By Geoffrey Bolton
Murdoch University, 1985
Softcover
A scarce and engaging institutional history documenting the formative decade of Murdoch University, written by noted Australian historian Professor Geoffrey Bolton.
The title derives from Sir Walter Murdoch’s own words on learning that the university would bear his name — “It had better be a good one.” The book explores the ideals, politics, personalities, and early challenges behind one of Western Australia’s most distinctive universities.
