We acknowledge the passing of a remarkable educator who contributed to knowledge via his explorations and devoted leadership of the Victoria Institute of Colleges. Phillip's early career centred around our Melbourne Teachers College and university where he gained degrees in education and science and was awarded his doctorate. His passion for education continued throughout his life. Members of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education shared his passion, acknowledged his contributions and appreciated his regular contact. On behalf of our Graduate School I offer sincere condolence to the family and friends of this great and generous man who was an inspiration to so many.
Professor Field Rickards, Dean, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, The University of Melbourne

What a guy. What a gentleman. Irrepressible in life, and whose life story will continue to inspire. A life so full; from science and the Antarctic to motoring,sports, and the arts. Although I only knew him for his last few years, I feel privileged to be touched by his "Law Luck". Sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
Sue Halliwell. Judith and Rowland Jubb, Anthea Wallhead and families.

Phillip was my colleague in education in Victoria and my friend. A fine man of adventurous nature and determination, he successfully pushed boundaries. It was a privilege to work with one whose foresight, command and true leadership led the Victorian Institute of Colleges (VIC) as Vice-President and many other activities. His legacy in education stands particularly in the strength and status of institutions associated with the VIC. His father, A.J. Law, Principal of Melbourne Teachers' College (1939 - 1950) and my teacher set a high standard. As a friend of both father and son, I have fond memories of two great men whose contributions to education in Victoria paved it's direction today. Personally, and on behalf of my family, I extend deepest sympathy to Wendy and other family members. Thank you Dr Phillip Law
