Campbell, Margaret. University Women’s College, a Record of Events of 1937, the First Year. Parkville, Vic: University College Association, 1988.

The foundation stone of Women’s College (now known as University College) was laid in 1937 by Lady Huntingdon, wife of the Governor-General. In August 1938 the College had 42 students and 4 residential tutors. Although originally a college for women, in 1975 the Council passed a minute giving the Principal the discretion to enrol men, providing that there were no suitable women applicants. Since that date, the College has grown as a place of residence and learning for both men and women while still retaining a mission to ensure that women have every encouragement to attain their full personal and scholarly potential. Whilst mainly a College for undergraduate students, University College has always encouraged enrolments of overseas and postgraduate residents.

McCoy was appointed Professor of Natural Science in 1885. His teaching methods were theoretical rather than practical, depending on classroom exposition rather than field work. McCoy’s chief interest was in museums and having carried the entire collection of the Government Museum to his rooms in 1856, he was gazetted to the unpaid position of Director of the Museum of Natural and Applied Sciences the following year. A protracted battle for the construction of a museum within the University grounds was won in 1862 and the building (which after his death became the Student Union) opened in 1864.
