Abstract
-
This digitised archival document records the Rhodes University graduation ceremony held on Friday, 7 April 1972, in the University Great Hall. The nine-page programme identifies university officeholders, outlines the ceremonial proceedings and records the conferral of an honorary Doctor of Literature degree on Dr Alan Paton. It lists graduates across several faculties, including Arts, Education and Divinity, with qualifications in English, history, economics, African studies, psychology, fine art, music and theology. Postgraduate research topics include fear in snakes, visual recognition and vigilance, the geography of five magisterial districts in the Eastern Cape, church mission policy in Ovamboland, peer-group leadership, the development of stringed keyboard instruments and literary interpretations of Shakespeare’s tragedies. The programme also documents diplomas and certificates in librarianship, education, fine art, music, law, photography, social work and theology, alongside scholarships, bursaries and academic prizes awarded for work completed in 1971. As a primary historical source, it preserves graduate achievements and provides valuable evidence of Rhodes University’s academic activities, research interests and professional training in the early 1970s, supporting institutional, biographical and genealogical research.
