This university is regarded nationally and internationally as a quality teaching and learning facility. Founded in Hobart in 1890 it was the fourth university in colonial Australia. The original Domain buildings are still in use. The move to the former Sandy Bay rifle range site was not made until the mid 1950s. In 1991, the Hobart based campus merged with the Tasmanian State Institute of Technology in Launceston to form the new University of Tasmania with 12,000 students on two campuses. The first student magazine, Platypus, appeared in 1914, but in the 1920s was replaced by Togatus.
