L uceat Lux Vestra
HE College this year has rejoiced in congratulating the Very Reverend J. M.
Murphy„ s.j., M.A., on completing on April 10 his twenty-fifth year as
Rector. On April 12, formal and informal demonstrations of our gratitude
and loyalty and affection were given to Father Murphy by the College assembled
in Hall to entertain him at dinner. St. Mary's Hall, likewise, and the Old Boys
have already offered their congratulations.
']'
It seems fitting, however, that the Club Magazine for this year should not
merely report these events. In paying our tribute to the Rector, an attempt has
been made to have set on record, at least in spirit and in outline, the story of his
twenty-five years' rule. It is very ,nearly the story of the full life of Newman.
We wish to thank His Grace the Archbishop, the Vice-Chancellor, and the three.
former Presidents of the Students' Club who have graciously consented to say for
us those things which we wished to say, but in saying which we should have
presumed too much.
We trust that any uneasiness which these pages may cause Father Murphy
will be overshadowed by the tribute of our pride and joy. It is our sincere wish,
as it must be that of every true Newman man, that his light may long continue to
shine in Newman.
FROM THE MOST REVEREND D. MANN IX, D.D., LL.D.
Archbishop of Melbourne
Chairman of the Council
I
T seems only yesterday that the youthful Father Murphy took charge of
Newman College. I learn with a shock that it is twenty-five years ago.
He has grown enormously in academic weight and stature in the
meantime. He has grown up; but not grown old; and that is a great
advantage in his dealing with young people.
I am deeply grateful to the Jesuit Fathers for two things: first, for
having made Father Murphy's services available; and secondly, for leaving
him in undisturbed enjoyment of a position for which he is so well fitted
by experience and natural endowment.
The Newman College Chapel will always be a monument to Father
Murphy's unerring judgment and good taste. But he has another memorial
of even greater worth in that body of university graduates moulded to
his high ideals and fashioned under his genial, sympathetic handling.
May the Jubilarian's wit and wisdom, his old world culture and balanced
judgment long continue to rule and reign at Newman.
From SIR JOHN MEDLEY,
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne.
NE of the first letters of congratulation which I received after my appointment as Vice-Chancellor ten years ago came from the Rector of Newman.
In it he wrote that I could always rely upon the availability to me of "such
poor help as the Head of a College can supply to a Vice-Chancellor." I was very
pleased to get the letter but, being almost entirely ignorant of the University
of Melbourne and everything concerned with it, I did not regard it as much
more than the kind of conventional expression with which one is inundated
under such circumstances. I was soon to learn how mistaken I was. The Rector was a member of the University Council at the time, which brought me into
contact with him more frequently than would otherwise have been the case,
and I very soon began to realise that here was a man whose wisdom and experience of things in general, and the University in particular, I should do well to
cultivate. I soon acquired the habit of seeking his opinion on all manner of
subjects—a habit which I have never abandoned—and I shall always be profoundly grateful to him both for the counsel which he gave me on many occasions during the difficult months of my early apprenticeship and for his invariable help and kindness to me ever since. I have not always taken his advice,
but I have always benefited by it. His special interests in the University have
been connected with the Conservatorium—he is now Chairman of the Conservatorium Finance Committee—and the Press, the chairmanship of which he only
recently resigned. In addition to these he has constantly served on Standing
Committees of Council, and has been unwearying in well-doing as far as the
general interests of the University are concerned.
It is a pleasure to serve on
a Committee with him. As Chairman he possesses in perfection that essential
bit of technique which consists in knowing how to dissolve tensions by making
a joke at the right moment. As member he is always helpful and constructive,
and (nearly always) amenable to discipline from the Chair. We have had many
mild arguments in committee on many points, and they have always ended with
a heightened appreciation on my part of the invaluable qualities which he
brings to the discussion of any question. His 25 years of Rectorship have seen
many changes and developments within the University. He has played a part
in many of them, and no historian of those years will be able to underestimate
it. The relationship between the University and the Colleges in Melbourne
is a remarkable thing, which holds in it elements of immense value to both
sides. The Rector has most conspicuously contributed to the right development of this relationship, and I am grateful to the editor of the magazine for
giving me this opportunity of paying a most sincere tribute to the work and
the worth of a man whom I hold in the highest regard and affection. May he
and Newman continue to flourish!

From HIS HONOUR JUDGE MULVANY,
President, N.C.S.C., 1925, 1926.
HAVE been asked in this Jubilee Year of Father Murphy's Rectorship, to
write, in the mercifully short space allotted to me, of my association with
him, and in particular of the relations between himself and the Club during
the years I was a student.
I
When he came to the College in 1923 I had just cast off the odious character of a freshman and was luxuriating in the mature magnificence of a second
year student. The student body at that time contained many men who were
ever ready and indeed anxious to engage in any battle with authority. I regret to say that some were guilty of conduct which could not then, and I am
sure would not now, be tolerated in any University College.
Accordingly, the Rector had a formidable task in endeavouring to bring
about a proper balance between the authority with which he was vested and the
licence which a small section of the men desired. For a few years a struggle
which at times was bitter and was always difficult was waged; but I surmise,
as rumour at the time had it, that by the exercise of a judicious choice as to
who at the beginning of a new year would find a place in the College, the
forces of darkness ultimately were routed. Thus ended a most painful period
of conflict throughout which trying time the Rector displayed, in my judgment, courage, determination, and exemplary patience. He laid then the foundation for the true relationship between the rectorial authority and the students
which continued throughout my time.
But there remained the task of defining the proper spheres of each. To
the students it appeared necessary and desirable, subject to the acknowledged
superior authority of the Rector, that they should have full and in some matters exclusive, control of their own affairs. The problem was, as in all ordered
communities, to decide where the line defining powers was to be drawn. It
fell to my lot as President of the Club for two years to assert on behalf of the
students their rights as I saw them, against what I at times believed to be an
unduly generous view by the Rector of his paternal powers and authority. Constitutional crises occurred quite frequently and at times feeling ran high about
issues which in retrospect appear very small, although at the time they seemed
large and vital. But each question was settled by amicable discussion, in which
views on each side were stated frankly and sometimes forcefully, and a reasonable solution was usually found after negotiations conducted in accordance
with the best diplomatic canons.
I can say looking back over all the years that now intervene, that the Rector in his handling of issues which might otherwise have produced serious
and perhaps permanent trouble, displayed wisdom, patience, diplomacy, and
generosity. I think I can add that to such qualities the students in their turn
responded. The best tribute to him that I know is that the men with whom
these now dead controversies were conducted are still, after the lapse of twenty
years, his firm friends.
JOSEPH F. MULVANY.

From C. G. HEFFEY,
ESQ., M.A., LL.B.,
President, N.C.S.C., 1932, 1933.
BUILDING full of students does not make a University College. I see
it as a work of art, for wherever it exists in full flavour it is invariably
the product of some outstanding personality. Father Murphy has been
the artist of Newman.
A
This view of Newman's story makes it difficult for me to fulfil the Editor's
requirements. The history of a work of art only begins when it is finished.
There are no events while it is in the process of being formed, only the gradual,
painstaking, loving moulding of the material by the artist. So was it with
Newman in my time. The artist was at work making a University College. I
was too close to the canvas then to realise what was going on, but I see it clearly
in retrospect. There was some suggestion in the whisperings handed down
that the Rector had had to struggle to establish himself as the artist, but at least
from 1928 onwards he was free to devote all his time to the transforming of his
material.
Of importance, perhaps, was the adoption by the Club of the College
colours for all purposes. It was not a revolution in 1932, but merely a formal
recognition of the fact that for some time there had been only one loyalty at
Newman, and that to the College—through the Club. This loyalty is indispensible, and is of the spirit. It is part of the Rector's achievement to have fostered
it.
There was genius in the persuasiveness, the flexibility and the restraint with
which the Rector gained the acceptance of his ideals. The circumstances were
made for impatience. He had come from Oxford with high standards, he was
given a great task to nurse a new College into life, and he really was the only
one in the place who knew what a University College should be. The things
which look ridiculous to us now must have seemed ridiculous to him then. But
he never treated the men as children; he did everything to foster in them the
desire for responsibility and the faculty of making decisions. His was a longrange policy of permeation, a gradual and at the same time genial moulding of
his material. I say that only a true artist with a true appreciation of the value
of his work could have been so patient and tolerant and generous, in that his
material was hardly suitable for his standards. Nearly all his students during
the first twenty years came from homes where there had been no university
experience. The Rector never lowered his standards; he set about changing
the material. Because of his methods, Newman has grown up quickly. He
has already great cause for content for, under his hand, he has seen the life of
Newman become richer, its activities more varied and its Catholicism deeper
and more vibrant.
May I, on behalf of my contemporaries, express to the Rector our congratulations and our gratitude.
GERARD HEFFEY.

