Coleman Phillipson

[5] Sir Frederick Smith, (later Lord Chancellor) in a standard work, gave his opinion that "Professor Phillipson is one of the greatest living authorities on international law".

[1] In December 1919 the Registrar of the University of Adelaide (C. R. Hodge) announced that Phillipson had been appointed Professor of Law, a post made vacant by the resignation, due to ill health, of Dr Jethro Brown.

He gave many public lectures while in Adelaide, including: Phillipson resigned on 15 May 1925 after a series of attacks on his practice of giving private lessons to students who were falling behind in their grades, and rumors of blackmail.

Get out, you dirty swine.He also complained of lack of documentary resources for his research and the council's refusal to allow him to practise Law privately.

Mrs Phillipson accompanied her husband to Australia, and while there took part in the Adelaide Repertory Society's production of Israel Zangwill's The Melting Pot as "Frau Quixano".
