Celebrating a 100 year Partnership

An exhibition celebrating the centenary of theofficial affiliation between Roseworthy Agri-cultural College and the University of Ade-laide will be open to the public from August9th at the Roseworthy Campus of the Univer-sity of Adelaide.

In 1905, at the initiative of the then Principal,Professor Arthur James Perkins, Roseworthy Collegebecame affiliated with the University of Adelaide. Formany years students in the Faculty of AgriculturalScience spent their second years at the College andtook selected Diploma lectures.

A change in 1944 saw the College giving speciallectures for about one quarter of the University course.In 1956 a new course for the degree in AgriculturalScience began in which work taken at RoseworthyCollege comprises one day a week in Third Year and,in Fourth Year, 1½ days per week for students takingAnimal Husbandry II.

Students in Agricultural Science were required to havecertain experience in farm work, some of which couldbe undertaken at Roseworthy College. Men holdingthe R.D.A. could pass through the degree course inthree years.

Matriculation.—-Men who held the R.D.A. with hon-ours could thereby matriculate at the University ofSydney in the faculties of Agriculture and VeterinaryScience. At the University of Adelaide, the Diplomawith honours did not guarantee matriculation but couldbe regarded as ensuring special consideration by theMatriculation Board for the applicant concerned.

FROM THE PRESIDENT

This issue of the Digest is again filled with thecurrent activities of ROCA. TheCommittee has received gratify-ing comments about recent is-sues. Our interaction with Rose-worthy and University officialscontinues at a high and produc-tive level. The recent constitu-tional changes of the Alumni Association (seePage 7) enables ROCA to continue working formutual benefit while better allowing us to continuewith our own activities.December 7th 2005 marks the centenary of affilia-tion between Roseworthy Agricultural College andThe University of Adelaide. On that date in 1905 aformal arrangement was put in place for the uni-versity to recognise the academic achievements ofRoseworthy graduates and for Roseworthy toteach students enrolled in university agriculturalscience courses, the latter arrangement continuinguntil the 1960’s. This occasion is being celebratedby a display set up by the University Archives. Itwas launched in the Barr-Smith Library in May, isnow at the Information Centre on Roseworthycampus, and will be featured at the AustralianWine Centre in December.

We are most concerned about the costs of produc-tion and distribution of the Digest. Members willbe aware that their $60 life time membership fee isnow rapidly eroded in meeting operational costs.While there is no crisis, your Committee is assess-ing future funding so that the way ahead is sound.

The Committee is reluctant to change the existingfee structure. The response to members’ voluntarycontributions to supplement ROCA costs launchedin 2003 has been very good. Further contributionswill be welcomed.

As a result of an in depth membership analysis(see Page 5), we note that recent graduates aredown in our numbers. We are undertaking a strate-gic plan to recruit new members over the next 5years.

Member support and encouragement in recruit-ment is welcomed.

Graduate Networks as Opportunities for ROCAHere’s a couple of Graduate Network opportunities!!!And there’s another on Page 4.

1955 GRADUATES

Can we make up a group to celebrate 50 years sincegraduation?

Please mark your Dinner acceptances clearly 1955, andI will liaise with our Treasurer to get the group to-gether. See you there. Wilf Bowen 08 8293 3022

HELP

Tony Clancy, one of the RAC group starting in 1964,says that last year this group got together for the firsttime since 1992.

There has apparently between good contact amongthe group but Tony is keen for compatriot John Cooperto contact him.

Tony's address is 41 Eton Rd, Somerton Park 5044.

And Tony's request prompts another.

It is obvious to ROCA that many "years", includingTony's meet frequently, or less so. Regardless, theDigest would like to hear from coordinators aboutupcoming reunions, what happened including photos,and the aftermath.

For example, we know that august body of men, TheYear of ''61, and their partners, are meeting at theNational Wine Centre in Adelaide from 5 pm onNovember 18. When the photos are developed theDigest would be more than happy to publish one, ormore.

AWARD OF MERIT

The Committee will welcome nominations for the 2006Award of Merit, which should be in the hands of theCommittee by 30th June, 2006.

