Rex Frampton Pennington (with acknowledgements to the Cape Argus) . 203 FOREWORD FOR me it has been a great privilege and pleasure to write this brief for eword to the history of Michaelhouse. To have worked with seven of her ni ne Rectors and to have produced the tenth has been a unique experience. T his justifies me in paying a warm tribute to the author Tony Barrett for his inspired work. A successful historian has to project himself into the past and recreate a forgotten stage and players so well that his readers will feel they are sharing with live characters their pioneer work. I am only one of hundreds who will agree that Tony's task has been well and t ruly done. When 'Bok' passed away at his beloved Philpotts in Sussex in i960, the Committee of the Old Boys' Club resolved at once that the story of Mich aelhouse should be associated with a memorial to Charles Walton Hannah. The Board of Governors readily co-operated. This splendid account of t he establishment and growth of our great school has resulted, recording for posterity the struggles of the early days under our founder Canon James Cameron Todd. His triumphant migration to Balgowan assisted by Ha nnah and many others makes fascinating reading. I rejoice that at last, seventy-three years after our founder began his work in three cottages in Loop Street, Pietermaritzburg, a worthy record of the school's prog ress is available. Ken Pennington ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Except for the chapters on Morgan and Norwood, this book is based on a th esis presented in part fulfilment of the requirements of the M.Ed. Degree of the University of Natal. The curious will find in the thesis a detail ed bibliography: the purpose of this note is simply to indicate the main sources and to record my thanks to some of the very many people who contr ibuted to this chronicle. From the first, under the editorship of Dobree, S. Michael's Chronicle wa s intended not simply for contemporaries but as a record for posterity. I t was from this record that I drew most of the information about the acti vities at the school. But the Chronicle can rarely survey more than the s urface. The Board Minutes and Rectors' Reports, which the Board of Govern ors kindly placed at my disposal, a few old Letter Books and the Minutes of the Old Boys' Club often probe deeper and at least look at the school from a standpoint different from the staff and boys who contributed to th e Chronicle. To set the story in some perspective, I had the advantage of a number of other histories of schools, particularly: R. F. Currey St Andrew's Coll ege, Grahamstown 1855-1955 (Blackwell, 1955); A. F. Hattersley Hilton Po rtrait (Shuter and Shooter, 1943); H. D. Jennings The D.H.S. Story 1866- 1966 (D.H.S. and Old Boys' Memorial Trust, 1966); R. W. Kent College 186 3-1963; and D. McIntyre The Diocesan College, Ronde-bosch, South Africa: A Century of Bishop's (Juta, 1950). Reports of the Director of Educatio n for Natal and, especially for the story of Bishop's (Pietermaritzburg) , the contemporary press (The Natal Witness and The Times of Natal) gave an official and a public view of schooling in Natal. Local records are necessarily silent on the lives of the earlier Rectors before they came to Natal. I am therefore particularly grateful to a nu mber of men who helped to fill in some gaps, notably: Lord Todd, Master of Christ's College (Todd's College); the Librarian of the College of St Mark and St John as well as Professor M. Hugh-Jones for information abo ut Hugh-Jones; the authorities of Caius College, Uppingham and Glenalmon d and Mr A. W. Brown (Brown's nephew) for Brown's earlier career; and th e authorities of Jesus College and vii Uppingham and Mrs E. Martin (Pascoe's niece) for information about Pascoe . It was singularly difficult to obtain biographical information about To dd until my brother, M. M. Barrett, visited his grave-to find the date of his birth! The verger chanced to mention Todd's daughters and a happy co ntact was thus established with Mrs J. Howard and Mrs M. Champion, who pr ovided the information about their father's life after he left Natal. One of the many pleasures of writing the story of Michaelhouse, indeed, was from establishing and re-establishing contact with the men (and wo men) associated with the school in one way or another. To have the fran k and generous reminiscences and comments of four Rectors-W. F. Bushell , R. F. Currey, F.R. Snell and R.T. S. Norwood -was invaluable; to meet Bushell for the first time and to renew acquaintance with Currey and S nell and to talk to Norwood were extra pleasures. K. M. Pennington was most generous in putting his unrivalled knowledge of the school at my d isposal. Old Boys, I discovered, do not rush forward with reminiscences of the best years of their lives, but