It houses about 220 [[undergraduate]] students and about 80 [[quaternary education|postgraduate]] students and tutors. The college is named after [[John Henry Newman]], a major figure in the [[Oxford Movement]] who became a Catholic in the 19th century. Although affiliated with the University of Melbourne, a small number of students attend the [[Australian Catholic University]], [[RMIT University]] and [[Monash University]]'s Parkville and city campuses.
'''Newman College''' is an Australian [[Roman Catholic]] [[coeducation|co-educational]] [[residential college]] affiliated with the [[University of Melbourne]]. It houses about 225 [[undergraduate]] students and about 55 [[quaternary education|postgraduate]] students and tutors.


The college is named after [[John Henry Newman]], a former Anglican and major figure in the [[Oxford Movement]] who became a Catholic in the 19th century. Although affiliated with the University of Melbourne, a small number of students attend the [[Australian Catholic University]], [[RMIT University]] and [[Monash University]]'s Parkville campus.
The collegiate system at the University of Melbourne was a response to the [[University of Melbourne#History|secular nature]] of the university. Upon the foundation of the university in 1854, each of the four major Christian denominations were granted land at the north of the Parkville campus to accommodate students and teach theology. Newman continues to embody the [[Oxbridge]] tutorial system, running its own tutorials - including one-on-one consultations with academics - for first year students and any student requiring additional support.


The college motto is ''Luceat Lux Vestra'', translated from Latin as "Let Your Light Shine".

== Scholarships and bursaries ==
===Formal dinners===
Newman awards financial aid in the form of scholarships and bursaries to around 75% of residents. Scholarships are awarded to both domestic and international students, of total value of up to $10,000.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Aldons |first=Anushka |date=2022-10-20 |title=Newman College Scholarships |url=https://scholarships.unimelb.edu.au/awards/newman-college-scholarships |access-date=2023-07-25 |website=The University of Melbourne Scholarships |language=en}}</ref>
Formal dinners are held at 6:30 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on most weeks of the academic year. Attendance is not mandatory, however all members of the college must wear an academic gown. There are occasions during the academic year with a [[Dress code (Western)#Formal|black tie dress code]], including the Students' Club, Valete and Commencement dinners. At formal dinners, students stand in place prior to the arrival of the members of high table - the rector, members of the SCR and invited guests - who process in after sherry prior to dinner. It is considered discourteous to leave the hall before the end of dinner. Formal dinners are followed by brief students' club meetings in the coffee lounge.

Newman College is an Australian Roman Catholic co-educational residential college affiliated with the University of Melbourne. It houses about 225 undergraduate students and about 55 postgraduate students and tutors.

The college is named after John Henry Newman, a former Anglican and major figure in the Oxford Movement who became a Catholic in the 19th century. Although affiliated with the University of Melbourne, a small number of students attend the Australian Catholic University, RMIT University and Monash University's Parkville campus.

The college motto is Luceat Lux Vestra, translated from Latin as "Let Your Light Shine".

Student life

[edit]

Facilities

[edit]

The majority of undergraduates live in the Carr and Mannix wings, which flank the domed dining room and are connected by a parapet. Undergraduates also live in the balcony rooms in Donovan wing, and in Fleming House at 950 Swanston St. Graduate students are accommodated in a variety of terrace houses opposite the college on Swanston St and in self-contained apartments behind the Donovan wing.

Students' Club

[edit]

All undergraduate members of Newman College are accepted into the Newman College Students' Club, a self-governing incorporated organisation which runs day-to-day and special events in the college. A general committee is elected annually. The portfolios include vice-president, secretary, community service, culture, equity and female and male sports representatives.

Postgraduates

[edit]

All members of the college administration, as well as tutors, academics in residence and postgraduate students (and some senior undergraduate students), comprise the Senior Common Room (SCR). Like the Students' Club, the SCR annually elect a president, secretary and treasurer, among other portfolios, to organise several events throughout the year.