President, N.C.S.C., 1942.
I
OMNIA" or some phrase like it came into my mind when
iio MNIBUS
learnt, early in 1942, that the Rector would not only be guiding our
destinies, but acting as host to the members of an R.A.A.F. Administrative School. My thoughts went back to the quiet, uncomplicated days of
the early 'thirties. The General Committee and the Rector were then agitated,
sometimes bitterly, by problems about the choice and service of breakfast foods,
the closing hour of dances and the offensive and defensive use of orange peels.
Those were the problems on the ministerial plane, at times stirring passions to
rebellion, but despatched with efficiency and charm leaving the Committee
wondering at the genius which had bewitched them. At times, deeper, more
personal problems of discipline, perhaps touching on tragedy, revealed to the
Committee the priest prepared always for any sacrifice for the welfare of his
individual students and his vision of an ideal.
Now, I thought, the Rector is about to face his most difficult phase of
government, involving foreign as well as domestic issues, likely to be intermingled in such a fashion as to try even him. It is sufficient to say that the
situation offered several complicated problems. Had there been more flame
and smoke it would have been obvious to all that the Rector "was in there doing
something," but the bystander could only see that affairs went on quite smoothly.
As one of his confidants, I could see with what energy and sacrifice he devoted
himself to his task, and also what a price he was paying in constant thought and
toil. As an aside, one may wonder how much he enjoyed his punishment.
My years in College from 1930-5 had given me a certain impression of the
average Newman man—he was casual, of course, on his mettle in sporting matters,
ready to be amused rather than stimulated to thought, inclined to shock rather
than to inspire, prepared, superficially, to scoff rather than to emulate. Viewing
the Newman man ten years later, I have inclined to the belief that these qualities
were completely superficial. "Tempora mutantur"—of course, but the complete
reversal of the picture was too much to attribute entirely to war. The ideal
Newman man, as I saw him, was in Newman during the war years, but he was
merely the Newman man of the 'thirties who had stopped fooling. He had
always been there if one had scratched the surface. It took me fifteen years to
learn that—the Rector always knew it.
The first hint of the student response was given in an informal meeting in
first term. The issues were discussed in an atmosphere of seriousness not usually
present at our meetings. Men formerly prone to rejoice in denunciation displayed their real feelings; they felt they were one with the Rector. The record
of the following years really bound them together in a manner never before
I knew that the Rector was aware of this, and that he accepted the
apparent.
union with gratitude as the most valued prize of his twenty-five years' stewardship. F. A. R. MISELL.

FATHER KELLY.
We welcome to Newman Rev. Bryan
Buxton, S.J., B.A., who, though set such
high standards by his predecessor, is proving by his support of the College, in all
her activities, and by his ability as a tutor
and lecturer in Scholastic Philosophy, no
unworthy successor.
When, at the beginning of the academic
year, we returned to College, we were very
sorry to find that Rev. Dominic Kelly, S.J.,
M.A., had gone to Canisius College,
Pymble, N.S.W. We would all have preferred that declining years and weakened
hearing had spared for us a man of such
deep scholarship, of such vital interest in
Newman. We miss the familiar figure on
his bicycle, who had barracked for every
Newman team in every inter-collegiate
sport, throughout the entire twenty-nine
seasons of our sporting history.
JUBILEE.
The tenth of April this year was the
twenty-fifth anniversary of Father Murphy's
undertaking the rectorial duties. On the
morning of the twelfth he offered Mass in
the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, in the presence of the Dean, Rev. B. Buxton, S.J.,
the Mother Superior and the Sisters of St.
Mary's Hall.
Father Kelly came to Newman at the
beginning of 1919 with a brilliant record
as a scholar, which he maintained as a
College tutor in Classics, French and German. He was a graduate of the Royal
University of Ireland, having won first
class honours with a studentship in Classics. He later studied in Holland, Belgium and Germany, and was for some time
Classical Master at Clongowes College, Ireland, and later at Xavier. He was not the
man to limit his talents; Science also
claimed him. The 1935 edition of "Newman" contains two contributions by him:
a botanical treatise on the gardens of Newman, and a mathematical analysis of the
possibilities in poker. Before he came
from Ireland, "Dom," as he was affectionately known, was interested in aerial
photography. He always cut his own
pipes. A musician, he was director of, and
keenly interested in, the Chapel choir. For
recreation, he turned to chess, billiards and
detective stories. Yet all this did not prevent our recognising a priest of profound
holiness with a high reputation as a confessor.
All the resident students of Newman,
including the ladies of St. Mary's Hall,
were present. The Mass was served by the
President of the Students' Club, and the
senior student, Mr. John Corcoran. During the Mass hymns were sung by the
Chapel choir and the choir of St. Mary's
Hall.
That night saw great festivities in College when the Club entertained the Rector
at dinner. The senior student rose to propose the toast of congratulation on behalf
of the Club. Father Murphy, said Mr.
Corcoran, had come to Newman, a Jesuit
scholar of rare repute, to preside over a
University College filled with exuberant,
and at times boisterous, young men. To
have presided for so long with such vigour, such understanding and such unrelenting enthusiasm was no mean achievement. During his twenty-five years of
moulding this Newman of which we are
so proud, the Club's relations with him
could never have been termed dull. The
unexpected was always likely to happen.
There may have been difficulties, but when
the honour of the College was at stake, the
Rector had always been at our side. He
had been at our side, too, in times of finan-
As priest, scholar and man of Newman,
his place will be hard to fill. We are sure
that a man of his sanctity, humour and
varied interests will be happy in what, we
pray, will be many years of peace in retirement.

cial need. In our personal affairs no less,
he had always been ready to give ear to
our troubles and to lend invaluable advice. In short, so much had Father Murphy done for Newman and so high was
his ideal for the College that the greatest
tribute that we could pay to him, concluded Mr. Corcoran, was to resolve to
live up to that ideal—if we succeeded we
should be distinguished Catholic gentlemen.
Reverend Albert Power, S.J., M.A.,
Father Murphy's predecessor, had come
from his sick bed to offer his congratulations. He heartily endorsed Mr. Corcoran's remarks, and said how greatly honoured he was to be present on such an
occasion.
It was left to the President to present
the Rector with a more material tribute
—a tea service.
Then Fr. Murphy himself rose. He
showed how deeply touched he was by
these expressions of appreciation. In a
characteristically witty speech he said that
he had always taken what he considered
to be the fairest and most long-sighted
view. He vehemently urged that Newman
adopt no isolationist policy, but must be
in the forefront of University life, for
"Newman College as such is the ultimate
in Victorian education in that it provides
the stamp of culture and learning, combined with the strongest influences for the
perpetuation and strengthening of our
Catholic faith."
The pervading note of pleasant informality was typified by a student rising to
his feet and calling for three cheers for the
Rector. The dinner ended most appropriately with the dome echoing to "Men
of Newman."
ENGAGEMENTS.
Congratulations are extended to the following men, who announced their engagements during the year:—
Dick O'Hanlon with Miss Joanne Jackson.
Kevin Coleman with Miss Moira Shelton.

