Everything about The South African College totally explained
The
South African College was an educational institution in
Cape Town,
South Africa, which developed into the
University of Cape Town (UCT) and the
South African College Schools (SACS).
History
The process that would lead to the formation of the South African College was started in 1791, when the
Dutch Commissioner-General,
Jacob Abraham Uitenhage de Mist, asked for money to be set aside to improve the schools in the Cape. When the
British took over the control of the
Cape Colony, under the first governor,
Lord Charles Henry Somerset, permission was given for the money set aside by de Mist to be used to establish the South African College.
The founding committee met in the
Groote Kerk to discuss funding and accommodation for the school and on
October 1,
1829, the inauguration of the South African College was held and the classes began. The original location of the school was in the Weeshuis on
Long Street and moved to what is now known as the Egyptian Building (on the Hiddingh Campus of
UCT) in the
Gardens district of Cape Town in 1841.
It was decided in 1874 that the younger students should be separated from their older counterparts. The South African College was separated into the College, which became the
University of Cape Town; and the
College Schools.
