James Backhouse Walker Index: University of Tasmania Collection
Get PDFJames Backhouse Walker, a lawyer, was a foundation member of the University Council and later Vice-Chancellor 1898-9. He was formerly a member of the Tasmanian Council of Education and one of the foremost of those striving to found a University. In his personal letters to his family and friends amongst the Walker family papers (Walker Papers Uni.Tas. Deposited Archives W.9) he often referred to his aims for a University and he wrote a 7 page statement of the possible structure of the University, but he doubted whether it could be more than an examining body with no endowment and limited funds. He himself did much of the drafting of the University Act and the revisions of the Act. Indeed he wrote that he was doing most of the work himself. After the foundation of the University Council Walker continued to do most of the work of the Council, especially in drafting statutes and regulations. He also wrote personally to Associates of Arts of the Council of Education to ask them to become members of the Senate and he encouraged graduate friends to apply for degrees of the University ad eundem gradum to form a Senate as the body of the new University. These papers, filed with the Registrar's records, include Walker's official correspondence on University Council matters, notes of meetings, comments, drafts of regulations, news cuttings etc. From University Collection UT12
University Badge pre 1937 Index: University of Tasmania Collection
Get PDFPhotograph of a University Badge used before the adoption of the present Coat of Arms in 1937.
Transparency and enlarged colour print of a small metal brooch badge, worn in the 1930’s, lent by Mr and Mrs Lewis (through Mr B. Wilson). See UT 365
This badge was probably a badge of the Tasmania University Union, and is based on the official Common Seal of the University, omitting the star and rose and the inscription, with the addition of a punning motto IN UNITATEM UNI.TAS, it also appears on the TUU magazine Platypus and may have been adopted in the 1920’s when the Union first sent teams to Inter-Varsity sports.
The original University Common Seal was the seal of the Tasmanian Council of Education, whose functions were taken over by the University on its foundation in 1890, with the inscription altered to read: UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA COMMON SEAL 1890. (not altered until 1902, TCE one continued)

Under him the physics department grew into one of the most active in Australia. He undertook and directed research into a variety of topics, including particle physics, cosmic radiation and metal surface electro-chemistry. His experiments were simple and aimed at the basic problems and his students learned to think carefully about the aims and underlying principles of their work. He was interested in biophysics. During the war he established an optics laboratory to supply prism and lenses for military equipment. See Australian Dictionary of Biography vol. 10.

His chief mentor then was John Johnson (and later James Brigden).

In 1925-30 he taught at Launceston High, friendship there with Archibald Meston stimulating his interest in Tasmanian (notably Aboriginal) history.

His appointment terminated on 19 March 1945 in Hobart.
