- Description: Caption: "The Wonderboom, Ficus pretoriae, north of Pretoria. April 1965. The central parent trunk was 12 ½ feet in diameter. The secondary growth consists of 7 separate daughter groups but two of these form grand-daughters which form a third circle around the central parent. The whole canopy is given as about 165 feet in diameter, and about 75 feet high. The measurements were 186 feet. The mother tree consists of 5 close-growing stems and her canopy is about 99 feet overall. A notice at the site says that this tree was probably able to develop in this way through being held sacred and dedicated by burial to a chief and then given tribal protection. Although it is large overall it attains this by virtue of the daughter and grand-daughters groups. The fig tree at Kaffir drift has 5 central stems and no daughter groups. It is about 168 feet in diameter of canopy, i.e. without the secondary groups. The big fig tree in Bathurst village has only one central stem yet its canopy diameter is 162 feet in diameter, i.e. from one stem."

- Description: [From Introduction] How it all began. The dream of the new library began with the late Margaret Kenyon. Initially joining the library staff in 1982 as a cataloguer. she was appointed to the position of University Librarian in April 2001. It was through her initiative as Head of Cataloguing that Rhodes became the first library in South Africa to create hyperlinks on OPAC records to material also available in electronic format. She was an initiator of the Rhodes eResearch Repository (ReRR) which was among the first open access institutional repositories in South Africa. She also started the LibQUAL survey and while the old library scored well on service and information, it failed dismally on place. The pattern of student use had changed and there was no space for discussion areas to accommodate peer learning and group work. With student numbers having grown to 6200 and academic staff to 300, the library could only seat 10 percent of its users. It was Mrs Kenyon who contacted Geoff de Wet, Architect and Director of the Physical Planning Unit at UCT, and arranged for him to visit the Rhodes Library. It was a great tragedy that she did not see the seed that she had planted come to fruition. The ever changing demands for versatile workspaces that are responsive to evolving patterns of teaching, learning and research require a completely new approach to university libraries. We are thrilled to have seen the Rhodes University Library evolve from humble beginnings in a single room in the old Drostdy building into its grand position as a highly technological facility today. , Indawo Yolwazi (place of knowledge) in pursuit of excellence in teaching, research and community engagement.
