychological disquisitions, in which these two contrasting but harmonious motifs are interwoven that constitutes the essence of
Herrick's charm. No English poet but
Shakespeare has more poignantly made
vivid the passing of time and the decay
of beautiful things than he in the fam-
Great Lyric Poet
ous two stanzas, To Daffodils, and the
poem which begins—
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The same elegance and feeling which
cannot but touch a responsive chord in
the heart of a "gentle" or cultured
reader pervade scores of these short
poems, which could be picked at
random, such as this Epitaph Upon a
Virgin, in which the gulf between words
and images seems almost to disappear—
Here a solemn feast we keep,
While all beauty lies asleep,
Hushed be all things, no noise here
But the toning of a tear;
Or a sigh of such as bring
Cowslips for her covering.
This Royalist poet and clergyman
deprived of his See in 1647, who never
wavered in his opposition to the
Puritans, led a life which, in its simplicity and lack of intrigue, places his
character in contrast with the doubtful
passions and censorious hypocrisy of
some of his famous contemporaries. His
ideal was fortitude mixed with charity,
and the poet His Cavalier could stand as
a picture of the Cavalier heroes, like
Montrose, in whom the spirit of England's ancient chivalry survived—
Give me that man who dares bestride
The active sea-horse and with pride,
Through the huge field of waters ride;
Who with his looks, too, can appease
The ruffling winds and raging seas,
In midst of all their outrage;
This, this a virtuous man can do,
Sail against rocks, and split them, too;
Ay, and a world of pikes pass through.
It is obvious that Herrick gave political idea a secondary place in his
scale of values, but there is a tone of
urbanity and a certain humanism in his
poetry which links him with the traditional Christian European idea against
which the Puritans and the Whigs, in
later times, fought. An interesting little
21
NEWMAN
chain in his history is his genealogical
connection with that combatant, sombre
but fundamentally human Tory
Jonathan Swift, whose mother, Abigail
Erick, was a direct descendant of
Robert Herrick's family.
Because of the one-sided approach
commonly adopted towards the Herrick works, his deeply religious nature
is usually overlooked. He was no
theologian nor philosopher in the
ordinary sense, but we feel that he
rather condemned all pretentious learning, believing that a good sentiment
arising from the human heart is worth
all philosophical knowledge. His religion consisted mainly of a love for
the person of Christ, so beautifully
exemplified in his poem To His Saviour's Sepulchre.
But his religious faith does not
tear him from his love for the beauty
THE
of earth, and he is somewhat awed and
afraid before the mystery of eternity
and death. His latter years were more
devoted to religious meditations, if we
may judge from his later poems, but
the true youthful Herrick is undoubtedly still there, the humble man, consumed by love, who glimpses the
absolute in a flower of the Devonshire
fields.
The single volume which contained
all the poems that he wished to leave
for posterity was published in 1647, and
it was not reprinted for nearly 200
years, but he knew he had achieved
immortality. Herrick lives in this book.
All the man's nature is here, the animal
and spiritual, his servant, his dog Julia,
his little home in Devon, his loyalty
and his expectation of eternity.

`Reflections on the Site of Cardinal Newman
On the occasion of the Centenary of his conversion to Catholicism
CTOBER 9th this year marked
the centenary of the conversion
to the Faith of John rienry Newman. The importance of this event is
well illustrated by the celebrations held
both in England and in this country.
In England, the celebrations assumed
an especial magnitude. At Beaumont
College, near Windsor, a gathering of
about four hundred delegates, representing sixteen nations, was held.
That this large assembly should have
taken place in England was most appropriate, as it was there that Newman's influence was most deeply felt.
However, his international fame is reflected by the world-wide nature of the
gathering. In our country, too, although his commemoration was not
carried out on such a large scale, due
respect to his importance was paid. At
St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne,
High Mass was celebrated in thanksgiving for his great services.
Although, as mentioned above, his
greatest influence has been in the
country of his birth, nevertheless the
magnitude of his actions has exercised
its effect on Catholics over the whole
world.
As the real founder and genius of
the Oxford Movement, he set in motion
an impulse which served to enhance
and greatly strengthen the position of
the Catholic Church in England. At
the time of the beginning of this Movement, Catholics in England were a despised, a tolerated but a suspect people.
They had no great cathedrals nor
proud churches — these were Anglican
throughout the land ; instead they resorted to makeshift meeting-houses in
out-of-the-way places. The force which
O
Newman loosed was soon, however, to
break strong barriers, and sweep into
every corner of the land, its effects
being still felt some hundred years
later.
At the time of Newman's conversion,
which marked the end of the first phase
of the Oxford Movement, many converts were brought to the Church.
From the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge alone, some eight hundred
students turned to embrace Catholicism.
But his influence was to extend further.
By reason of the literary power and
beauty of his discourses, the challenging originality of his thought as expressed in his writings and sermons, he
was to gain many followers. The
Anglican Church was deeply shaken by
the influence that Newman exercised,
and although soon after his conversion,
the Oxford Movement began to wane,
the Catholic Church in England was
undergoing a sudden revival and expansion.
The year 1856 marked the meeting
of the first council of the restored English Hierarchy, and this event was in
no small way helped by the prodigious
efforts of Newman. His influence was
felt, not only in the fields of religion,
but also in literature, art, architecture
and even in politics. John Henry Newman was indeed a great man. The
words of Shane Leslie, written on the
departure of Newman from Oxford are
very apt.
"There was a lull as though after
the falling of a great tree in the forest.
The sound of drifting leaves continued
a long time after: the hurrying sound
of those who followed him, or were
scattered further afield.

