PREFACE
THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY was incorporated by an Act of the Colonial
Legislature, which received the Royal Assent on the 9th
December, 1851. The objects set forth in the preamble are— " the
advancement of religion and morality, and the promotion of
useful knowledge." It is empowered to confer degrees in Arts,
Law, and Medicine; and is endowed with the annual income of
£5000.
By a Royal Charter issued 7th February, 1858 (see p. 16), the
same rank, style, and precedence were granted to Graduates of
the University of Sydney as are enjoyed by Graduates of
Universities within the United Kingdom. The University of
Sydney is also declared in the amended Charter granted to the
University of London, to be one of the institutions in connection
with that University, from which certificates of having pursued
a due course of instruction shall be received, with a view to
admission to Degrees.
The Government of the University is vested in a Senate, consisting of sixteen Fellows, who select from their own body a
Provost and Vice-Provost. Vacancies will be filled up by the
Fellows themselves until there are one hundred Graduates
entitled to vote, upon whom, thereafter, the right of election will
devolve.
Under the peculiar circumstances of the Colony, it was
judged expedient to establish at first the Faculty of Arts alone,
before attempting those which are specially devoted to the
professions of Medicine and Law. The curriculum for the degree
of B.A. includes the Classical Languages; History, modern and
ancient; Logic and Moral Philosophy ; Mathematics and Natural
Phic

PREFACE.
losophy; Chemistry and Experimental Physics. The teaching of
the Faculty of Arts, in addition to these subjects, will embrace
Mental and Political Philosophy; Natural History, comprising
Mineralogy and Geology ; Botany and Zoology; the French and
German Languages and Literature.
The Faculty of Medicine has since been established, and a
Board of Examiners has been appointed by the Senate to test
the qualifications of Candidates for Medical Degrees.
The immediate direction of the studies in each Faculty is
entrusted to a Board of the Professors in that Faculty; and
questions relating to the general studies are decided (subject to
the approval of the Senate) by a Board consisting of the Provost,
Vice-Provost, and all the Professors, the Dean of the Faculty of
Arts being ex-officio Chairman.
The maintenance of discipline is provided for by the
appointment of a Board styled the Proctorial Board, and
composed of the Provost, the Vice-Provost, the Senior Professor
of Classics, the Senior Professor of Mathematics, and the Senior
Professor of Chemistry and Experimental Physics. Subject to
the general control of the Senate, this Board is empowered to
make Rules for the due observance of order, and to visit
insubordination and irregularity with fines or other ordinary
Academic punishments.
The Lectures of the Professors are open to persons not members of the University upon payment of a moderate fee for each
course.
The distinctive character of the Sydney University is the
absence of any religious test as a condition of Membership, of
honor, or of office ; it is intended to supply the means of a
liberal education to " all orders and denominations without any
distinction whatever:" it possesses no Theological Faculty, but
resembles, in respect of its Secular Faculties, the Universities of
the Continent, and Edinburgh, and of Oxford and Cambridge, as
reformed by the late Act of Parliament.
PREFACE.
15
Although the comprehensive principles on which the University is
founded do not admit of the establishment of a Theological Faculty,
the importance of religion as an element of education is fully
recognized. With a special view to this object, Government has granted
to the Senate a valuable building site of about 130 acres, upon which,
in addition to the University buildings, it is proposed to erect Colleges,
wherein the academical secular teaching may be supplemented at will
by the dogmatical instruction and discipline of the several Churches
into which the community is divided.
An Act to encourage the erection of such Colleges was passed by
the Legislature during the Session of 1854. Ample assistance is offered
towards their endowment; and with an enlightened liberality the
maintenance of the fundamental principle of the University—the
association of Students, loithout respect of religious creeds, im, the cultivation of
secular knowledge—is secured consistently with the most perfect
independence of the College authorities within their own walls.
Colleges in connection with the Church of Englaud, and also in
connection with the Roman Catholic Church, have been established.
