Kearsney College is a private boarding school for boys in Botha's Hill, a small town between the provincial capital of Pietermaritzburg and Durban, in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. == History == Kearsney's badge was designed by the then headmaster, R H Matterson, and the chaplain, the Rev. W H Irving, in about 1923. The greyhound is taken from the arms of the Founder, Sir James Liege Hulett. The scallop shells and the dividing chevron are from the arms of the founder of Methodism, John Wesley. The pheon, or arrowhead, is taken from the badge of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where Matterson studied. The motto "Carpe Diem", traditionally at Kearsney translated "Seize the Day", comes from the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known as Horace, (Odes 1, xi, 8). Kearsney College is named after Kearsney, Kent and originates from Sir Leige Hulett giving his family home on Natal's North Coast near Stanger to the Christian Church. The school opened with 12 boarders and two day scholars in August 1921. During the mid-1930s, the Great Depression and threat of malaria on the North Coast caused there to be a search for a more suitable site for the school. On hearing of this Clement Stott of Botha’s Hill donated of land. At the same time J.J. Crookes offered to build a Boarding House. The move was completed a month before the beginning of World War II. The new Kearsney College opened with 196 boys. Some of the college's buildings and facilities have been donated to it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kearsney College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