Letter to Horatius
My Dear Horatius,
I hear that you want to be a
University student when you grow up.
Well that is nice. It is a praiseworthy
ambition, and, especially when there are
quotas and bursaries, it is something to
work for — something you can start
working for now.
But do you realise all that being a
University student entails? It is a career
fraught with dangers. You know what
a career is, don't you? It is an occupation. Some people say that a University course is merely a means to an
occupation — that you 'go to a University
for four or five years only to study so
that you can be a lawyer or a doctor. But
this is not true. People who say this
are wicked and you should not listen to
them.
A University course is a career in itself, totally different from anything you
do before or after it, and it does more
than fit you for another career — it fits
you for life.
Life is a very big thing, Horatius.
It is not merely a very big joke. When
you come to the University you will find
those who think it is a joke — I will
tell you about them later. Life being
such a very big thing, something which
fits you for life must be something of
great importance.
You will be a man when you come to
the University, or at least you will be
supposed to be one. You will have developed a new maturity. You know how
proud you are of being the champion
marble player of your school. Well
when you come to the University you
will not care about that at all. You will
be proud of your billiards.
But that will be only one aspect of
your newly-found manliness. All of your
manly tastes will be forming and in this
critical stage they must form properly,
as later they will be hard to change.
A University, even the Melbourne
University, can help y-s-ni to develop
these tastes far better than most other
places can. But it can also hinder far
better than most other places can.
For you will be all alone and will not
be forced by teachers or masters to do
the right thing. You will be gloriously
and, perilously free. Therein lie the
dangers. There are, of course, many
dangers, and I shall have time only to
tell you of two of the main ones, which
trap many unwary students.
The first is — if the word is not too
big for you — an exaggerated spec-ial-isa-tion. You many think that this is
funny, but many people, when they do
a University course, study all day long
and do not spend any time at hobbies,
or at what we call at the University
"cultural pursuits."
They sit in a room with a book, and
if they are going to be doctors they are
able to talk to you— in language you
cannot understand — about pulmorary
thrombosis, and if they are budding
lawyers they speak about "caveat
emptor" or something, but it becomes
rather boring for the lawyers when they
have to listen to the doctors or vice
versa.
You know Dr. McMorphia — the one
who starts to look uncomrortable when
the conversation gets any deeper than
the state of cigarette rationing or hotel
closing hours. He was one of these
One of the strange things about the
average specialist is that he does not
specialise in even a whole subject. He
specialises in, say science, and learns
among other things about atoms, the
construction and reaction of atoms, the
size of atoms, the energy contained in
atoms—in fact everything about atoms
except the simple fundamental questions
which you, Horatius, would ask im-
24
NEWMAN
mediately : Who made the atoms? How
did the atoms come into existence?
At the University such simple questions as these are called "philosophical
questions" and, instead of people studying them together with their scientific
studies, only a small group of people,
who are not scientists at all, study them
and other fundamental questions. These
people are called "philosophers" and are
regarded with great awe and respect by
the rest of the University.
The fact is, people tend to specialise
in such atom-sized part. of life to the
exclusion of all else, that we may practically call it atomic specialisation, and
this atomic specialisation like the atomic
bomb, has and will have a momentous
and deadening effect on the world of culture, if not on the worla of science.
Well, that is one of the grave dangers
I was telling you about, and I am sure
you think that that is enough. But there
is a second which is even more harmful
than the first. It is not as widespread
as some people who criticize the University say it is, but it has a far worse
effect on its victims and on the victims
of its victims.
I am talking of the danger of becoming an "intellectual." Please Horatiusand I am on my knees as I write this—
please do not be an "intellectual." Do
not misunderstand me. I mean an "intellectual," not an intellectual. There is
a world of difference between an "intellectual" in inverted commas and a real
intellectual.
It is impossible to state this difference
perfectly clearly and precisely so that
from my letter you will be able to conclude that this man is an "intellectual"
and this one is not. The only way of
learning is by meeting and knowing
"intellectuals" yourself, so that you cannot forget what they are like.
However, as a general rule the "intellectual" knows much the same or
perhaps a little more than the average
person about any subjects which he decides are not beneath his dignity, and
airs this knowledge to a practically
unbearable extent, trying to make himself look twice as clever by using long
words and perhaps even quotations
which he hurriedly memorises from
learned books. Strangely enough, many
"intellectuals' " examination results are
rather poor.
The true intellectual on the other
hand is well-informed, but generally does
not show his knowledge in an overbearing manner.
Some other minor differences are these
—again this is not a universal rule—
that the "intellectual" treats life flippantly, takes his opinions seriously and
himself most solemnly. On the other
hand the true intellectual takes life, his
views and himself seriously, but without
losing his sense of humour. Unfortunately, true intellectuals are much fewer
in number than are "intellectuals."
There are certain conventions which
most "intellectuals" observe. They are
smart, rarely at a loss for a "bon mot"
or a stinging remark and above all are
never unwilling to criticise. Many of
them make a show of being unpractical,
their minds of course being on a much
higher plane than the common or garden
mind of the ordinary man.
In short they are so insufferable that
it is almost worse to have to talk to
one than to be one. The poor old onetrack minded specialist is more tolerable
than the "intellectual," for at least he is
honest and red-blooded enough to admit that he can speak of nothing but his
work, and perhaps football.
So you see some of the horrible
dangers that will be before you. I will
tell you what to do to avoid them. Have
at least one interest for your intellect
besides your work, and take it seriously.
If you have to read for it, read one good
book slowly and well, two or three times
if necessary and think over it. Do not
read quickly through a whole library on
the subject, just for the pleasure of
being able to say that you have read
X's book on this subject and that his
treatment of it is a trifle more naive

Above all be natural and sensible.
Let there be no forced gaiety — no
treating of life as a big joke because
some others do so, no airy "intellectualism" because it looks so cultured, no exclusive specialisation because you want
to be a good doctor at the expense of
being an indifferent man.
Here I would like to explain to you

weaknesses of other men, with outstretched arm and pointed finger saying

"Look at them!" I myself am in the

I am the better qualified to describe them

more and warn you against them with
the more vehemence.
There is much more I could and
much more I should tell you about the

over what I have written and I will tell
you more in my next letter. Do not forget to start preparing for your University life now. Write soon and let me

TO A PENCIL
Little pencil,
You were not always so small;
But you are more significant now, in
your inch or two
Than when, untouched and shining, you
Were first sharpened, when the painted
wood was pared,
And first this potent little leaden rod
was bared.
Don't you know?
This tiny point became the focus of a
man;
And through your moving mark
His deepest self, no longer hid, and
all its fluid covering's poured;
By you, he's formed his spark
That lights for other eyes his interweave with things, his inward
sounding chord.
Spent and battered pencil,
You've served your life, diminished
by your work
In stature only — like our oldest
shrunken men and women of the
earth,
Who seem ridiculous, because we don't
perceive Vie& gone forgotten worth.
Yet, as you shorter grow, a man is
growing in his agreement with
humankind.
You disappear like leaves before the
fruit, and dying leave new life
behind.

THE YEAR
HE Academic Year opened offirr
, cially on March 12th, although
thanks to the generosity of the
Rector, many of the Senior students in
the faculties of Medicine, Dentistry,
Engineering and Science had been in
residence some six weeks prior to this
date. With the departure of the Air
Force, a larger number of students
than had been present over the last
three years was expected. Our hopes
were fully realised, as in all, ninety-six
students, of whom thirty-four were
freshmen, resided in the College during
the ya.r. We were pleased to welcome
back from the Forces Messrs. J. A.
Ryan and J. H. Reen. We were pleased
also to see Mr. L. Scullion return after
his recent illness. It was with deep regret that we witnessed the departure of
Messrs. B. M. Hoare, P. J. Ryan and
H. J. Tighe, whose temporary absence
is due to illness. We are glad to know
however, that they are rapidly regaining their health and will soon again be
with us.
On our return to College we found
that the lounge had been fully renovated. A large number of rooms also
had been re-painted, and we should like
to express our gratitude to the Rector,
through whose generosity these changes
were accomplished.
The First Term Dance was held on
April 27th. A record attendance of
225 was noted, 33 Old Boys being
present. All considered the evening a
great success, and on this account we
are greatly indebted to the secretaries,
Messrs. B. O'Brien and J. Carew.
The sporting activities of the year
have their own place in the Magazine,
and so there is no need to recount them
again here ; suffice it to say that the
brilliant victory of our football' team
provided a fitting background for the
Second Term Dance, which was held the
same evening, under the capable direction of Messrs J. Mortensen and T.
Campbell-Burns.
During the Second Term the Dramatic Society was founded. Although
reports of its activities are found on
other pages, we should like to congratulate its members on the high standard
of their first public performance, which
took the form of a concert at St. Mary's
Hall.
A pleasant surprise this year was the
special dinner given by Father Rector
to mark the end of the World War on
August 16th.
The Annual Golf Day was held at
Huntingdale Golf Course on September
6th. Although the weather was not conducive to good golf, a most enjoyable
day was had by all. The arrangements
were in the hands of Messrs. P. Penn
and C. lArolkenstein, who merited the
sincere thanks of all who attended.
The Third Term Dance was held on
October 5th, an despite the imminence
of exams. was well attended. Messrs.
D. Jones and J. McGoldrick deserve our
thanks for their capable organisation.
The final social event of the year —
the Tennis Day—was held on October
28th. For the organising of this
pleasant day we are indebted to Mr.
Leo Cleary and Mr. Brian Mason.
This year, as in the past two, years,
a Combined Sports and Valete Dinner
was held on Wed., Oct. 24, at which the
Rector entertained the College. We are
indebted to him for his generosity, also
to Mrs. Staples, whose hard work for
this function was amply shown by its
success.
During the Second Term Vacation
Inter-Varsity Debates were held in
Melbourne. Mr. Max Charlesworth was
one of the members of the Melbourne
University Team, and we wish to extend our congratulations to him on his
fine performances in this sphere.
During the Third Term the custom of
having the College Benediction on the
First Friday of the month was resumed.
The resumption of this practice was
greatly appreciated by the students.
NEWMAN
The Annual Requiem was celebrated
by Father Rector on November 8th,
and was attended by many students of
the College, both past and present.
The Students' Club was pleased to
forward some twenty pounds to the St.
Vincent de Paul Society, also five
pounds to St. Vincent's Hospital.
In general the year was characterised
by a spirit of intense study. Unfortunately it is still the sad fate of some
of us to be faced with examinations in
the first and second terms, but it is to
be hoped that with the return to the
normal length of courses, this state
of affairs will soon depart.
If one were asked to comment on the
general atmosphere now prevailing at
the College, it would be right to say
that it is a very pleasing one. Apart
from the conscientious interest in
study, there exists a spirit which might
be described as constructive. This is
manifest in the formation of a College
Choir and a College Dramatic Society,
also in the growing vigour of the Debating Society and Catholic Action
Groups. The existence of these organisations is ample proof of the wide and
intelligent interest of the students in
27
informative subjects, and such an interest is to be highly commended.
In the early part of the year considerable difficulty was experienced in
the procurement of staff. This position
has now been remedied to a great extent. However, even during the anxious
days of First Term, the Matron carried
on with her usual efficiency. Indeed we
cannot fully express to her our deep
appreciation and thanks for her services throughout the year. Her difficulties are still great in number, yet she
has managed to render them as insignificant as possible.
To the Rector we are indebted for
his generosity and help in many aspects
of Club affairs. His great assistance
and sound advice in numerous matters
have made possible the smooth working
of the College as a whole, and we extend to him every best wish, and our
deeu thanks for his sterling services.
To the Dean, and to Fr. Kelly, we
owe a debt of gratitude for their kindly
interest in the students, and would like
them to know that their unfailing help
is deeply appreciated.
In conclusion the Students' Club extends its thanks to Mr. George Mitchell
and Mr. E. C. McDonald for their kind
assistance during the year.
Marriages
During the year a number of Old
Boys became married. Mr. William
Bourke, Surgeon Lieut. Gerald Brosnan, Dr. Denis Clarke, Dr. Adrian
Jones, Dr. George Morrison, Mr.
Maurice Mulcahy, Mr. Alex Roche, and
Dr. Gerald Westmore had their weddings celebrated with Nuptial Mass in
the College Chapel. The wedding of Dr.
Glen Hickey was celebrated with
Nuptial Mass at St. Peter's Church,
Toorak. Also, we learn that Dr. Bill
Harris was married recently in Sydney.
Mr. Des. Kelly was married last year.
To all these we offer our congratulations and best wishes.
As we go to press, we learn that the
wedding of P./O. Peter Knox was celebrated with Nuptial Mass in the
College Chapel. To him we offer our
congratulations and best wishes.

