Series 6 Canberra University College, 1953-60
Canberra University College, which was affiliated
with the University of Melbourne, took its first students in 1930. Most of the
students were public servants and all were part-timers. After the War, funding
for the College was increased significantly. In January 1949 Herbert Burton
was appointed Principal and Professor of Economic History and his immediate
task was the appointment of new staff. His first appointment was Clark, who
arrived in Canberra in September 1949 to take up the first chair of History.
He remained in this position until 1960, when the College amalgamated with the
Australian National University.
There are relatively few papers on Clark’s work as a teacher
or on Canberra University College generally. Most of the papers relate to meetings
of Australian historians in 1955-58.