Details of guidelines and nomination procedures willbe found on the ROCA Website at:-

<http://www.roseworthy.adelaide.edu.au/Campus/ROCA/index.html>

LOST MEMBERS

By various means we gain current addresses for mem-bers with whom we have lost touch, but, despite ourbest endeavours, there are still between 400 & 500ROCA members whose whereabouts are unknown tothe Committee. Some of these may well be deceased.

In the coming months we plan to list these members onthe website in the hope that they can be located.

1958 GRADUATESsubmitted by Ross Solly

In 1955 a group of some 30+ individuals first passedthe scrutiny of Mr Ridley’s statue, eventually gellinginto the graduating year of 1958.

Thirteen membersand wives met,reminisced andhad dinner at theChateau BarossaMotel at Lyn-doch, aptly on thelongest night ofthe year, i.e. June21st 2005. The

prize for coming thelongest distance wasawarded to Ian and CarolDonald from Brisbane,though Simon and JaneFletcher from the NewEngland area, were travelweary as well.

Jack Goode was insparkling form as he asked

Bob Robins to give aToast to the College.Many added their own re-sponses and proceedingsdid degenerate. Manyshowed their advancingyears as they were in bedby midnight, which wouldnot have happened somefifty years ago.

After breakfast, the groupdrove to the College and wefirst heard the chime fromthe clock tower. We hadcoffee in the Dining Room,walked up to the Farm andreminisced some more. Wethen adjourned to DocLeitch’s Pub, had lunch andfor most, a first legal drinkthere.

Following lunch, we wentour own ways, promising torepeat the situation in a fewyears’ time.

Selected extract from ROCA Constitution

5.2.1 Ordinary Life MemberSubject to the approval of the Committee of the Asso-ciation and upon payment of all prescribed fees thefollowing persons may become Life Members:5.2.1.1 Students who have received tuition at theCampus for the equivalent of one academic year;5.2.1.3 Agricultural Science Graduates and Non-Graduates of the Adelaide University prior to 1956;

Until 1989 it was a straightforward matter to satisfyClause 5.2.1.1., as every graduate had spent at leastone academic year at the College. Even those who didnot graduate usually were covered by the clause.However, since 1990 a couple of issues have made itmore difficult to identify those who satisfy Clause5.2.1.1.Many of the courses are no longer tied to a particularcampus, so that graduates are not classified by theUniversity in any way that lines up with Clause5.2.1.1.In addition, prior to 1990 there was one graduationceremony, held at Roseworthy, which all graduatesattended. Now, there can be up to four ceremonies inany one year.

The following chart shows the numbers of graduatesrecruited from each graduating year with their esti-

mated ages at the present. The spike of 195 is the1991 graduate group who are now about 36 years old.Your Management Committee is addressing this mat-ter, and has appointed a sub-committee to conductappropriate research. This group, headed by PeterDay, has come up with a Five Year Plan to address thematter.This was considered at an extraordinary meeting of theManagement Committee held on Monday 8th August.

While this is a complicated matter requirng continuedattention, the Committee has decided to take immedi-ate steps in attempts to broaden the scope toward theexpansion of ROCA membership.

These include:-• targeting graduating classes through direct

contact, attendance at dinners and in mailouts,

• focussing on 10 and 25 year graduates, and• accessing graduate networks

The following chart shows the raw numbers compari-son between total graduates in a number of disciplinesand the number of ROCA members gleaned from them.

Now, that same data expressed as percentages.

The Committee is committed to exploring all avenuesof ensuring that;

• ROCA garners as many members as possiblefrom each graduating year,

• every effort is made to persuade existing non-member graduates and Roseworthy attendees tojoin, and,

• ROCA provides worthwhile incentives for be-coming a member.

There is no doubt that our readers have many ideas onthe nature of ROCA, its purposes and its bases formembership. If so, please contact a member of theCommittee and pass on those thoughts.

See Page 4. for contact details for the Committee.

AN END TO MULESING ?

