NEWS FROM ST PAUL’S COLLEGE UNION
WORLD CHAMPION
EVAN WALKER
During the mid-year vacation fresher evan walker took
on the world in Korea in the ISAF World Youth Sailing
Championships in the Open-Multihull discipline. After 10
races he won the gold medal and on Monday 25 July
returned to College as World Youth Champion, Hobie 16
Evan Walker. He has the congratulations of the whole
Pauline Community.
In the lead up to the regatta Evan had no idea where he
stood as he had no previous experience of international
competition, but realized it was going to be tough. On
arrival in Busan he was surprised how big a deal hosting
the championship was to the Koreans. During the two
days allowed to fine tune their boats he felt uncomfortable
with the boat and his expectations took a downturn.
However, after some tuning of the rudder positions and a
call to his coach in Australia he realised he was back in
the fight. After the opening two days of racing, a
consistent string of results had him positioned at the front
of the fleet, and the quality of the top six teams was
extremely high. The next morning Evan thought his
Number 25
August 2005
chances of winning had all but gone. Pushed over the start
line by his competitors, he returned to the correct side of
the line to restart and was in last place watching the fleet
pulling quickly away. He and his crew Kyle Langford dug
deep to finish 8th, surprising themselves with the speed
they were able to achieve in the building conditions. That
afternoon they started well and led the fleet around every
mark of the course to take their first win of the
championship. The next day all crews struggled for
consistency but the following morning, after a good result,
Evan and Kyle were one point ahead of rivals France and
Great Britain. In the afternoon a heavy fog moved in
across the course, reducing visibility to less than 50m,
bringing an end to racing for the day. That night I woke
frequently with thoughts of the race ahead. Never before
had I been under so much pressure for a regatta win. It
was the world championships and I had to beat both of my
two main rivals and not finish worse than fourth in order
to secure the title. I woke the next day to the same fog. At
the boat park the suspense was incredible. The time
passed slowly until the race committee decided to
abandon racing, giving us the title! A huge weight was
lifted from me.
Australian Team Leader/Coach Brendan Todd, a 1996
Olympian, was impressed by the maturity shown by the
boys. “They had a good positive attitude approaching the
event; they were confident and kept it throughout.”
Council Election Result
At the Council election held on 17 June last Dr Andrew
Blattman (1991-93 & Sub-Warden 1996-98) was reelected as a Fellow, and Bruce McWilliam (1974-79)
elected as a new Fellow. There being a single nomination
for the clerical vacancy, The Rev’d Canon Boak Jobbins
was elected unopposed.
President of Sydney University Union
We congratulate Amit Singh (2001-present, Com/Law 5)
on his election as President of the Sydney University
Union for 2005/06.
....with flair and abandon
These words described the polished performance of The
Madrigal Society’s first semester concert, entitled
Eclectica, in a review written by Oliver Thorn-Seshold
(2004- ) published in Honi Soit. The choir, led by its
charismatic conductor Anthony Phillips (2002-present Arts/Sci Year 4) treated a packed audience to a range of
Renaissance madrigals. The Society will join forces with
SUSO later this year in Mozart’s “Grand” Mass in C
minor K427. New singers are welcome. Contact

RAWSON CUP SPORT
Rowing
The Paul’s VIII turned on an Olympic performance
at the Penrith International Regatta Course in
something under 6 minutes to win by about 20
seconds. Two members of the crew - Andrew
Wilson and Fergus Pragnell – were later selected to
represent Australia in the U23 World Championships
in Amsterdam with a lead-up regatta in Lucerne.
Andrew rowed in the Quad Sculls and Fergus in the
Men’s Eight. Medals eluded them this time, but we
congratulate them on their considerable achievement
of selection to represent their country. Andrew is
currently Chapel Warden, so to quote Goran
Ivanisevic, “God must have been at morning tea”
when he rowed his races.
Swimming
The honours certainly went to Andrew’s who won
every race this year and our men came third.
Cricket
We won our matches against Andrew’s and John’s in
fine style, but were in a shaky position when rain
stopped play against Wesley. Unfortunately, the next
day all the University ovals were being prepared for
winter games so this competition will be completed
on Wednesday 12 October.
Rugby
After a tight, hard-fought match, St Paul's managed
an impressive WIN over Wesley in the final, by the
hefty margin of 37 to 5 (20-0 at half-time!) Eleven of
the team have been playing for Sydney University
this winter: James Austin, Andrew Fairbairn,
Ralph Goninan, Will Hay, Nick Ingate, Tim
Ingate, Alex Low, Andrew McKillop, Tom
Nolasco, Sandy Shannon, Sam Wicks while Hugh
Tancred plays for Norths and Andrew McCarthy
for Gordon.
Soccer
College won the first game, against Andrew’s, in a
shoot-out following a 0-0 draw. We won the next
game 2-0 (vs John’s) during which Jack Manning
Bancroft broke his leg badly, and, in the final game
(vs Wesley) we continued to show great resolve, but
were beaten 2-0 with both goals being scored during
extra time, thus putting us in second place.

