"It was just over a century ago that William Muirhead, one of four young citizens of Grahamstown strolling along Mountain Drive, turned to his companions and propounded the concept of a school for boys under the auspices of the Wesleyan Church. The animated discussion that ensued between Muirhead, Clifford Dold and William and Restall Stocks was the first of many that resulted in the foundation of Kingswood College in 1894. . The Kingswood portrayed in Still Upon a Frontier is not simply a collection of buildings on an increasingly attractive campus where progressively exciting developments keep taking place. It is full of people - real people! Here are the people who, from those early times before the first Foundation Day to the present, have made their mark on the School. People whose names in the past have been to generations of Kingswoodians no more than carvings in Commemoration Methodist Church . This is the story of a vital organism that has played an impressive role in the educational development of South Africa." Pamphlets relating to the school's centenary loosely inserted (Foundation Weekend Celebrity Cricket Match, with opposing elevens and umpires; Centenary Thanksgiving Service; Foundation Weekend events).
