State Governor Visits

Her Excellency the Hon Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of NSW and Mr Dennis Wilson visited the College on 10 August. The Hon Andrew Bell, President of the Court of Appeal (in College 1985-89 and Fellow 2004-11) brought them to the College especially to show Her Excellency and Mr Wilson the monumental sculpture in the Third Quad by Japanese-Australian artist Ayako Saito.

OUR CHAPEL ORGAN TO SING AGAIN AFTER REFURBISHMENT

Thanks to the continued generosity of Robert Albert, the College Chapel organ is currently being fully refurbished in time for the annual Carol Service in early December. The St Paul’s College Chapel pipe organ was built in 1971 by the Dutch firm of Flentrop and made possible by the generosity of the late Sir Alexis Albert CMG and his family. Sir Alexis was in College (1926-28), as were his three sons: Robert 1953-56, Ted 1956–58 and Tony 1958-62. The generosity of the Albert family to the College has been enduring, particularly the legacy of Robert Albert who, 20 years ago, assisted the College with a significant donation that allowed the building of the Albert Wing.

With the Hon Lloyd Waddy AM, Robert was co-founder of the St Paul’s College
