Lovedale-South Africa.The Story of a Century 1841-1941(Signed)

Lovedale Missionary Institution reaches its centenary in July, 1941. It was founded as a mission station in 1824 but began its career as a place of higher education on 21st July, 1841.

Much has been written about Lovedale,but notwithstanding this, few public institutions are less understood. In this fully documented volume an attempt is made to give an account of Lovedale\'s genesis, history and aims.

there are two sides to Lovedale\'s work. There is its internal growth from a small missionary seminary to a large Christian educational centre. And there is Lovedale as an interpreter and mouthpiece of the non-Europeahn peoples of South Africa in face of the country\'s changing Native policy. both aspects are dealt with in this book in one continuous narrative.
