   Nominal sponsor of the Melbourne Cyprus Expedition's 1955 season (Vasilia-Kafkallia near Kyrenia, then rescue excavations at Nicosia-Ayia Paraskevi). Melbourne held the funds and audited the accounts but did not contribute financially; the project was run with Stewart's own money because it could not be administered through the University of Sydney.