College Food
Most older Old Paulines are fairly critical of the
food they were served while they were in residence.
The company of their mates, the mellow gothic
environment in Hall and the wine they drank all
helped them to get by in their experience of really
hard-boiled eggs, watery soup, grey vegetables,
tough steak, and tinned fruit set in green jelly
overpowered by congealed custard. The fruit bowl at
lunchtime looked passable, but the grapes were full
of pips, the pears as hard as rocks, the apples
flowery and the bananas robust in their green
armour.
Most of this has changed – for the good.
These days the food is better, fresher, healthier, full
of variety and the envy of visitors from other
colleges. Old Paulines be reassured: it is still
possible to pass puddings upside-down the length of
a table - or further - without losing them!
The menu repeats itself every four weeks and one of
the weekly sheets is shown on the opposite page.
The menu is drawn up by the on-site staff of
Sodexho in consultation with the Student Club via
the convenorship known as Providore. The on-site
staff have great loyalty to the College and make a
terrific effort to provide a wide variety of enticing
dishes from the culinary traditions of many
countries. They are aware of criticism, work to
overcome it and only resent it if it’s clearly unfair.
At lunchtime men have a choice of a prepared hot
meal of, say, beef stroganoff and rice, or a pasta dish
with salad, or take the chance to create their own
favourite toasted sandwiches using food from the
salad bar – sliced tomatoes, cheese, tuna, salami,
ham, coleslaw, beetroot, olives, onion, etc. to be
followed by cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate or tea
as well as the ubiquitous lime green, raspberry red
and orange cordial! As an all male college we aim to
provide good food for hungry young men.
A random sample of student opinions of College
food:
It’s much better than expected (Final Yr Law).
The food is unreal (a new arrival).
I suppose it’s OK (Grad Law student).
I think it’s really quite good (Grad Med student).
Dogs would like it - but I admit I do too (fresher).
It’s a lot better than most people think and much
better than boarding school food (3rd Yr Arts/Sc).
It’s really good during the week, but don’t go near it
on the weekend! (Final Yr Med).
There’s too much chicken (several men)

BOOMALAKKA
Food provided by any institution is a subject of
constant interest and comment, but there is a great
reluctance for students to praise it when its good,
and it takes only one unpopular meal to generate a
hostile and unforgiving atmosphere amongst them.
Patrons of Victoriana! in recent years will attest to
the high standard of special function food provided
by Sodexho, as would those who have been guests at
some top level University of Sydney functions
which are regularly held at College.
There is much mutual respect between Sodexho and
College men despite the complexity of their dealings
with one another.

Timothy Castle (1980-83) together with Bruce Kercher,
have just edited Dowling’s Select Cases 1828 to 1844:
6
Decisions of the Supreme Court of New South Wales,
which show that indigenous people of the era presented
the kind of problems that no judge in England could have
confronted. Dowling and his colleagues were expected to
apply British law as far as they could, while taking
account of local circumstances, but these court cases
reveal some of the terrible underlying contradictions of
the colonial situation as well as the beginnings of
Australian law. A review of this publication by Prof Alan
Atkinson (1964-67) appeared in SMH July 23-24, 2005.
Duncan Sutherland (1968-71) joined the Rural Fire
Service in 1998 to manage the international program by

