(12) Australian archaeology is indebted to the work over a number of years of Professor N. W. G. Macintosh, Department of Anatomy, Sydney University in establishing the general homogeneity of the aboriginal physical type. He considers a link with homo soloensis a possibility and is at present making himself available for the study of the so far limited skeletal remains from archaeological contexts.

(13) In 1917 the Senate of the University of Sydney refused to ratify the appointment of one V. G. Childe, already a graduate of both Sydney and Oxford, to a Tutorship in History in its Department of Tutorial Classes, clearly on the grounds of his political affiliations; the case caused a public outcry and questions were asked in the N.S.W. Legislative Assembly. One wonders but idly what might have happened to archaeology in Australia had Sydney's decision been otherwise.
