Posthumous Honours
In 1972 Bruce was honoured on a postage stamp bearing his portrait issued by Australia Post. The Canberra suburb of Bruce, and the electoral Division of Bruce based in south-east Melbourne, are both named after Stanley Bruce.
Melbourne Grammar School also has a house named after him, Bruce House. Bruce Hall, at the Australian National University, is also named in his honour.

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or honours:
“Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