Readers who saw the 21/8/05 edition of LandLine onABC Television will, no doubt, have opinions aboutthe US-based group "People for the Ethical Treatment

of Animals" [PETA],and their campaignagainst the Australianwool industry. This de-bate will not be can-vassed here, except toreport that Ian McLach-lan of Australian WoolInnovation stated thatthe Australian wool in-dustry has an absolutewill to get rid of

mulesing [as currently practised] by 2010, and before,if possible. At the same time he reaffirmed that AWIwould proceed with legal action against PETA, despitethe decision by the minority group, Australian WoolGrowers, to do a deal with PETA.

However, two matters arose from that program thatdeserve reporting in such a publication as this. Both ofthese issues relate to the possibility of dispensing withthe traditional Mules operation.

The first concerns information from Neil Smith onCalcookara Station, Eyre Peninsula. Three years agoNeil and his wife Pat noticed a couple of rams withabsence of wool in the breech. So naturally, they werenamed Kojak and Garrett, the "bare-bottom" boys.Kojak's bare area extends right down inside the leg andup to the anal area, with the scrotum being completelybald. Garrett has a little more wool in the breech, butit is easily pulled out.

Professor Phil Hynd, Director of Roseworthy Cam-pus, is almost certain this is an inherited characteristic,which means that mating bare-breeched rams withbare-breeched ewes shouldproduce bare-breeched off-spring. "Unfortunately a ge-netic alternative to mulesingwill take time - years, maybeeven decades to flowthrough the entire Australianflock," Professor Hynd said.

In the meantime, however,he has another promisingproject on the go, which it'shoped, will provide a solution much sooner. "It's basedon a discovery that came out of pure science in ourlaboratory," said Professor Hynd. "We found a proteinwhich seems to have the same effect as mulesing. Itcauses the skin to contract and to enlarge the bare area

around the breech, which is what we need."

The protein is called collagenase. It is a naturallyoccurring enzyme, but the injection of large doses intothe skin breaks down the collagen in the skin, formingscar tissue and contracting the region.

Professor Hynd was then asked whether he reallybelieved he had discovered an alternative to mulesing."Yes, we have," he said,"but it's still in the re-search phase. We need asimple applicator. Weneed to prove that itworks in all conditions,in all sheep types and indifferent environments.It's a big ask, and that'swhy mulesing hasn'tbeen replaced yet."

There are at least four applicators being produced bymanufacturers, and field trials are expected to begin inOctober. While some of the factors getting this processto market are completely out of Phil Hynd's hands, heis really feeling the pressure to make it work.

The Alumni Board is supported with resources andpersonnel from the University’s Development andAlumni office.

Stop Press: The Alumni Association has undertaken amajor update of its constitution. This was approved bythe University Council on August 2nd 2005. As ROCAis an incorporated body, it is now recognised as anAffiliated body. This will not change the close workingrelationship with the university and Alumni Associa-tion and enables ROCA to continue with its otherinterests.

ROCA STUDENT PRIZESThe ROCA Annual student prizes for 2004 were awarded at recent prize giving ceremonies.For the first time the School of Environmental and Earth Sciences had a prize giving ceremony. Held at the AdelaideZoo on May 30th, winners, parents, friends and staff were addressed by Mr Ed McAllister AO. The Annual ROCAGold Medal goes to the candidate who, on completing the degree Bachelor ofNatural Resource Management, is in the opinion of the Faculty the mostdistinguished of the students graduating from the program. ROCA presidentMark Seeliger presented this award to Nicole Zeoli. She is now employed inthe natural resource management program at Murray Bridge.

The School of Agriculture and Wine again held its ceremony at the NationalWine Centre on June 9th.

University Archives Volunteer GroupRoseworthy Subgroup

As you may already know a group of volunteers fromROCA are working on the University ofAdelaide's archival collection which includes variousdocuments plus numerous unlabelled, undated and un-named photographs from the last 100 years. Rosewor-thy's "The Student" and other college magazines arean invaluable source of information and especiallyuseful in identifying photographs.