Under the Fifteenth Clause of the Electoral Act, 22nd Victoria, No.
20, the University is entitled to return one Member to Parliament,
when it shall contain one hundred graduates who have taken the
Degree of Master of Arts, or any higher degree.
An account of the several Scholarships and other Prizes for
proficiency which have been established out of the Funds of the
University, or have been founded by Private Benefactions, will be
found in this Calendar.
ROYA.L CHARTER
OF THE
UNIVERSITY
OP
SYDNEY.
Wl d otX U , by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, To all to
whom these presents shall come greeting: WHEKEAS under and by
virtue of the provisions of an Act of the Governor and
Legislative Council of our Colony of New South Wales, passed in
the fourteenth year of our reign, No. 31, intituled " An Act to
Incorporate and Endow the University of Sydney, and to which
our Royal assent was granted on the ninth day of December,
One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty One, a Senate
consisting of sixteen Fellows was incorporated and made a body
politic with perpetual succession, under the name of the
University of Sydney, with power to grant, after examination,
the several degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Bachelor
of Laws, Doctor of Laws, Bachelor of Medicine, and Doctor of
Medicine, and to Examine for Medical Degrees in the four
branches of Medicine, Surgery, Midwifery, and Pharmacy. AND
WHEKEAS our trusty and well beloved Sir William Thomas Denison,
Knight, Commander of our most honorable Order of the Bath,
Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Engineers, our Captain-General
and Governor-in-Chief in and over our said Colony, has
transmitted to us the humble petition of the Senate of the said
University of Sydney under their common seal, dated the ninth
day of February, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty Seven,
wherein is set forth a statement of the establishment of the said
University, the appointment of learned Professors of the Faculty
of Arts, and the Provisions
ROYAL CHARTER.
22
adopted and to be adopted in respect to the Faculties of Laws
and Medicine and the course of Education and Discipline for
the Scholars, Undergraduates, and Graduates of the said
University, and in which it is humbly submitted that the
standard of acquirements which must be attained by Graduates
in the University of Sydney, is not below that prescribed by the
most learned Universities of the United Kingdom, that the
direction of the studies in the said University has been
committed to Professors who have highly distinguished
themselves in British Universities, that the Rules under which
the high standard in the University has been fixed, cannot be
altered without the approval of our representative in the
Colony, and that there is vested in him the power of
interference should the Rules laid down be unduly relaxed in
practice, and that therefore the Memorialists confidently hope
that the Graduates of the University of Sydney will not be
inferior in scholastic acquirements to the majority of Graduates
of British Universities. And that it is desirable to have the
Degrees of the University of Sydney generally recognized
throughout our Dominions. And it is also humbly submitted
that although our Royal assent to the Act of the Legislature of
New South Wales hereinbefore recited fully satisfies the
principle of our law that the power of granting Degrees should
flow from the Crown, yet that as that assent was conveyed
through an Act which has effect only in the territory of New
South Wales, the memorialists believe that the Degrees granted
by the said University, under the authority of the said Act are
not legally entitled to recognition beyond the limits of New
South Wales. And that the memorialists are in consequence
most desirous to obtain a Grant from us of Letters Patent
requiring all our subjects to recognize the Degrees given under
the Act of the local Legislature in the same manner as if the said
University of Sydney bad been an University established within
the United Kingdom under a Royal Charter or an Imperial
enactment: And the memorialists therefore hereby most humbly
pray that we will be pleased to take the premises into our
gracious consideration and grant to the University of
23
ROYAL
CHARTER.
Sydney Letters Patent effective of the object therein set forth.
