The University of Melbourne was already over 110 years old when this history begins. The second oldest university in Australia, it has been graced with a number of histories. Each of these histories has documented the University's evolution and diversification from the perspective of their time. Shifting the Boundaries continues that story, but the period covered is entirely within living memory.
