Abstract

Quote page 22: "This chapter considers four of the University's most significant nineteenth-century benefactors - Sir Samual Wilson, John Dickson Wyselaskie, Francis Ormond and John Hastie - asking where, how and at whose cost they made fortunes that underpinned their generosity. Confronting this history, long framed in ways that have diminished the historical and contemporary impact of Indigienous dispossession, is long overdue."
