1957 ANU COMPLIMENT SLIPS

The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies required the Canberra College of Melbourne University (in the wooden huts near Civic) to amalgamate with the postgraduate ANU so that it could be a full university similar to all the other states.

It would be known as ANU but with undergraduate and research schools – School of General Studies and the existing Research Schools.

The ANU arms I always thought as being ill proportioned and top-heavy around 1963 when the Chancellery was built I managed to change the bronze arms that adorn the Chair in the Council Room – the Mills Room.

This structure has changed since I left the ANU in 1977.
