| Classroom block, boarding hostels and gym, chapel in Gothic Revival style (unfinished) (SAAE&S Jnl Oct 1905:8; Bodill 1983:96; FRIBA nom papers 1898) Here we have a big public school, where some of the best brains in South Africa have been trained. Throughout the Cape Colony, the subject of Education has received the most carefully thought-out attention; and it is to this fact that the general all-round intelligence of its people can be largely attributed. This College was founded in 1855, with a separate School Department, which is, however, under the charge of the same Headmaster. In the College Department there are Lecturers in Mathematics and Physical Science, Classics and English, Modern languages, &c. In the School Department the Headmaster is supported by no fewer than six Assistant Masters for the various branches of study.