CENTENARY
We felt very proud indeed on hearing
the College mentioned in the cable of congratulation sent to the Archbishop by His
Holiness on the occasion of the centenary
of the diocese of Melbourne. During the
celebrations we were without the Rector,
who, in residence at "Raheen," was acting
as secretary to His Eminence Cardinal
Spellman. Father Murphy, ho we v e r,
brought His Eminence, accompanied by
His Grace the Archbishop, on an informal
visit to the College. The Cardinal met
some of the men in the lounge; he expressed admiration for the buildings, and
especially for the Chapel. "Very fine
campus," he was heard to remark. On another occasion Monsignor Fulton Sheen,
also accompanied by the Rector, visited
Newman. This famous preacher was the
cause of many of us being seen grouped
around the radio at odd hours, and of the
College being deserted on Men's Night.
ADDITIONS TO THE LIBRARY.
ALBERT POWER DEBATING
SOCIETY.
During the year, thanks to the generosity of the Rector, several valuable additions were made to the College Library:
the complete set (to date) of the All England Law Reports, Halsbury's "Laws of
England" (37 vols.) and the Encyclopaedia
of the Laws of England (14 vols.). Also,
the late Dr. Herbert Moran has left to
the College his valuable medical library,
which includes many rare historical works.
The society tried to rouse itself from the
lethargy that has been its mark for the past
few years. But owing to the apathy of
College men, both in unwillingness to debate and in a pitiful lack of support to
the College in inter-collegiate debates,
there was not much that could be done.
However, more than twice as many
debates were held in 1948 as in 1947.
College debates included the freshmen's
debate, and in second term, Messrs. O'Connor, O'Sullivan and Christie successfully
supported censorship against Messrs. Moorhead, Hogan and Fogarty. Adjudicators
were Messrs. M. J. Charlesworth and P. J.
Mortensen, respectively.
In the realm of inter-collegiate contests
a strong Newman team, comprising Messrs.
Coleman, Kearney and McArdle, defeated
a team, of the William Quick Society at
Queen's on the subject of the purpose of a
University. The same team at Trinity
were unsuccessful in denying that the principle of censorship be abandoned. The
NEWMAN IN THE UNIVERSITY.
At his Jubilee Dinner, Father Murphy
encouraged Newman to be in the forefront of University life, for only thus can
she be a living force in the University. He
himself has set a good example by being
so prominent in affairs on the other side
of Tin Alley. The Newman men of this
year have heeded his words.
Anthony Cosgrave was Men's General
Representative on the S.R.C. and Kevin
Coleman the Law Representative. John
Kearney was a Vice-President of the Law
[9]
committee for the year comprised Messrs.
K. F. Coleman, president; F. G. Moorhead,
secretary; and M. N. O'Sullivan.
The Rector made the following awards:
The Rector's Medal: Mr. K. F. Coleman.
Improvement Prize: Mr. F. McArdle.
Freshman's Prize: Mr. J. Kearney.
THE CHAPEL CHOIR
During the year the choir studied 0 Filii
et Filiae, Adoro Te Devote, and a Benediction Service in plain chant; 0 Salutaris
Hostia (Rev. S. Gates, 0.P.); Tantum Ergo
Sacramen turn, and Adoremus in Aeternum
(Dom Gregory Murray, O.S.B., F.R.C.O.).
The choir sang together with the choir
of St. Mary's Hall during the Jubilee Mass,
alternately with the Hall choir during the
weekly public Benedictions; and during
the College Benedictions after dinner on
first Fridays.
The organist at the public Benedictions
was a non-resident student, Mr. B. Fitzgerald, and at College Benedictions, Mr.
M. G. Caine. The choir was directed by
Mr. F. M. Greene.
THE NEWMAN COLLEGE DRAMATIC
SOCIETY
The most notable event in Newman
Dramatics for the year was "Traitor's Gate"
—reported elsewhere. From the more
fundamental aspect of establishing the
Dramatic Society on a permanent basis, the
most important step was its affiliation with
the Students' Club. Though there can
be no financial union, this affiliation will
ensure that the Society will be closely allied
with the Club and that the Club will be in
a position to exercise some supervision
over it. Most of the credit for this achievement must go to Peter Wister. With its
position in the College thus clarified and
defined, and with two successful plays, the
[ 10
Dramatic Society can look forward to a
promising future.
The College is grateful to Mr. Norman
Wister for consenting to produce "Traitor's
Gate", and for the extraordinary amount
of time and the painstaking care which he
put not only into rehearsals but also into
the make-up and the construction of sets.
This year's play took up so much of our
time that very few playreadings could be
held. J. M. Barrie's "The Old Lady
Shows Her Medals", and Oscar Wilde's
"The Importance of Being Earnest" were
the plays chosen.
The committee for the year comprised
Messrs. F. William Shea, president; and
Peter Wister, secretary; Misses Brenda
Moore, treasurer; Maureen Christie and
Sheila Burke, the latter being the nonresident member.
SOCIAL EVENTS
The Newman College Ball was again
held at College in second term, thanks to
the kindness of Father Rector. Unfortunately, he himself was prevented by illness from attending, and guests were received by the Dean. The Matron, Mrs.
C. Staples, was also unable to be present.
Reports of last year's ball apparently
added to the attraction of this year's function, as there were very few resident
students absent, and many Old Boys and
non-resident students were entertained by
Newman men. The ball was characteristic
of all Newman social activities, and was by
far the most popular event of the year.
The Club thanks the secretaries, Messrs.
J. W. Walsh, T. P. Banting, A. M. Dillon,
R. B. Christie and M. N. O'Sullivan.
Not quite so elaborate, but just as enjoyable, were the two Common Room Dances
—one in first term, organised by Messrs.
J. F. Niall and R. C. Lee, and the other in
third term, by Messrs. J. A. Lyons and T.
A. Prior.
GOLF DAY
THE MAGAZINE
After great difficulties of organisation,
the annual Golf Day was held at the Patterson River course on Monday, September
6. There were no old boys present, owing
to lateness of final arrangements and disapproval of the course; so there was a
second golf day late in October for their
benefit.
At Patterson River, in a ninety-mile-anhour gale, Terence Meade won the College
18-hole championship with a score of 99.
The nine-hole handicap was won by Bernard Shillito, 52 (131), 381. In the afternoon, the four-ball best-ball against bogey
(18 holes) was won by Bernard Shillito
and Kevin Coleman, 5 up. Good rounds
of 94 were recorded by Chris Jenkins, Frank
Nagle and Terence Meade.
The few who braved the elements had a
very good time; and the Club thanks Kevin
Coleman for arranging the course.
The Editor is indebted to the Dean for
his advice and assistance in the preparation
of this year's magazine.
Costs of production have once more
limited our contents, and two matters call
for comment. The absence of general
articles is due neither to changed policy
nor to lack of contributors, and it is hoped
that increased financial stability will permit "Newman, 1949," to continue a proud
tradition.
We have attempted this year to make
the Old Boys' columns more complete, but
information of interest is rarely available.
We appeal to all Old Boys to send in to
the Editor notes about themselves and
their friends. Our finances, also, are becoming increasingly dependent on their
co-operation.
The Editor wishes to thank Dr. Eric
Seal for his graceful sonnet, which appears
on page 15, and all members of the Club
who have contributed to various sections.
The photograph of the Rector is by
Athol Shmith; that of the President by
Peter Fox; those of the College groups by
Sear's Studios.
To all members of the magazine committee, and to the Advocate Press, the Editor
offers his sincere thanks for their unfailing
co-operation.
The Students' Club acknowledges receipt
of the following exchanges for 1947:
"John's" (St. John's College, University of
Sydney); "Eikon" (University Women's
College); St. Francis Xavier's, Calcutta;
"The Xaverian"; "The Patrician" (St. Patrick's College, East Melbourne); "Blue and
Gold" (De La Salle College).
DINNERS
The Rector farewelled the final year
men at the traditional Valete Dinner, held
in October.
The Students' Club decided to hold a
Sports Dinner about the same time.
INTERCOLLEGIATE BILLIARDS
An intercollegiate billiards tournament
was held this year. Despite the time, interest and cue-tips Newman spends on the
game, we failed to win a match; our team,
consisting of Messrs. Frank Nagle and
Brian Feery, going down in glorious defeat
at the hands of both Ormond and Queen's.
The Students' Club thanks the Rector,
in particular, for his generosity to the
Dramatic Society, and for his promise to
assist the Club in the production of the
Annual Magazine.

