1099 THE SACS RHODES SCHOLARSHIP PAPERS
Manuscripts & Archives
University of Cape Town Libraries
Papers
relating to the successful opposition by four schools (South African College
Schools [SACS], Diocesan College, St Andrews College and Paul Roos Gymnasium) to
the re-allocation of the Rhodes Scholarship.
The
papers are arranged in chronological order, from the petition signed by most of
the Rhodes scholars in residence, requesting the Trustees of the Rhodes
Scholarship to seek permission from the Charity Commissioners to request
Parliament to remove the four scholarships from the Private Act, until 1991,
when the action was dropped.
The
papers include a large amount of correspondence: with the legal firms involved
with the case and between the schools, and minutes of meetings of the joint
committee of the four schools, which formed to fight the possible removal of the
Scholarship. They also include
records of the earlier successful action, in 1972-3, to prevent the scholarship
being removed from the four schools. Also
included are copies of the affidavits which were to be used in the case. Also of interest is information on the terms of Rhodes’
will, as it related to the Rhodes Scholarships.
The
process whereby state schools in South Africa gradually became non-racial in the
1980s and 1990s is also documented.
