Canberra Day 1966 and the Canberra University story
A historical overview traces Canberra’s university development from tentative 1916 plans to a full autonomous institution. It notes the 1948 establishment of the Australian National University, the focus on select fields, the creation of five research schools, and key figures like Lord Florey linked to medical research, with the university now centered on Acton and Turner and evolving from Canberra University College into a major national centre.