some from every generation from C. F. Moor onwards responded warmly to my requests for information and, though they will only rarely recognise their contribution, without the m I could not have attempted to convey the flavour of the school. I am most grateful to the Old Boys' Club for sponsoring this project and to the Board for supporting it; and especially to the Old Boys' committee , under the chairmanship of George Boyes, for their patience and to the m embers who helped to prepare the work for publication. Finally, for advic e and help throughout the enterprise, both the Club and I are greatly ind ebted to Messrs Shuter and Shooter, who placed their professional skill a t our disposal. A. M. Barrett Pietermaritzburg. December, 1968. CHAPTER ONE A Precursor of Michaelhouse 'THE two years at th' academy'ud ha' done well enough, if I'd meant to mak e a miller and farmer of him, but he's had a fine sight more schoolin' nor I ever got. But I should like Tom to be a bit of a scholard, so as he might be up to the tricks o' these fellows as talk fine and write with a flourish.' And so Tom Tulliver was sent to be educated by a clergyman with the magic formula "M.A.Oxon" after his name. When The Mill on the Floss was published (i860) there were many respecta ble millers and farmers in England who would have shared Mr Tulliver's o pinion: schooling was not something accepted as part of the natural orde r of things but a possibility to be debated (if it was considered at all ) in a serious family conclave. In the very next year, the Newcastle Com mission reported on the state of education in England. It indicated that large numbers did not attend school at all and that most attended for n o more than four years. Of a total of just over two-and-a-half million p upils, only thirty-five thousand were reckoned to be in public and endow ed grammar schools; and, as a subsequent report showed (The Taunton Comm ission, 1868), many of these offered little more than an elementary educ ation. Education was nevertheless a lively issue. Elementary education w as provided for the bulk of the children, chiefly by the Anglican 'Natio nal' schools, and the famous Act of 1870 provided for local boards to ma ke education compulsory. Moreover, efforts were being made to broaden th e curriculum, both in elementary schools-where the three Rs predominated and the fourth (Religion) aroused controversy-and in grammar and public schools. The Clarendon Commission drew attention to the narrowly interp reted classical education which meant that 'much (time) is absolutely th rown 2 HISTORY OF MICHAELHOUSE away' and boys left at the age of 19 unable to write correct English; and public schools-those not receiving state aid or being run for private prof it-were not only being reformed through the influence of men like Arnold o f Rugby and Thring of Uppingham but were also proliferating to cater for t he needs of the rising middle class.

  • Newsletter #4 October 2019 Dear Old Boys Even in the Relative Quiet of the Balgowan Valley We Are Amazed That the End of the Year Is Almost on Us
    Newsletter #4 October 2019 Dear Old Boys Even in the relative quiet of the Balgowan Valley we are amazed that the end of the year is almost on us. Just a few weeks until the boys pack their laughter and lively noise into cars and buses, leaving silent cloisters in their wake. It has been a full and eventful year at Michaelhouse and we have enjoyed recording the more recent Old Boy happenings in this newsletter. Ryan Thomson is our past Senior Prefect featured in this edition. The solar cooker, which Ryan developed during his engineering studies may well become one of my retirement projects! Robbie Leggat is completing the St Michael Statue commissioned by Graham McIntosh, which will soon be a prominent feature at the front of school. Christian Botha returned to school to open the Matric Art Exhibition and inspire our current art students. A few more old boys who are leading schools and making a difference to the lives of young people in classrooms around the world, have found their way onto these pages, as has Simon d ’Aubrey, making his name on agriculture. Storm Green has made the queen’s birthday honours list and Tim Harkness met James Fleming at the Elite Sport Summit Conference in Cape town, where he provided new insights into the psychology of success in sport. Old Boys continue to excel on the rivers, on their bikes and on the sports fields globally, performing well in the Berg and Bush, Amashova, Fish River Marathon and on the rugby field in Ireland. Joshin Raghubar is a John McNulty Prize laureate for his work in IT and the Midlands Branch managed to entice Keith Begg to Fordoun where he shared his inspirational life work in wildlife filming and, more recently, community-based conservation in Niassa.

