Founded in 1856 by an 1854 act of the New South Wales Legislative Council, it is Australia's oldest university college. St Paul's is familiarly referred to as "Paul's", its residents as "Paulines" and its alumni as "Old Paulines". The college has nearly 200 residents, of whom about 150 are undergraduates; the remainder are graduates undertaking further study or holding university positions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = St Paul's College )〕 It retains most of its original grant and has its own oval and tennis and basketball courts. ==History== St Paul's was one of the two earliest university colleges in the Australian colonies along with Christ College, Hobart, which was founded in 1846. Its development followed an unsuccessful attempt by members of the Anglican church to incorporate the earlier St James's College within the new University of Sydney, and was led by Sir Alfred Stephen (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = St Paul's College )〕 The college is independent of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, although the warden must be an ordained Anglican clergic. There are 18 fellows, six of whom must be Anglican clergy and 12 laymen. Fellows serve six-year, renewable terms and are elected by graduates of the college who have spent at least three semesters in residence. The Reverend Canon Ivan Head has governed the college as warden since 1995. The college is an independent body corporate, legally designated as "The Warden and Fellows of St Paul's College". Founded to promote liberal Anglicanism, St Paul’s College is the oldest community in Australia possessed of a single continuing intellectual tradition. The ongoing liveliness of that tradition and its impact beyond the Church is due to the way old forms are used to engage new energies. It relies on hierarchy but also on collective decision-making, or collegiality. It is therefore extremely well suited to a university college. At St Paul’s this tradition shows itself partly in robust student leadership. Originally a national and established faith, the teachings of Anglicanism also imply public responsibility (as in the College motto, ''Deo Patriæ Tibi''). Among the college alumni are seven bishops, including two who promoted women’s ordination in the Anglican Church, three High Court judges, Sir Denis Browne, the father of paediatric surgery in the UK, and Sir Lorimer Dods, a pioneer researcher in child diseases, W.C.B. Harvey, who first persuaded Australians that smoking was dangerous, and Patrick McGorry, an international leader in the area of youth mental health. Educators affiliated with the college participated in the founding, in the 1890s, of the adjacent Women's College. The two colleges are still closely linked; St Paul's has remained men-only, since 2000 the two other large former men's colleges have become co-residential. The College has formal dinner five nights a week, to which college members wear tie, jacket and academic gown. The first students enrolled in February 1857 and moved into the new buildings a year later. After a slow start, numbers increased markedly from the 1880s and this was a time of remarkable flowering for the college. Meanwhile, St John’s College and St Andrew’s College had opened, and in 1892 the Women’s College. By the last decades of the nineteenth century the main traditional features of the college's community had emerged, including a collective spirit and various sporting and cultural activities. Debating and public speaking flourished. With the gradual evolution of student self-government within the university and college, in 1906 the students' club came into existence. The intercollegiate Rawson Cup was established in 1907 by Governor Sir Harry Rawson, whose son was at the college. The college's magazine, ''The Pauline'', dates from 1910. By this time the college had its own distinct intellectual tradition, foreshadowed by the founders, a liberal Anglicanism which took seriously the challenges involved in combining religious and secular knowledge and in making the English Church useful to the Australian nation. The number of Paulines from this period who are now listed in the ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'' is evidence of the way the College was in step with the times.〔Hamish Milne, The Origins of St Paul's College (BA thesis, University of Sydney 1995) and St Paul's College: Another Fifty Years, 1900-1950 (MPhil thesis, University of Sydney 1997).〕 The original building was designed in Gothic style by English-born architect Edmund Blacket. Blacket was a distinguished ecclesiastical architect; he also designed the main university building and supervised the construction of the Catholic St John's College at the same university. Other buildings include a chapel (designed by John Leslie Stephen Mansfield and completed in 1960) and a residential wing designed by Clive Lucas, Stapleton & Partners which opened in 1999.〔 In November 2009, a Sydney paper reported that several former residents of the college (all players on the same social soccer team) were members of a Facebook group described itself as "pro-rape, anti-consent". The group was alleged by the reporter to be part of a broader culture amongst privileged youths which demeaned women in a sexist (or sexually violent) way. What was not well appreciated by actors interested in this episode was that the target of the Facebook site was not in fact women or any person but other soccer teams against which the social soccer team played. Warden Ivan Head issued a public response condemning the students' behaviour.〔 In the 2010 World University Debating Championship two former Paul's students (Chris Croke and Steve Hind) took the title, winning the final against teams from Oxford, Harvard and the London School of Economics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=St Paul's College ) 〕 Since the 1890s, the college has fostered social-justice ideals (as part of the liberal Anglican tradition) and most students are involved at some point in philanthropic activities. During the first decade of the 21st century, half the male Rhodes Scholars from Sydney University have been Paulines. In 2010, Jack Manning Bancroft was named NSW Young Australian of the Year for his work in indigenous education.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Australian of the Year Awards: New South Wales National Finalists 2010 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Paul's College, University of Sydney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