Co-curricular activities

[edit]

The college places a strong emphasis on participation in co-curricular activities, with music, sport and the dramatic arts playing a large role in life at Newman. Soirées are held many times throughout the year, showcasing the talents of the students, with the Peter L'Estrange SJ Prize awarded to the best performing artist in college. The Michael Scott SJ Prize is the annual art competition. The Albert Power SJ Medallion for Debating is named after Newman's second rector, Albert Power SJ. The Choir of Newman College, established in 2002, is a chapel and concert choir.[1]

Newman has a strong sporting culture, having won more than half of the intercollegiate football premierships ever played. The college is also a strong participant in intercollegiate art, music and culture events, winning the 2022 Intercollegiate Culture Cup.

Scholarships and bursaries

[edit]

Newman awards financial aid in the form of scholarships and bursaries to around 75% of residents. Scholarships are awarded to both domestic and international students, of total value of up to $10,000.[2]

Newman applicants may also apply for the University of Melbourne Residential College Access Scholarship, which supports Indigenous students and regional students from a disadvantaged financial background to stay in college during their degree.[3]

Public seminars

[edit]

The college hosts regular Irish studies seminars which are open to the public.

Archbishop Daniel Mannix Memorial Lecture

[edit]

The Archbishop Daniel Mannix Memorial Lecture was started by the Students' Club in 1977 and is a highlight of the university and college calendar. It is named in honour of the third Archbishop of Melbourne, Daniel Mannix, who was a driving force behind the formation of the college and for improving the opportunities of Catholic students.

The second lecture, by Sir Zelman Cowen, also marked the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the foundation of Newman College.[4] His lecture was later republished as a book on Sir Isaac Isaacs by Melbourne University Press in 1979.[5] Similarly, Sir Bernard Callinan's lecture was later published as a book on Sir John Monash.[6][7]

Past lecturers have included Malcolm Fraser, Kim Beazley, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Patrick Dodson, Ita Buttrose, Sir Gustav Nossal, Alexander Downer, Manning Clark, Peter Garrett, Christine Nixon, Justice Alastair Nicholson and Tanya Plibersek.[8]

The original set of campus buildings were built during 1916 to 1918 and were designed by American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin. The Burley Griffins also designed furniture for the college, including distinctive chairs, tables and bookshelves for the dining room and the original bedrooms of the college. Much of this furniture remains in day to day use at the college, but some of it has found its way into various art galleries and private collections.[16] This was recognised by its inclusion on the Australian National Heritage List on 21 September 2005, citing "one of the best examples of Griffin’s architecture in Australia" and "Newman College is significant as an outstanding expression of Griffin’s architectural style".[17] The stonework has had substantial renovation to repair over 80 years of damage through exposure and natural degradation of the original stone and received the Australian Institute of Architects (Victorian Chapter) Heritage Architecture Award 2010.[15]

Allan & Maria Myers Academic Centre

[edit]

The Allan & Maria Myers Academic Centre is a library shared by St Mary's College and Newman College. It is open to students 24 hours a day. It offers a program of public events and hosts several special collections that are available to researchers.[18]

The centre houses the Newman College Irish collection (O'Donnell Collection), which was formed in 1924 with a bequest to the college. It originally consisted of around 700 books and 300 pamphlets, many in the Irish language, which were the personal library of Nicholas O’Donnell, a Melbourne Irish language scholar of the early 20th century. Around half the collection consists of historical works. The rest deals with language, literature, biography, religion, politics, description and travel, with some works on music and a few on education.

Every year an O'Donnell Fellowship is bestowed on a visiting scholar so that the holder may do research in the O'Donnell Collection.

Administration

[edit]

At its opening in 1918 the administration of the college was entrusted to the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) who continue its administration to the present day.

The college council, chaired by the Archbishop of Melbourne, oversees the governance of the college. Members include the Rector, the other three diocesan bishops of Victoria (Sandhurst, Ballarat and Sale dioceses), college alumni and members of the university. Members are appointed by the Archbishop. Each year the Provost selects two students to be members as student representatives. The presidents of the Students' Club and SCR are observers who reports to the council on the life of the college.

The college council has instituted the positions of provost, deputy provost, dean of studies and dean of students to oversee the everyday administration of the college. The Provost is the official head of the college. These positions are currently held by:

  • Rector: The Very Reverend Daniel Madigan SJ
  • Provost: Dr. Guglielmo Gottoli
  • Deputy Provost: Rebecca Daley
  • Dean of Studies: Dr. Mitch Robertson
  • Dean of Students: Alicia Deak

The college chaplain and operations manager are also members of the college administration.