NCE more it is the chronicler's sad task to bid farewell to those

and staunch supporters in our moments of success and failure. To them
then, we extend our congratulations and every best wish for their future
success.
MEDICINE.
R. E. SEAL, B.A. (Hons.) (1938-'45).
Newman this year honoured with the
Presidency of its Students' Club this
man, whose career must rank highly in
the College annals. With consummate
ease he has attained renown in the many
spheres of his activity during a long
period of residence.
A classical scholar of the old tradition
he has gained the Athlete's laurels in
inter-collegiate sport for six years in
succession, leading our team to brilliant
victory on two of these occasions.
Twice he has edited the College Magazine, and his contributions to others have
revealed his effortless grace of style and
clarity of mind. These gifts, combined
with a becoming and natural simplicity
of manner, have made him also a formidable member of many debating teams.
Medicine has wooed, but not won him,
and it cannot be more than complementary in building a mind so rarely
versed in so many branches of learning.
Our recent efforts in the field of Drama
received his valuable support : we regret
that he will not be in College to guide
the early development of this long-felt
need.
Despite his many achievements he has
not altered since he came to us. It cannot be said of many, as it can be of him,
that they have given to Newman as
much as Newman could give to them.
We only hope that his departure will
not break the ties of many friendships
that now bind us. May he be blest with
the happiness and good fortune he so
richly deserves.
F. X. G. HURLEY (1940-'40.—
Always a man with sincere beliefs and
definite opinions. His departure will be
mourned by those who realise that these
characteristics are so sorely needed and
yet so sadly lacking in the world to-day.
From the days of his fiery youth, when
he feared not to speak up against those
things that he abhorred, he has now become a more leisurely and settled soul
— perhaps we see the result of some
fair hand's soothing grace. He has
served his College well, both in the
sporting and intellectual field. His
cricketing and football prowess, his
high standard in the art of dialectics,
his capable editing of one, and numerous
literary contributions to other College
magazines, and his able administrative
qualities will ever remain as achievements to which few can hope to aspire.
May every success be his in the life
awaiting him.
D. W. MAGINN (194.1-'45).—Intelligent study, a full knowledge of the
ways of enjoyment and recreation, and
1
THEGENERAL COMMITTEE.
NEWMAN
a period of administrative duties have
now made him a very mature and wise
person. Although gone are the halycon
days of his early years, and instead are
more settled and sedate times, yet he
is still an amiable and happy soul to
those who know him. Famed for his
ready wit and shrewd advice, his countenance now beaming, now filled with
dark expression, he will be greatly
missed. Yet we feel that the trials of
the world will hold no great fears for
one so versed in the problem of
existence.
C. G. BATTEN (1939-'.42-'45).—
Forever a source of interminable laughter
and enjoyment. His ever flowing conversation and wit have long been a cause
of wonderment for all, especially for
those who sit with him at the breakfast
table. Beneath his jovial countenance,
however, there lies a mind well versed
in the arts of literature, music and
painting. Conscientious study both in
the realms of medicine and culture have
made him a very well equipped person
who should grace the ranks of professional men in no mean fashion. His
graceful manner and irrepressible "Joie
de vivre" will long be remembered.
J. W. FLANAGAN (1941-'45).—
Never one to seek the limelight, he will
not however be forgotten. His kindness,
unselfishness and respect for the sacredness of others' affairs will long be remarked upon as admirable traits in any
young professional man. Despite his
reticence he has managed to represent
his College ably on numerous occasions,
and conscientious study throughout his
course will no doubt reap its deserved
reward by graduation at an early age.
LAW.
(Hons.)
E. J. HOGAN, B.A.
(1939-'45).—Efficiency is his watchword
and his numerous time-tables, alarm
clocks and filing cabinets bear adequate
testimony to this. This quality has en-
31
abled him to perform feats of organisation that few could have thought
possible. His rescue and stabilisation
of Club finances have rendered this
College forever his debtDr in gratitude.
Yet his many activities are known of in
more distant parts, and often indeed do
the heights of Kew hear his martial
stride and busy typewriter. As secretary
of the Newman Society he has dispelled
the apathy which for long had shackled
it and now with beaming countenance he
prepares the Chapel for the entry of his
followers. Within this model of efficiency, however, there lies a mind well
versed in the law of the land and in the
culture of the ancients. From his fluent
tongtie there comes at times a fascinating
discourse on the topics of the day, the
soundness of which need not be
doubted. Indeed we look with sorrow
to his departure, for Newman will have
lost one of her greatest friends and most
conscientious supporters.
SCIENCE.
C. C. CULVENOR (1942-'45).—
Diligent study has been his watchword,
and the result of this is amply shown in
the brilliance of his results. Yet he has
found time to represent his College on
the river, and here again all have been
impressed by his zeal for the task.
Always a man of few words, he dared
not trespass on ground with which he
was unfamiliar, with the result that his
knowledge and logic were ever sound.
His persistent efforts and regard for his
College will be remembered.
T. CAMPBELL BURNS (1943-'45).
—A possessor of boundless energy, his
many feats of organisation will perhaps
be better recalled by our sister College
than by ourselves. His enthusiasm for
swimming and rowing are well known,
but few indeed knew of the true depth
of his kindness and unselfishness. His
dapper figure, youthful countenance and
grace of manner will unfortunately be no
longer with us.
ENGINEERING.
T. M. CROTTY (1942-'45).--He was
one of those plain people, who never
sought to trespass on ground of which
he was not sure. His success throughout his course has been achieved by dint
of hard work, yet he has found time to
interest himself in most aspects of College life. Rowing, Debating, Dramatics
claimed his attention, and these, together
with a knowledge of everyday affairs
made him an interesting companion. His
boyish smile, easy-going manner and
trust and regard for his fellow students
have been appreciated by many.
J. A. McDONALD (1942-'45). —
The bosom friend and room-mate of the
above, his character is not dissimilar.
His tenacity as a mile runner is now
legend, and indeed this trait manifested
itself in him in many ways. His faithfulness and unselfishness have endeared
him to those who knew him well.
Always a staunch College man, he was
ever ready to play his part. His fixity
of purpose and idea, his fineness and
solidity of character will be greatly
missed by those who realise that such
qualities are not often found in these
times.
E. J. RYAN (1943-'45).—He was one
of those quiet people, who preferred to
confine himself to the circle of his firm
friends. Consequently few knew him
well, but all were aware of his diligence
as a student. The river was his recreation
ground, and on this he conscientiously
served his College. His reticence and
meekness will be remembered by those
who claimed him as a friend.
D. J. JONES (1943-45).—Like his
other companions of the Engineering
Faculty, he was one of the quieter
elements in the College. fiowever, on
numerous occasions he came to our
notice as a very efficient organiser of
various social functions. His affable
and pleasant manner was unchanging,
and his deep esteem for his fellow
students won him many firm friends.
For the past two years he has brightened the pages of "Taboo" with his amusing and well-executed sketches, and
these indeed were a reflection of his
happy and charitable character. May he
continue to brighten the lives of his
fellow creatures in the outside world.