"crrditor*s Cate
N June of this year the Newman College
Dramatic Society gave two performances
in the Union Theatre of Morna Stuart's
"Traitor's Gate"—a play concerning the
last years of Thomas More.
The Dramatic Society has risen to
heights far out of proportion to its age,
which, for this year's production, is both a
congratulation and a criticism. A congratulation, for with laudable ambitiousness and much success it attempted a play
beset with countless difficulties, rendered
even greater for a cast chiefly inexperienced. A criticism, because, in attempting such a play, the enjoyment they gave
us was not so great as I know they could
have given.
In its early days the Dramatic Society
was viewed by most College men with a
natural scepticism. That scepticism has
been replaced by a feeling of admiration
for the enthusiasm of its organisers and
members and for their ability—at times
surprising. The Society is a new facet of
College life, as yet perhaps not completely
defined nor truly polished. Its members
should always remember that it is not just
a dramatic society, but that it is the Newman College D.S. They have, therefore,
added responsibility: they must strive to
achieve in the field of drama standards
comparable to those achieved by Newman
in other fields.
The Society's Constitution allows its
casts to include enrolled non-resident
students of the College—a state of affairs
so far unparalleled—and a word of warning would not be amiss. There is a danger that it may lose intimate contact with
the Students' Club, and such a tragedy can
be averted only by. College men devoting
as much interest to their new undertaking
as they do to those already long-standing.
This year the play was "Newman" to
the core. The scenery was made in the
lower billiard-room, mostly by members of
the cast; the costumes were of their own
"
choosing, and the majority of rehearsals
were held in College. The posters and
programme cover were the work of a freshman, Desmond Belbin. Thomas More
was played by Ian MacDonald, Thomas
Cromwell by Brian Brophy, Lord Norfolk
by John Corcoran. Miss Joy Youlden
kindly consented, in an emergency, to
take the important part of Peg Clement.
Margaret Roper was played by Miss Elaine
Copley, and Dame Alice More by Miss
Maureen Christie. The play was produced by Norman Wister. Most of the
arrangements were made by Peter Wister.
Minor roles were taken by Peter Ryan,
Peter Wister, Gareth Moorhead, Dan.
O'Connor, Des. Belbin, Don. Quinlivan,
Peter Penn and David Fogarty.
I find it hard to understand how
"Traitor's Gate" could have interested
playgoers in London and New York for
as long as it did. It is drawn-out, and
in places the dialogue is very hard to follow.
Its emotionalism is excessive, and,
worse still, is of a religious nature.
It is
extraordinarily difficult on the stage to
treat tastefully any expressions of piety, a
recitation of the Anima Christi or worship
of the Cross.
I
The soul of poor Thomas More is laid
naked before us — with questionable
accuracy. We see nothing of his intellectual brilliance and but little of the humour
which never left him. His very natural
fear of pain is most unduly emphasised.
The characterisation of More, therefore,
had a false ring to it
Some lines of T. S. Eliot's seem much in
point as a criticism of the play in general:
"A speech in a play should never appear
to move us as it might conceivably move
other characters in the play, for it is essential that we should preserve the position
of spectators, and observe always from the
outside though with complete understanding."
—P. J. M.

Scholastic Philosophy Course
HE year 1947 witnessed the beginning of an adventure in education
at the College which may well prove
to be a landmark in its history. For many
years the authorities at Newman had been
aware of the need of a course of lectures
in certain subjects that would provide
Catholics at the University with a broader
and more balanced education than could
be secured even by the most conscientious
student of subjects in the University curriculum.
The various teaching Orders have rendered a magnificent service in providing
the structure of the primary and secondary
education of which Catholics in Victoria
are justly proud. For the young Catholic
who passes beyond the secondary stage and
undertakes a University course there is
the Catholic college, whose aim is to provide a Catholic background for the highest studies. But even here there was felt
the need of something more than the tutorials which had so far been provided in
subjects belonging to various University
courses. The Catholic student, like any
other, had devoted the whole of his time
to developing and advancing his knowledge of the cultural and technical subjects of his faculty, giving no time, or very
little time, to the wider and equally necessary study of the fundamental truths of
human life and of the Faith which distinguishes him as a Catholic student. In
other words, he was left to develop his own
philosophy of life and his adult Catholicity
on the necessarily limited instructions received in Religious Knowledge classes at
school. To meet the need caused by these
conditions, occasional lectures on philosophical subjects had, in the past, been
arranged by the Newman Society and provided by the College tutor in Philosophy.
Late in 1946, however, the College authorities decided to begin in March of the following year a complete course in Scholastic Philosophy to be held at Newman College.
The course is planned for the stud- of
six major subjects over three years. Two
T
[ 14 ]
one-hour lectures are given each week during the first and second University terms.
For the convenience of those unable to
attend the lectures in the day-time lectures
are repeated each week in the evening.
Examinations are held in March of the
following year.
Scholastic Philosophy is the name given
to a systematic study of the wide variety
of subjects that have always interested the
philosopher, ranging from the consideration of the position of universal scepticism
to the sublimest truths about Almighty
God. It is called "scholastic" because the
body of rationally deduced truths with
which it deals is a legacy from the synthesis made in the great schools of the
middle ages.
In the first year the two subjects are
Logic (the science of correct thinking, the
validity of knowledge, etc.) and Metaphysics (or Ontology, the study of being,
substance, causality, etc.). In the second
year Psychology (sense knowledge, emotions, intelligence, the soul, free will, spirituality and immortality of the soul) and
Ethics (the science of good conduct, morals,
the natural law) are studied; and in the
final year Cosmology (the world: the physical properties of things, Time, Space, etc.)
and Natural Theology (the existence of
God, His attributes, etc.). All these subjects are studied by pure reason, and no
appeal is made to Faith or Revelation in
the proofs offered.
Shortly before the commencement of
this course a new Institute for higher
studies had been established in the city
under the patronage of His Grace the
Archbishop. It is known as the Newman
Institute. By an agreement with those
resporisible for this venture the School of
Philosophy established at the College has
been included as one of the departments of
the Institute, and with it now constitutes
the nucleus of a wider plan for the extension of higher Catholic education. One
result of this association is that the lectures at the College are attended by large
numbers of the Catholic laity who are not
students of the University.
In the first year, 1947, about seventy attended the lectures in Logic and Metaphysics; this year the same number are
taking Psychology and Ethics. It is interesting to note that some non-Catholics are
also enrolled in these classes.
We are only at the beginning, but al-
ready there are signs that this new course
provided at Newman will not only supply
the answer to a long-felt want at the University itself, but will also advance the
cause of Catholic education at the University standard.
—J. P. Gleeson, S.J., B.A., Dean of the
College and Lecturer in Scholastic Philosophy.
THE VISITATION
She plucked a solitary wayside flower,
Which, throughout all the winter's barren
gloom,
Had hoarded, deep within earth's frozen
womb,
Its patient strength, till from her skiey
tower
Spring reawakened, leapt at last to dower
With quickened life each seed, unbarred
its tomb
And wooed with soft caress the fragile
bloom
—Pervading all the air with subtle power.
Blessed flower, thou hadst that happy day
no art
To cheer the lonely traveller on her way,
Yet could thy silent hymn of gladness
bring
Tidings of purest joy to her whose heart
Bore such a precious load, who, day by
day
Drew nearer to her own tremendous Spring.

