The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) was founded in 1915
as a benevolence of the perpetual charitable Walter and Eliza Hall Trust.
"...an Institute as the Southern Hemisphere has never known ...[which] shall
above all things devote itself to medical research in a broad and comprehensive spirit"
"... the birthplace of discoveries rendering signal service to mankind in the
prevention and removal of disease and the mitigation of suffering"
[Quotes from documents of Sir Harry Allen, Dean of
Medicine, University of Melbourne, 1915]
