    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

In this paper a brief summary will be given about the historical development of geomagnetism as a science in southern Africa and particularly the role played by Hermanus Magnetic Observatory in this regard. From a very modest beginning in 1841 as a recording station at the Cape of Good Hope, Hermanus Magnetic Observatory is today part of the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), where its geomagnetic field data are extensively used in international research projects ranging from the physics of the geo-dynamo to studies of the near-Earth space environment. 1 Introduction Keetmanshoop enable studies of secular variation patterns over southern Africa and the influence of the South Atlantic The requirements of navigation during the era of explo- Magnetic Anomaly (e.g. Pavón-Carasco and De Santis, ration, rather than any scientific interest in geomagnetism, 2016) on the characteristics of the global geomagnetic prompted the recording of geomagnetic field components field.

    THE MINUTE BOOK OF THE CAPE TOWN BRANCH OF THE CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA, 1927 - 1940 J Murray ( University of Cape Town) 1 This article surveys the contents of archival material found in the manuscript and archives section of the Special Collections of the University of Cape Town Libraries. In particular , it scrutinises the activities recorded in the Minute Book of the Cape Town Branch of the Classical Association of South Africa, 1927 - 1940. The details found in the Minute Book shed valuab le light on the teaching and research of classical antiquity in South Africa in the early part of the twentieth century, illuminating a lesser - known period of the history of the Classical Association of South Africa . Keywords : History of Classical Scholar ship; Classical e ducation; Classical Association of South Africa; South African h istory; i ntellectual h istory . In his record of the Classical Association of South Africa, 1908 - 1956, William Henderson noted that, ‘There was also a CASA during the years 192 7 - 1956, until now considered the “first”, but henceforth to be regarded as the “second ” . Very little has been written about and not much interest shown in this second association, probably because of lack of information, most of it buried in archives or lo st’. 2 More information is to be found in the Minute Book of the Cape Town Branch of the Classical Association of South Africa, covering the years 1927 to 1940, housed in the manuscripts and archives section of the Special Collections of the University of C ape Town Libraries (file BCS20).

  • Looking Backwards: How to Be a South African University
    8 Educational Research for Social Change (ERSC) Volume: 4 No. 2, October 2015 pp. 8-21 ersc.nmmu.ac.za ISSN: 2221-4070 Looking backwards: How to be a South African university Crain Soudien Human Sciences Research Council, South Africa Abstract In this paper, I argue that the contemporary South African university cannot be understood and engaged with outside of an appreciation of its constitutive beginnings. “Race” is central to these beginnings but how it takes form, is worked with and deployed in the university is, to be historically accurate, not a deliberate teleological project. The approach I take in this work is to see it rather as a site of perverse ambivalence. I argue that this ambivalence is unable to impede the momentum of “whiteness” as a sense- making paradigm in which the university is to operate. It is not, however, a totalising apparatus. Contestation surrounds it, even in its most powerful moments. I suggest, in terms of this, that even as white dominance deepens there continue to be agents who both reflect on and act critically on the circumstances in which they find themselves. The first part of the paper provides a brief description of the inauguration of the higher education system. A second looks at the social conditions in which this inauguration played out. A third part then looks at how the universities in their engagement with this social context responded in determining who should come to it and what should be taught. Flowing from this, the paper closes with preliminary thoughts on how the South African university might begin to address its constitutive challenges.

  • 5 the Transformation of the Cape University
    5 Thetransformation of the Cape university From 1910, higher education became a concern of the national government. Louis Botha chose Francois Stephanus Malan to be the Union of South Africa’s first Minister of Education and he brought to his task a knowledge of problems in this field gained when he had filled a similar position in the Merriman admini­ stration at the Cape. Malan was to be ably assisted in the diffi­ cult years which lay ahead by the Under-Secretary for Educa­ tion, George Morgan Hofmeyr, the former Registrar of the Victoria College. The University of the Cape of Good Hope did what it could in the early years of Union to make itself a more distinctly national body. Having accepted Dutch up to Matriculation level, Council, in 1914 and 1915, responded to requests by permitting the use of that language for degree examination purposes. The second Afrikaans language campaign was already well under way then, but despite the efforts of such leaders in the movement as J. J. Smith and “Tobie” Muller, the university was not prepared to entertain the introduction of a new medium. The Cape University adopted a more South African outlook in another direction by holding some of its meetings in centres other than Cape Town. Council and its committees not only assembled in the Mother City after 1911, but also in Pretoria, Pietermaritzburg and Bloemfontein. Nevertheless, the Cape in­ stitution continued to be assailed from all sides in its capacity as South Africa’s examining board for both school children and college students.
