The Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Syme was originally a free trader, but converted to protectionism through his belief that Victoria needed to develop its manufacturing industries behind tariff barriers. Syme's will prevented the sale of any equity in the paper during his sons' lifetimes, an arrangement designed to protect family control but which had the effect of starving the paper of investment capital for 40 years. This was Graham Perkin, appointed in 1966, who radically changed the paper's format and shifted its editorial line from the rather conservative liberalism of the Symes to a new "left liberalism" characterised by attention to issues such as race, gender and the environment, and opposition to White Australia and the death penalty. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Age   (1571 words)

Syme, David David was 16 years old when his father died and he continued his studies in Latin, Greek and Hebrew with some doubt as to what his future was to be. Syme had supported Berry in the fight for protection and during the constitutional struggle, but was not satisfied with him as an administrator, and though opposed to James Service (q.v.) he recognized that Service had the very qualities Berry lacked. If Syme thought a man was a danger to his country, the order was issued that he was to be written out of his position without compromise or consideration of mitigating circumstances. www.electricscotland.com /history/australia/syme_david.htm   (1961 words)

The Age Education David Syme never gave himself the title of editor or editor-in-chief, but he ran the newspaper from 1860 until his death in 1908 with an indelible style. When David Syme died in 1908, ownership of the paper was passed to his sons. In 1948, David Syme and Co became a public company to bring in funds needed for new equipment, but it remained in the control of the family. www.education.theage.com.au /history.asp   (1134 words)

Fairfax and Syme: David Syme and The Age It established the David Syme Trust, prohibiting sale of the paper by the trustees or division of its assets until the death of his sons and all profits to be distributed to the beneficiaries (arguably crippling the business). David's surviving son Oswald (1878-1967) became Chair of David Syme and Co Ltd in 1948, when as surviving son he persuaded the court that the paper's financial stability necessitated listing as a public company. David Syme and Co Ltd was floated on the Melbourne Stock Exchange with issue of £400,000 of non-voting preference shares. www.ketupa.net /fairfax1.htm   (941 words)

Another Darwinian Critic, by Alfred Russel Wallace Syme surveys the position from his own superior stand-point, and points out the road over which he is about to lead them in a passage which, for its amazing statements and supreme self-confidence, deserves to be quoted. Syme's teaching by his explanation of mimicry, which is, that natural selection has nothing to do with it, but that insects choose environments to match their own colours. Syme has a considerable reputation in other departments of literature as a powerful writer and acute critic; but he has entirely mistaken his vocation in this feeble and almost puerile attempt to overthrow the vast edifice of fact and theory raised by the genius and the life-long labours of Darwin. www.wku.edu /~smithch/wallace/S437.htm   (933 words)

The Age Print Centre The history of The Age for the next 40 years is the history of David Syme and, in particular, his campaigns on land reform, protection for industry, and full adult access to voting and parliament.

Although David Syme & Co remained a separate subsidiary, it was caught up in the attempted acquisition of the Fairfax companies by Warwick Fairfax in 1987. www.theageprintcentre.com.au /view_article.asp?intid=9   (680 words)

Guidomedia LaTrobe writers According to Charles Edward Sayers, the writer of David Syme: a life, 'David Syme as editor and publisher formulated and influenced the policies of the Government.' From 1860-1880, 'Land reform, creation of local industry and constitutional reform were the initial focal points of Syme's editorial policy,' says Macdonald. Syme was able to reduce the price of The Age to one penny from three pence, which, according to Sayers, 'ensured it was within the reach of the slenderest purse.' It is this period of time where 'Mr Syme was The Age, and The Age was Mr Syme,' says Pratt. Under David Syme's ownership and control - from 1860 to his death in 1908 - The Age was the mouthpiece of the popular movements of the time, achieving a circulation of 120,000 copies per day on 10 August, 1899,' says Sayers. www.allmoto.com /noniestava.html   (3231 words)
