CHAIR OF U.S.A. HISTORY
ADVOCATED FOR AUSTRALIA. The suggestion by Professor Alexander of Western Australia, that a Chair of American History or American Civilisation should be established in Australia, has been supported by the Vice-Chancellor of Melbourne University (Mr Medley). “Australia is definitely backward in the study of her Pacific neighbours," said Mr Medley. "In Sydney there are facilities for Oriental study, but Melbourne has made no provision." He added that there was much to be said in support of a plan to have a visiting American professor tour Australian universities instead of having a fixed post. Encouragement of American post-graduate students to study in Australia was an excellent scheme. If it was carried out it would have the effect of improving relations with Australia’s American neighbours.
