1915 letter written by a student at Huguenot Seminary while at Kalk Bay in South Africa. 12 pages on three folded sheets.
Price: $150.00
Note: Founded by Dr Andrew Murray in 1874, the Huguenot Seminary was the first institution of its kind for girls in South Africa. It was modelled on the lines of Mount Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. Its marked religious character served to commemorate the Huguenots.The Huguenot Seminary established Wellington as an important centre of education and gave rise to a succession of educational institutions where girls and women were also accommodated. In 1896 a Training College for teachers was established, in 1899 the Huguenot College (from 1920 until 1950, Huguenot University College), and in 1899 the Huguenot Girls’ High School. The Teachers’ Training College now goes by the name of the Boland College of Education. The University College reverted to its original name of Huguenot College in 1951 and trains social workers, youth workers and mission workers. The Huguenot Girls’ High School merged with the Boys’ School in 1954 and is now known as the Huguenot High School.
MOB 337Original archival grouping documenting the 1916–1917 activities of the Paxton Training School, Kiungchow (Qionghai), Hainan, China, a Presbyterian mission institution founded in the early 20th century to train local Chinese Christian workers. Included are multiple typed letters on period stationery from Rev. Wilbur M. Campbell, then superintendent, addressed to Mrs. William Paxton of Princeton, New Jersey, the school’s principal benefactor. The correspondence reports on the Second Annual Field & Track Meet held December 15, 1916, school enrollment, staffing, curriculum, and mission events, and provides insight into the strained international climate of the period, noting tensions between the U.S., Germany, and Mexico. The collection contains two bilingual event programs printed on orange paper, one in English listing 21 competitive events such as dashes,
MOB 337 high jumps, shot put, arithmetic race, relay race, and tug of war, and a matching Chinese-language version. Also present is the program for the school’s Second Annual Graduating Exercises, likewise in both languages. A period black-and-white photograph depicts the winners of track events in athletic uniforms, posed in front of the Kiungchow mission church, with a large Chinese caption board; the reverse is inscribed in ink, “Paxton Training School, Kiungchow, Hainan, China. Winners of track events at Field Meet Dec. 15, 1916.” Accompanying these are a detailed multi-page typed “Report of Paxton Training School” for Aug. 24, 1916–Jan. 19, 1917, signed by Campbell, describing faculty assignments, enrollment statistics, tuition, scholarships, and student outcomes. The original mailing envelope from Campbell in Kiungchow to Mrs. Paxton in Princeton is included. Condition varies, with folds, small edge tears, and minor paper loss to some sheets, consistent with age and handling. Together, these materials provide a primary-source record of an American Presbyterian mission school in early Republican-era China, illustrating its educational, athletic, and evangelistic activities during a pivotal historical moment.
