Description: The small University of Rhodes (6142 students), in the rural city of Grahamstown, was established in 1904 as a result of a £50 000 grant from the Rhodes Trust in Oxford. It grew out of St Andrew’s College, which provided the first four professors and 41 students. The first paper from Rhodes in the South African Journal of Science (then called the Report of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science) was by Selmar Schonland, one of the university’s founding fathers. Entitled: ‘Biological and ethnological observations on a trip to the N.E. Kalahari’, it appeared in 1904. The following pages provide a glimpse into the growth and achievements of various departments in the faculties of Science and Pharmacy and associated institutes a century after the university was born.
