Monash University is Australia's largest university with over 55,000 students.
The university is named after the prominent Australian general Sir John Monash and took its first students in 1961.
Monash University has contributed $5M towards the $206M cost of the synchrotron as a member of the funding partnership for the initial suite of beamlines.
In July, Monash, along with the other brigade commanders of the AIF, was promoted to Brigadier General, an appointment backdated to his assumption of command of the 4th Infantry Brigade on 15 September 1914.
Monash was a staunch supporter of raids, but their tactical value was low, and they were detested by the men.
Monash believed that its strength was in its firepower, and had calculated that a battalion of 700 would be just as effective, as the majority of its firepower came from is automatic weapons.