Now KNOW YE that we, taking the premises into consideration and
deeming it to be the duty of our Royal Office for the
advancement of religion and morality and the promotion of
useful knowledge to hold forth to all classes and denominations
of our faithful subjects without any distinction whatsoever
throughout our dominions encouragement for pursuing a
regular and liberal course of Education, and considering that
many persons do prosecute and complete their studies in the
Colony of New South Wales on whom it is just to confer such
distinctions and rewards as may induce them to persevere in
their laudable pursuits, Do by virtue of our Prerogative Royal
and of our especial Grace and certain knowledge and mere
motion by these presents for us, our heirs and successors, will,
grant and declare that the Degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master
of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Medicine, and Doctor of
Medicine, already granted or conferred or hereafter to be
granted or conferred by the Senate of the said University of
Sydney shall be recognized as Academic distinctions and
rewards of merit, and be entitled to rank 5 precedence, and
consideration in our United Kingdom and in our Colonies and
possessions throughout the world as fully as if the said Degrees
had been granted by any University of our said United
Kingdom. And we further will and ordain that any variation of
the Constitution of the said University which may at any time
or from time to time be made by an Act of the said Governor
and Legislature shall not so long as the same or the like
standard of knowledge is in the opinion of the said Governor
preserved as a necessary condition for obtaining the aforesaid
Degrees therein in any manner annul, abrogate, circumscribe,
or diminish the privileges conferred on the said University, by
these our Royal Letters Patent, nor the rank, rights, privileges,
and consideration conferred by such Degrees. And lastly we do
hereby for us our heirs and successors grant and declare that
these our Letters Patent or the enrolment or exemplification
thereof shall be in and by all things valid and effectual in law
according to the true intent and meaning of
24
ROYAL CHARTER.
the same, and shall be construed and adjudged in the most
favorable and beneficial sense of the best advantage of the said
University as well in all our courts elsewhere, notwithstanding
any non-recital, uncertainty, or imperfection in these our
Letters Patent. IN WITNESS whereof we have caused these our
Letters to be made Patent.
WITNESS ourself at Westminster, the Twenty-seventh day of
February, in the Twenty-first Year of our Reign.

SCHOLARSHIPS.
5.—LEVEY SCHOLARSHIP.
The sum of £500 was bequeathed by Solomon Levey, Esquire,
to the Sydney College, which had been established by a certain
number of Subscribers forming a Joint Stock Company for the
purpose of imparting the rudiments of a liberal education to the
youth of the Colony. The direction of Mr. Levey in respect to
this bequest was that the amount should be invested in the purchase of shares in the College, and that the annual income
arising therefrom should be applied towards the education of
Orphan Boys at the discretion of the Trustees of the College.
The Sydney College having failed in its object, the
Shareholders were empowered by an Act of the Legislature
passed in 1853, to sell to the University of Sydney the Land in
Hyde Park, which had been granted by the Government as a site
for the College with the buildings and all other property
belonging to the College, including Mr. Levey's bequest. This
sale having been effected accordingly in the same year, it was
resolved by the Senate of the University, that Mr. Levey's
bequest which they had acquired should be devoted to the
foundation of a Scholarship to be called the Levey Scholarship,
but that the principal, which then, with accrued interest,
amounted to £565, should be allowed to accumulate further
before its actual application to the intended object. The
principal is now represented by seven Government Debentures
of £100 each, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent.

REPORT
UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY,
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31si DECEMBER, 1860.
1. The Senate of the University of Sydney, in accordance
with the provisions of the 22nd clause of the Act of Incorporation, 14 Vic, No. 31, have the honor to submit, for the information of the Governor and Executive Council, the following
Report of their Proceedings during the year 1860.
2. Twenty-two Students were admitted to Matriculation in
the University, after having passed the preliminary
examination.
3. Eight Students who had completed the University course,
extending over a period of three years, and had passed the
statutory examination, were admitted to the Degree of Bachelor
of Arts.
4. The Degree of Master of Arts was conferred on one member of the University who had obtained, previously, the Degree
of Bachelor of Arts, and had complied with the requirements of
the By-laws.