Albert Power Debating Society
I
N this age, which is perhaps fonder
than most of axioms, it has become
axiomatic to say that the pen is
mightier than the sword. This statement
requires but little thought to be proved
quite justifiable, and a statement equally
justifiable is, having advanced one step
further in the hierarchy, to say that the
tongue is mightier than the pen.
To observe the influence of the spoken
word throughout history, one has only
to recall such names as Edmund Burke,
Robert Emmet and William Gladstone
— all brilliant men, who without their
gifts of oratory might never have been
more than merely capable.
With the invention of radio the spoken
word has become of more importance
than ever before, and tne day of the
supremacy of the written word has
passed. The spoken word has carried
men — such as Adolf Hitler and Winston
Churchill — to the height of political
power. How many have heard
Churchill's speeches and have felt the
personality in his deep, gruff growl ; and
compared with this number how few
have read and been influenced by his
writings.
In a world such as this, with technical devices for the transmission of the
voice improving daily, and the domain
of the pen being encroached upon, it is
the duty of every educated man to learn
to speak in public, and to develop what
latent talent he has.
In the restless years that will follow
the war, Australia will need, as at no
other time, capable speakers with sound
ideas, to oppose forces antagonistic to
her interest, and to lead her to a
glorious future. We, being Catholics,
have sound ideas. All that remains is
for us to learn to put them forward
clearly and in such a way as to inspire
interest and enthusiasm. This we can
learn in the Debating Society.
We record with pleasure that the in-
terest of the College in debating has increased somewhat this year. There was
a long list of people desiring to debate,
and a good attendance at meetings. Six
debates were held, and the standard of
speaking, though not brilliant, was reasonable, and, what is most important,
the interest of those attending the debates was unwavering.
On the other hand we note with regret the absence from debates of many
senior members of the College, whose
participation in debates and speeches
from the floor of the house would have
been valuable and much appreciated.
The chief event of the year was an unofficial inter-collegiate debate against the
William Quick Society of Queen's
College. This took place at Newman
and was attended by Rev. Fr. Rector,
Mr. Scott, of Queen's, Rev. Fr. F. Goulding, O.F.M., Mr. F. Cola han and Dr. F.
Niall. The adjudicator was Professor
MacCallum, the Chairman of the Professorial Board, for whose presence we
here record our thanks. Newman was
affirming and Queen's denying "That Democracy Breeds Fools." The debate was
awarded to the Newman team, which
consisted of Mr. F. X. Harley and Mr.
M. Charlesworth. The evening concluded
with supper, for which we wish to offer
our thanks to the Matron.
In conclusion, I am able to say, in
contrast to the statements which have
appeared on this page in previous years,
that, from the evidence of this year's
activities, it seems that the Albert Power
Debating Society is rising from its old
state of lethargy and will return to its
rightful place as a leading part of college
life.

HE year was distinguished by an
event of inestimable importance in
the eyes of the tiny hand of intellectuals still adhering obstinately to a discredited educational tradition, the re-birth
of drama within the College. The history
of the movement is, to say the least,
inspiring. A noble group of zealous
patrons of the theatre, roused to holy
wrath by the prevailing hostility towards
artistic or "cultural" pursuits, resolved,
in bold defiance of the unfavourable
oracle, to restore at least one of those
pursuits to its natural position of deserved eminence. From this high resolution emerged an organization christened,
rather hopefully, the Dramatic Society.
The aim, to revive and encourage in an
indifferent world a true appreciation of
drama. The resources, childlike faith
and patient enthusiasm. The organization, a committee of five (three from
Newman and two from St. Mary's Hall),
supported by thirty or forty members
professing to seek the way of truth and
beauty.
Practically therefore the only thing
lacking was experience. Even this regrettable deficiency, however, was more
than compensated for by the energetic
co-operation and outstanding competence of Maureen Christie, who confessed to a wide and profitable association with the dramatic art. Under her
guidance and inspired by her infectious
zeal, the cultural orphan rapidly gained
confidence and self-assurance.
Owing to the late start (the Society
was not formed until second term) it
was wisely decided to adopt a modest
programme in the initial stages. It was
felt that the year's activities should be
confined to obtaining an idea of the
available talent and to creating a lasting
interest in drama. In pursuance of this
policy play-readings were arranged at
regular intervals in second term, when a
T
large number of potential artists offered
their talent to a critical public. A surprising, and intensely gratifying, amount
of ability was unearthed in this fashion,
which, as shrewd observers point out,
augurs well for the future of the Society.
Gentlemen normally of very modest mien
and gentle disposition made very bold
lovers and cruel villains indeed. Ladies,
to the casual eye intent only upon the
elusive glamour of a "career", revealed
simple feminine charm one would never
have suspected.
So impressed in fact were the stern
critics of the Committee with the available histrionic material that they ventured to arrange a dramatic evening during the last week of the winter vacation.
The venue of this memorable production
was St. Mary's Hall, where the spacious
common room was kindly put at the
Society's disposal by Mother Francis.
Despite the absence of a stage and the
general impossibility of rehearsals, the
evening was an unqualified success. A
large crowd attended, some genuinely
interested, some with less worthy
motives. However, even the amused
cynics, carping critics, and sour sceptics
amongst the audience were agreeably
surprised, and the less unregenerate of
them frankly delighted. The presence of
the Rector, Fr. Murphy, inspired the performers to heights of achievement which
a less distinguished audience might have
failed to evoke. The Rector's generous
support and interest in the Society from
the outset has contributed largely to its
success. For his patronage the Society is
deeply grateful. Thus the Dramatic
Society had made an auspicious debut.
Next year it is devoutly hoped to expand
greatly its activities to embrace a public
performance before the unbelieving eyes
of a sophisticated world.
The advent and apparent success of
the Dramatic Society should be a source
36
NE WM A N
of intense satisfaction to all concerned
with the future of the College. It provides a splendid outlet for the natural
artistic impulse latent in the normal
academic mind. Further, it serves to
offset the unfortunate pre-occupation
with purely technical pursuits that so
obviously exists within this University.
The diversion of intellectual energy into
the calmer, more balanced atmosphere of
great literature and the opportunities for
restrained self-expression possible
through the Society's functions will more
than repay the time devoted to these
activities. To those who view current
educational trends with alarm and deplore the increasing resemblance of the
Liberal University to a professional
assembly-line, the Dramatic Society
promises to fill a crying need. We can
only hope that the initial high standard
will be always maintained and that the
splendid enthusiasm spontaneously displayed this year will not easily wane.

