Not only is he mourned as the monarch who gave years of selfless devotion to the high duty imposed upon him, but as the friend and father of " a great family of peoples." In this sad hour it is good to know that the King who, " inherited his Crown but found his own way into the hearts of his people ", was spared to realise on that splendid Jubilee Day, so short a while ago, the measure of our love and appreciation. The Heathfield Magazine January, 1956 Miss Wyatt's Message Royal Hotel, Ascot, Berks. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX Here are my usual greetings and wishes to everyone for a blessed New Year. How glad I am to let you know the immense pleasure I have had in receiving so many cards and loving thoughts; also letters from abroad have touched me greatly, from Members of the Fellowship who are making their homes in far lands,—some sufficiently near one another to meet sometimes, when reminiscences of school days are not forgotten. It has been delightful to receive happy visits from many of those who were with us in our very early days—some coming to England from afar, and who have cared to bring their husbands and children to the place of their youthful memories. We had a large gathering on our Festival of the Ascension, which was very representative, and I look forward to another meeting in the coming year. 8 THE HEATHFIELD MAGAZINE It is a joy to me to hear of the frequent visits which old girls pay to the School, and of their warm welcome. All our thanks are due to Miss Thomas for this, and for the infinite care she has given in recording the many School events of the past year in this, our Magazine. Will you be good to me and accept this, my round Robin of thanks and appreciation of the many kind wishes and birthday greetings I received as my large Christmas post prevents my acknowledging each one individually. Believe me, as always, Yours in much affection, THE HEATHFIELD MAGAZINE 9 Letter from the Head Mistress Heathfield, Ascot. Dear Members of the Heathfield Fellowship, The end of a year is an occasion for retrospect and as we glance back over the travelled road the School seems to have been fully occupied with all the usual activities, and to those must be added celebrations that marked the Silver Jubilee Year of King George. The Easter holidays were extended to include the Jubilee Day, surely the happiest event of the year—a day of brilliant sunshine on which multitudes gathered to greet the King and Queen as they drove to the solemn service of thanksgiving at St. Paul's. Such a demon- stration of affectionate loyalty has never been witnessed. How could it be otherwise when one recalls through all the eventful, often- troubled years of his reign, the steadfast devotion of our Sovereign to duty, his self-dedication to that " service of work, of mind, and of heart " which, on that day in his broadcast message, was the thought King George asked the children of the Empire to keep before them ? Ascension Day was marked at Heathfield by a large gathering of Old Girls representing every age of the School from Stanhope Gardens days to younger Old Girls who had lately left School. It was a great pleasure to welcome all, and we look forward to another such assembly on Ascension Day (May zist) this year for luncheon and tea. Many Old Girls, some bringing husband or children, have visited the School at other times during the year and we were delighted to welcome for a night Mrs Bragge (Rous Webster), an Old Girl, who is a Member of the School Council. Do remember that Fellow- ship Members are asked to suggest themselves for visits at week-ends or at other convenient times. We are grateful to those Old Girls who have responded to our appeal for news, but there must be many who are living in distant places and others nearer home whose experiences would be of great interest to Heathfield girls, past and present. School news will be found in later pages, but I must mention that on the return of the School in September it was found that a new floor had been put down in the gymnasium in the summer holi- days ; this has been a most welcome improvement and gymnastic classes are no longer occasions for gathering a large crop of splinters. It will be of interest to some of you that at the request of many parents we are venturing to start again another Westfield in the 10 THE HEATHFIELD MAGAZINE grounds at Heathfield and preparations have been made to receive girls under the age of ten. I hope that you will make this known and I shall be very glad to meet anyone who is interested. Con- tinuity in a girl's education will be assured if she comes to school at an early age and remains for at least a year after School Certificate class, whether the examination is taken or not. The last years at school give girls an opportunity for more advanced work in subjects of their choice ; they learn to work more independently, to use books in a new way, and to adopt methods that can be carried on after leaving school. Only in those last years at school is it realised that what has been learnt before makes its contribution to what we want most specially to do; moreover those privileges and attendant responsibilities that fall to a girl's lot after due preparation help her when she has to take her place in a sphere outside school. By leaving too young a girl loses the most valuable part of her school education and indeed much of the value of what has gone before. My wish for you all is that the year may be a happy one and that we may all press on to fresh efforts and enthusiasm in our work wherever it may lie. Yours sincerely, THE HEATHFIELD MAGAZINE II Chapel Notes UR most grateful thanks are again due to our Chaplain, the Rev. F. D. Browne for all his help to us both in Chapel and o School and in Confirmation Classes throughout the year. We also offer our gratitude and appreciation to the Rev. H. A. Walton and the Rev. I. Levo for their kindness and ready help in taking the week-day Eucharists for us, and to the Rev. I. Levo for taking Sunday services on several occasions. Our thanks are also extended to the Rev. G. F. C. Bond and the Rev. Ivor