This series consists of the UNSW Annual Statistics Bulletin / Booklet of the Statistics Section / Planning Services Department / Planning Services Office / Planning Office. Each item in the series is a typed paper-bound volume. Volumes only start in 1962, but prior to this date the statistics are available on files 00028355 and 00072627. The next relevant administrative file that contains the bulk of the 1961 statistics is 00012518, but unfortunately this file was borrowed from the Archives in 1994 and has yet to be returned (as at January 2009). Some 1961 enrolement statistics are, however, available in the papers of the 13 June 1961 meeting of the Professorial Board (S41). Initially the statistics were just on student enrolments, but from 1964 they were broadened to include staff and from 1989 finance, accommodation and library statistics. From 2002 there was a change in the book's production with two volumes per year now being produced. It was also noted on the Institutional Analysis & Reporting Office website (http://www.pso.unsw.edu.au - accessed 2006) that: The UNSW Statistics Book is an annual publication of Institutional Analysis and Reporting. From 2002 this publication and its companion publication, the Statistics Book - Supplement, have replaced the former Statistics Bulletin, which was published annually by the Planning Office until 2001. The Statistics Book contains a range of student, staff, financial and resource-based statistical information compiled from the official statistical returns submitted to the Department of Education, Science and Training at the reference date of 31 March each year, and from other UNSW sources. More detailed statistics on students, staff and program completions are published in the Statistics Book - Supplement. The Archives retains 3 copies of each item in this series if possible - two on the shelves and one in the reading room. Bursar's annotated copies of statistics for 1964 are available in series 1364.

The Board of Vocational Studies was formed at the 12th September, 1960 meeting of Council (resolution 60/132). Under Council resolution 60/132iii it was determined that the Board should supervise teaching, provide assistance to examiners and conduct research in those subjects that were nominated as coming under its auspices. Professor R. H. Myers was appointed the first Chairman of the Board and its inaugural meeting took place on 22nd September, 1960. Under Council resolution 64/223 at their meeting on 9th November, 1964, the functions of a Higher Degree Committee were also given to the Board. At the meeting of Council on 11th May, 1970 (resolution 70/74i) resolution 60/132 was rescinded and the Board re-constituted. Under Council resolution 70/74ii the Board was given the power to act as a faculty in regard to the course in Wool Technology (Education option) and all courses provided by the Schools of Education, Social Work, Librarianship, Health Administration and the Department of Industrial Arts. As well, it was determined that Chapter IV of the University By-Laws would now apply to the Board (resolution 70/74iii). This resulted in the establishment of an Executive Committee. On 12th November, 1973 Council changed the name of the Board to the Board of Professional Studies (resolution 73/231). A year later, on 11th November, 1974, Council approved the reconstitution of the Board into the Faculty of Professional Studies from 20th January 1975 (resolution 74/227). Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor A. H. Willis was appointed Acting Dean of the Faculty. At the 2nd December, 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Professional Studies was disestablished effective 1st January, 1997 (resolution CL96/88/3).

