Barry Cole, the first full-time lecturer in the Australian College of Optometry (later Victorian College) would have brought this set of notes with him when he took up appointment as lecturer in 1959 because he had spent 6 months at Indiana University in the first half of 1959. The Australian College of Optometry would have prepared this document for distribution to students at Barry Cole's suggestion. Alan Johnston whose name appears on the title page was a second and third year student in the Melbourne optometry course in 1961 and 1962 respectively. The contents reflect the teaching of the accommodative convergence relationship at the time. How Acquired: Ex Nathan Library Date Acquired: 2008 Condition: Good Location: Archive office.
