Then there were those called “Giblin’s Platoon” in the very nice book of that name by William Coleman, Selwyn Cornish and Alf Hagger:2 •  Sir Douglas Copland, lecturer at University of Tasmania, the first dean of the University of Tasmania faculty of commerce, Professor at the University of Melbourne, adviser, contributor to Depression era policies, inaugural Alfred Marshall lecturer at Cambridge, diplomat and founding Vice Chancellor of the Australian National University.
He was succeeded at the University of Tasmania by James Bristock Brigden. •  Brigden, like Giblin a soldier, also wounded, post-war lecturer in Economics here at the University of Tasmania, Director of the Queensland Bureau of Economics and Statistics, Secretary of a number of government departments during WWII, influential in the development of tariff and wage policies, and diplomat in Washington.
