PREFACE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF STDNET 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 after examination to confer
degrees in Arts, Law, and Medicine ; and it is endowed with the
annual income of £5000.
By a Royal Charter issued 7th February, 1858, 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 elective Fellows, and not fewer than three
nor more than six " ex-officio " members, being Professors of the
University in such branches of learning as the Senate may from
time to time select. Under this power the Senior Professors of
Glassies, Mathematics, and Chemistry, have been constituted
ex-officio Members of the Senate. A Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor are elected by the Senate from its own body.
Lectures are given on the Classical Languages ; History ;
Logic and Mental Philosophy ; Mathematics and Natural Philosophy; Chemistry and Experimental Physics; Geology and Palœontology; Mineralogy ; English Jurisprudence ; the ConstitutionalD
14
PREFACE.
History of England ; Political Economy ; ■ the English, French,
German, and Oriental Languages and Literature. Classes of
Practical Chemistry (Laboratory work) have been established.
In the Faculty of Medicine a Board of Examiners has been
appointed 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
Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and the Professors of the three
Faculties.
The maintenance of discipline is provided for by the appointment of a Board styled the Proctorial Board, and composed of the
Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the Senior Professor óf 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.
Undergraduate Members of the Universities of Oxford,
Cambridge, St. Andrew's, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dublin,
Durham, London, Queen's University of Ireland, and Melbourne,
are admitted ad eundem staium under certain regulations prescribed by the By-laws.
Graduates of the same Universities can be admitted to Degrees
after examination only, as required by the Act of Incorporation.
•
The distinctive character of the Sydney University is the
absence of any religious test, its object being to supply the means
of a liberal education to " all orders and denominations without
PREFACE.
any distinction whatever." It possesses no Theological Faculty,
but resembles, in respect of its Secular Faculties, the Universities
of the Continent, and of Edinburgh, also of Oxford and Cambridge, as reformed by the late Act of Parliament.
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 recognised. With a special view to this object, a portion of
the ground granted by the Government to the University has
been set apart for the erection of Colleges.
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 principles of the
University—the association of Students, without respect of religious
creeds, in 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 England, and 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.

ROYAL CHARTER
OP THE
UNIVERSITY
OF
SYDNEY.
Wlttatm, 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 : WHEREAS 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 Koyal assent was granted on the 9th 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 WHEEBAS our trusty and well beloved Sir William Thomas
Denison, Knight, Commander of our most honourable 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 establish-
ROYAL CHARTER.
ment of the said "university, the appointment of learned Professors of the Faculty of Arts, and the Provisions 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 conadently 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
17
18
ROYAL CHASTER.
said University of Sydney had been an University established
within the United Kingdon 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
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, Doctor
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, 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
ROYAL CHARTER.
19
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 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.
Bi WARRANT under the Queen's sign manual.

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. This Scholarship is allotted to an
Undergraduate of the first year, and is awarded, after examination, for general proficiency. It is tenable for one year, and is of
the annual value of. £35.

The sum of £445 was given in 1862 by W. C. Wentworth,
Esq., to be invested and allowed to accumulate until it should
reach an amount which in the opinion of the Senate would, be
sufficient for the foundation of a Travelling Fellowship, to be
awarded to a Graduate in Arts not being over twenty-five years
of age, who should be declared to have obtained the highest
Honors in the course of his Academical career. This Fellowship
is tenable for three years, and the holder is bound to visit
England and the Continent of Europe, and on his return to
present to the Senate a Narrative of his Tour, with remarks on
the objects of Scientific and Literary interest, to which his
observations may have been directed. It is not tenable with
any other similar Fellowship.
9.-MÓRT TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP.
The sum of £315 was given by Thomas SutclifFe Mort,
Esq., to be awarded on Commemoration Day, 1865, to the
Graduate (not then being over twenty-five years of age, nor
having resided in England since his eighteenth year) who
should, on that day, be declared to have attained the highest
Honors in the course of his Academic career. It was the wish
of the Donor that this sum should be expended in visiting
England, and, if possible, the Continent of Europe. The
recipient is required, upon his return, to present to the
University, to be placed amongst its archives, a History of his
Tour, with a special reference to the .¿Esthetical or Mechanical
and Engineering Arts.

Tully says, Virtue and decency are so nearly related, that it
is difficult to separate them from each other but in our imagination. As beauty of body, with an agreeable carriage, pleases
the eye, and that pleasure consists in that we observe all the
parts with a certain elegance are proportioned to each other ;
so does decency of behaviour which appears in our lives obtain
the approbation of all witb whom we converse, from the order,
consistency, and moderation of our words and actions. This
flows from the reverence we bear towards every good man, and
to the world in general ; for to be negligent of what any one
thinks of you, does not only show you arrogant, but abandoned.
In all these considerations we are to distinguish how one virtue
differs from another. It is the part of justice never to do
violence, it is of modesty never to commit offence. In this last
particular lies the whole force of what is called decency ; to this
purpose that excellent moralist above-mentioned talks of decency ;
but this quality is more easily comprehended by an ordinary
capacity than expressed with all his eloquence.

I. There is something in friendship so very great and noble,
that in those fictitious stories which are invented to the honour
of any particular person, the authors have thought it as necessary
to make their hero a friend as a lover. Achilles has his Patroclus, and .¿apneas his Achates. In the first of these instances
we may observe, for the reputation of the subject I am treating
of, that Greece was almost ruined by the hero's love, but was
preserved by his friendship.
The character of Achates suggests to us an observation we
may often make on the intimacies of great men, who frequently
choose their companions rather for the qualities of the heart than
those of the head, and prefer fidelity in an easy, inoffensive, ·
complying temper, to those endowments which make a much
greater figure among mankind.

he saw the designs of all parties equally tended to the subversion
of liberty, by constantly preserving the esteem and affection of
both the competitors; found means to serve his friends on either
side : and while he sent money to young Marius, whose father
was declared an enemy to the commonwealth, he was himself one
of Sylla's chief favourites, and always near that general.