THE CHOIR
T
HIS year has seen the fulfilment
of a long-felt need — the formation of a College choir.
In all, twenty-five members of the
College comprise the choir, the value
of which in developing a finer appreciation for music cannot be underestimated. The choir under the expert
guidance of Fr. Kelly has not confined
itself solely to sacred music but has
practised secular music regularly. It is
hoped that in the future, music which
ranks so high amongst the arts will
achieve an important position in College
life.
Up to the present the choir have sung
sacred music at Benedictions only, but
as it progresses we expect that for the
first time a Newman choir will sing a
High Mass or Missa Cantata in the
College Chapel. Early in the year the
choir commenced singing in two parts
only, but later three parts were formed.
The two part hymns were the 0 Salutaris, Tantum Ergo and Adoremus, all
arranged by Webbe; also "Hail Queen
of Heaven," words being by Dr. Lignard, music by Hemy ; "Jesus my Lord,
my God," the harmony of which was
arranged by Dr. P. Jones ; a traditional
Irish Tantum Ergo, and finally another
hymn to the Blessed Sacrament, "0 Cor
Amoris Victima". The latter was
arranged as a duet by Fr. Doss, a German
Jesuit.
Three parts hymns included a Tantum
Ergo composed by Beethoven for a
string quartet and arranged in parts by
Fr. G. O'Neill, S.J., "Hail 0 Star of
Ocean," which is a translation of "Ave
Maris Stella," the harmony and arrangement being by Cellini ; an Adoremus,
composed and arranged by Drake, and
Wilson's 0 Salutaris. Wilson composed
this as a piano piece called "Chapel in
the Mountains." The story is of a wanderer moving through the mountains
with the birds singing sweetly on all
sides until he encounters a chapel from
which issues this fine melody.
At the end of the second term vacation
the Dramatic Society held a concert at
St. Mary's Hall, and the choir, under
the able baton of Chris Wolkenstein,
gave an excellent performance of several
songs. They were Rouget de Lisle's
Marseillaise sung in unison and in parts,
"The Good Rhein Wine," which incidentally was a favorite song of Fr. J.
O'Dwyer S.J., the first Rector of Newman; the Italian folk song, Santa Lucia,
the harmony of which was arranged by
Fr. Kelly, and "Ye Banks and Braes."
Finally, the members of the choir
wish to express their sincere gratitude
for the fine work Fr. Kelly has done in
commencing the choir. His efforts
throughout the year were untiring and
the members of the choir are deeply
appreciative of his zeal and enthusiasm.

DARRELL P. IRWIN ('43-'44).
His tragic death came as a great
shock to all of us. Coming to Newman
in 1943, he embarked on a Science
Course, which was well on the way to
completion when the fates decreed
otherwise. By virtue of his sincerity
and quiet unobtrusive manner he acquired many firm friends and even
those who could not claim a close association, admired him for these traits.
We sadly mourn his death, and offer
our deep sympathy to his loving
parents.
Requiescat in Pace.
DANIEL A. DONOVAN ('21-'24).
During the year, we received the sad
news of the death of Daniel Donovan.
He entered College in 1921, and wa3 a
prominent member of the XVIII and
Athletic team during the years
1921-2-3-4, captaining the latter during
1922-3-4. He earned fame as a sprinter
and won the first athletic event in the
history of the College in 1921. In the
following year he established a record
for the 440 yards. He received his University Blue in Athletics, having been
a member of two Inter-Varsity teams.
After leaving Newman, he lived at
Cororooke, where he practised as a
solicitor.
We extend to his relatives and
friends our sincere sympathy.
Requiescat in Pace.
DAVID LEWIS ('18-'21-'23).
Last year we learned with deep regret of the death of David Lewis, in
America. He came to Newman in 1918
to study Science. In his first year he
gained an Exhibition in Chemistry, and
in due course received his B.Sc. degree.
Shortly after leaving Newman in
1923 he went to America to join the
Westinghouse Works at Pittsburgh.
There he worked successfully, and lived
a very happy life. However, his span
of life was brought to an untimely end
by his death at Alanta, Georgia, on July
24th, 1944.
To his relatives and family we extend our deepest sympathy.
Requiescat in Pace.
JAMES A. GREEN ('42).
Jim was one of our youngest Old
Boys, and indeed it was with deep regret that we heard of his tragic death.
He came to us in 1942 to continue his
Medical studies, having completed the
first year in Perth. At the end of the
year he joined the R.A.A.F., and in due
course received his wings, only to be
accidentally killed during the latter
stages of his training. His nobility of
action and word, his sincere love for
his friends, and natural manner endeared him to many.
We offer our deep sympathy to his
grief-stricken parents.
We extend to Gerard Schaefler our
deepest sympathy on the . death of his
mother.
To Dan O'Connor, whose mother
died during the year, we offer our deepest sympathy.

St. Mary's Hall Notes
HIS year we welcomed Mother
Sylvester and Sister Louis to the
Hall, having said farewell last
year to Mothers Claude and Catherine.
The Conservatorium students came
back in February, and by the time the
more leisured students arrived, were
accustomed to the many changes which
had been made, especially in Les Buis
— walls freshly painted in pastel tonings, stained floors, and new furnishings. The Chapel in our absence had
been completely transformed. The walnut altar and newly-stained benches
blended perfectly with a new green
carpet on the sanctuary floor, and
effective lighting and new stained glass
windows gave an atmosphere of dignity
and simplicity.
Freshers this year were from Western Australia, South Australia and
Queensland, as well as from Victoria.
Already holding academic honours,
Maureen Dyson, B.A., and Carmel
Montgomery, B.Sc., came to further
their studies : Maureen in Social Science
and Carmel in Bacteriology.
Pat Kennedy, our final year law
student, was elected Senior Student and
in this capacity can advise the club on
the legal aspect of any problems that
may arise. Joan Moore, Joan Herd and
Pat Prendergast were elected to the
committee, and in second term Maureen
Christie joined this august body.
With renewed spirits and strength
after the Easter vacation, we began our
preparations for the Freshers' Dance.
With our complement of thirty-one students this dance presented no manpower problems as it is many years
since we saw such a large array of
Newman freshmen.
This social event was no sooner over
than an invitation from Janet Clarke
Hall to take part in a tennis tournament of the combined women's colleges
aroused many of our aspiring champions. The spirit is willing but the
T
flesh is weak, and only one of our number, Joan Herd, reached the semi-finals.
After the game we were entertained at
afternoon tea at Janet Clarke Hall.
By second term even the freshers felt
that the exams. were still a long way
off and a more social trend developed.
Informal dances were held on many
Sunday evenings, the music being provided by a wireless and pick-up, which
with Mr. Campbell-Burns' assistance
we had been able to instal.
In July the Very Rev. Fr. Ciantar
gave us a retreat which was attended
by many non-resident members of the
Newman Society.
Heralded by many days of intensive
preparation which took diverse forms
from polishing the floor (reminiscent of
Canoby Lee in Walter Scott's sturdy lay
"Lochnivar") to hairsetting, the second
term Common-room Dance was a great
success. Frocking was formal and now
that the war is over we hope that we
shall soon return to the era of top hat,
white tie and tails.
No chronicle of events at St. Mary's
Hall this year would be complete without mention of the inauguration of the
Dramatic Society under the direction of
Maureen Christie, who had already
been on the other side of the footlights,
and John Curtain. Many of us whose
only previous experience had been
gained in the back row of the chorus
in school plays found ourselves eagerly
taking part in the fortnightly play
readings, and a surprising array of
dramatic talent was revealed. One evening, on the kind invitation of Father
Murphy, we went to Newman and those
hallowed walls, accustomed to the
sombre tones of male voices, resounded
to the ring of future Bernhardts and
Cornelis.
The grand finale came on the last
Friday in swot vac in our own common
room, and the audience left us in
no doubt as to the success of the con-
cert. Sketches, a play-reading, and
items provided by our own and Newman musicians all assisted in making
this a most entertaining evening.
Before ending this article we wish
to thank Mother Francis and all the
nuns for their help and many kindnesses during the year.
L.J.M.
We wish to congratulate the following past students :Mrs. Chris. Bourke (Margery Owens)
on the birth of a daughter; Mrs. Don
Coghlan (Nora Brown) on the birth
of a daughter, and to offer felicitations
to — Moira Howard on her marriage to
Dr. Gerald Westmore ; Nancy Barbour,
on her marriage to P.O. George
Thomas, Ruby Lucas, on her marriage
to Surg. Lieut. Gerald Brosnan ; Mary
O'Reilly, on her engagement to Eric
Seal. ; and to two of our present students, Joan Moore, who announced her
engagement early in the year to Jim
Strachan, and Betty Parker, whose engagement was announced to Jake
Arundell, we would like to extend our
very best wishes for the future.
A.P.K.
Golf Day
N September 6th, about twenty
enthusiasts arose early, polished
their clubs, took from guarded
drawers the one precious ball which
had been carefully stored for this day,
and made their way by various modes
of transport to the rolling meadows
and greens of Huntingdale Golf Club.
Those who had previously taken part
in this, the greatest of our social functions, were determined to improve on
their former scores, whilst those new
to our democratic contest were intend
on returning with the trophy. However, each man at least knew in his
heart, that if to-day he did not attain
the ideal for which he had long striven,
he could relish the stimulating air and
green pastures — the very things he
had so often dreamed about and wished
to do.
The Huntingdale course is a very
beautiful one, and is indeed the golfers'
Utopia, and the obvious courtesy and
desire to help shown by the officials was
greatly appreciated by those present.
Disappointing again was the poor
attendance of Old Boys. Due to the
strain of war-time duties the only representatives were : Mr. F. Morgan,
Mr. A. Redmond, Mr. G. Hiscock and
O
Dr. R. Galbally. Mr. F. Morgan won
the Old Boys' Handicap Let us hope
that more Old Boys will be with us next
year.
Mr. C. Jenkins, on scratch, did not
live up to expectations and returned
with a card of 111-57-54, being runnerup to Mr. K. Flanagan with 104-53-51.
Our congratulations go to him on his
fine performance.
Mr. G. Grant won the handicap. His
score was 137-64-70, with a handicap
of 50. Since he had played only twice
before, this was quite commendable.
The four-ball competition was easily
won by Mr. F. Morgan and Mr. A. Redmond.
The scores may look disappointing to
some, but considering the length of the
course and the strength of the wind,
were of quite fair standard.
Again, as has been our good fortune
in the past, we are deeply indebted to
Mr. P. F. and Dr. J. O'Collins for
donating the trophies for this day.
We should also like to express our
gratitude to Mr. C. Wolkenstein and
Mr. P. Penn, whose untiring efforts
made this day an unqualified success.

