Scott, himself a distinguished professor of history at the university, presents a richly detailed account of the personalities, policies, and intellectual currents that shaped the institution's character and ambitions. Written with scholarly authority yet an accessible narrative style, the work illustrates how the university navigated the challenges of a young colonial society striving to build world-class centres of learning. It stands as an essential primary source for anyone interested in the history of Australian higher education, colonial intellectual life, or the development of civic institutions in Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820239565019,"sku":"2026200006545-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d65a14b3-7ed0-4997-8e22-30592f93741c.png?v=1780055324","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006545-secondhand-a-history-of-the-university-of-melbourne","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
