Series 5 University of Melbourne, 1937-49
Clark enrolled at the University of Melbourne as an undergraduate
in March 1934 and was a student at Trinity College. He completed the course
in 1937, gaining a first class honours degree in History. He returned
to the University in 1944 as a lecturer in Political Science and later
History, a post he held until he moved to Canberra in 1949.
There are very few papers for this period, but the lectures
and lists of sources document the beginnings of Clark’s interest
in Australian history.
