Souvenir Edition Australian Catholic University 'The Chronicle'
1 May 1992
Australian Catholic University 'The Chronicle' Vol 1 No 1 May 1992 Souvenir Edition. The establishment of the Australian Catholic University had its foundation in the Institute of Catholic Education (later styled the State College of Victoria - The Institute of Catholic Education). Shane Stone was appointed the first Administrative Officer of the Institute in 1973, the forerunner to the role of Registrar. In that capacity, he acted as the Secretary to the Council Chaired by Sir Bernard Callinan. The early pioneers of Catholic Post Secondary Education (not an exclusive list) included Sir Bernard, Father George Pell (later Bishop, Archbishop and Cardinal), Fr. Eric Darcy (Reader in Philosophy Melbourne University, later Bishop and Archbishop), Sister Marie Kehoe RSM (most impressive nun who could hold her own against anyone), Brother Jim Noonan, Brother Patrick aka 'Spud' Murphy ('great man' who was in the Christian Brothers with Les Stone aka Brother Fabian Stone), Dr. Beth Blackall (worked with Les Stone in curriculum development), Dr. Bernie Daffey and Chairman of the Melbourne Tribunal Father Francis Harman (Parish Priest of Clifton Hill, canon lawyer and formidable intellectual). Shane Stone left the Institute to commence enrolment in law at the Australian National University in 1975. At the time of the University launch, he was Minister for Education and Training in the Northern Territory and was not able to attend however a Souvenir Edition was his way sent to mark the occasion. Shane Stone considers his brief interlude at the Institute of Catholic Education as amongst the most important periods in his work history.
