Abstract
-
This digitised archival document records the Rhodes University graduation ceremony held on Saturday, 9 May 1987, at East London Technical College. The five-page programme outlines the formal proceedings, identifies university officeholders and records the conferral of an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on George Howe Randell. It lists qualifications awarded in Education, Commerce and Social Science, including teaching diplomas, Bachelor of Education and Commerce degrees, and postgraduate qualifications in social work. Notable academic achievements include distinctions in philosophy of education, curriculum theory, history and comparative education, and accounting. The programme also records a Master of Fine Art awarded with distinction, a Master of Science in Ichthyology and Fisheries Science for research revising the taxonomy of the Synodontis fish genus in South Africa, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology examining the experience of happiness. As a primary institutional source, the document preserves graduate names, qualifications and research titles, providing evidence of Rhodes University’s academic activities and its graduation ceremonies in East London during the 1980s. It supports biographical, genealogical and regional historical research into higher education in the Eastern Cape.
