Among those to whom my gratitude is due, I wish to mention particularly
my tutor, Professor E. W. Watson of Christ Church, Professor J. A. Smith
of Magdalen, Professor Percy Gardner, who read the archaeological part,
Professor Gilbert Murray, whose suggestions were helpful and inspiring,
and the examiners of this essay when it was put forward as a thesis
at Oxford. Professor Haverfield and Mr. R. L. Poole, through whose
influence it was accepted for publication. Since then the material has
been considerably revised and amplified. For help in the dreary work of
reading the proofs, I must record my thanks to my old and trusted guide,
Professor William Ritchie, of the University of Cape Town, and to my
wife. And there is one whose memory I must always cherish, in this as in
other spheres, with the deepest affection and gratitude—my former tutor,
the late Mr. H. J. Cunningham of Worcester. His encouragement and counsel
were invaluable, and his readiness to assist one of the pleasantest
memories of my work.

I wish to acknowledge the courtesy of the Rhodes Trustees in allowing me
to use part of my scholarship to defray the expenses of publication; and
I must not fail also to put on record the financial assistance given me
by the Government Research Grant Board of the Union of South Africa. Such
assistance is not inappropriate for a book that deals so largely with
State support of education, and it is the more pleasing in view of the
growing interest of the Government in research.

Finally, I must mention the uniform courtesy and attention that I have
received from the Clarendon Press authorities. To Mr. C. E. Freeman I owe
a particular debt of gratitude for many interesting suggestions.

                                                        THEODORE HAARHOFF.
