Desmond Hobart Houghton Papers

  • Authors: Houghton, Desmond Hobart
  • Date: 2014
  • Language: English
  • Type: Text
  • Identifier: vital:13946 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013498 , MS 20 002
  • Description: Desmond Hobart Houghton (24 October 1906 – 1976) was born in Alice in the Eastern Cape, and educated at St. Andrew’s College, Grahamstown, Rhodes University College, Grahamstown, and Magdalen College, Oxford. Amongst his many achievements he is remembered for his Directorship of the Institute of Social and Economic Research, his active membership of the South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) and his membership of the University College of Fort Hare Council from 1954 – 1959. Professor Hobart Houghton taught Economics at Rhodes from 1933 to 1966 (but for the period 1939-1945), and thereafter, until 1973. During his forty years at Rhodes, Hobart Houghton made significant contributions to thinking about the economic problems of South Africa as a whole, but his particular concern, and the major focus of his research, was the problem of poverty and economic development in the Eastern Cape region, in which the University is situated. The country's economic problems, and those of the Eastern Cape in particular, are clearly no less pressing today than in the past.

  • Description: The Papers of the Rev. Thomas Gamble (1856 – 1931) at Cory Library Born in England in 1856, Thomas Gamble took a three year course at Harley House, a school for the training of missionaries, before coming to Cape Town in 1879 aged 23. He realised that he needed to learn Dutch to become a successful missionary and supported himself by working as a teacher whilst taking Dutch lessons. He also spent three months on a farm in order to perfect his knowledge of the language. (His papers bear testimony to his proficiency in the language). He was invited to become the minister in Heidelberg (Cape) and was ordained as minister there under the London Missionary Society. After spending thirteen years in Heidelberg, Rev. Gamble came to Uitenhage in 1897, where he ministered to the Rose Lane Congregational Church for the rest of his life. He undertook many travels throughout the world to attend Church gatherings. Rev. Gamble’s tours included trips to the Holy Land, Europe, the United States and Canada. In 1920 he went to Japan as a delegate to the World’s Convention of Sunday Schools in Tokyo. His last overseas trip in 1928 was to a Sunday School Convention in Los Angeles. The Congregational Union of South Africa elected him as its Chairman in 1913, and he visited many churches in the Union. (Giving Magic Lantern Slide lectures of his travels, he raised funds for the Congregational Union. The Collection at Cory Library includes some of the Lantern Slides used by Rev. Gamble) Rev. Gamble died aged 75 on Monday 22 June 1931. His name lives on as there is a suburb in Uitenhage named after him. The collection includes original manuscripts by Rev. Gamble, research for his sermons and various lectures and talks, as well as miscellaneous correspondence.
