INTRODUCTION
Biographical
note
William
Philip Schreiner (1857-1919) was born in the Wittebergen Reserve in the Herschel
district of the Cape Colony and was educated at Bedford, the South African
College and the University of the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1878 he went to London University and Downing College, Cambridge where
he took a First in the London LL.B. examination and was senior jurist in the
Cambridge Law Tripos.
In 1882
he was admitted to the English bar and as an advocate of the Cape Supreme Court
returned to Cape Town where he established a thriving law practice.
In 1885 he became parliamentary draughtsman and in 1887, legal adviser to
the Governor and High Commissioner. His
parliamentary contacts brought him into close proximity with South African
political life, reinforcing his interest in political affairs and in 1893 he
entered parliament as the member for Kimberley.
He became Attorney-General for the Rhodes ministry until the Jameson
Raid, after which he broke completely with Rhodes and resigned with the rest of
the ministry in 1896.
In 1898
he was elected member for Malmesbury and in October of that year became the
Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. In
that capacity he strove valiantly to preserve peace between the British
Government and the Boer Republics. Irreconcilable
differences within his cabinet forced him to resign in June 1900 and he reverted
to law, not returning to parliament until 1908 when he won the seat for
Queenstown. In 1908 Schreiner was
asked by J X Merriman to represent the Cape at the National Convention but
declined as he was already committed to defending Dinuzulu on trial for alleged
participation in the rebellion of 1906. He
campaigned vigorously for political and economic federation and also for the
political rights of Black people, particularly with regard to the Union Bill of
1910. After Union he was one of the
first senators nominated to look after Black interests and in 1914 he accepted
the position of High Commissioner for South Africa in London.
He held this office until his death on 28 June 1919.
He was
the younger brother to Olive Schreiner and married in 1884, Frances Hester
Reitz, sister of F W Reitz, president of the Orange Free State from 1889-1895.
They had two sons and two daughters.
THE
COLLECTION
The W P
Schreiner Papers were donated to the University of Cape Town Libraries in 1963
and 1992 by his grandsons Mr P R S Scott and Dr G S G Scott and number ca 1700
items.
Richard
Solomon. W P Schreiner's historic
letter to Cecil Rhodes after the Jameson Raid, in which he tenders his
resignation, is also in the collection.
There
is much highly important material relating to the months preceding the outbreak
of the South African War, 1899-1902 and to the opening months of the war.
Both the correspondence and the newspaper clippings provide interesting
information on the Commission of Enquiry into the Jameson Raid, 1897 and the
Black Franchise question just prior to Union.
The collection is also a useful research source for topics like customs
and railways, 1898-1899, the Customs Conference in Bloemfontein in 1896 and the
trial of the Zulu chief, Dinuzulu in 1909.
There
are no restrictions on the use of the collection, but permission should first be
obtained from the University Librarian.
