General Prospectus 2017 GENERAL PROSPECTUS 2017 COAT OF ARMS INTERPRETATION The design of the University’s Coat of Arms portrays the Witwatersrand gold fields in the upper part of the shield as the gold background with an open book representing learning or knowledge superimposed on a cogwheel representing industry. The wavy bars in the lower part are in silver and represent the Vaal and Limpopo rivers between which the Witwatersrand gold fields occur. Above the shield is the head of a Kudu, one of South Africa’s most powerful and typical antelopes. The motto, “Scientia et Labore”, may be interpreted as, “Through Knowledge and Work” or “Through Knowledge and Industry”.

  • Report on the State of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in South African Universities
    REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE ARTS, HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES Prepared for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Ahmed Essop December 2015 1 1. Introduction This report on the trends in, and the size and shape of, the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) at South African universities between 2000 and 2013, which was commissioned by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (AWMF), has the purpose of informing the Mellon Foundation’s “policy and practice on grant making” in AHSS at South African universities in line with the Foundation’s new Strategic Plan, which calls for “a bold and creative approach to grant making, responsive to promising new organisations as well as to established institutions” and which seeks “a larger family of grantees to underscore the potential contribution of the humanities and arts to social mobility”. The report is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, including unstructured interviews with selected academic and institutional actors in AHSS. Furthermore, in line with the Mellon Foundation’s focus, which does not include professional fields in the humanities and social sciences, the analysis focuses on the arts and non-professional humanities and social sciences (ANPH), as outlined in Appendix Two. 3. Part One: Size and Shape of AHSS in South African Universities 3.1 Background The role and status of AHSS has been the subject of public debate in the recent past as a result of two studies – the Academy of Science of South Africa’s (ASSAf) Consensus Study on the State of the Humanities in South Africa (ASSAf, 2011) and the Charter for the Humanities and Social Sciences (DHET, 2011) commissioned by the Minister of Higher Education and Training.

  • WITS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS of 1960 Newsletter #5 – Clinical Training
    WITS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS OF 1960 Newsletter #5 – Clinical Training Compiled by Chaim Rosenberg, Chicago 14 September 2020 Our Hospitals and Teachers In this Newsletter we look at some of the hospitals where our clinical training took place and pay tribute to some of our most inspiring teachers. The Second Johannesburg General Hospital, 1937-1979 – as it was in our time. Medical ‘Firms’ For the last three years of our medical training we were divided into groups referred to as ‘firms’. In fourth and fifth year we had up to nine individuals whereas in final year it was four to six. The Page 1 of 19 ‘firm’ would be assigned to heads of departments in designated hospitals for our clinical training in surgery, medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, and other specialties. We would attend ward rounds in the mornings with the chief, his registrars and house officers. The registrars, who were studying to be specialists, did the bulk of the teaching. In the afternoons, we helped with clerking the new patients. In-between, we attended lectures and demonstrations at the Medical School, located on Hospital Hill. These experiences shaped our interests and guided us in the choice of our medical careers. The hospitals for our rotations and house jobs At the time we did our clinical training 1958-60 the hospitals were as follows: • Johannesburg General Hospital: The city was only founded in 1886 soon after the discovery of gold. Its first hospital was a brick and thatch structure in Commissioner Street, that doubled as a jail. Within ten years the City of Gold had a population of 100,000, mostly black labourers.

    Southern Africa Association for the Advancement of Science Suider-Afrika Genootskap vir die Bevordering van die Wetenskap Rudolf' Marlo~h Brochure - Brosjure Annual award ceremony: November 2003 Merit Certificates The award of the following merit certificates should be seen in the light of our centenary heritage project. They are nevertheless within the ambit of all our previous awards, recognising the advancement of science in general. Mohammed Valli Moosa and pollution caused by 4 x 4 and other leisure vehicles. These seemed ineradicable symptoms of our unconcern with the living legacy we owe to future generations; in fact, an unconcern which has long been shooting our local and tourism endeavours in the foot. It helps that Mr Moosa is an accessible, unaffected and genuine environmentalist, trudging with a smile and a backpack along the reaches of the Drakensberg. His attitude and actions have been truly encouraging to scientists, environmental associations and the public at large. The legislation referred to is clearly based on ecological research, and should inspire more scientists and associations to become actively engaged in projects to preserve and rehabilitate our natural Minister Valli Moosa accepts his merit certificate heritage. With so much public attention being given to from Dr Jan Raper, President of S2A3 the condition of our living situation, it is inevitable that young scientists will realize the urgency of applying In his capacity as Minister of Environmental Affairs and their disciplines to our collective benefit.
