The University of Sydney, Australia's oldest university, is inaugurated in Sydney.

The University of Sydney (USYD) is a public research university in Sydney, Australia. Founded in 1850, it is the oldest university in both Australia and Oceania. One of Australia's six sandstone universities, it was one of the world's first universities to admit students solely on academic merit, and opened its doors to women on the same basis as men.

The university comprises eight academic faculties and university schools, through which it offers bachelor, master and doctoral degrees.
