Jeremiah Joseph Stable

In 1902 he entered Cambridge University where he obtained an honours degree in medieval and modern languages, specialising in English literature.

However, on 27 November 1917, Stable received a hand-written message from Billy Hughes ordering him, as censor, to take possession of all printed copies of Hansard under the censorship provisions of the War Precautions Act.

Stable then went to the Victoria Barracks where he obtained a troop of Australian soldiers, and returned with them to the printing office.

His funeral was held at St Mary's Anglican Church at Kangaroo Point after which he was cremated at Mount Thompson crematorium.

[16] An open air theatre was established in his name on the grounds of the University in 1923 for third year Shakespearean students to use.

This open air theatre was officially named for him and marked with a plaque,[17] with Dame Sybil Thorndike attending this event in 1954.