5. In the competition for Scholarships, the successful candidates were:—
BARKER SCHOLARSHIP (for Mathematical Science):—
Cecil Bedford Stephen. DEAS THOMSON
SCHOLARSHIP (for Physical Science) :—
Cecil Bedford Stephen.
REPORT.
126
GENERAL, UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS (for general
proficiency):— Third year:— Cecil Bedford Stephen.
C Samuel Walker Griffith.
First year:— < Charles Stuart Mein.
(. Charles Edward Robertson Murray.
The SALTING EXHIBITION (devoted to a Student proceeding
from the Sydney Grammar School to the University) was
awarded to Charles Stuart Mein.
6. Vacancies were caused in the Senate by the resignation of
Mr. Alfred Denison and Mr. James Macarthur on the occasion of
their departure for Europe. Mr. William Charles Wentworth was
elected to fill the seat vacated by Mr. Denison, and Sir William
Macarthur was elected to the other seat.
7. The Senate have much pleasure in recording a further
instance of the munificence of the Provost, Sir Charles
Nicholson, to whose personal exertions and liberality the
University already owes so much, viz., the donation of his large
and valuable collection of Etruscan, Greek, Roman, and
Egyptian Antiquities. The means of establishing a Museum
having been thus secured, the Senate, with a view to render the
objects contained in it accessible to all members of the
community and to enable the Professors to avail themselves of
their aid in the illustration of the classical lectures, prepared
three rooms in the southern end of the building for their
reception. Mr. Edward Reeve has been appointed Curator of
Museum, and a catalogue of the antiquities is in course of
preparation.
8. The Senate are unable to report much progress in the
building during the past year. The completion of the battlements of the tower has been deferred, the money reserved for
that purpose being required for the Museum. The building,
however, has been rendered in all respects proof against the
weather.
9. With a view to enable persons who may have taken the
127
REPORT.
Degree of Bachelor of Arts, or an equivalent first Degree in Arts
in any University in the United Kingdom, or in Melbourne, to
proceed to the higher Degree of Master of Arts in this University, the Senate, by virtue of the powers vested in them by the
13th clause of the Act of Incorporation, have passed a By-law to
enable them to confer that Degree, after examination, under
certain conditions. This By-law, a copy of which is appended to
this Report, has been approved of by the Governor and
Executive Council.
10. A By-law to enable the Senate to confer the Degree of
Doctor of Medicine, after examination, under circumstances
similar to the foregoing, has also received the assent of the
Governor-General.
(A copy of this By-law is appended.)
11. A further By-law has been passed, repealing the By-law
relating to Matriculation, in so far as the time of payment of the
fee is concerned. Hitherto a candidate for Matriculation was
required to pay a fee of two pounds previously to admission to
examination. The payment of the fee under this By-law is
deferred until after the examination and approval of the candidate by the examiners. Inasmuch as, at the present time, the
examination for Scholarships of the first year is coincident with
that for Matriculation, persons whose hopes for securing an
University education depend upon the successful issue of their
examination, are, in case of failure, exempt from any pecuniary
loss.
(A copy of this By-law is appended.)
12. Leave of absence for one year has been granted to Professor Smith, to enable him to proceed to Europe. In addition to
considerations of health, the desirability of a visit to the principal laboratories of Europe, and of personal intercourse with
their eminent conductors ; and, further, the opportunity
presented for purchasing apparatus for the Chemical
Department of the University, induced the Senate to concede
that leave. Provision for the fulfilment of the duties of the
Chemical Classes has been
RE PORT.
123
made by the appointment of Mr. Charles Watt, as to whose ability to
perform the work entrusted to him, the Senate have received ample
assurance.
13. An account of the Receipts and Expenditure of the University,
during the past year is appended.
The foregoing Report was adopted at a meeting of the Senate
held on the 15th February, 1861, and ordered to be transmitted to the
Honorable the Colonial Secretary, for presentation to the Governor
and Executive Council and the Parliament, in pursuance of the 22nd
section of the Act of Incorporation, 14 Vict., No. 31.

