La Trobe University established this annual lecture in recognition of Quick's work towards Federation and election as Bendigo's first Federal Member of Parliament. Frank Moorhouse, in his 2004 "Griffith Review" essay, "Welcome back Bakunin – Life chances in Australia: some notes of discomfort", referred to McCalman's 1993 book, "Journeyings" as "classic study of privilege". By analysing the individuals in the Australian "Who's Who 1998", McCalman showed that private schools dominated, that the "old boys club" prevailed.
