History

• The university was created by the University of Western Australia Act 1911, which followed proposals tabled by a royal commission in September 1910, and it was the first university established in the state该校依据 1911 年《西澳大利亚大学法》创办，此前一个皇家委员会于 1910 年 9 月提交了办学建议，它也是西澳州建立的第一所大学。
• The original campus was on Irwin Street in the centre of Perth and consisted of several buildings between Hay Street and St Georges Terrace, taking its first students in March 1913最初的校园位于珀斯市中心的欧文街，由海街与圣乔治大道之间的若干建筑组成，1913 年 3 月迎来首批学生。
• Because many of the buildings had corrugated iron roofs, the Irwin Street site was known as Tin Pan Alley, and it served as the university campus until 1932, when the institution moved to its present site at Crawley由于许多建筑使用波纹铁皮屋顶，欧文街校区被称为「铁皮巷」，它作为大学校园一直使用到 1932 年学校迁往如今的克劳利校址。
• The founding chancellor, John Winthrop Hackett, died in 1916 and left property which, after being managed for ten years, yielded 425,000 Australian pounds, far more than expected, and this bequest paid for the main buildings and many scholarships首任校监约翰·温思罗普·哈克特于 1916 年去世，其遗产经十年经营后收益达 42.5 万澳镑，远超预期，这笔遗赠既修建了主要建筑，也设立了多项奖学金。
• Hackett did not wish eager students to be deterred from study by lack of money, and many university buildings and landmarks bear his name, including Winthrop Hall and Hackett Hall哈克特不愿看到求知心切的学生因缺钱而放弃学业，校内许多建筑与地标都以他命名，其中包括温思罗普大厅与哈克特大厅。
• During the university's first decade there was controversy over whether the policy of free education could be reconciled with heavy spending on professorial chairs and faculties, an old student noting in 1921 that thirteen faculties served only 280 students在办学的最初十年里，免费教育政策与在教席和学院上的高额支出是否相容引发争议，一位老学生曾在 1921 年指出，十三个学院仅服务 280 名学生。
