This is an insight into undergraduate life and thinking at Australia's oldest university, where conflicting political ideas found expression on campus. Included are articles and reports of meetings from student magazines and the press, as well as anecdotes and lively undergraduate wit.
This history describes the strains and scarcities of the war years, and the contributions the university made to the war in military intelligence and radar. Documents the stress of the post-war years, and the way in which the university coped with the influx of returned soldiers. Also describes the later expansion and achievements of the university, and its responses to changing times and external government pressure, the variety of fields of scholarship and teaching programs, and the increased volume of research. The authors are academics associated with the University of Sydney, and have published widely on Australian history and education.
