| 説明 | The University of Adelaide.Its origins go back to the Union College founded in 1871 as a theological college for Presbyterian, Baptist and Congregational churches. When seeking funds for the College the tutors (all ministers) met with Sir Walter Watson Hughes who had made his fortune as an investor in the Moonta copper mines and pastoralism. He told them he had £20,000 to £30,000 available for education. This was too much money for the Union College to handle so they considered a secular university. Bishop Short was invited to preside over a committee to seek legislative support and more funds for the foundation of a university. This new association accepted a donation of £20,000 from Sir Walter Watson Hughes in 1872. The association requested a grant of four to five acres of land from the government on North Terrace and £10,000 in cash provided the same amount was raised by public subscription. The parliament passed agreeing legislation in 1874 with the Adelaide University Act. With the enactment of this legislation the association dissolved itself and a University Council was created. At the first meeting of the new University Council Bishop Sort was elected as Vice Chancellor with the Chief Justice Sir Richard Davies as Chancellor. Bishop Short gave the inaugural address of the university in 1876 which was most appropriate given his great commitment to education. He appealed for more donations to start the university buildings although Hughes, Sir Thomas Elder and George Five Angas had already donated generously. The first degrees were conferred in 1877. At that meeting the Council awarded the very first degree from the Adelaide University to Augustus short for all of his work on bringing the university into being. Bishop Short was awarded a Masters of Arts. Eighty nine other graduates received degrees that day. They had studied at the Teachers Training School in Grote Street. Tenders were accepted the construction of the university buildings in 1879 and the first buildings opened in 1880 with the last buildings finished in 1882. The buildings had cost over £34,000. But by the time the last buildings opened Bishop Augustus Short had already returned to England. Public subscription paid for a bust to be made of Bishop Short which sits in Bonython Hall. |
