註釋Macquarie University dates from the great expansion of higher education in the 1960s. The imposition of quotas at the University of Sydney helped prompt its formation, but it also represented fresh ideas (drawn in part from American and British experience) about university teaching and organisation. The authors clarify its pioneering role in Australian higher education describing it as 'an act of faith and a great experiment'. Their main interest is in the academic development of the university, with three central chapters of the work dealing with teaching and research in its Schools. They also discuss the personalities who helped to shape the university. The planning of its site and the movements among students over the troubled years of the 1960s and 1970s, including the 'occupations' of 1974, also have a place in the university's history.