Valete
T. B. SHILLITO (1941, 46-8). Our
genial and popular President for 1948. His
success in office was only to be expected
from the rich and varied talents we saw
in private. T.B.S. was, to use his own
inimitable Air Force lingo, a "clue-man,"
achieving much as the Club's diplomat-inchief and Business Manager of the Magazine. An ardent supporter of the College
in all her undertakings, he showed the
same enthusiasm in his lesser loyalties—
which included Geelong and the E. Malvern Hockey Club. He was an omnivorous
reader, from whodunits to High Court
judgments, an authority on Affairs of State,
angling and games of chance. An unsentimental bloke with a quizzical smile, he
mixed farce and subtle wit to the delight
of all his friends; yet the infectious bonhomie, the genius for conviviality, did not
conceal from us the solid integrity of his
character.
B. J. BROPHY (1945-8). A man of unfailing good nature and honesty of purpose. He combined with his studies a
variety of activities: was elected to the
S.R.C. in '46, active in N.S.V., and did
much for inter-collegiate tennis (he is secretary of the 'Varsity T.C.). He capped
his College career with a capable performance as Cromwell in "Traitor's Gate."
K. F. COLEMAN (1947-8). A man of
infinite jest and a first-class legal brain.
Generous of nature, he became a legend
during his brief career in College as a tremendous orator and an incomparable raconteur. Ski-ing, the S.R.C., Law Students' Society, Revue ("Cackle and Corn")
were some of his interests. He brought
honour to Newman in Athletics and was
'Varsity Sprint Champion this year. One
of our most colourful personalities for
some time—a delight to the Editor of
"Taboo."
[ 20 ]
J. M. J. CORCORAN (1943-8). Rose
to the position of Elder Statesman amongst
us. Urbane and witty, generous and effervescent, there was never a dull moment
in John's company. He enjoyed life immensely and helped others to do the same.
A pleasure to dine with, he helped to keep
alive the noble tradition of College Suppers. Genial, good natured and enthusiastically loyal; a great ladies' man, socially
sought after. Smoked an occasional cigarette. He was a keen G.C. member and
prominent at General Meetings. A valuable ruck and a splendid mark, he represented Newman also in Tennis and Cricket. Was perfectly cast as Lord Norfolk
in "Traitor's Gate."
J. S. CULLEN (1940-1, 47-8). A pioneer in the field of Psychology at the University; alarmed us occasionally when we
found we were guinea pigs for his experiments. Was a man to be reckoned with
on the dance-floor—at times we thought it
was part of his Aths. training—but of late
he seems to have mellowed under the restraining influence of another hand. Has
represented the College in Athletics on
several occasions. One of those who had
small success in copying Lourey's system.
K. R. DILLON (1943, 46-8). A blunt
man, but not a plain one. Independent,
highly original and full of pranks, even
the turn of his phrase was unpredictable.
His smile and his scowl were equally colourful. Among his loves were driving and
flying, and he showed the same courage and
dash in the centre as at the wicket. A natural sport, he gave Newman spectacular
service in Football, besides being awarded
a Blue for inter-'Varsity work and playing
regularly with the Blacks. Even said to
have dabbled in fishing! A good friend
and hard worker, he has in him, as yet
untried, most of the qualities of a leader.
Should do well in a Big Business.

I. FAIRWEATHER (1946-8). Though
his College career was unspectacular, his
cheerful personality will be missed. One
of the hardest workers in College. A
gentleman whom we will be sorry to lose.
K. G. FITZPATRICK (1945-48). A keen
but unassuming student with an outstanding academic record. Those who knew
him well saw in him a man of many parts.
His favourite interests were music, literature and the Women's. He will be missed
by those of us who enjoyed his pleasant
hospitality, his gentle but titillating conversation.
F. L. HENNESSY (1945-8). An amiable
engineer, hard-working and conscientious
in all things. He represented Newman in
Athletics and in Rowing, where he was a
tower of strength, not only as an energetic
committee-man, but as Stroke of the '48
crew. He concluded an honourable college career with good service as Treasurer.
J. KEARNEY (1948). His stay in College was all too brief. A gentleman of
unusual wisdom and maturity; friendship
with him was a privilege, and an education.
K. G. LOUREY (1946-8). Sole inventor
and proprietor of a famous and muchenvied. system. Quiet and unassuming, he
was well liked by all and the object of
despairing admiration for his powers of
work.
B. P. PENN (1944-8). Had a touch of
the jester about him. He persisted in unfailing good humour and refused to be
shaken by any occasion, always maintaining himself and his aplomb magnificently.
He helped the College in many ways, particularly on the G.C., and was always behind the College in everything it did.
P. J. RYAN (1943-8). One of Newman's
most outstanding sons for many years, he
brought prodigious enthusiasm to a remarkable variety of interests. Between
lectures and clinics he made time for Philosophy, especially Psychology, literature
and the classics of the sacred authors. Unusually well read, at times the depth and
complexity of his thought were too much
for his fellows. He liked to say that while
he was taught at the University, he received his education at Newman; yet of few
can it be so truly said that he gave as much
to Newman as she could give to him. He
was a great companion and a brilliant conversationalist, witty and gleeful, whether
the occasion was a dinner-table discussion
about the Irish or talks far into the night
on anything and everything for which supper provided an excuse. He took leading
roles in the plays, edited "Taboo," skied
with elan and barracked with a patriot's
fervour. Never too busy to help you—
all the College were his friends—he would
give up his last cigarette.
F. W. SHEA (1947-8). Of F. William
it could truly be said that he possessed the
artistic temperament. -Sartorially striking,
he had a deep-seated appreciation of cars,
comfort and good food. In fact, he loved
most of the good things of this world.
Never seen in a hurry. An authority on
music of both kinds and a regular playgoer; he himself gave a memorable performance as the Hungry One in "The
Staircase."
D. J. O'CONNOR (1945-8). Earned the
name of The Iron Man for his remarkable
stamina in Athletics. One of those rare
men, whose good humour was in evidence
even at breakfast. He was a great enthusiast in the N.S.V. and all College activities, not least this year's play.

St. Mary's Hall, 1948
HE elections of the Senior Student,
June Aitkin, and the general committee, Maureen Christie, Judith
Montague and Helen Gibson, marked the
beginning of activity at St. Mary's Hall,
1948.
The usual Freshers' Welcome, which
followed soon afterwards, was the first of
our social events.
Much interest was aroused by the reorganisation of the Newman College
Dramatic Society early in the year.
Maureen Christie and Brenda Moore represented us on the committee with legal
advice, and some of our enthusiasts
initiated important changes in the Constitution. This great burst of fervour in
the first term culminated in a reading of
"The Old Lady Shows her Medals", at St.
Mary's Hall. Unfortunately, after the
splendid effort of "Traitor's Gate" in June,
the society languished. (Where are our
constitutional enthusiasts?)
The Annual Retreat, given by Rev. W.
Clune, M.S.C., was held at the end of first
term.
Our tennis team—Judy Montague, Sally
Seward, Shirley Newman and Anne Gilfedder—were once again runners-up in the
Intercollegiate Tennis. We are grateful
to the Rector and the men of Newman for
allowing us to use the two new en-tout-cas
courts for our matches.
A cricket match between Janet Clarke
Hall and St. Mary's Hall was played with
great hilarity in "swot vac."
Father Murphy was entertained at a
formal dinner at St. Mary's Hall on the
occasion of his Rectorial Jubilee. He
received the congratulations and good
wishes of the Sisters and students. Some
of the more talented among us entertained
the Rector after the dinner.
Throughout the year our choir has alternated with the men's choir in singing at
the weekly public Benediction held at the
Chapel of the Holy Spirit.
An innovation which has much to commend it is the exchange of invitations to
social and sporting activities between the
various Women's Colleges.
The main event of second term was our
annual At Home. Our numerous friends
contributed to the pleasures of the evening,
which were further augmented by excellent
music and supper.
The unusual presence of numbers of
workmen about the Hall has indicated the
erection of new music cells. These will
be welcomed by students of all faculties—
especially the non-musical ones, so we are
told. However, the music students enjoyed pride of place when Auriel Garratt
and Carina Flaherty gave the premiere
performance of Bela Bartok's Rhapsodie
at the Midwinter Concerto Concert at
Melba Hall.
Various changes have been made in the
executive personnel of the Hall this year.
During the absence abroad of Mother M.
Frances—she left early in the year for
Ireland as one of four Australian representatives at a World Chapter of the Institute
of the Blessed Virgin. Mary—Mother M.
Sylvester has acted as Superior. Mother
M. Louis is still with us, but Mother M.
Clare has left St. Mary's to become Superior
of "Normanhurst," and we are pleased to
welcome to our community Mother M.
Assumpta. —H. M. G.

Last year the Past Students' Association
was founded, and already there is a considerable sum in hand towards a memorial
to Mother Patrick. The first annual
dinner was held on August 9, 1948, at
Union House, forty members of all years
being present. Special guests included
Father Murphy, Mrs. G. W. Paton (representing Ormond), Miss Leeper (Trinity),
and Miss Wadeson (Queen's). Speakers
included Father Murphy, Mrs. Paton, Joan
Strachan, Virginia Hoban, and Leslie
Moorhead. Unfortunately, the President, Molly Winter, was prevented by illness from attending. The present
students were represented by Judith Montague.

