Professor Mansfield was a pioneering leader at Macquarie University where from 1965 he occupied the first History chair in the Professoriate and later served as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic).

One of Professor Mansfield’s many contributions to the University was his co-authorship of Liberality of Opportunity, a historical account of the first 25 years of Macquarie University’s history.

Macquarie will celebrate Professor Mansfield’s contribution to the University at a campus memorial service in October. Further details of the event will be communicated in coming weeks through This Week.
