At the discretion of the Departments concerned, a prize of $100 annually will be awarded to the best UFT Bachelor of Theology or Master of Divinity student in first, second and third level Biblical Studies, and first and third level Church History units.
H. F. Leatherland Exhibition
Dr Harold Leatherland, a Congregational minister, was instrumental in establishing the United Faculty of Theology and served as its President from 1969 until his retirement. He died in August 1977. His main academic contribution was in the field of liturgical study. The H. F. Leatherland Exhibition is awarded bi-ennially (the next award being due in 2010). The Exhibition valued at $500 is open to any person in Australia, and to persons in other countries enrolled for an MCD degree or diploma. The award is given for an essay of 3000 to 5000 words on a subject in the liturgical field approved by the Melbourne College of Divinity and the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Academy of Liturgy. Applications for approval of essay subjects must be made to the Dean of the MCD no later than 31 August in the year of the award, the closing date for essay submissions being 31 October of that year.
