UNIKEN  

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES  

No. 20 of 1975  

24 November December  

THE CHANCELLOR  

TO RETIRE  

Sir Robert Webster, Chancellor of the University, will  

retire as from 31 December, bringing to an end 29 years'  

association with the University. The University Council  

received notice of Sir Robert's retirement at its meeting  

on 10 November.  

Sir Robert's links with the University were forged in  

1947, when he was invited to be member of the  

Developmental Council of the NSW University of  

Technology (which became the University of New  

South Wales in 1958).  

Sir Robert has been particularly associated with the  

establishment of the School ofTextile Technology and  

the development of Unisearch Limited.  

The University conferred on him the honorary degree of  

Doctor of Science in 1962. He was elected Chancellor in  

1970 after ten years as Deputy Chancellor.  

Over his five years as Chancellor Sir Robert has conferred  

more than 16,000 degrees and diplomas more than  

half the total number of awards conferred since the  

University was established.  

On learning of Sir Robert's intention to retire, the Deputy  

Chancellor, Sir Kevin Ellis, said that Sir Robert had been  

great Chancellor who had been friend of staff and  

students alike.  

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Rupert Myers, said that  

Sir Robert had shown continuing and personal interest  

in the work of the University across the whole range of  

its activities.  

"Sir Robert has been of great assistance to me personally  

and he and Lady Webster have made an outstanding  

contribution to the life of the University," he said.  

Although Sir Robert, at the age of 84, is stepping down  

as Chancellor of the University he is still Chairman of  

Bradmill Industries Limited, Councillor of the NSW  

Chamber of Manufacturers and the Associated Chamber  

of Manufacturers of Australia, the Australian Institute of  

Management and the Standards Association of Australia,  

and member of the Industrial Design Council and the  

Australia-Japan Business Co-operation Committee.  

Sir Robert is the University's third Chancellor. His  

predecessors were Mr Wallace Wurth (1949-1960) and  

Sir John Clancy (1960-1970).  

Above, Sir Robert Webster chairs his last meeting of Council. On his