On 25 May 1964 the Executive Committee of Council noted with interest the report of the Vice-Chancellor upon the possible acquisition of 600 acres of land at Wellington for development as an agricultural research station for the university and authorises the Vice-Chancellor to continue negotiations with the Department of Lands. On 17 June 1964 the Vice-Chancellor Professor Baxter wrote to the Minister for Lands, the Hon K. C. Compton, to request that the Wellington Common Land...should be made available to the University of New South Wales as an experimental agricultural centre and that the land should be vested in the Council of the University. On 10 September 1964 the Minister responded in the affirmative and Professor Baxter accepted this offer on behalf of the university on 15 October 1964. It was, however, first necessary for the area to be surveyed and so it was not until 13 September 1965 that the Under Secretary for Lands, W. J. Broadfoot, authorised the university to occupy the area proposed to be reserved, immediately, in order than fencing may proceed. The university's trusteeship of the area for a Research Station was formally notified on 11 February 1966 and published in Government Gazette No. 41 of 22 April 1966. The Field Station was initially administratively placed under the Institute of Rural Technology, with Professor A. H. Willis as Chairman (file 00370805). On 6 July 1966 the Associate Bursar wrote a file note indicating that all university research stations should be called 'field stations', prefaced in each case by the locality name. Thus the station at Wellington officially became known as Wellington Field Station (file 00014498). The Field Station was officially opened on 30 August 1966 (file 00370805). On 17 November 1975, the Management Committee of the Institute of Rural Technology resolved to form a Management Committee of the Central West Field Station Complex, which comprised of Wellington and two subsequently acquired stations: Manildra and Stuart Town. Wellington Field Station appears in the records of Central West Field. In the 1976 to 1989 UNSW Calendars, Wellington Field Station appears under the Central West Field Station Complex name. From 1990, it appears alone. On 9 February 1982 an additional 129.5 hectares, known as Alluvial Park, was purchased by the university as freehold land and added to the area occupied by the field station (file 00035929). On 29 November 1984 Pro-Vice-Chancellor Golding wrote to Associate Professor J. P. Kennedy, the new head of the School of Wool & Pastoral Sciences stating that effective from 1 January 1985 I agree that the School of Wool & Pastoral Sciences accepts the responsibility with Associate Professor Euan Roberts operating the stations in a similar way to that used for Hay and Burradac [field stations]. Financial and operational management as well as research co-ordination will be the responsibility of Professor Roberts in collaboration with Mr M. Johnstone and Mr J. Brain, through the Head of the School of Wool and Pastoral Sciences: (file 00830616). On 9 September 1985 the School of Wool & Pastoral Sciences was altered by Council from a school to the Department of Wool Science within the newly created School of Fibre Science & Technology effective 1 January 1986 (resolution 85/96ci). From 1988 the department's name was changed to the Department of Wool & Animal Science (Focus, 5 February 1988, p 3). On 16 September 1991 the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs), Professor A. J. Wicken, wrote to Professor Euan Roberts indicating that in future Hay, Deniliquin, Wellington and Burraduc (until sold) Field Stations should be looked after by a Management Committee in much the same way as Fowlers Gap Field Station. The first Chair of the Committee was Professor Ross Griffiths, as head of the School of Fibre Science & Technology (file 911523). On 2 December 1996 Council resolved to later approve timetable and administrative arrangements for the disestablishment of the School of Fibre Science & Technology (resolution CL96/88/4). At Council's 3 February 1997 meeting, it was resolved that this would be effective 1 July 1997 (resolution CL97/5). As a result, on 20 April 1998 Council passed a resolution to approve the disposal of the Wellington Field Station and agree that, following consent from the Minister for Education, arrangements will be made for the sale of the Wellington property (resolution CL98/33). Actions had already been taken in 1997 to sell the property, such as seeking land valuations.

The formation of the Professorial Board was provided for in Chapter III of the by-laws passed by Council on 12th September, 1949 (resolution 5). These stated that the Professors and Associate Professors in the several Faculties and such other persons as Council may appoint shall form a Board, to be called the Professorial Board (III, 1). The Board was to be specially charged with the duty of furthering and co-ordinating the work of Faculties and Departments and of encouraging scholarship and research and of considering the studies and discipline of the University (III, 4, i). Specifically the Board could consider reports made to it by any faculty, appoint internal and external examiners, prescribe books and details of subjects for lectures, determine the conditions of competition for any post-graduate award, decide all questions of admission ad eundem gradum and advanced standing and submit recommendations to Council regarding teaching staff and academic standing (III, 4, ii). As well, any member of the Professorial Board was given the power to suspend any student, as long as the misconduct occurred in the Department or presence of the member (III, 5, a). The by-laws also dictated that the first Chairman of the Professorial Board would be elected in May, 1950 (III, 2). Meetings would be held at the discretion of the Chairman or at the written request of the President, Director or three members of the Board (III, 6, a). At the 13th March, 1950 meeting of Council it was determined that until July, 1950, the professors already appointed should act as a committee with authority to consider all matters which, in accordance with the provision of Chapter III of the By-laws (the Professorial Board), shall be within the jurisdiction of the Professorial Board when constituted (resolution 40ii). The first meeting of Professorial staff had in fact already taken place on 1st February, 1950, with Director A. Denning as Chairman, and meetings were held generally on a weekly basis until the end of June. Under the provision in the by-laws, on 31st May, 1950 Denning was formally elected as Chairman of the Professorial Board. The first committees of the Professorial Board were determined at the Professorial Committee's meeting on 6th June, 1950. These were Buildings & Sites, Equipment & Supplies, Research, Graduate School & Post-Graduate Studies, Publications & Library, Academic Studies & Standards and Staff & Students. The Professorial Board held its first official meeting on 4th July, 1950. At this meeting, the membership of the first seven committees named by the Professorial Committee on the 6th June was finalised. By the time of the last meeting of the Board on 7th June, 1988, approximately eighty committees had come and gone throughout the Board's existence. At the 14th September, 1987 meeting of Council changes to Chapter III of the by-laws were passed (resolution 87/99c). As a result, effective July 1988, the Professorial Board ceased to exist and the Academic Board was established in its place.

This series contains files relating to administration and exhibitions held at the Arthaus Gallery and Arthaus Too. The exhibition files may include Artists' application forms; media releases; attendance statistics; price lists and general correspondence about each exhibition catalogue. The Arthaus Gallery had its origins in the 'Butchers Exhibit', an independent artist run gallery located at 20 Palmer Lane, East Sydney, established by four students of the Alexander Mackie College, which ran from 1982 until 1984. The City Art Institute Students' Association took over the operation and maintained it as a gallery that catered for students and emerging artists, changing its name to the Arthaus Gallery. In 1990 the Gallery moved to new premises at 379 South Dowling Street, initially calling itself Arthaus Too to cover the transition period between the two premises. The Gallery was run by a committee of students from the College of Fine Arts, and other interested parties, and financed by the Student Association. The Arthaus Gallery was closed in August 1999.

