You’ll have noticed that the 2014 magazine not only has a new look — it has a new name too. If, like most people these days, you rely on email and social media for written communication, you may not recognise 3010 as the postcode for Parkville. The postcode is unique to the University of Melbourne and while today the University extends far beyond 3010, we wanted to recognise the place where it all started 161 years ago.
