Scholar’s Dinner is held each year in early March. It is held to recognise the academic excellence of new and returning students and allows these undergraduate scholars to socialise with the College Fellows and Members of the Senior Common Room.
The Principal, Mrs Barbara Green with our Guest Speaker, Dr Jennifer Radden and Chair of College Council, Assoc. Prof. Elizabeth Dax.
A lifetime love of learning
The 2006 scholarship recipients and members of the Senior Common Room were treated to an address from Dr Jennifer Radden (Hilda’s 1964-1968) at the annual Scholars’ Dinner held in March. A student of St Hilda’s in its inaugural year, Dr Madden is now Professor and Chair in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boston.
Dr Radden spoke of her love of learning, tracing it back to her earliest days as a girl in Warburton, and nurtured by her experiences at St Hilda’s where in 1968 she was awarded with The University of Melbourne’s Hastie Lawrie Prizes for the best graduating Philosphy major.
Her current field of interest relates to the philosophical aspects of the science of psychiatry and she fielded questions from guests on this area.