Phill Joyce (1993) won the Trance Australia Production
Competition with his single Chiba.
A full list of his music can be found on the internet

Daniel Bills (1998-2000) – formerly a resident tutor in
medicine – is now an accredited general surgical registrar
for the Eastern Health Care Network in Victoria and plans
to marry next March – see notice.
Peter Barnett (1990-94) lives near Oxford and continues
to work in London where he now manages the Legal
Economic & Regulatory Affairs practice of the Gerson
Lehrman Group.
David Hobday (1966-68) was married in 1982 and has a
daughter. After a career in the RAAF and a short spell as
a High School teacher he returned to engineering for two
more years before retiring in 1990. He now lives on the
Central Coast and owns a Hartley TS16 which he sails on
the nearby lakes.
Ben Saul (1995-97) has returned from Oxford where he
lectured at the Refugee Study Centre, trained foreign
diplomats in international law and completed his
doctorate on “Defining Terrorism in International Law”.
Internationally he was a legal expert for the UN
Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinians,
conducted human rights training of Bhutanese refugees in
Nepal for UNHCR, monitored election violence in Sri
Lanka for the ICJ and assisted the UN Human Rights
Committee in Geneva. He is the co-author of Future
Seekers: Refugees and the Law in Australia (Federation
Press, Syd 2002) and is now in the School of Law at the
University of NSW. He has been heavily involved in pro
bono legal work for Amnesty International and the Law
Council of Australia, and has appeared in the media on
issues such as refugees, the invasion and occupation of
Iraq, and the Middle East conflict.
Wylie Breckenridge (1986-89) won a scholarship to
New College Oxford and within weeks of arriving won
the John Locke Prize for Mental Philosophy. When not
running marathons somewhere in Europe, holidaying in
the US, or flirting shamelessly in Starbucks, he has been
reading for a DPhil in philosophy. He is currently writing
his thesis at home in the Riverina.

