A window to our past

Herbert Cole “Nugget” Coombs was a founding member of ANU. As Director-General of Post-War Reconstruction, Herbert advocated for a new research institution in Canberra as an essential part of recovery after the Second World War. He became the University’s fourth Chancellor in 1968.
A long-time advocate for Indigenous affairs, Herbert is remembered as “a small man with an immense heart and intellect”.
