HistoryOrmond College opened in 1881 with 20 students, but by 1893 the number of students had risen to 100. The imposing stone and brick building (see virtual tour) which is the heart of the College was made possible through the generous benefaction of Francis Ormond, a western district pastoralist with a passion for education and a desire to ensure that students from afar could take advantage of the opportunities offered by The University of Melbourne.