College History
As we approach our sesquicentenary it is a good time to
remember why scholarships, buildings and various
features of our fabric bear the names of men from the past.
The Dangar Cloisters were given by Henry Cary
Dangar who was elected a Fellow 1865-67. He was the
second son of Henry Dangar (1796-1861), a surveyor of
the Hunter and Manning River districts, an agricultural
pioneer of the Singleton district, a successful businessman
and a parliamentarian (1845-51).
Henry Cary Dangar was educated at Sydney College
(which became Sydney Grammar School) and Cambridge
University before being admitted to the Middle Temple
and the Bar (in London) in 1854. By his father’s will he
inherited the family properties at St Neot in Cornwall but
they had all previously been sold except one cottage so his
mother gave him Grantham, the family home and gothic
mansion designed by Edmund Blacket, at Potts Point. He
was a silent partner in Dangar Brothers, Dangar Gilchrist
and Company and other enterprises, Member for West
Sydney 1874-77, and East Sydney 1880-82. In 1890 he
inherited from his brother, William, a flourishing and
highly developed farm, Neotsfield at Singleton, from
which stock and produce were greatly admired.
A man of generous spirit, he enabled the New South Wales
Rifle Team to compete in Philadelphia, gave us our
cloisters, was a founder and trustee of the Union Club, a
director of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and a
councillor of the NSW Academy of Art. He died at Potts
Point in 1917 survived by four sons and four daughters.[If
any descendants of HC Dangar have attended College we
would be interested to hear of (or from) them. – Ed]
Charles Victor Salisbury (1921-27) left the University
without graduating to seek medical qualifications at the
Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. A Fellow from
1951 to 1987, he practised as an obstetrician and
gynaecologist in Macquarie Street. On his death in 1987
his will enabled (inter alia) the addition of two more arches
to the Dangar Cloisters and the construction of the
Salisbury Bar alongside the College wine cellar beneath
the Dining Hall. In old age Charles took up residence in
August 2005
College and acquired a BA and a BEc to add to his other
qualifications.
The Blacket Wing is the oldest part of the College
buildings and is named in honour of Edmund Thomas
Blacket (1817-1883) who designed it as well as the Dining
Hall, Rogers Room, Jnr Common Room, Fellows
Common Room, kitchen and Senior Tutor’s
accommodation. Eminent architect and academic, Morton
Herman (whose excellent book The Blackets – An era of
Australian Architecture, A&R 1963, is the source of these
notes) rated Blacket the greatest architect Australia has
produced: Greenway’s work, important as it was, extended
over six brief years, and only ten of his buildings remain.
Edmund Blacket, on the other hand, worked in this country
for forty years – from 1843 to 1883 – during which period
he was Colonial Architect, private practitioner, and an
important citizen. Among the unnumbered buildings he
designed are sections of the University of Sydney and
Melbourne [Trinity Coll], and four cathedrals. He
designed schools [incl the extensions to both ends of the
original Sydney College from which sprang both Sydney
Grammar School and the University of Sydney], hospitals,
colleges, convents, lighthouses, commercial buildings and
nearly fifty churches. Scores of his buildings remain in use
to this day, and they are a delight to the eye.
Best known to many Paulines are the College Dining Hall,
the Great Hall and quadrangle where they received their
degrees, St Mark’s Church Darling Point where many
were married, christened or ‘dispatched’, Christ Church St
Laurence George Street, St Andrew’s Cathedral, St Peter’s
Watson’s Bay, Bishopscourt Darling Point, St Barnabas’
Church Broadway, All Saints Woollahra and the Prince of
Wales Hospital Randwick.
Edmund Blacket and his wife Sarah came from England in
1842 to escape parental disapproval of their marriage.
After sailing up Sydney Harbour upon arrival Edmund
wrote of his delight with all the points and coves of this
magnificent harbour and I thought I would never see so
exquisite a scene. In March 1843 he took possession of a
room as a studio in which to work in the crypt of St James’
Church King Street until more suitable space could be
found. Contemporary documents, letters, and plans that
bring Blacket into focus as a man and an architect reveal a
quiet, well-mannered, hard-working man of delicate
constitution but tremendous talent living in a stimulating
time of progress and change, and in a nation wealthy from
primary production and gold in glittering piles dug from
some of the world’s richest fields. There is no record
anywhere of a word written or spoken against him as a
man either during his life or that of people who knew him
and long outlived him. All such people spoke of him only
in terms of highest praise. There is one contemporary
instance of an attack, not on his character, but on the
quality of his work. This, however, was almost certainly
made by a jealous architect filled with bitterness, as
architects will be when another finishes or alters their
work.
Of St Paul’s College, Morton Herman wrote: .though both
Gothic Revival buildings, it differs in character from the
main [University] buildings. Paul’s looks a most liveable
college, and it thus demonstrates Blacket’s sense of fitness
in the psychological effect of design.

Three cheers for Mrs Barker…
On Monday 28 May 1855 the Provost of the University, Sir
Charles Nicholson, took the Bishop of Sydney, Bishop
Barker and Mrs Barker to inspect 6 acres of land – now part
of St Paul’s College – as a suitable site for a residence for
the Bishop. In a letter to her sister, Mrs J Clay, written on 1
June 1855, Mrs Barker wrote:
On Monday we went with Sir Charles Nicholson in
his carriage to look at the site purchased for the
Bishop’s residence. It was a disagreeable day with
high winds and clouds of dust. The road led through
a poor suburb of the town to an eminence about a
mile-and-a-half distant. Very barren, without trees,
a plot of six acres railed around, on the roadside.
The view extensive and bare, looking upon the ugly
side of Sydney. Not a glimpse of the beautiful
harbour. In short, as undesirable a spot as could
have been fixed upon and Frederick has protested
against it. Happily, the land is valuable and will
sell for £6000 or be exchanged for some other more
eligible spot. Everybody thinks as we do about
it….We would rather be as we are (i.e. without even
a temporary home) than see a house waiting to
receive us on the spot I have described to you.
It is possible that Sir Charles Nicholson wanted the Barkers
to reject the site, otherwise the St Paul’s land would have
been practically useless. Not since Bishop Broughton had
been, and Bishop Barker was to be (possibly already was)
an enemy of the University, did he want the Bishop on the
University’s doorstep.
PLEASE THROW MODESTY ASIDE AND TELL THE PAULINE COMMUNITY WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING!
