The document is undated, but the accompanying compliments slip from UCT includes the name of A V H Carter, Registrar, who served the university from 1939 - 1955. As it was awarded whilst Mears was Headmaster of Rondebosch Boys' High (1930 - 1951), the possible date range is limited to the period 1939 - 1951. page 2

Sin título1953 The Cornubian v.45, September 1953: cover
This volume contains a report on the Official Opening of the College and the laying of the Foundation Stone. The front cover features a photograph of the then Chairman of the Association presenting a trophy to Gilbert Tucker who accepted it on behalf of the College.
The identity of the presenter of the trophy remained unknown for many years. In November 2017 the archivist was contacted by Clive Sherman who was on a visit to South Africa. He had a copy of the photograph of his father presenting the trophy and came to find out "if St Stithians still existed". Needless to say, he was delighted to find out that it did. The College was delighted to finally be able to identify the person in the photograph.

1959c St Stithians College Prospectus: cover
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.)
