At the end of this term the classics department is to lose one of its lecturers, Mr McKay, who has been at Victoria University foe four and a half years.

On May 12 he will return to Australia, to take the position of Senior Lecturer in Classics at the School of General Studies, Australian National University, Canberra.

Mr McKay won a scholarship from Sydney University which took him to Queen's College, Cambridge, for two years. On leaving England he took a position at the University College in Ibadan, Nigeria, where he stayed for the next six years.

After being required to shoulder full responsibilities of the department in his last two years in Nigeria, Mr McKay told Salient how pleased he was to be working with Professor Murray, who was (to no small extent) responsible for making Mr McKay's stay at Victoria most enjoyable.

Mr McKay is looking forward to beginning his work in Canberra, for he says that the university there is much smaller than Victoria but is growing rapidly.