This year saw the resumption of
official inter-collegiate sport. Such an
event was warmly welcomed by all
those who for the past three years have
felt that the cessation of official sport
was unwarranted. Although the exigencies of war have rightfully caused us
to make certain sacrifices, still we feel
that the unofficial nature of our sporting
fixtures has served no useful purpose.
The reasons for this statement are two
in number. The first is that on account
of the attitude towards sport during
the latter years of the war, the mental
and physical development of the undergraduate has suffered to no small degree. The second reason is that we
now find that the standard of intercollegiate sport has to some extent
fallen, and that the interest of the
students has, in this regard, greatly
waned.
On reviewing our position we are
forced to admit that we have lost more
than we have gained. We have lost,
because some of our undergraduates and
even graduates are lacking in the spirit
of team-work, in the ability to accept
victory and defeat in the appropriate
fashion, and in the spirit of self-denial
that is so necessary for the adequate
training of any budding athlete. Further, we have allowed our interest and
our standards to deteriorate, yet what
have we gained? We venture to say
that we have gained nothing. These
may seem harsh words, and certain
people may plead that although sport
was declared "unofficial," yet the various fixtures were held, so that students
were not deprived of its benefits. To
this we answer that the tag "unofficial"
served to place sport in the background,
and to discourage students from partaking of it, with the result that either
they played sport, but in a spirit of
greatly diminished zeal and interest, or
they took no part whatsoever. The
effects resulting from these two things
need not be reiterated.
Should war occur in the future, we
sincerely hope that we shall not witness
the recurrence of such a retrograde
step.
Looking back on Newman's sporting
record for 1945, we see that for the
most part our efforts were not crowned
with success. We won the football,
were runners-up in the athletics, but
were defeated in the first round of the
cricket, rowing and tennis. In swimming, which is not yet recognised as an
official inter-collegiate contest, we were
successful in annexing first and second
places. Our victory in the football
served perhaps to offset our disappointments in the other spheres of
sport, for it is with great pleasure that
we feel we have maintained our traditional supremacy in this field. In
athletics too although we failed to
retain the Cato Shield, our results were deserving of praise. In
these two sports, as in the rowing,
cricket and tennis, the interest and zeal
of those concerned was to be highly
commended. Yet in all of them certain
of the senior men are to be severely
criticised for their failure to participate.
In tennis a much-needed revival was
manifest. Prospective members of this
team began their training early in
second term, and their results are by
no means a true indication of their
standard. In rowing, although training
was begun early and the interest of the
rowers was very great, the indescribable
state of our boats caused frequent
delays. Until this is rectified the most
zealous crew could not fail to be disheartened. In cricket, the shortness of
the time allowed for practice, and the
scarcity of practice wickets, detracted
greatly from the ability of the team.
It is hoped that with the restoration of
our own practice pitch next year, a
decided improvement will show itself.
If our enthusiasm persists and if
our training is correctly carried out,
then we look forward to 1946 with
much hope.

CRICKET
Resounding Defeat
UR story this year is short, and
one of defeat—a defeat inexcusable
but not ignominious. The loss of
five of last year's players, the foundation
of our winning team, was naturally a
grave one, and left its imprint on the
scores.
The preparation for the Ormond match
was distinguished by the enthusiasm
shown by the majority of the practice
list, but the absence of many of the
freshmen must be remarked upon.
O
NEWMAN v. ORMOND.
Tribute should be paid to the bowling
of Nagle and Batten, who, between them,
dismissed the Ormond side. After mention has been made of O'Neill's effort to
make a stand in the second innings, and
of Hughes' relatively steady innings, no
other member of the team warrants individual praise. The batting was poor—
this is borne out by the scores, which
record only three with double figures—
and the fielding was not always to be
relied on.
We have accepted our defeat in a
manner becoming the traditions of Newman, and paradox though it sounds, welcome it as an added incentive to succeed
in the cricket next year. To achieve this
end, it is vital that the senior men of the
College do not rest on their laurels. They
should always remember that on them
rests the responsibility of inspiring the
freshmen by their enthusiasm. Furthermore, if we are to succeed next year
match practice is essential, and every
effort should be made by the Cricket
Committee to ensure that inexperience
will not cause our downfall again.
To Ormond, who defeated Queen's in
the final, we offer our congratulations on
winning the cricket premiership — the
first to be officially recognised since 1941.

ROWING
Again We Fall
FTER losing the cricket, the
College turned its thoughts to
the Inter - Collegiate Rowing,
earnestly hopeful that at last we would
become holders of the Higgins Shield
for the first time. As on other occasions
we were unable to accomplish this goal
—not however, because of lack of enthusiasm or support from members of
the Club.
With the opening of the academic
year, a well attended and representative
meeting was held, and immediate steps
were taken to ensure an early start in
training for the race to be held on
April 24th. Mr. Culvenor was elected
Captain of Boats and the other two
positions on the committee were filled
by Messrs. Hughes and Scullion. Mr. R.
Daffy, who was associated with many
Newman and University crews in the
past, generously offered his services as
coach.
It was only natural that in the large
number of freshmen who came up this
year we should be favoured with some
rowers of experience. In the final seating of the crew there were four freshmen in the boat. There were eight freshmen in both crews, which is something
novel in Newman rowing.
After some time had been spent by
the coach in selecting the best eight
rowers and in arranging the seating so
as to ensure a well proportioned boat,
the crew consisted of : P. N. Meagher
(bow), C. C. Culvenor (2), E. J. Ryan
(3), A. J. Troup (4), L. J. Hughes (5),
F. J. Grant (6), J. F. Crameri (7), M.
G. Caine (str.), A. J. Vavjenezki (cox).
Despite the early good resolutions, the
usual host of annual mishaps connected
with Newman rowing appeared this year.
The big trouble was in obtaining assistance to repair the racing boat which
had beep invOved in an accident the
A
previous year. It was not until after the
Easter vacation that all outstanding
difficulties were overcome and regular
training. commenced.
The crew responded quickly to the
hard and long rows and by the final
week the coach had blended its members
into a good combination. Our hopes of
getting into the final greatly soared after
a row two days before the heats in
which all expectations were exceeded.
However, the fates decreed otherwise.
NEWMAN v. QUEEN'S.
Our heat was rowed in perfect conditions. There was little between the
crews at the Punt Road bridge. Between
the bridges, where so many races are
lost and won, Queen's, by increasing
their rating, managed to gain a length's
advantage although they were rowing
on the North station. Newman made a
brave effort to bridge the gap as they
went around the bend; however, over the
last half-mile Queen's, rowing in good
style, went away once more and won by
two and a half lengths. We offer our
our congratulations to Queen's, who, we
must admit, were a superior crew to
Newman and to their coach, Mr. G.
Duane. We also offer our congratulations to Ormond on again winning the
final.
Our seconds crew carried on under
very disheartening conditions this year.
The troubles of the first crew generally
affected the programme of the seconds
and the movement to purchase a semiracing boat at the first opportunity
should be a solution to much of this
trouble.
Mr. Gordon Hiscock was untiring in
his efforts to mould the seconds into a
good crew and carried on under conditions which would have been tolerated
by few others. Training hard at every