Some of those who have been helpful and have gener-ously donated magazines include Rex Krause, BrianCondon, Dave Suter and Rex Butterfield.

We would now like to fill in the remaining gaps in theUniversity archives collection and would gratefullyaccept donations of original magazines for the follow-ing:

all years up to and including 193719411952 and 195919631972 - 1976 inclusiveall copies from 1978 with the exception of1988

If you do not wish to donate your copy but are willingto lend it to us to photocopy, it would be greatlyappreciated.

Tracking Roseworthy Graduates by Denys Slee

I knew my father went to Roseworthy but wasn’t sureof the year he graduated.

So what to do? Perhaps ring around and see if anyfamily members could help or alternatively, go to thecollege (now university campus) and look on theboards in the dining room.

Neither of these was necessaryas the query was solved with onephone call to University of Ade-laide Reference Archivist, HelenBruce, who told me that ClemSlee graduated in 1939 with anRDA.

It is this type of query that Helenis handling since the first complete list of graduateswas finalised earlier this year – a list containing thenames of more than 4,000 graduates from 1886 to2003.

Former ROCA president, Wilf Bowen, Sue Coppinfrom the University Archives and ROCA Digest Edi-tor, Ron Tuckwell, were the driving forces behind thismajor work which will be a very useful record forROCA and the University. And information on it is

also in demand from individuals.

“Most of the people seeking information are involvedin family history searches,” Helen said. “I have hadqueries for information as far back as 1907.”

Helen said that not only was information availableabout those who have graduated but also who enrolledbut left for one reason or another before graduation.This latter data is held in student enrolment records atthe university.

“Then there has been a request for the complete list ofgraduates,” Helen said.

“This isn’t available yet as some of the data is beingfine-tuned but once we are satisfied that it is correct aspossible, consideration will be given to putting it onthe University’s Website. There won’t be any privacyconsiderations as the names of graduates and the yearthey graduated is a matter of public record anyway.”

IDENTIFYING THE UNKNOWN

The photo shown here is one of hundreds being added tothe archives at the University of Adelaide – all thephotos having some connection to Roseworthy College.

The work is being done by a team of ex-graduates whomeet on Tuesday’s at the University’s North Terracecampus. In this labor of love they have had to use manyand varied techniques to have people and places shownin the photos identified.

One of these is to copy a photo and send it to a personwho is recognised and ask that person to identify the“unknowns”. This was the case with the photo accompa-nying this article where mid-1960s students NickBrooks and Vic Patrick were identified at an RAC sports

day but not so a runner in one of the events. A copy ofthe photo was sent to Nick who, while helping with theidentification process, revealed that he had some memo-rabilia which might be useful for the archives.

Nick also said that PIRSA in Mt Gambier was holdinga box of Roseworthy-linked material which is thought tobe associated with the operations of the former south-east sub-branch of ROCA.

Nick has offered to collect the material when he is nextin the south-east and bring it to the University forclassification.

As mentioned in the last Digest, volunteer Dick Flowerhas spent his Tuesday afternoons assembling as manycopies of the “Student” magazine as possible. A call formissing copies made in the “Student” has been heededby readers and these copies, and previously existingones, are an invaluable resource for the archival work -many of the photos awaiting identification having beenpublished in the magazine.

Another facet of the identification process occurredwhen volunteer Andrew Brown arranged for retiredlecturers Rex Krause, Milton Spurling and David Suterto visit the University. There they were shown dozens of

photos awaiting identification and enthusiastically wentabout their work.

And of course, there are the readers of the “Digest” whohave been of significant assistance when we have pub-lished pics of people and places not familiar to thevolunteers. Readers like Ruth Robinson of Jamestown,Ian Hickinbotham of Williamstown, Victoria, MichaelBrajkovich and Bob Knappstein in New Zealand, JohnEllis of Newham, Victoria, Tony Clancy in Adelaide andTig Donellan in Katherine, NT.

So keep up the good work – here are more pics. Pleaseput names to the faces and contact Digest editor RonTuckwell on 8863 3013, or <[email protected]>
