The Main Quadrangle

During 1848, William Wentworth proposed a plan to expand the existing Sydney College into a university in the Legislative Council. William Charles Wentworth (13 August 1790 – 20 March 1872 was an Australian poet explorer journalist and politician and one of the leading figures of early colonial New South Sydney Grammar School (colloquially known as Grammar) is an independent, Secular, selective, Day school for boys located in The New South Wales Legislative Council, or upper house is one of the two chambers of the parliament of New South Wales in Australia. Wentworth argued that a state university was imperative for the growth of a society aspiring towards self-government, and that it would provide the opportunity for 'the child of every class, to become great and useful in the destinies of his country'. It would take two attempts on Wentworth's behalf however, before the plan was finally adopted.

The University was established via the passage of the University of Sydney Act which was signed on 1 October 1850.

Camperdown is an inner-city Suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

In 1858, the passage of the Electoral Act provided for the university to become a constituency for the Legislative Assembly as soon as there were 100 graduates with higher degrees. The Legislative Assembly, or lower house is one of the two chambers of the Parliament of New South Wales. This seat in Parliament was first filled in 1876, but was abolished in 1880 one year after its second Member, Edmund Barton, was elected to the Legislative Assembly.

Most of the estate of John Henry Challis was bequeathed to the university, which received a sum of £200,000 in 1889. John Henry Challis ( 6 August 1809 – 18 February 1880) was an Anglo - Australian merchant and Philanthropist. This was thanks in part due to William Montagu Manning (chancellor 1878–1895) who argued against the claims by British Tax Commissioners. Sir William Montagu Manning KCMG LLD ( 20 June 1811 – 27 February 1895) was an English -born Australian The following year seven professorships were created; anatomy, zoology, engineering, history, law, logic & mental philosophy, and modern literature. The academic structure of the university was based partly on that of Cornell University in the US. [12]

Under the terms of the Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act 1989 (NSW) the following bodies were incorporated into the University in 1990:

The Orange Agricultural College (OAC) was originally transferred to the University of New England under the Act, but then transferred to the University of Sydney in 1994, as part of the reforms to the University of New England undertaken by the University of New England Act 1993 and the Southern Cross University Act 1993. The University of New England ( UNE) is an Australian public university with approximately 18000 higher education students In January 2005, the University of Sydney transferred the OAC to Charles Sturt University.

In February 2007, the University agreed to acquire a portion of the land granted to St John's College to develop the Sydney Institute of Health and Medical Research. St John's College, or the College of St John the Evangelist, is a residential College within the University of Sydney. As a Catholic institution, in handing over the land St John's placed limitations on the type of medical research that can be conducted on the premises seeking to preserve the essence of the College mission. This has caused concern among the some groups who argue this could interfere with scientific medical research. However this is rejected by the university administration because the building is not intended for this purpose and there are many other facilities in close proximity where such research can take place.

The University comprises sixteen faculties:[16]

The main campus of the University is spread across two inner-city suburbs of Sydney: Camperdown and Darlington.

Originally housed in what is now Sydney Grammar School, in 1855, the government granted the university land in Grose Farm, three kilometres from the city, which is now the main Camperdown campus. Sydney Grammar School (colloquially known as Grammar) is an independent, Secular, selective, Day school for boys located in Camperdown is an inner-city Suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The architect Edmund Blacket designed the original Neogothic sandstone Quadrangle and Great Tower buildings, which were completed in 1862. Edmund Thomas Blacket (25 August 1817 – 9 February 1883 was an Australian Architect, best known for his designs for the University of Sydney, St The Gothic Revival is an architectural movement which began The rapid expansion of the university in the mid-20th century resulted in the acquisition of land in Darlington across City Road. City Road is a large thoroughfare in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The Camperdown/Darlington campus houses the headquarters of the University, and the Faculties of Arts, Science, Education and Social Work, Pharmacy, Veterinary Science, Economics and Business, Architecture, and Engineering. It is also the home base of the large Faculty of Medicine, which has numerous affiliated teaching hospitals across the State.

The main campus is also the focus of student life at campus, with the student-run University of Sydney Union (often known simply as the Union) in possession of three buildings on-site - Wentworth, Manning and Holme Buildings. The University of Sydney Union ( USU) commonly referred to as The Union, is the student-run services and amenities provider at the University of Sydney These buildings house a large proportion of the university's catering outlets, and provide space for gaming rooms, bars and function centres. One of the largest activities organised by the Union is the Orientation Week (or 'O-week'), centering on stalls set up by clubs and societies on the Front Lawns.

The University is currently undertaking a large capital works program (entitled "Campus 2010 + Building for the Future"), with the aim of revitalising the campus and providing more office, teaching and student space. The program will see the amalgamation of the smaller science and technical libraries into a larger library, and the construction of a central administration and student services building along City Road. A new building for the School of Information Technologies opened in late 2006, and has been located on a site adjacent to the Seymour Centre. The busy Eastern Avenue thoroughfare has been transformed into a pedestrian plaza, and a new footbridge has been built over City Road. Meanwhile, a new home for the Sydney Law School is under construction, located alongside Fisher Library on the site of the old Edgeworth David and Stephen Roberts buildings. Sir Tannatt William Edgeworth David (commonly known as Edgeworth David KBE, FRS, ( 28 January 1858 – 28 August 1934)

From 2007, the University will also use Bay 17 in the new Carriageworks development in the former Eveleigh railway yards just to the south of Darlington as an examination room. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. Eveleigh is an inner-city Suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Darlington is a small inner-city Suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

Residential colleges

The university has a number of residential college and halls of residence each with its own distinctive style and facilities. All offer tutorial support and a wide range of social and sporting activities in a supportive communal environment. Five colleges are affiliated with religious denominations and while this gives each of these colleges a special character, students of any denomination or religion are eligible for admission. Unlike some residential colleges in British or American universities, the colleges are not affiliated with any specific discipline of study.

There is also a university-affiliated housing cooperative, Stucco. St John's College, or the College of St John the Evangelist, is a residential College within the University of Sydney.