Lewis who have taken services for us, to the Rev. J. C. F. Wimberley, who came to address us at Evensong on Trinity Sun- day, to the Rev. Geoffrey Heald, Vicar of S. Stephen's, Clewer, and to the Rev. P. Gilliat for their addresses in Chapel in the Michaelmas Term. The Feast of the Purification, which was also the thirty-first anniversary of the Dedication of the Chapel, was observed with festal services of thanksgiving. Solemn Evensong, was sung with Procession on the Eve, and on Candlemas Day, February znd, Cor- porate Communion was celebrated at 8 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock the Sung Eucharist was preceded by the Blessing and distribution of candles, and Procession. On three Wednesdays in Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, an address was given by the Rev. A. W. Leeds. We were glad to welcome him here again, and he has our best wishes for his work in the large London parish where he took up duty in May. On March zoth, ten girls were confirmed in the Chapel by the Right Reverend the Bishop of Buckingham. The Candidates gave a very beautiful Prayer Book for the Priest's Stall in the Chapel; the Chapel is the richer for this gift which is in constant use at our services. 12 THE HEATHFIELD MAGAZINE The Quiet Half-Day on March 28th for the Confirmation Candi- dates was voluntarily kept by practically the whole of the Upper and Middle Schools. We are grateful to the Rev. E. W. Leachman for coming to conduct it for us in the middle of a busy Lent. Mothering Sunday was the day chosen for the first Communion, •when the Celebration was at 8 o'clock. On the last Sunday of the Lent Term extracts from Pergolesi's " Stabat Mater " were sung in Chapel as an act of devotion for the coming Passiontide.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pagc(s}". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed cither blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame* If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Losing an Empire, Losing a Role?: the Commonwealth Vision, British Identity, and African Decolonization, 1959-1963
    LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 By Emily Lowrance-Floyd Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey . Dr. Katherine Clark . Dr. Dorice Williams Elliott . Dr. Elizabeth MacGonagle . Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 6, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Emily Lowrance-Floyd certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 . Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Date approved: April 6, 2012 iii ABSTRACT Many observers of British national identity assume that decolonization presaged a crisis in the meaning of Britishness. The rise of the new imperial history, which contends Empire was central to Britishness, has only strengthened faith in this assumption, yet few historians have explored the actual connections between end of empire and British national identity. This project examines just this assumption by studying the final moments of decolonization in Africa between 1959 and 1963. Debates in the popular political culture and media demonstrate the extent to which British identity and meanings of Britishness on the world stage intertwined with the process of decolonization. A discursive tradition characterized as the “Whiggish vision,” in the words of historian Wm. Roger Louis, emerged most pronounced in this era. This vision, developed over the centuries of Britain imagining its Empire, posited that the British Empire was a benign, liberalizing force in the world and forecasted a teleology in which Empire would peacefully transform into a free, associative Commonwealth of Nations.

It includes chapters by leading academic experts The on the party and commentaries by three senior Conservative politicians: Lord Parkinson, Andrew Lansley MP and Ian Taylor MP. Having been the dominant force in British politics in the twentieth century, the Conservative Party suffered its heaviest general Conservatives election defeats in 1997 and 2001. This book explores the party’s current crisis and assesses the Conservatives’ failure to mount a political recovery under the leadership of William Hague. The Conservatives in crisis includes a detailed examination of the reform of the Conservative Party organisation, changes in ideology in crisis and policy, the party’s electoral fortunes, and Hague’s record as party leader. It also offers an innovative historical perspective on previous Conservative recoveries and a comparison with the revival of the US Republican Party. In the conclusions, the editors assess edited by Mark Garnett and Philip Lynch the failures of the Hague period and examine the party’s performance under Iain Duncan Smith. The Conservatives in crisis will be essential reading for students of contemporary British politics. Mark Garnett is a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Politics at the University of Leicester.

IRELAND: British Labour and British Imperialism INTRODUCTION As socialists we all want to see a socialist solution to the Irish question and we want socialism in this country. The question we have to ask and to answer is: how can we achieve this? We shall show in this pamphlet that only a clear Marxist analysis can answer this question, as Marxism is the only standpoint that can understand capitalist society from a working class point of view and that can show a way forward for workers. The occupation. of the North of Ireland by British troops, and Britain's continu­ ing political domination of the area does not present itself as an example of national oppression in its classical form. But we shall show that Ireland does indeed suffer national oppression at the hands of the British state. This oppres­ sion lies at the root of the 'Troubles'-this series of apparently senseless and bizarre acts of violence. Although the real problem is the national oppression of Ireland by the British state this has been obscured by the waves of sectarian assassinations, 'random' bombings and violence among and between the Catholic and Protestant communities.
