The Melbourne University

Boat Club is once again

proud to be associated with

the University of Melbourne

College Rowing Regatta.

Over many years we have

seen quite high standards of

rowing from the Colleges of

the University, particularly

given the short season and

diversity of experience within

the crews. Indeed, some of

the finest oarspersons in

Victorian rowing have

competed in this event, along

with those who are

experiencing the sport for the

first time. Needless to say

we also see some of our

more social rowers

competing and enjoying

themselves. The event is

one of participation, given the

crew based format. I urge all

Colleges to continue to

promote the sport of rowing

to their students.

MUBC continues to look at

ways of further involving the

members of residential

colleges in structured rowing

activities and we encourage

College residents to

participate in our programs.

Further details will become

available on the Club

website: www.mubc.asn.au

and all participants should

receive contact from the club

post-regatta. It is the hope of

MUBC that we can continue

to provide further

opportunities for College

rowers outside of this event.

Further to College rowing

activities I would encourage

all rowers to consider

participating in rowing at the

2018 Australian University

Nationals, which will be

conducted on the Gold

Coast, QLD (Sept 26 – 28).

This is an outstanding event

that is always enjoyed with

much success by the

students of the University.

Details will become available

on the Melbourne University

Sport website:

www.sport.unimelb.edu.au.

Finally, I extend a vote of

thanks to Melbourne

University Sport, MUBC

coaches and club members,

and to Regatta Manager

Greg Longden, and MUBC

General Manager Operations

Jennifer Matthies for their

assistance in ensuring the

successful staging of this

event. Thanks also to our

Race Officials from Rowing

Victoria and MUBC. Further

thanks are extended to the

City of Melbourne and Parks

Victoria, Rowing Victoria and

Transport Safety Victoria for

their consideration and

assistance in the staging of

the event.

Good rowing to all crews.

A Brief History of Inter-Collegiate Rowing

Inter-Collegiate rowing at the University of Melbourne began in 1881 with a four oared race between Trinity

and Ormond. After four years, with Trinity winning on each occasion, the race became an annual contest for

eight oared crews. Queen's College entered the fray in 1891, and Newman competed for the first time in 1918.

Originally the length of the race was two miles, on the Lower Yarra Course, but in 1909 the Upper Yarra

Course of one and one-quarter miles was adopted. In 1918 Mr. Justice HB Higgins of the High Court of

Australia presented the magnificent trophy, which has come to be identified with Inter-Collegiate rowing. The

circumstances are explained in the following extract from a letter from the then Master of Ormond, DK Picken.

". . .Mr. Justice Higgins has vested a fund of 500 pounds in the Heads of the Colleges (as Trustees) for the

encouragement of rowing, by means of a permanent trophy and memorial to be associated with the name of his son,

the late Captain MB Higgins (Captain and Adjutant) of the 8th Light Horse Regiment AIF), formerly a member of

Ormond College, Melbourne and later of Balliol College, Oxford, who was killed in action at El Magdhaba on 23rd

December, 1916. The fund comes from Captain Higgins' arrears of pay. The trophy which is to be called the Mervyn

Bournes Higgins Memorial Trophy, is to be held by the winning College..."

In addition, the bequest also made provision for a small individual trophy for each oarsman; originally a two

handled pewter mug, but since the last war an inscribed medallion. Apart from the war years, the Inter-

Collegiate contest has been held every year, and was expanded to include a race for Second Eights for the

Malcolm Russell Norton Trophy. Since 1923, the winning College Eight has raced against the Extra Collegiate

crew for the John Laing Cup.

Women's Inter-Collegiate rowing commenced in 1959 when members of Janet Clarke Hall decided that it was

about time that women had a race of their own. Originally the women were few in number as they had not an

opportunity to row at school. Thus, rowing was a new experience for most that entered the races. Races were

held over 800 metres for the First’s crews and 500 metres for the Seconds. The number of women who row

has increased greatly in the years since women's Inter-Collegiate rowing was established due to the popularity

of schoolgirl rowing.

Unlike the men, the women had originally not been able to compete for a trophy or medallion, but competed for

honour and glory alone. In 1992 this changed with the presentation of inscribed glasses to the winning crew at

a celebratory dinner, and in 1993 for the first time the winning women's crew competed for the Margot Foster &

Richardson Shield, similar in size to the Higgins Trophy, but reflecting the modern rowing woman of the

1990's. In 1999 the Susan Oddie Sypkens Shield for the winners of the women's Second Eights was

presented for the first time.

Inter-Collegiate rowing was further enhanced in 1995 with the combining of the men's and women's regattas. It

is appropriate that the men and women of the colleges who share so much should be able to share also the

excitement and glory of one Inter-Collegiate Regatta.

Trivia:

♣The first inter-collegiate boat race was held in 1881 between Trinity and Ormond men’s VIII. Trinity won this race and the following five races.

♣Three dead-heats have occurred between Ormond and Trinity (1897); Ormond and Queen’s (1921); and Trinity and Ormond (1946) – all men’s VIII races.

♣Ormond leads the men’s First VIII total races won with 55; and Ormond also leads the women’s First VIII races with 18.

Past Results

Our records begin at the first race in 1881, with many results missing or unrecorded across regatta history. It is our goal

to fill these results to create a complete historical database of the College Rowing regatta results.