  • Towards an Assessment of Fresh Expressions of Church in Acsa
    TOWARDS AN ASSESSMENT OF FRESH EXPRESSIONS OF CHURCH IN ACSA (THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF SOUTHERN AFRICA) THROUGH AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE COMMUNITY SUPPER AT ST PETER’S CHURCH IN MOWBRAY, CAPE TOWN REVD BENJAMIN JAMES ALDOUS DISSERTATION PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTORAL PHILOSOPHY IN THEOLOGY (PRACTICAL THEOLOGY) IN THE FACULTY OF THEOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH APRIL 2019 SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IAN NELL Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: April 2019 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Fresh Expressions of Church is a growing mission shaped response to the decline of mainline churches in the West. Academic reflection on the Fresh Expressions movement in the UK and the global North has begun to flourish. No such reflection, of any scope, exists in the South African context. This research asks if the Fresh Expressions of Church movement is an appropriate response to decline and church planting initiatives in the Anglican Church in South Africa. It also seeks to ask what an authentic contextual Fresh Expression of Church might look like. Are existing Fresh Expression of Church authentic responses to church planting in a postcolonial and post-Apartheid terrain? Following the work of the ecclesiology and ethnography network the author presents an ethnographic study of The Community Supper at St Peter’s Mowbray, Cape Town.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • The Legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli's Christian-Centred Political
    Faith and politics in the context of struggle: the legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli’s Christian-centred political leadership Simangaliso Kumalo Ministry, Education & Governance Programme, School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Abstract Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli, a Zulu Inkosi and former President-General of the African National Congress (ANC) and a lay-preacher in the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) is a significant figure as he represents the last generation of ANC presidents who were opposed to violence in their execution of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. He attributed his opposition to violence to his Christian faith and theology. As a result he is remembered as a peace-maker, a reputation that earned him the honour of being the first African to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Also central to Luthuli’s leadership of the ANC and his people at Groutville was democratic values of leadership where the voices of people mattered including those of the youth and women and his teaching on non-violence, much of which is shaped by his Christian faith and theology. This article seeks to examine Luthuli’s legacy as a leader who used peaceful means not only to resist apartheid but also to execute his duties both in the party and the community. The study is a contribution to the struggle of maintaining peace in the political sphere in South Africa which is marked by inter and intra party violence. The aim is to examine Luthuli’s legacy for lessons that can be used in a democratic South Africa.

  • The Anglican Diocese of Natal a Saga of Division and Healing the New Cathedral of the Holy Nativity in Pietermaritzburg Was Dedicated in November of This Year
    43 The Anglican Diocese of Natal A Saga of Division and Healing The new cathedral of the Holy Nativity in Pietermaritzburg was dedicated in November of this year. The vast cylinder of red brick stands next to the smaller neo-gothic shale and slate church of St Peter which was consecrated in 1857. The period of 124 years between the two events carries a tale of division which in its lurid details is as ugly as the subsequent process of reunion has been fruitful. Now follows the saga of division and healing. In 1857 when St Peter's was first opened for worship there was already tension between the dean and bishop, though it was still below the surface. The private correspondence of Bishop John William Colenso shows that he would have preferred his former college friend, the Reverend T. Patterson Ferguson, to be dean. Dean James Green on the other hand was writing to Metopolitan Robert Gray of Cape Town and complaining about Colenso's methods of administering the diocese. The disagreements between the two men became public during the following year, 1858. Dean Green, together with Canon John David Jenkins, walked out. of the cathedral when they heard Colenso preaching about the theology of the eucharist. Although they later returned, Colenso had to administer holy communion unassisted. Later in the year the same men, together with Archdeacon C.F. Mackenzie and the Reverend Robert Robertson, walked out of a conference of clergy and laity of the diocese. On each occasion the dean and bishop were differing on points of detail.
