History

• The university's origins lie in the post-war push to expand higher education: in 1957 the prime minister Robert Menzies set up a committee chaired by Sir Keith Murray, and its Murray Report of September 1957 called for a major expansion of Australian universities.该校的缘起可追溯到二战后扩张高等教育的呼声：1957 年总理罗伯特·孟席斯设立由基思·默里爵士主持的委员会，其 1957 年 9 月的《默里报告》主张大幅扩张澳大利亚的大学。

• Following the Murray Report the federal government created the Australian Universities Commission in 1959, chaired by Sir Leslie Martin, to plan the growth and financing of universities.依《默里报告》，联邦政府于 1959 年设立由莱斯利·马丁爵士主持的澳大利亚大学委员会，负责规划大学的发展与经费。

• In August 1963 the Martin Committee's second report warned that Melbourne and Monash alone could not meet demand beyond 1966, and the federal Universities Assistance Bill of October 1963 funded a third Victorian university with grants of 106,000 dollars for 1965, 210,000 dollars for 1966 and a first capital grant of 1,000,000 dollars.1963 年 8 月，马丁委员会的第二次报告警告仅靠墨尔本与莫纳什两校无法满足 1966 年之后的需求；1963 年 10 月的联邦《大学援助法案》为维多利亚州的第三所大学拨款，其中 1965 年为 106,000 美元、1966 年为 210,000 美元，首笔基建拨款为 1,000,000 美元。

• The university was named after Charles Joseph La Trobe, the first Governor of Victoria, on the proposal of the historian Kathleen Fitzpatrick, after alternatives such as Deakin were set aside.该校以维多利亚州第一任总督查尔斯·约瑟夫·拉筹伯命名，此名由历史学家凯瑟琳·菲茨帕特里克提议，此前诸如「迪肯」等备选名称均被搁置。