The files may contain invoices; press cuttings; advertising brochures; artwork in the production of advertising brochures; general correspondence about each exhibition; artists' name and contact details; price list; catalogue; application/submission forms; photographs, slides or negatives. The Works Gallery was an on-campus gallery established in the Green Road campus of the City Art Institute in September 1987. The Works Gallery was involved in local, travelling and exchange exhibitions. By 1992 it had become known as the COFA Student Gallery. See series 1830 for slides from the exhibitions.

The Quality Assurance Group was established from 1 November 1995 under the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Development) (VCAC 1 November 1995) with Terry Hand as the Manager. At the 15 November 1995 meeting of the Planning Committee of Council, it was noted that the remit of the Group included National Quality Assurance Reporting, Performance Evaluation (Surveys), University Management Information System (UMIS) and Corporate Plan - Development & Implementation. Shortly afterwards the Group appears to have become known as the Corporate Planning & Quality Development Office. In the Working Party Report on Chancellery Services & Administrative Support Technology Report released on 10 July 1997 it was recommended that the functions of the Planning Services Department and Corporate Planning & Quality Development Office be brought together. Approval for this move was given at the 8 October 1997 meeting of the Executive Group, with it being absorbed into the Planning Office. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 01/11/1995-c. 08/10/1997

At the 11 November 1968 Council meeting, the Graduate School of Business was established within the Faculty of Commerce (resolution 68/191). Provision for the establishment of two departments within the Graduate School was given within this resolution and the second of these departments was created after Professor D. C. Dunphy was appointed as Professor of Business Administration and Head of the Department of Behavioural Science on 8 September 1969 (Council resolution 69/155i). When he took up his position on 1 January 1970, the Department of Behavioural Science came into being. On 4 December 1974, as the result of the redeployment of staff from the Graduate School of Business, the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee approved the creation of a Department of Behavioural Science within the School of Marketing. On 14 July 1976 the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee approved the removal of the department from the School of Marketing and reconstituted it as a separate unit in the faculty. On 10 July 1978 Council approved a change in name of the Department of Behavioural Science to the Department of Organisational Behaviour, effective from 1 January 1979 (resolution 78/149). On 12 September 1983 Council approved the disestablishment of the department (resolution 83/76e). As a result of this approval, an Organisational Behaviour Unit was created within the Dean's Unit and staff from the former department were moved to this Unit (file 00033831). In July 1985 the Vice-Chancellor established a committee to review the faculties of Commerce and Professional Studies. One of the recommendations of the working party which was chaired by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ronayne, was that a new School of Industrial Relations and Organisational Behaviour comprising the present Department of Industrial Relations and the Organisational Behaviour Unit be established. (Focus 13 May 1988: 10) At the Council meeting on 11 July 1988 major administrative changes were instituted including that certain departments within the existing schools within the faculty become schools in their own right. As a consequence, the Department of Industrial Relations and the Organisational Behaviour Unit were merged to become the newly formed School of Industrial Relations and Organisational Behaviour effective from 1 August 1988 (resolution 88/90).

The first Pro-Vice-Chancellor was Professor D. W. Phillips, who was appointed at Council's 14 November 1955 meeting (resolution 652). At the 12 March 1956 meeting of Council it was determined that the Pro-Vice-Chancellor's responsibilities were to: a) generally assist the Vice-Chancellor in the discharge of his duties as the Vice-Chancellor may from time to time arrange and act for the Vice-Chancellor in his absence b) in particular, deputise for the Vice-Chancellor at the latter's request in chairing meetings of Advisory Panels and Selection Committees and on public occasions within the university c) exercise the following financial delegations (resolution 720). On 8 May 1961 a second Pro-Vice-Chancellor position was established by Council with Professor R. H. Myers being appointed to the position (resolution 61/59). Up until 1991, the two Pro-Vice-Chancellor positions appear to have been only distinguished as either being the first Pro-Vice-Chancellor and second Pro-Vice-Chancellor position. From 16 September 1991, however, one position became known as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research & Development) and the other as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) (Focus 23 August 1991). The title of both Pro-Vice-Chancellor positions was changed to Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the Council meeting on 4 November 1991. After Professor John Niland took over as Vice-Chancellor on 6 July 1992 the title of the position became the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & International) (Focus 8 May 1992). From 16 April 2003 the name of the position was changed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) (file 2003/0773). In 2007 the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) was Professor Les Field, who presided over the Graduate Research School and UNSW Research Services.