T
HIS year may be regarded as a fairly successful one for Newman—at least in the efforts
of our sportsmen on the field. Though the spirit and enthusiasm of the teams was
outstanding, possibly higher than in previous years, the College as a whole did not
give them the support, or even take the interest in their achievements which one would
expect. Attendance at the Athletics and Tennis in particular was so poor that a stranger
might well have doubted our numbers; and but little interest was shown in the practise
matches which the various committees arranged.
First fixture of the year was the cricket.
Fitting in as much practise as possible,
Newman fielded a side quite capable of winning the shield. The bowling and fielding
of the side was strong enough to gain the title if only they had been supported by a little
ability and enterprise in batting. Left only a moderate total by Ormond, we failed to
get the required runs.
The rowers displayed exceptional keenness, and it was disappointing to observe the
attitude of some of the College to their performance in the first heat against Queen's.
That Queen's were the ultimate winners of the Higgins Shield showed that our crew had
done an excellent job.
The standard of the Athletics is becoming very high. This year we again finished
second to Ormond, but it was a good second—closer than in the past.
The Football is a pleasant memory. We retained the Kenney Cup only by the
barest of margins, but it was a great victory, full of the courage and determination which
makes Newman.
The Tennis victory, our first in twenty years, was one of which we have reason
to be proud. The team, and particularly their captain, Brian Brophy, deserve our congratulation for the manner in which they practised assiduously throughout the year. It
was pleasing indeed that such enthusiasm was so well rewarded.
We congratulate our successful opponents—Ormond—in Cricket and Athletics, and
Queen's in Rowing.
FOOTBALL
Improving with every game, Newman
fought back after their initial defeat by
Ormond, to win again the coveted. Kenney
Cup. The final game against our traditional rivals, Ormond, was Inter-Collegiate
football at its best, and neither side wilted
in a hard-fought last quarter.
The spectacular forward work of the
captain, Ken Phelan, was at all times an
inspiration to the team, and he was ably
seconded by the vice-captain, Kevin Dillon.
A heartening feature of the series was the
consistent form shown by first year members of the team—giving promise of strong
teams in the immediate future—whilst the
Veterani, under pressure, produced the
brand of football which seems to be peculiar to Newman.
The team's success was in no small measure due to the tireless coaching of Rev.
Father Gleeson, whose exacting training
programme stood them in good stead in
hard-fought finishes. The football committee consisted of Messrs. Phelan, Dillon,
Caine, Reid and Smith.

NEWMAN v. ORMOND
Ormond swept into attack from the
bounce and, exploiting the loose man on
the forward line, scored six invaluable
goals in the first fifteen minutes of play.
Newman steadied in the second quarter
and, after the interval, attacked strongly
through Magee, Phelan and Reid. A
combination of inaccuracy and ill-luck
forward prevented them from reducing the
leeway, however, and Ormond still retained a comfortable lead at the change.
Ormond closed their ranks and, despite
grand work by Nagle and Dillon, won convincingly in a hard-fought final term.

NEWMAN v. TRINITY.
With the prospects of entering the final
at stake, Newman were out to build up
their percentage, and once more defied
tradition by beginning well. The effect
of Corcoran's return to the ruck was immediately felt and, led by Caine, the backs
had the Trinity forwards well covered.
Newman increased their lead by intelligent
forward work, and Phelan kicked accurately to make his tally six goals. Al,
though Paskos was injured in the third
quarter, Newman held a safe lead at the
final change. Trinity, undaunted, fought
back, and Potter, who had been subdued
all day, scored brilliantly to restore interest
to the game. Newman, however, regained
control and ran out comfortable winners.

NEWMAN v. QUEEN'S
Newman began more speedily, but
costly errors and rugged defence by Queen's
prevented them from taking a commanding lead. Phelan made the most of his
opportunities, but Newman lacked cohesion, and play see-sawed between the halfback lines. In the third quarter Queen's,
playing dazzling football, broke through
and kicked seven goals to Newman's one.
Faced with a twenty-seven point deficit at
the final change, Newman's chances of
averting defeat appeared slim, and for
some time they battled unavailingly against
a strong defence. Richards was playing
a magnificent game for Queen's. With
less than half the quarter to play, Nagle
drove Newman forward with unforgettable
dash, and goals to Magee, Phelan and
O'Brien levelled the scores. Newman
threw themselves into attack again, and a
long kick by Nagle was rushed through by
O'Brien as the final bell rang. Phelan's
five goals, Nagle's determination, and the
refusal of the team lo admit defeat had
given them a vital win.

FINAL: NEWMAN v. ORMOND
With a defeat to avenge, the stage was
set for a typical Newman-Ormond final.
Both rovers, Paskos and O'Brien, were on
the injured list, but Dillon was back in
the centre and immediately made his presence felt. Kicking with the wind, Newman drove forward, and Phelan capped
determined attacks with three goals, to
give Newman a valuable lead in the soggy
conditions. In the second quarter the
defenders played brilliant football to nullify Ormond's wind advantage, and Newman appeared to have a firm grip on the
game. Ormond, however, fought back in
the third quarter, and gradually reduced
their deficit. With Corcoran and McCarthy rucking in inspired fashion, Dillon
and Dooley brilliant across the centre, and
the whole defence line playing shoulder to
shoulder, Newman held their lead until,
with a final burst, Ormond levelled the
scores with only time-off to play. Newman ,
forced forward and Reid's long kick from
a splendid viC-'afreinotgvhm
tory in a thrilling game.

CRICKET
H
IGH HOPES were raised when Ormond, sent in to bat on an easy wicket, lost their five best batsmen by
noon for 30. Jenkins and Nagle, the captain, accomplished this feat by steady bowling with an occasional really difficult ball.
Lyons then routed the remainder of the
side with hostile in-swingers, which rated
him our best bowler.
Our openers set out with great optimism to eclipse Ormond's 75. Phelan, forgetting inhibitions, was out on a scythe
stroke after a promising 12. Dillon and
Niall soon followed, but Meade, unfettered, played some sparkling shots before
he, too, succumbed. Nagle was out when
a chance, hard and high, to slip, was held
magnificently. Donovan, batting competently, if uncertainly at times, carried the
score to 82. Clarke made a most valuable
stand of seven in 74 minutes. Doggedness,
tenacity—these words do not convey the
true spirit of an innings of which Godfrey
Evans himself would have been proud. It
was bettered only by a second innings,
eight in 85 minutes. Our tail was soporific and did not wag; a lead of only 15
meant a strenuous tussle ahead.
Ormond's second venture with the bat
opened with solemn grinding of teeth and
determination to show that Inter-coll.
matches can last 1000 minutes. A careful observer, however, could detect that
the score mounted and that it was ominously high. With the openers gone the
batting became gayer, and Rogers played
some attractive and forceful strokes. Reid
came to the rescue and was our star bowler.
Overall honours went to Nagle in this
sphere, for in both knocks he was dangerous and tireless. Ormond were dismissed
for a total of 149.
Phelan's designs on the Ormond clock
again cut short a hand of plenty. Dillon
and Donovan, both batting well, were out
[ 28 ]
to superb catches, and we felt that the
Fates might have spared one of them.
Stubborn Clarke, and Niall inspired, were
our over-night hopes. Alas! No rain fell
and the end was rapid, like a knife-thrust
in the balloon of our aspirations.

