The Czech educator Jan Amos Comenius was born on this day in 1592.
These images show a selection of musical instruments, with their names and properties in English and #Latin, in a 1659 translation of Comenius' illustrated book Orbis Pictus (the world in pictures), one of the first illustrated textbooks for children.

There were four graduates from Auckland College and Grammar School, 3 from St Johns College, and 1 each from Wellington College, Nelson College, and Bishopdale College. The Auckland schools disaffiliated in 1883 with the foundation of Auckland University College.

Conveniently there was a Royal Commission to enquire into the "operations of the University of New Zealand and its relation to the secondary schools of the colony" in 1878, and its interim and final reports provide lots of detail of the workings of the schools in this period.

Interim report: https://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1879-I.2.2.2.1&e=-------10--1------0--

Final report: https://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1880-I.2.2.3.1&e=-------10--1---bySH--Education-0--

The interim report is especially fascinating as it contains transcripts of the interviews undertaken by the Commissioners.

A quick search showed that NZ's first female graduate, Kate Edger, graduated from Auckland in 1877, so I was at least partly right, but my original reasoning turned out to be a case of adding 2+2 to get 5.

I thought that Auckland College and Grammar School (founded 1869) had split into Auckland Grammar School and Auckland University College (now the University of Auckland), due to the similarity of name and their both being at one time on Symonds St

It turns out that from 1871 secondary schools (if they were capable of teaching at an undergraduate level) could be affiliated to the University of New Zealand. Undergraduates who had kept the required terms at an affiliated school could sit the exams of the University of NZ

So this slide from Scott Pilkington's talk to the Burgon Society sent me on a deep dive into the provision of tertiary education in colonial Auckland. I was sure that there had been university education in Auckland earlier than 1883.

Thread.

Having a rather meta seminar experience this afternoon, watching a seminar on student note taking in 17th century mathematics lectures at St Andrews. Watched online with an audience in a mathematics lecture theatre at St Andrews where I had maths lectures in 1990 and 1991. I think one or two of my old lecturers are there.
