Abstract

Photographs of George Wilson (1907–1991). George Wilson joined the University of Tasmania in 1945 as a lecturer in history, making a very big contribution to the study of Asian history . For the 14 years before his retirement in 1974 he was Warden of Hytten Hall, the University's first residential college where he became a genuinely beloved fatherly figure to the student body. He continued as Reader in the History Department. During the 1950s he was a student counsellor and a keen rugby union player and coach, helping re-establish the game of rugby union in Tasmania after the Second World War.
