Laurie, Henry, M.A., LL.D., was appointed Lecturer on Logic in Melbourne University in 1881, and in the following year Lecturer on Logic and Philosophy. In consequence of the success attending the introduction of philosophy into the University, a chair of mental and moral philosophy was founded, and in 1886 Dr. Laurie was appointed its first Professor, a position which he still holds.