ROWING
IN.. OR the third year in succession New1••• man embarked on the rowing training with fair prospects of success, but
once again, for the third year in succession,
we were unfortunate in meeting the
strongest crew in the heat.
By the first week our finalised crew consisted of five of last year's members, the
stroke and seven of our excellent '47 seconds and one newcomer.
The seating was: Stroke, F. L. Hennessy; 7, A. M. Dillon; 6, G. R. G. Prendiville; 5, J. G. Crameri; 4, J. E. McCarthy;
3, M. H. Oilfedder; 2, T. P. Banting; bow,
M. G. Caine; cox, B. J. Feery.
The training was carried out in a very
rigorous style under the guidance .of our
coach, Mr. R. J. Daffy, who gave willingly
much time and energy to the task. Numerous long rows and severa 1 time-trials
helped to develop the timing, swing and
spirit to a stage where we were confident
of reaching the final. Our rows against
other crews showed that we should be
right in the finish.
On the day of the race with Queen's
we got away to a good start, but, before
the first bridge was reached, we were trailing by about a canvas. Although the rating went up we failed to make any headway in bridging the gap, and coming to
the Big Bend we momentarily lost that
swing which is so essential to good rowing.
[ 29 ]
We entered the straight about two lengths
behind, and, though our swing improved
greatly, Queen's maintained this lead to
the end.
We congratulate Queen's on their win,
and also on their final victory over Ormond. We extend our thanks on behalf
of the College and crew to our coach.
SECONDS.
This year our second crew contained
only three of last year's rowers, and their
training was greatly delayed because of the
state of our training boat. However, under the coach, Mr. R. M. O'Hanlon, an
enthusiastic crew was chosen and training
commenced in earnest. Unfortunately,
one of the members, S. E. Reid, became
ill a week before the race. J. R. McGoldrick was chosen to fill the vacancy.
In the race our seconds, after starting
only fairly, went away to a lead of over a
canvas. Rowing excellently, they held this
lead until the last hundred yards, but then
the interrupted training caused a shortening of the swing, and Queen's, finishing
strongly, won by three feet.
The final second eight were: Stroke, J.
Hill; 7, J. K. McCarthy; 6, J. Robinson;
5, J. Moriarty; 4, D. V. Fogarty; 3,
J. McGoldrick; 2, B. Kelly; bow, J. Cornwell;
cox, F. P. McArdle.
—B.J.F.
ATHLETICS
HE task of building an athletic team
capable of breaking Ormond's present run of successes is one which
we feel each year is not beyond us, but invariably Ormond seem to find that little
extra which means the difference between
victory and defeat. It is comforting to
know, however, that superior natural talent alone has given them the majority of
their victories.
Rarely has Newman been fortunate
enough to have a man so gifted with the
qualities demanded of a leader as she was
this year in having Bernard O'Brien as
her captain of athletics. Under his able
guidance, and heartened by the presence
of several good athletes amongst us, Newman took unto herself a sense of courage
and confidence with which she might conquer.
The team trained rigorously for many
months preceding the day of the contest.
They were most unselfish and retiring as
regards the inconveniences which it caused
many of them. Ormond, however, after
being closely pressed by our team, found
themselves again the possessors of the
Cato Shield—upon this success we congratulate them. Newman should not be
waiting long for the shield to hang once
again in her portals, as the enthusiasm and
ability of our athletes are increasing every
year.
Most meritorious individual performances were Kevin Coleman's great sprint
victories and his third in the 440 yards,
run in exceedingly good time considering
the state of the track; John Anchen's brilliant 440 yards' victory, which some
amongst us thought was even overshadowed by his great second to MacMillan in the 880 yards, where he displayed
courage characteristic of a great sportsman; and Ken. Phelan's good throw of 35
T
ft. 114 in. in the weight putt, which gave
him victory over Moore of Ormond, who
was his conqueror last year.
All members of the team are to be commended on their performances, which
were typical of Newman men in that they
were fought to the bitter end. Congratulations are extended to Bernard O'Brien,
Kevin Coleman and John Anchen, who
represented the University in the Inter'Varsity Athletics held in Sydney.

THE TENNIS TEAM
Frcm Left: J. F. Niall, B. J. Brophy (Capt.), J. F. Kearney, L. F. Cleary.
TENNIS
The Mackay Cup now graces our Hall
for the first time in twenty-one years. There
was good material in College this year,
with several members playing pennant
throughout the season; and the committee,
led by Brian Brophy, carefully groomed
each prospect.
Practices were frequent
and hard, and matches were arranged
against pennant teams. It was a capable
team which represented Newman.
NEWMAN v. QUEEN'S.
The opening matches did not provide
much spectacular tennis, both Newman
men winning in straight sets.
ClearY d. Walker ..
Niall d. A. G. Bond ..
.. 6-0, 6-4
.. 6-4, 6-4
Brophy then met the Queen's captain,
N. S. Bond, and soon Newman had three
rubbers to love lead. Brophy's service
and smashing were outstanding. In a
marathon between J. Kearney and Hong
Kin Wong, Wong eventually won after
showing much determination.
Brophy d. N. S. Bond
6-1, 6-2
Kearney lost to Wong 6-3, 2-6, 4-6
Better tennis was seen in the afternoon,
Brophy and Cleary combining well to
defeat both N. S. Bond and Walker, and
Wong and A. G. Bond in straight sets.
Brophy's service and Cleary's left-handed
fore-hand angled returns of service always
had the opposition in difficulty. Kearney
and Niall, in better form, showed more
force in their doubles play. Both played
many crisp shots to win their rubbers.
Brophy-Cleary d. N. S. Bond-Walker
6-0, 6-1
Brophy-Cleary d. Wong-A. G. Bond
6-2, 6-1
Kearney-Niall d. N. S. Bond-Walker

Kearney-Niall d. Wong-A. G. Bond
3-6, 6-2, 6—i
Newman, 7-15-102, d. Queen's, 1-4-57
NEWMAN v. TRINITY
The final against Trinity, who had narrowly defeated Ormond, was played under
ideal conditions before a large crowd.
Cleary, playing with immediate touch,
easily defeated Barbour in straight sets.
Niall dropped the first set to Mighell, but
won the second after outrallying his opponent and saving two match points. The
last set was a battle of tactics, Mighell
lobbing everything, but Niall's net work
clinched the set and rubber. Kearney's
failure to attack cost him his singles rubber against the consistent volleying of
Mann.
The Brophy-Potter match provided brilliant tennis, Potter's forecourt work
earning him the first set. With determined driving and serving Brophy took
the second. In the third set, played after
lunch, the consistency of each had suffered. Brophy's big service won him the
match—four virtual aces in the last game.
Cleary d. Barbour .. . • .. 6-3, 6-1
Niall d. Mighell
1-6, 9-7, 6--3
Kearney lost to Mann 6-4, 1-6, 3-6
Brophy d. Potter .. .. 5-7, 6-4, 6-4
The match now seemed to depend on
the first pairs' doubles.
Fine tennis was
seen in the first two sets.
In the third,
Brophy's serve and Cleary's brilliant all
court play proved too much for Potter and
Barbour, Newman taking the set with the
loss of only seven points. As Mann and
Mighell easily defeated Kearney and Niall,
the result was still in doubt as the same
pair faced Brophy and Cleary. The Newman pair, after dropping the first set, regained confidence and, using clever tactics
against tired opponents, took the rubber.
Kearney and Niall, trailing 4-2 against
Potter and Barbour, unwound a relentless
attack based on all-court forced play. Both
played their best tennis of the year, and
after saving a set point in the tenth game,
they took the set at 9-7; the Trinity pair,
nevertheless, rallied to save the rubber.
Brophy-Cleary d. Potter-Barbour
6-2, 3-6, 6-0
Kearney-Niall lost to Mighell-Mann
2-6, 1-6
Brophy-Cleary d. Mighell-Mann

Kearney-Niall lost to Potter-Barbour

And so it came to pass that about that
time a great disaster fell upon the children
of Newman. And they moved amidst the
cloisters with downcast eyes clad in black
gowns, and they murmured amongst themselves, saying one to another: "There is no
hot water!" And there was tribulation in
the land and they wept and ceased not to
bathe themselves in their tears, for it was
knew not whence to turn, when of a sudden
a man rose up amongst them—a prophet-one George the son of Mitchell, and in a loud
voice said: "The drains have turned it up,"
and the crowd cried, "Ah yea! 'Tis indeed
so." And lo! at that moment there came
riding by on his ass an Inspector of the Board
of Works. And the Elders ran up to him
saying, "Save us, save us," and he, without
getting off his ass, for he was a Government
official, said he would.
And presently there came amongst them
many men carrying picks and shovels
wrapped in white samite, mystic, wonderful,
and they sat upon the ground and murmured
amongst themselves: "Whose deal is it?"
And ever and anon one of their number
(whom in their own tongue they called
"dummy") smote the ground with now a pick,
now a shovel, and oft times stood and gazed
about him. And so it came to pass that in
the fulness of time a hole was dug, but an
enemy came in the night and filled it with
water. And so often as they emptied it each
clay, so often was it filled again at night.
And the workmen murmured one to another
saying: "There'll be trouble about this." And
thereupon the Elders drew their cloaks over
their heads and wept and would not be comforted. And the years passed, and the days,
and still as often as they emptied the hole
verily was it again filled up. But then upon
the Tuesday within the Octave of Derby Day,
George the son of Mitchell took a rod in his
hand and smote the boiler, and lo! from the
taps water gushed forth and a great cry
arose, and a shout, and all the men took off
their vestments and bathed themselves, for
verily the drought had broken.

