The building was made possible by a donation of 30,000 pound by Samuel Wilson (1832-1895). Wilson arrived in Victoria from Ireland in 1852 to join his three brothers who had stablished squatting runs in the Wimmera during the 1840's. With the assistance of his brothers, he purchased Longerenong station on the Wimmera River, from which beginnings he established a vast pastoral empire. At the time of his donation to the university in 1874, Wilson's income was estimated at 100,000 pound a year and he was reputed to own more sheep than anyone else in the world, with 600,000 head spread across his vast landholdings.
