  • Clarence Harold Wilkinson
    PHOTO (courtesy x) Clarence Harold Wilkinson (1864-1922) was born 5 September 1864 to Alexander and Jane Wilkinson in West Maitland, NSW, where he attended the public school and sat junior examinations in 1880. In August 1881 Clarence sought employment with the City of Sydney as an articled pupil. By December 1881 the City’s Finance Committee recommended the appointment of Wilkinson in the City Architect's Department, noting he had completed three months' trial, with an annotation of commendation by T.H. Sapsford, the City Architect. By December 1884, having completed his articles, Wilkinson was placed on the staff as a draftsman with a salary of £125 p.a.. Clarence was a first prize winner in architecture at Sydney Technical College in recognition of studies during 1884. Wilkinson occupied some of his spare time as a member of the volunteer services, acting as a second lieutenant by 1884, and promoted to first lieutenant in 1888. By 1888 Wilkinson was the assistant city architect and building surveyor to the Municipality of Sydney, but he resigned in mid-1889. Clarence advertised with his brother Lancelot Alexander Wilkinson in the Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser from October 1899 as ‘Wilkinson & Wilkinson, Architects and Licensed Surveyors’, having offices in Sydney, Newcastle and West Maitland. With poor economic conditions in late 1890, Clarence abandoned his efforts on the east coast and soon travelled to the other side of Australia, seeking greater opportunities. Wilkinson joined the Western Australian Public Works Department (PWD) in Perth, working on a number of railway buidings. He resigned from the PWD at the end of June 1892, and after a few years as a sole practitioner, entered into partnership with E.H.

Photo: DoD. See page 38 for article on Military Operations in Cities. iii Foreword This issue of the Review includes events and activities that took place during the first half of 2003 (January to July). The normal programme of Academy business has continued with lectures, conferences, publications, international co-operation, and the awarding of grants to support individual scholars.The diversity of intellectual activity sponsored by the Academy is illustrated by reports and articles in this issue. Over the last 10 years, the Academy has contributed towards the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, an immense collaborative project to replace and extend the original Victorian endeavour.The collection of articles has been completed, and in the Spring the Academy hosted an event to introduce the on-line version which will be published with the print edition in 2004. On pages 13–15 the editor of the Dictionary,Professor Brian Harrison, compares and contrasts the modern experience with that of his predecessors. Besides contributing to such major works of fundamental scholarship, the Academy is proud of the part it plays in fostering the careers of outstanding young researchers. Through its flagship Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme, it offers 30 or more scholars annually the opportunity to spend three years pursuing independent research projects, and developing skills and experience in teaching and administration in the university environment.This year’s competition was completed in July and the successful candidates are announced in this issue, together with a short description of the research they will be undertaking.

The present conference is concerned with processes of interpretation in African societies and African studies: how do the authors of what we call ‘sources’ convey meaning in their written and oral texts? How do these meanings develop in historically specific semantic worlds? How is meaning transformed through translations, reinterpretations and struggles over meaning? How is the world made sense of in African languages and epistemic traditions, and what changes when analysts – African and non-African – make sense of African texts and societies in different discursive contexts? We wish to discuss what makes the understanding of African societies possible; what is at stake when different types of exegetes interpret the past or the present of Africa. From authors such as Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur we take the idea that understanding is always interpretive and perspectival. Understanding

  • Prize Giving
    Bishop Wordsworth's School PRIZE GIVING Guest of Honour Nick Beer Thursday 19 September 2019 3.30 pm Salisbury Cathedral 1 Head Master’s Introduction to BWS Prize Giving 2019 Given the turbulent political background to this academic year, work in school has had an uncanny sense of calm about it. We were promised relative stability in terms of academic reform, and that probably reflects the status quo over the past 12 months. The final stages of the Govian examination and syllabus reform at both 16+ and 18+ have fallen into place and the second stage of the National Funding Formula has also been implemented, giving a little more financial certainty. Sadly it became clear that the latter could be a false dawn as the government then decided to inflate the employers’ contributions to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme from 16% to 23% of pay. This sounds like a bureaucratic irrelevance; in practical terms it means that a school the size of BWS has to find an extra £170k each and every year from now on. Intense lobbying at a national level resulted in additional funding being provided through to August 2020, but there is absolutely no guarantee of any sort for the future. Our educational priorities were largely unchanged during 2018-2019; social mobility in all of its various guises loomed large, and quite rightly so, as our second 160-strong year group joined us in Year 7. Academic standards and quality of delivery in the classroom remain the principal areas of focus for my staff, and they can be proud of the excellent sets of outcomes that have emerged in the summer just past.
