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)
“Vain men delight in telling what Honours have been done them, what great Company they have kept, and the like; by which they plainly confess, that these Honours were more than their Due, and such as their Friends would not believe if they had not been told: Whereas a Man truly proud, thinks the greatest Honours below his Merit, and consequently scorns to boast. I therefore deliver it as a Maxim that whoever desires the Character of a proud Man, ought to conceal his Vanity.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
