- Abstract
Quote, page 103: "Over the University's first century, tens of thousands of bodies of the poor and mentally unwell citizens of Victoria were collected for teaching and scientific study. The numbers of Indigenous individual remains are unknown but must have been in the thousands. Also, the University actively collected the ramains of Indigenous Australians for its anthropological collections. Teaching aside, very little research, and almost none of any quality, was produced on these collections."
