XLIX 7}ecember 1935 No. 216 ������������������������������� THE QUATERCENTENARY CELEBRATION OF ST JOHN OF HE RO CHESTER joi!1t celebration of the four-hundredth anniversary Tof the death of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, on Tower Hill by the four Cambridge colleges, Trinity, St John's, Queens', and Christ's, specially connected with him has coincided with his canonisation at Rome by the Pope. As readers of The Eagle will know the canonisation, following, as is usual, on the earlier beatification of several years ago, took place in St Peter's with full pontifical ceremony on May 19th. Photographs of Fisher's portrait in the College Hall and autographs in the College Archives had been sent to the Vatican earlier in the year, and the College received in return the printed process of the canonisation as well as the beautiful medal struck for the occasion with the portrait heads of Fisher and his fellow-sufferer, Sir Thomas More. Both these are now in the College Library. The four colleges, however, celebrated on July 24th, not so much the heroic death as the saintly life of one of the most eminent members and benefactors of the University. 1469-1535 To the University Fisher was successively Senior Proctor, JOHN FISHER, Vice-Chancellor, and Chancellor.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

In this paper a brief summary will be given about the historical development of geomagnetism as a science in southern Africa and particularly the role played by Hermanus Magnetic Observatory in this regard. From a very modest beginning in 1841 as a recording station at the Cape of Good Hope, Hermanus Magnetic Observatory is today part of the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), where its geomagnetic field data are extensively used in international research projects ranging from the physics of the geo-dynamo to studies of the near-Earth space environment. 1 Introduction Keetmanshoop enable studies of secular variation patterns over southern Africa and the influence of the South Atlantic The requirements of navigation during the era of explo- Magnetic Anomaly (e.g. Pavón-Carasco and De Santis, ration, rather than any scientific interest in geomagnetism, 2016) on the characteristics of the global geomagnetic prompted the recording of geomagnetic field components field.

  • History of the Formation of Christ Church, South Ossett 1851-1964
    CHRIST CHURCH SOUTH OSSETT 1851 - 1964 Brief extracts taken from the VICARS LOG BOOK begun by Rev’d John H. Ward THE FORMATION OF THE PARISH [Written by Rev’d John H Ward soon after he became Vicar in 1884 - some of the information was given to Mr Ward by C.E. Priestley, who was living at Highfield Cottage, at the time. The Document was found in the Boxes deposited at the WYAS Ref. WDP 189] The parish of South Ossett is an Ecclesiastical District originally taken out of the Parish of Dewsbury. It comprises the southern portion of the township now under the jurisdiction of the Ossett Local Board, the boundary between South Ossett and Ossett cum Gawthorpe running as follows – from the river by Healey Old Mill up Runtlings Lane and along West Wells Rd., to the end of Bank Street, down Queen St., as far as Prospect Rd., along Prospect Rd., by Little Town End and Great Field Lane, across the railway and down the little lane towards Teall-town, the beck that flows from Spring Mill to Spring End being the East boundary, dividing South Ossett from the Parishes of Alverthorpe and St Michael’s. The history of the formation of this Parish is as follows: - The parish of Ossett cum Gawthorpe which is represented now by the Ossett cum Gawthorpe Local Board Dist, though not as large as many parishes were 50 yrs ago (notable for instance the neighbouring parish of Thornhill), was yet too large a district to be supervised spiritually by one Vicar and his curate (if he had one).

    THE MINUTE BOOK OF THE CAPE TOWN BRANCH OF THE CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA, 1927 - 1940 J Murray ( University of Cape Town) 1 This article surveys the contents of archival material found in the manuscript and archives section of the Special Collections of the University of Cape Town Libraries. In particular , it scrutinises the activities recorded in the Minute Book of the Cape Town Branch of the Classical Association of South Africa, 1927 - 1940. The details found in the Minute Book shed valuab le light on the teaching and research of classical antiquity in South Africa in the early part of the twentieth century, illuminating a lesser - known period of the history of the Classical Association of South Africa . Keywords : History of Classical Scholar ship; Classical e ducation; Classical Association of South Africa; South African h istory; i ntellectual h istory . In his record of the Classical Association of South Africa, 1908 - 1956, William Henderson noted that, ‘There was also a CASA during the years 192 7 - 1956, until now considered the “first”, but henceforth to be regarded as the “second ” . Very little has been written about and not much interest shown in this second association, probably because of lack of information, most of it buried in archives or lo st’. 2 More information is to be found in the Minute Book of the Cape Town Branch of the Classical Association of South Africa, covering the years 1927 to 1940, housed in the manuscripts and archives section of the Special Collections of the University of C ape Town Libraries (file BCS20).