Newman College Old Boys' Association
1948 ACTIVITIES
Watsonia, in November, and, in the same
month, the Annual Requiem Mass will be
offered in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit.
At the Dinner it was announced that the
Scholarship Fund had reached the sum of
£1000, and hence, under the terms of the
Trust, it was announced that the first
award would be made at the end of 1948.
Conditions are now being formulated, and
the Committee has in mind the granting
of an Annual Scholarship to the value of
£50, but to keep open the capital fund in
order that the revenue will permit perhaps
increasing the value of the award or granting two scholarships.
The trend to a larger attendance at the
Annual Requiem Mass has lately been
observed. We have published below the
full Requiem List. I think it can be
safely stated that irrespective of the period
spent in College, each member will recognise the name of at least one of his contemporaries.
In order to complete the official files an
appeal is made to any member who could
kindly give to the Secretary copies of "Newman" of 1921, 1924, 1939.
An effort is being made to form a branch
of the Association in Perth, and the Secretary, after a recent visit, is hopeful of early
action.
OLLOWING the trend of recent years
and reflecting the increased interest in
the Association, there was a splendid
attendance at the Annual Dinner and
General Meeting, held at Menzies' Hotel
on the first Saturday in December, 1947.
Mr. P. F. O'Collins was elected President; Dr. F. P. Costigan, Mr. C. G. Heffey,
and Dr. H. J. Sinn, Vice-Presidents; Committee, Mr. F. K. Maher, Dr. M. Clarke,
Mr. A. R. Kelly, Mr. F. Corder, Dr. J. B.
O'Collins, Mr. J. W. Galbally; Assistant
Secretary, Dr. R. T. J. Galbally; Hon.
Treasurer, Mr. J. A. Redmond; Hon.
Secretary, Mr. J. 0. Parker.
The Rector was very welcome as our
guest of honour. The traditional toasts
were enthusiastically honoured.
Reference must be made to the manner
in which the retiring President, Dr. H. J.
Sinn, proposed the toast of "The College."
In a scintillating speech, interspersed with
attractive witticisms, Dr. Sinn spoke very
sincerely of the place that the College and
the Rector occupy in our hearts.
During 1948 it was pleasing to see the
increasing numbers of members attending
the College social functions, and similar
interest is expected at the Golf Day. The
annual Retreat will be held at "Loyola,"
F
JUBILEE
On the evening of April 15, the complimentary dinner was tendered to the Rector
at the Hotel Australia, the largest accommodation available being fully taxed by a
brilliant assembly of Newman men,
gathered to pay honour to Father Murphy.
Invitations had been issued to the
Chairman and members of the College
Council; also to his Grace the CoadjutorArchbishop of Melbourne, the Most Rev.
Justin Simonds; to the Chancellor of the
On April 10, Father Murphy completed
his twenty-fifth year as Rector of the
College. Since 1946 the Association had
planned to mark the occasion by arranging
a formal dinner, and a decision that a
portrait of the Rector be painted by a leading artist was put into effect.
On the Anniversary Day the President
and Secretary formally called on the Rector
and extended to him the congratulations
and good wishes of the Association.
[35]
University, Sir Charles Lowe; to the Provincial of the Society of Jesus, Very Rev.
Austin Kelly, S.J.; and to the President of
the Students' Club, Mr. T. B. Shillito.
The Chairman of the Council (His Grace
the Archbishop of Melbourne), His Grace
the Coadjutor-Archbishop, and their Lordships the Bishop of Ballarat and the
Bishop of Sandhurst were represented by
His Lordship the Bishop of Sale, the Most
Rev. Richard Ryan, C.M. The other
members of the Council present were the
Vice-Chancellor, Mr. J. D. G. Medley (now
Sir John Medley); the Dean of the College,
Rev. J. P. Gleeson, S.J.; the Principal of
St. Kevin's College, Rev. Brother J. A.
Saul; and Mr. M. Chamberlin. It was a
happy coincidence that Mr. P. F. O'Collins,
who is also a member of the Council,
should be the chairman for this evening's
function as President of the Association.
Mr. O'Collins welcomed the Guest of
Honour and the Special Guests.
In presenting formal apologies from His
Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne, His
Grace the Coadjutor-Archbishop, their
Lordships the Bishop of Ballarat and the
Bishop of Sandhurst, and the Provincial
of the Society of Jesus, the secretary read
some extracts from their letters, in all of
which tribute was paid to the Rector's
outstanding record.
The secretary made reference also to
the special efforts to be present which had
been made by many members in journeying from as far as Mansfield, Warrnambool, and Bairnsdale. He also reported
that practically every past president of the
Association and President of the Students'
Club had gathered to pay tribute to the
Rector.
[ "]
We may note here that all past students
were allocated at tables according to the
date of their residence in College, pride of
place being given to the table at which sat
ten members of the foundation year, 1918,
seven of them being "Originals"—the
traditional name for those who entered
Newman at its actual inception.
After the toast of His Majesty the King
had been honoured, His Honour Judge
Mulvany proposed the toast of "Our Guest
of Honour." His Honour was supported
by Dr. John Hayden. The President then
presented the portrait to the Rector, who
graciously accepted it and replied to the
toast. He expressed his delight at seeing
so many of his past students, and formally
tendered his thanks to the Association,
expressing appreciation of the organisation of the function.
Dr. J. A. Clarebrough, supported by Mr.
J. X. O'Driscoll, proposed the toast of
"Our Visitors." In reply, the assembly
were treated to a trio of brilliant speeches,
each treating the subject from a different
angle, and delivered in different, but
equally appealing and impressive styles, by
His Lordship the Bishop of Sale, the
Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor.
The formal proposal of the toast of "The
Chairman," by Mr. J. 0. Parker, and Mr.
P. F. O'Collin's reply, brought to a close
a function which had been a brilliant success in every way. Sincere and spontaneous congratulations and expressions of
pleasure and appreciation were tendered
by a large number.
J. 0. PARKER,
Hon. Secretary,
85 The Esplanade, Elwood.
HIS HONOUR JUDGE MULVANY
During the year all members of the Students' Club and the Old Boys'
Association were delighted at the announcement that Joseph F. Mulvany had
been raised to the Bench of the County Court of Victoria. Congratulations
are very warmly tendered to Joe on this fitting recognition of his ability, on
the honour accorded him; and it is noted with pride that for the first time a
Newman man has been elevated to judicial office.
He began in 1922 a "triumphal career through College"—to quote "Valete"
of 1926. President of the Students' Club in 1925 and 1926; a brilliant student,
he gained the Exhibition in Final Honours (History), Dwight Prize, Wyeslaskie
Prize and Cobden Gold Medal, yet he found time to represent Newman in
inter-'varsity debates. He has been a tutor at the College, and, for many years,
a tutor in History at the University.
From his record at the Bar and as King's Counsel, it can be seen that this
latest honour, which makes us so proud, was hardly unexpected.
MARRIAGES
The marriages of the following Old Boys were celebrated by the Rector,
with Nuptial Mass, at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit:
Ross Batten, with Miss Alison Buxton, February 3, 1948.
J. Adrian Redmond, with Miss Margaret Page, April 3, 1948.
Francis Galbally, with Miss Bernadette O'Bryan, June 26, 1948.

G. Paul McGowan, with Miss Marie Terrill, August 28, 1948.
John Moriarty, with Miss Olive Nicholls, September 4, 1948.
Congratulations and best wishes are offered by the Students' Club and the
Old Boys' Association.
