The subscribers were desirous of recording their high appreciation of the many services rendered to the public of Victoria and to the University by the Honourable Sir John Madden, KCMG, BA, LLD, Lieutenant-Governor and Chief Justice of the State of Victoria and Chancellor of the University and with his consent requested that the money so subscribed be devoted to the foundation of an exhibition in Law to be called the "John Madden Exhibition".