opportunity, the seconds were defeated
in their heat against Queen's by two
lengths. The second crew consisted of :
J. McFadyen (bow), J. Walsh (2), B.
O'Brien (3), J. Grant (4), J. McCarthy
(5), T. Crotty (6), T. Campbell-Burns
(7), L. Hennessy (str.), B. Feery (cox).
Over the last few years there has been
much more co-operation and enthusiasm
among the rowers than previously. Unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of the time we had for training.
Generally that was neither the fault of
the crew nor the coach. Time which
should have been spent on the river at
the commencement of the year was spent
repairing and procuring equipment.
47
A condition precedent to winning the
boat race is serious training throughout
the year—fortunately this fact is now
realised and such a programme is being
followed this year.
With a number of members rowing
throughout the year and some experienced rowers amongst next year's
freshmen, the prospects look much
brighter.
The College offers its sincere thanks to
Mr. Daffy and Mr. Hiscock for their
efforts this year.
In conclusion, the rowers would like to
thank the Matron for her great interest
in their welfare.

SWIMMING
Success on the Water
N spite of the mild weather, the baths
this year have been unusually popular, if not for the pleasure of cooling
off, then at least for the thrill of the
healthy and vigorous exercise.
There are those in College who find
the deep, clear pool an irresistible attraction, and on many a night, despite its
chill, these icebergs can be tempted in
for a 30-metre dash and the delight of
the steaming hot shower to follow.
This year the Annual University
Swimming Carnival brought forward
surprising talent in Newman, particularly from the ranks of freshmen. Along
with their individual efforts in University championships, College enthusiasts
entered teams that were to take three
of the first four places in an unofficial
medley relay.
F. Grant, Kiernan, and Scanlan recorded fast times in the 50-metres sprint,
while in long-distance events Prior
showed unusual ability by winning both
the 200 metres and 40o metres free style.
Brophy, Meagher, and Reid were dependable in the 5o metres backstroke,
and in the breaststroke Campbell-Burns,
G. Grant, and Fitzpatrick were well
placed. In Beech the College possessed
both a plain and fancy diver of exceptional merit, and a competent representative in the free-style relay.

ATHLETICS
We Bow to Ormond
ESUMPTION of the official competition for the Cato Shield saw
Newman go down to Ormond.
Over the past few years, these two
colleges have held athletic supremacy,
and we need feel no shame in placing
the shield in their keeping. Indeed the
defeat was far from ignominious. Not
for many years has a Newman team
been possessed of such enthusiasm nor
of such a keen Captain and Committee.
They were not disgraced, though their
efforts could easily have been more
generously rewarded. If their enthusiasm persists and their determination
becomes stronger in defeat, the shield
should soon again be housed within the
walls of Newman.
The traditional first event—the weight
putt—saw O'Neill set our hopes on
high. His best putt (34 ft. 9%2 ins.) was
inches clear of that of his nearest rival
—Williams, of Queen's. Our congratulations go to him on what was, alas,
Newman's only first place. Ormond
countered our win in the putt by filling
first and second places in the 880.
Barrett (0.) with his magnificent stride
won this event leisurely. Jenkins (N.)
struggled on hard to gain third place
about two yards behind Jamieson (O.).
Then the blows really began to fall
heavily. The sprint events, in which we
expected to gain an advantage were
dominated by Ormond and Queen's.
Seal, who has consistently won these
races over the last few years was defeated by Cone (0.) and Brown (Q.)
who gained first and second places respectively in both the too yds. and 220
yds. That Seal should have been vanquished on the occasion of his last appearance in Inter-Collegiate Athletics is
most unfitting. We feel however, that
our narrative would have been different
R
had he been allowed more time in which
to train. Yet we congratulate him on
his performances on this day, and in
bidding him farewell from the Olympian
fields, forever think of him as one of
the greatest athletes that has entered the
portals of this College and the University.
The head wind militated against good
times in the sprint events, but it did not
prevent Green, of Ormond, from establishing a new record in the hurdles.
Green's style is delightfully easy and he
was well above his competitors in
standard. Newman's first string, O'Brien,
secured fourth place in this event.
K. Flanagan, for his determined performances in the jumps, must be ranked
as our best athlete of the day. His
keen struggle in the high jump with
Meagher (T.), who narrowly defeated
him, stimulated much interest. In the
long jump, Flanagan again acquitted
himself well, but was unfortunate in
securing only second place.
Next followed that most gruelling of
all events—the mile. Jones, of Trinity,
took the lead early in the second lap, a
tactic which proved most successful, as
he won by a fairly easy margin. Bray,
who has taken the laurels for this event
in the past, gained a hard earned third
place, while McDonald, showing his well
known stamina gained fourth place.
The last event of the day, the 44o, resulted in a win for Dufty, of Queen's.
This was a splendid performance, since
just prior to this race he had also carried
off the long jump. Our Captain, Schlicht,
who lacked his usual strong finish,
secured fourth place, while Green (0.)
capped a magnificent display of athletic
prowess and stamina by gaining second
place.
So our congratulations go to Ormond
on this meritorious win, and the fine
FO OTBAL L.

achievements of their individual athletes.
Members of the team wish to express
their thanks to Messrs. Robert and
Adrian Wright, in appreciation of their
splendid efforts in coaching the team
this year. We are also indebted to the
49
Matron for catering for our bodily needs
on the day of the Sports.
A final word of gratitude is offered to
Mr. Phil Foster for his untiring efforts
to build up and preserve our physical
condition.

FOOTBALL
Well Earned Victory
EWMAN'S football traditions
were well maintained this year.
The committee proved to be
an enthusiastic and active one, and
the captain and vice-captain, Connell
and O'Brien, worked exceptionally
hard to ensure a high standard of
training. They were fortunate in
obtaining the services of Mr. Bill
Schmidt, the former Richmond player,
as coach, and coach and team worked
together in complete harmony from
the start.
The team was a happy blending of
youth and maturity. Several freshmen,
notably Reid, Lyons, Callanan and
Paskos, showed very promising form,
and should add strength to the team for
years to come. Despite the loss of Ford,
we proved fairly strong in the air,
where Flanagan and Corcoran did great
things, but our main strength lay in
the speed, accuracy and co-operation of
the men on the flanks.
NEWMAN v. TRINITY.
This was very noticeable in the first
match against Trinity, who relied on
the size and experience of their key
men. Newman was outmarked and
bustled out of the play in the key positions, so immediately transferred play
to the wings, with excellent results.
Callanan in a forward pocket snapped
three goals early, and this lead was
never taken from us, and was steadily
increased.
At half-time Newman led by 43
points (11-9 to 5-3), and a dazzling
effort in the third quarter added 10
goals to 1 point)
Interest died out of the match in the
last quarter, and it became a mere
question of how high the Newman
score would mount. Trinity's few
stalwart defenders were very tired, and
Newman literally ran away with the
N
play, the final scores being : Newman,
25-18 ; Trinity, 5-4.
A remarkable feature of the match
was that Trinity scored only one point
after half-time.
The Newman team was placed as
follows :—
Backs : Carew, Smith, Caine.
Half-backs : O'Neill, Connell, Reid.
Centres : Hurley, O'Brien, Mason.
Half-forwards :
Lyons,
Hughes,
O'Hanlon.
Forwards : Callanan, Nagle, Paskos.
Followers : Flanagan, K., Corcoran,
Fish.
Be-st Players: O'Hanlon, O'Brien,
Mason, Lyons, Callanan.
Goal-kickers: O'Hanlon (6), Paskos
(5), Nagle (5), Callanan (4), Flanagan
(2), Hughes, Fish, O'Brien.
NEWMAN v. QUEEN'S.
Smith was injured in the first match,
and unable to play in the final against
Queen's. Connell moved to full-back,
Flanagan to centre-half-back, and Hennessy joined Corcoran in the first ruck.
Queen's fielded a strong team, and it
was a pity that weather conditions
were more conducive to vigorous than to
brilliantly executed football. However,
our smaller men showed up splendidly,
and their long weeks of gruelling practice were of great value.
Queen's were first to score and
maintained an early lead, but Newman,
thanks to Corcoran and Hughes, were
a few points ahead at quarter time, and
again at half time.
The third quarter, during which
Queen's had the advantage of the wind,
was a desperate one for us. Reid and
Flanagan fought off countless attacks,

