Bab 37: Chapter 37: Australian National University

September 23rd, 1900, Sydney.

Seizing the moment during which the whole of Australia was still caught in a wave of celebration and thanksgiving, Arthur launched an attack and established the first university in Australia, the Australian National University, in Sydney.

This was a large-scale university funded jointly by the Australian government and the royal family, with the government investing a little over one million pounds and the royal family another million, totaling over two million pounds.

Although it had just been completed, the Australian National University occupied an impressive area of over two square kilometers, spanning over three thousand acres of campus.

Although the university did not need such a vast area, Australia, known for its wide-open spaces and sparse population, had no shortage of land.
