Boys' College1959c St Stithians College Prospectus
The date of this Prospectus is estimated from the contents: it refers back to the opening of the College in 1953 and the fees are still quoted in sterling. (South Africa changed its monetary system from sterling to Rands in 1960 and later issues reflect this.)
1961c. St Stithians College: A Methodist School for Boys [prospectus]
The date of the publication is estimated from the fact that the fees are quoted in Rands. South Africa converted from sterling to Rands in February, 1961. Although the word, prospectus, does not appear in the title, the contents duplicate those of earlier prospectuses.