51
NEWMAN
and Connell at full back was in superb
form. His judgement and long driving
kicks did much to prevent Queen's from
establishing a lead. We entered the
final quarter a goal ahead.
The last quarter was a triumph.
Newman dominated the wings, Hurley
and Mason showing fine form, and
quickly drove forward. A splendid goal
by Lyons from the boundary line was
followed by others from Nagle and
Paskos and Corcoran. We had established a decisive lead, and though
Queen's fought hard, they could make
no headway, and had to remain on the
defensive for the rest of the game.
Final scores : Newman 11-13, Queen's
5-7.
Every man in the team played well,
but special mention must be made of
Connell, Reid, Flanagan, Hurley and
Corcoran, who excelled themselves.
As Frank Hurley is the only veteran
in the team who is due to graduate
this year, our prospects for 1947 appear
to be very good.
The following were chosen in a combined Inter-Collegiate team : Connell
(captain) ) O'Brien, Flanagan, Mason,
Nagle, Reid, Corcoran.

TENNIS
Title to Queen's
HE Inter-Collegiate Tennis this
year was dominated by Queen's.
In winning the title they put up
the remarkable performance of not
losing a single rubber. We extend our
congratulations to them on such a fine
win.
Newman met this strong team in the
first round. Our representatives played
better than the scores really indicate,
but Queen's were too consistent. Perhaps the highlight was the doubles in
the afternoon between the first pairs.
Though losing in straight sets, Brophy
and Corcoran put up a magnificent
fight in the second set, resulting in
some of the best play seen in InterCollegiate fixtures for years.
The innovation of securing the services of a coach, Mr. Sweetman, gave
us some valuable help. If this is continued next year, we should make a
better showing. The chief ingredient
of success however is far more interest
among prospective members of the
team, than prevailed this year.
T
Mr. Corcoran is to be congratulated
on the enthusiasm with which he
managed the preparation of the team
despite the imminence of his examinations.

Let us, with all good grace anal old-world courtesy in the world, remind you that "Taboo" is
not to be taken in the abstract. You must think of these "bons mots" as invested with "a
habitation and a name" as Shakespeare (was it Shakespeare?) once wrote, i.e., you must connect
"Taboo" up with personalities, viz., your dearly beloved friends and comrades, and then 10! you
will find that you'll split your sides laughing.
In any case, let us tell you that it's no use blaming the Editors (whom God preserve!). After
all, YOU did it!
And that, after all, mes vieux, is really the only apology and justification for "Taboo"—so

In one great figure finely blended.
No petty soul this man of steel,
But one for highest actions moulded ;
The power of his counsel all can feel ;
Erect he stands, arms proudly folded.
Electric silence grips the throng
As slowly he begins to speak.
No nobler visage, no mind so strong
Could e'er that vast assemblage seek.
With eyes upraised unto the skies
As if to rouse some distant star,
With foaming lips, bold he cries :
"Eight feet's too high for a parallel

1945 ACTIVITIES
T the Annual Dinner and General
Meeting, held at the Hotel
Australia on December 9th, 1944
—the following office-bearers were
elected :-
A
President: Dr. T. Daly.
Vice - Presidents: Mr. J. Galbally,
Flt./Lt. K. Stevenson, Dr. W.
O'Loughlin.
Committee: Dr. R. Gurry, Mr. A. McCormack, Dr. H. Sinn, Mr. W.
Bourke, Mr. F. Corder, Mr. F.
James.
Hon. Treasurer: Mr. J. A. Redmond.
Hon. Secretary: Mr. J. 0. Parker.
Guests of Honour at the Dinner
were the Rector of Newman College,
Very Rev. Fr. J. M. Murphy, S.J., and
the President of the Students' Club,
Dr. A. Jones. Members of the Services
present as guests of the Association
were Major P. Kennedy, Capt. T. McMahon, Flt./Lt. K. Stevenson, and
Sqdn./Ldr. D. Dowling.
During the year, a list of all Old
Boys known to have been in the Services was compiled. Every effort has
been made to make this list complete,
and accurate in regard to rank and
the branch of service. To those cases,
where inaccuracies have occurred, our
apologies are tendered ; consequently an
appeal is made to all readers who can
assist in rectifying omissions and
errors.
Splendid progress has been made in
the establishment of an index card
system. This shows the name and
present address of each Old Boy, as
well as his years in residence, degrees
gained and notes of interest. Again we
appeal far notes from readers who are
asked to supply these details in regard
to themselves and to other members,
since in many cases we have no record
of Old Boys since they left Newinan.
The General Committee of the College
is to be sincerely thanked for their prodigious efforts and assistance in the
compilation of this list.
Mention should here be made of the
Association's gratitude to those Old
Boys who kindly responded to the
appeal of this year's Editor of Newman.
It was very pleasing to note their
expressed concern for the continuance
of the high standard of the Magazine,
and their generous and spontaneous
donations were deeply appreciated.
During the year, at the request of
the Association, the Students' Club
agreed to the permanent establishment
of the official post of a Liaison Officer.
The duties of this officer (perferably
but not necessarily a member of the
General Committee) are to keep in constand communication with the Secretary of the Old Boys' Association, to
advise him of all University and College
activities of interest, especially the
dates and details of all social and sporting functions, and in general to enable
the Association to play a more active
part in University and College life.
This scheme has already worked
well, and is an important development
of great promise. Mr. John Connell,
who was appointed by the General
Committee to this post for 1945, proved
to be of great assistance.
A special appeal has just been made
to all Old Boys to increase the total of
the Association's Scholarship Fund.
NEWMAN
The response was generally satisfactory, and the present total is over
£400, which should be increased by a
number of subscriptions expected
shortly. A Scholarship cannot be
granted until the principal of the Fund
reaches £1000.
The Association again has to thank
the Rector for his kind invitations to
office-bearers to attend College functions. In particular he is to be thanked
for his invitation to all attending the
Annual Requiem Mass, to breakfast at
Newman. It should be mentioned that,
despite the difficulties brought about
by the "invasion" of the College by
R.A.A.F. personnel and by the dining
hall staff shortage, the Rector did not
59
permit this feature of the function to
cease during the war years. For this
the Association wishes to express its
sincere appreciation and gratitude.
In conclusion, it is with pleasure that
we report that everything points to a
strong revival of activity within the
Association. It has been our endeavour
in the war years to keep this body in
existence, and to maintain contact with
all its members. We consider that we
have achieved this object, and with
pleasure we now anticipate the rapid
restoration of our pre-war state.
Having achieved this goal, we intend
to forge ahead and attain new
standards.
J.O.P.,
Hon. Sec. N.C.O.B.A.
OLD BOYS
HIS year we have attempted to make these notes as comprehensive as possible.
However, due to the limitations on our sources of news, we have been
compelled to omit several names. In order that these notes may be more
complete in the future, we appeal to all Old Newmanians to submit news about
themselves and their friends. No doubt, inaccuracies have occurred in this list,
and we would be very grateful to receive corrections and further details in this
regard.
The Editor is indebted to the following for their kind assistance in the
2ompilation of these notes:
Very Rev. Fr. Rector, Mr. J. Parker, Dr. J. H. Smith, Dr. Maurice Barrett,
