James Munro Bertram
James Munro Bertram (11 August 1910 – 24 August 1993) was a New Zealand Rhodes scholar, a journalist, writer, relief worker, prisoner of war and a university professor.〔''Dance of the Peacocks: New Zealanders in exile in the time of Hitler and Mao Tse-Tung'' (2003, Vintage) James McNeish]〕
==Early Life and influences==
Bertram was born in Auckland on 11 August 1910, son of Ivo Edgar Bertram, a Presbyterian minister, and his wife, Evelyn Susan Bruce. His great-grandparents on both sides had arrived in Wellington in the 1840s. He spent ten years of his childhood in Melbourne and Sydney, and attended church schools. He returned to New Zealand for secondary schooling at Waitaki Boys' High School, where he befriended Charles Brasch and Ian Milner (the son of headmaster Frank Milner). Between 1929 and 1931 he studied English literature at Auckland University College, where he met the third of his closest friends, J. A. W. Bennett. He edited a literary magazine, ''Phoenix'', and with Bennett co-edited a Student Christian Movement magazine, ''Open Windows''. In 1932 Bertram received a Diploma in Journalism and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship.
Bertram was briefly a student volunteer special constable during the Queen Street riots of April 1932, to find that his sympathies for those from less-privileged backgrounds had grown.〔"Of all our Varsity SPs (Special Constables), it was John Mulgan who first realized how incongruous our behaviour had been: signing up in a sort of conditioned reflex to keep the peace and prevent damage to property, when in fact we were wanted to crack the heads of angry and desperate men, many of whom had not had a square meal for months". Bertram, James, Capes of China Slide Away: A Memoir of Peace and War 1910-1980, Auckland: Auckland University Press, 1993, p.48〕
