Milner

Courtesy of Helen Rittelmeyer, a wonderful quote from Alfred Milner about his decision to quit politics.

Milner was the chief British civil administrator in South Africa through the (bitterly controversial at home) Boer War.

Milner Gibson was a sportsman and a typical man of the world, who enjoyed life and behaved liberally to those connected with him.

A very different reading of the situation is given in the letter to Sir Alfred Milner published a week later.

It was called (for the railway companies name towns in this country) 'Milner.'

During the ministry of Mr. Milner new school-rooms were erected, at a cost of 336.

A large number were not lecturing, though Milner was good enough to be 'accessible to students.'
