 McCoy, Sir Frederick
For over forty years a towering force in the field of Natural Science in Victoria, McCoy was born Roman Catholic in Dublin the second son of Simon McCoy a qualified physician and professor at Queen’s College, Galway; his date of birth has been a source of dispute amongst historians.
Described as “strongly built, of medium height, ruddy of countenance with waved reddish hair, side whiskers and a determined chin”, McCoy’s contribution to the advancement of natural science lies in the National Museum of Victoria which in the last decade of his life was recognised internationally as one of the world's great national history museums.
Residing at Maritima - South Road, Brighton Beach, McCoy died on 13 May 1899 and was buried with Church of England rites; in January 1891 he became the first professor of an Australian university to be knighted.

 The Victorian Naturalist 118 (5)
McCoy’s development of a national museum on the University grounds is noted and some assessment is made of his contribution to science teaching at the University.
McCoy was convinced that the coals were all of Mesozoic age and Clarke, during the period from 1847 to his death in 1878, maintained equally vehemently that they were Palaeozoic.
Frederick McCoy contributed to the knowledge of the fossil record of the Tasmanian Devil Sarcophilus harrisii Boitard, 1842 in Victoria by including a number of figured specimens in the Prodromus of the Palaeontology of Victoria (McCoy 1882).

 The University of Melbourne 150th Anniversary
McCoy’s chief interest was in museums and having carried the entire collection of the Government Museum to his rooms in 1856, he was gazetted to the unpaid position of Director of the Museum of Natural and Applied Sciences the following year.
A protracted battle for the construction of a museum within the University grounds was won in 1862 and the building (which after his death became the Student Union) opened in 1864, ushering in a period of ceaseless battles with government over funding.
McCoy served on numerous government bodies and was a staunch supporter of technical education in Victoria.

She named her son Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey; he never knew or saw his father.
(Frederick adopted the name Douglass much later.) Douglass's childhood, though he judged it in his autobiography as being no more cruel than that of scores of others caught in similar conditions, appears to have been extraordinarily deprived of personal warmth.

In 1924, McCoy was charged with the murder of his lover, was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

 150 years of pressed plants: The colourful history of the University of Melbourne’s Herbarium collection : UniNews : ...
In 1856 Frederick McCoy, Foundation Professor of Natural Science, received a duplicate set of herbarium specimens from the government collection that had been acquired by Ferdinand von Mueller, then Victoria’s Government Botanist.
McCoy possibly used the specimens for teaching botany and incorporated the Herbarium into the National Museum of Victoria, which under his directorship was housed at the University.
Although the training of students in molecular systematics and bioinformatics is relatively new, the practice of using herbarium specimens to teach botanical science, as McCoy presumably did during the 1850s, continues today.
