  • William Oughter Lonie - St Andrews Educational Reformer
    William Oughter Lonie - St Andrews educational reformer Edmund F. Robertson Mathematical Institute, University of St Andrews, North Haugh, St Andrews, KY16 9SS, Scotland William Oughter Lonie (1822-1894) was appointed Mathematics Headmaster at Madras College, St Andrews, Scotland in 1846. Thomas Brown was a pupil at the school at the time and remembered the day of his appointment (see [7]): When the Rev William Martin was promoted from the Mathematical Mastership of the Madras College to the Chair of Moral Philosophy at Aberdeen, Mr Lonie was appointed to fill the vacancy. I remember sitting one day in the Latin class, when Provost Playfair entered in company with a young man whom he introduced to Dr Woodford, and the whisper circled round the class that this was the new Mathematical Master. It was not long before he made his mark. His methods were not stereotyped or formal. He did not insist on the dry and rigid demonstrations of Euclid. He dealt with mathematics not as an exercise of memory but as an effort of intelligence and reason. In this paper we shall look in $1 at Andrew Bell, the founder of Madras College, in $2 at the Madras College, in $3 at W. O. Lonie's career, in $4 at his teaching methods and philosophy, in $5 at the work of James Walker, one of his pupils, and finally details of the later part of Lonie's life and career in $6. 1. Andrew Bell, the founder of Madras College. Andrew Bell was born in St Andrews on 27 March 1753.