This last letter of yours has so distressed me, that I can
hardly summon courage to reply to it. Alas, my dear Hubert, it
is possible that you are unhappy, when you are admired and
loved by every man who has a spark of goodness in him ? If
it-were anything in your private concerns which thus -disturbs
you, I should beg and beseech you, by the love I bear to you, and
by our sworn friendship, which I shall cherish as long as I live,
to let your advancing age repose on my affection (true, it has
not much power, yet inclination of itself may effect something) ;
and be assured that there is nothing I call my own to which you
have not by the same title a prior claim. But as I have long
known your strength of mind, and as I perceive from this very
letter that your grief arises from the state of the good cause,
and your own dear country, I have nothing more to write.

Oh, knew he bat his happiness, of men
The happiest he, who, far from public rage,
Drinks the pure pleasures of the rural life !
What though the dome be wanting, whose proud gate
Bach morning vomits out the sneaking crowd
Of flatterers false, and in their turn abused ?
Vile intercourse !
What though the glittering robe,
Or floating loose, or stiff with mazy gold,
The pride and gaze of fools, oppress him not ?
Sure peace is his.
Whatever greens the Spring,
When Heaven descends in showers ; or bends the bough
When Summer reddens, and when Autumn beams ;
Or in the Wintry glebe whatever lies
Concealed, and fattens with the richest sap ;
These are not wanting; nor the milky drove,
Luxuriant, spread o'er all the lowing plain.

Shall sorrow lean her drooping head, And feed
deep thought with many a dream,
And lingering pause and lightly tread;
Fond wretch! as if her step disturb'd the dead !
Away ; we know that tears are vain,
That death nor heeds nor hears distress : Will

the beginning of his Tusculan Disputations), who have
undertaken the defence of the Romans, and have maintained
that some at least among them have deserved to be preferred to
the best of the Greeks. But the greatest men have instituted a
more accurate comparison, and have most energetically
asserted on behalf of the Greeks their old claim to the highest
honours. They have not only compared the Greeks and Romans
in the aggregate, but have contrasted the chief writers of both,
and have thus established the undoubted superiority of Greek
over Roman literature. To me it seems that there are two causes
which account for this : first, the early commencement and long

immanis, cuius mentem non imbuerit deorum opinio: — mulfci
de diis prava sentiunt; (id enim vitioso more effici solet;) omnes
tamen esse vim et naturam divinam arbitrantur; nec vero id
collocutio hominum aut consensus effecit, non institutis opinio
est confirmata, non legibus; omni autem in re consensio
omnium gentium lex naturae putanda est;—quis est igitur, qui
suorum mortem primum non eo lugeat quod eos orbatos vitae
commodis arbitretur ? Tolle hanc opinionem; luctum sustuleris.
Nemo enim maeret suo incommodo; dolent fortasse et anguntur;
sed ilia lugubris lamentatio fletusque maerens ex eo est, quod
eum, quern dileximus, vitae commodis privatum arbitramur
idque sentire. Atque haec ita sentimus natura duce, nnlla
ratione nulla doctrina.
2. Credamus igitar Panaetio, a Platone suo dissentienti ?
Quern enim omnibus locis divinum, quern sapientissimum,
quern sanc-tissimum, quern Homerum philosophorum appellat,
buius hanc imam sententiam de immortalitate anhnorum non
probat. Vult enim, quod nemo negat, quicquid natum sit,
interire; nasci autem animos, quod declaret eorum simihtudo,
qui procreentur, quae etiam in ingeniis, non solum in
corporibns appareat. Alteram autem affert rationem: nihil esse,
quod doleat quin id aegrum esse quoque possit; quod autem in
morbum cadat, id etiam interiturum ; dolere antem animos ;
ergo etiam interire.
