University Council subsequently received a report from the University Year Committee recommending the continued promotion of the University’s bond with the community through activities such as a public lecture series and a ‘University Day'. It was proposed that an occasional address should be given by a notable speaker, on a topic usually of current concern to tertiary education.
In 1976 it was proclaimed that University Day would be held on the second Friday in August each year (in anniversary of the first meeting of the Chancellor's Council), and on that day the annual lecture would be presented. The first University Day was held on 13 August that year. In August 1985 University Day celebrations were combined with a special Graduation Ceremony to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the establishment of UOW.

Sir John Monash - Monash University. Sir John Monash “…equip yourself for life, not solely for your own benefit but for the benefit of the whole community.” – Sir John Monash The University takes its name from Sir John Monash, a famous Australian who contributed to almost every level of Australian life. Not only do we carry Sir John's name, we also take inspiration from his philosophy, as captured by the quotation at the top of this page. He was a man who used education to turn his natural talent into ability, allowing him to realise his daring ambitions.
Our motto, Ancora Imparo ("I am still learning"), captures the essence of his approach to life, a life you can read more about below. The boy John Monash was born in West Melbourne on 27 June 1865 to German-Polish Jewish parents. As a child, he attended St Stephen's Church of England School in Richmond, Melbourne, for three years.

Sir George Fisher CMG (b. 1903), mining industry executive, began work at the Zinc Corporation at Broken Hill in 1925 after having completed a mining engineering degree in Adelaide. Apart from a period in Darwin during the war, he spent many years on the Zinc Corporation production line before rising to the surface as the company's General Manager and Director in 1945.
By 1952 he was a leading figure in Australian mining and moved to Mount Isa to head Mount Isa Mines Ltd. During his period as Chairman of MIM up to 1975, output increased from 1500 to 18000 tonnes per day, and he was delighted to see Mount Isa turn from a town into an orderly inland city (a colleague said of Fisher in 1959 that 'he thinks and dreams Mt Isa').
Fisher was one of the founders of the Australian Mining Industry Council (now the Minerals Council of Australia), serving as its inaugural President in 1967, the year in which his knighthood was conferred.
