Abstract: This article deals with the experiences of seven young Australian economists who studied at Cambridge University during the 1930s. Their views, recollections and experiences of Cambridge are gathered predominantly through their correspondence with Sir Douglas Copland. While Keynes’s contact and influence with the antipodean economists has been captured by Donald Markwell (2000) and Alex Millmow (2010) and others, this study looks at the formative experience Cambridge had on these young, aspiring economists. Several of them attended Cambridge by dint of being awarded Rockefeller Fellowships, while others undertook study there largely at their own expense
