ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book would not have been possible without the help and kindness of many people, 'who may not entirely agree with the views it expresses. I am greatly indebted to Mr D. H.

And how can I forget the kindness with which Dr Killie Campbell gave me the freedom of her rich library of Africana at Durban for three months, and the helpfulness of her staff, especially Miss Mignon Herring. The Johannesburg Public Library gave me unstinted help, for which I am particularly indebted to Miss J. Ogilvie of the Africana section and her assistants. Professor A.

  • A History of Bishops’
    1 ‘A HISTORY OF BISHOPS’ By Paul Murray, College Archivist. THE DIOCESAN COLLEGIATE SCHOOL/DIOCESAN COLLEGE – BEGINNINGS Diocesan College (Bishops) opened its doors to six students on 15 March 1849 at Bishopscourt. The school was founded on the principles of the English Church. It has continued to be a school in the Anglican Church tradition to this day. On the day that it opened, Sophie Gray, the wife of the school’s Founder, Robert Gray, was present and he was away on official duties on the island of St Helena. The opening ceremony was conducted by the first Principal, the Reverend Henry Master White and the Vice-Principal the Reverend Badnall. Thus was born the school that is today known as ‘Bishops’. White was very much an academic scholar. His ‘blue eyes used to pale into a steel grey’ if boys did not live up to his expectations. He equipped the minds of boys with a broad education rather than for specific professions. Divinity, English, Mathematics, Modern Languages, History, Geography, Drawing and Music were taught, the latter because there seemed to be a ‘mysterious connection between good music and good morals’. It was hoped that the teaching at college would also prepare those wanting to take holy orders. Mr Badnall, known to the boys as ‘Carker’ because of his set of glittering teeth, was a great lover of cricket. His kindness was apparently taken as license by the boys to behave semi-chaotically in his History classes. The school soon became too small for the growing demand and in 1850 it moved to Woodlands where it is still today.
