It merges the individual in the eleven he doesn't play that he may win, but that his side may.’ Tom agrees: ‘That's very true, and that's why football and cricket, now one comes to think of it, are such much better games than fives or hare-and-hounds, or any others where the object is to come in first or to win for oneself, and not that one's side may win.’ It’s an institution.’ Arthur concurs fervently, proclaiming, perhaps only partly tongue-in-cheek, that it is also is ‘the birthright of British boys old and young, as habeas corpus and trial by jury are of British men.’ The master, while circumventing these extravagant claims, does not demur: ‘The discipline and reliance on one another which it teaches is so valuable, I think, it is such an unselfish game. Adverting to the ‘noble game’ of cricket, Tom asserts that ‘it’s more than a game. In that passage, Tom and his friend Arthur expatiate, for the benefit of one of their masters, upon the virtues of school sport. One can visualise Nash and Hill, in conversation over a cup of Darjeeling or Earl Grey (unadulterated by such extraneous luxuries as milk and sugar), reminiscing about a passage in the famous schoolboy novel by Thomas Hughes, Tom Brown’s Schooldays (1857). Here it was possible to begin to develop sports facilities.įather James Okey Nash and Father Eustace Hill believed in the value of sport (especially team sports) in the holistic development of boys. Sport at St John’s expanded in scope and improved in standard after the Community of the Resurrection took charge of the school in 1906, especially after the school relocated to Houghton in 1907. In the College’s early days, when the school was still located in downtown Johannesburg, the focus was principally on cricket, football, gymnastics and cross-country. This philosophy is articulated in the School Prayer and the School Hymn. The school’s educational philosophy has always entailed the development of students not only in mind, spirit and character but also in body.
