Knopf Abstract A summary of the resource. Emma Goldman was born in Lithuania in 1869, and emigrated to America in 1885. She spent her adult life fighting for her chosen ideologies. Goldman (d. 1940) had no qualms using violence as a means to an end, and was imprisoned several times. Ironically, her biography was so large and expensive, that it was ‘kept …out of the hands of general readers and students who might otherwise have drawn sustenance and inspiration from its riches in American radical thought and action, labor history, feminism, and free-speech fights, its data on social hypocrisy, vigilante and official oppression, and the like’ (Editor’s note). On page 56 here, Goldman tells of her desire for ‘freedom’ and ‘self-expression’. http://s3.amazonaws.com/ourheritagemedia%2Foriginal%2F9719d54dff75b8b8f49bf7277b29d3d9.jpg ad9c78b2d074151ffc0c9b7e69ab515f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, was the first ‘Royal’ visitor to New Zealand, and despite the ructions of the New Zealand War, his visit produced an overwhelming mania for the monarchy. Upon arriving into Wellington on 11 April 1869, he faced a hearty welcome and loyal address from dignitaries, including representatives from Ngati-Toa, Ngati-Awa, Ngati-Raukawa, Whanganui, Ngati-Kahungunu, and Ngati-Porou. He also travelled to Auckland, Nelson, Dunedin, and Christchurch, where it was all bunting and more celebrations. This ‘Welcome Arch’ at Lyttelton was just part of the occasion. http://s3.amazonaws.com/ourheritagemedia%2Foriginal%2F0535c501ccea61d55cedfe9972998373.jpg 83552dacbdda8760559a3d3d2793a2b0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The New Zealand Cross was introduced by Governor Sir George Bowen in 1869 during the Land Wars in New Zealand. Only 23 crosses were awarded, with six gazetted in 1869, one in 1870, and the remainder (16) between 1875 and 1910. They are rare, and because of this, a small number (13) of specimens (facsimiles) have been struck, mainly for institutions or medal collectors. One notable medal collector was Colonel Joseph Cowie Nichols, of Dunedin, who had two ‘facsimiles’ struck in 1914. This is one of those ‘facsimiles’, which was once in the collection of D. Hastings Irwin, an English medal collector. It was presented back to the Otago Museum by Colonel Nichols. http://s3.amazonaws.com/ourheritagemedia%2Foriginal%2F855785a8f4a9c9f4fd4f8807568e59aa.jpg cd2d12a2923c7dab7f47440fbd62cb89 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

William Hodgkins (c.1833–1898) arrived in Dunedin in 1862, the same year as his good friend Dr Hocken. Although called to the bar in 1868, it was his love for art that has had lasting influence. As an organiser of the Fine Arts Exhibition in Dunedin in 1869, he came to realise the need for a public art gallery. In 1875, he formed the Otago Art Society, and started collecting paintings. On 14 October 1884, the Council passed a resolution that established the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, the first of its kind in New Zealand. Hodgkins also painted, and his daughter was the well-known artist, Frances Hodgkins. http://s3.amazonaws.com/ourheritagemedia%2Foriginal%2Ffa92ed33906a2a488f807833166c9f8a.jpg 49c120be211943d4c3cf8246a2c66268 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sir Robert Stout (1844–1930) was 13th Premier of New Zealand, and a Chief Justice. He was a keen supporter of women’s suffrage, and a strong advocate for education. He served on the Senate of the University of New Zealand, and the Council of the University of Otago from 1891 to 1898. As a fledging lawyer, he was – as rumoured - the first student to enrol on the books at the University of Otago when it opened. The claim cannot be verified, but some wit has remarked that it was Stout himself who instigated this ‘fact’.

In 1899, Mellor won the 1851 Exhibition Science Scholarship, and he left Dunedin, with his wife, Emma, for Owen’s College, Manchester, to study for his PhD. Mellor never returned to New Zealand. He published his first book, Higher Mathematics for Students of Chemistry, in 1902. Mellor continued to publish throughout his career – most notably, his sixteen-volume set, The Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry (1912-37), the epitome of chemistry textbooks. This letter from bookshop owner, Henry Driver, to Mellor’s publishers, Longmans, Green and Co., talks about one of the volumes in the set. Driver also mentions Mellor’s habit of wandering the bookshop as a student ‘in search of books on Chemistry’.

On 3 June 1869, the University of Otago Ordinance 1869 became law. This meant that the newly established University became a corporate body with power to grant degrees. This was a significant first for New Zealand. Two years later, with a building secured, and three professors appointed, classes began. The first class was on 10 July 1871, with 81 students enrolled. The University of Otago’s rich history continues today. Its establishment and legacy form part of this exhibition 1869: The Year That Was. Of course, other events occurred in 1869, forming a then unwritten but much wider history. While the University Council were debating the administrational matters necessary to make the newly formed educational institution work, events were occurring on a local and international level. Each had their own particular impact. Some of the events of 1869 that feature in the exhibition include the formation of the Otago Institute; the first Fine Arts Exhibition in New Zealand; the first ‘Royal’ visit to New Zealand; the introduction of the New Zealand Cross; the births of Rasputin, Emma Goldman, and Gandhi; the opening of the Suez Canal; and the formation of Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev’s periodic table. Tolstoy’s War and Peace was published in 1869, as was Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Please enjoy 1869, The Year That Was.

Six years after the establishment of the University of Otago in 1869, the Otago Medical School was opened. The first person of Chinese descent to graduate from the School was Kathleen Anuei Pih-Chang (1903-91). As a child, she was nursed back to health by Margaret Reid, Dunedin missionary to China. The pair developed a close relationship, and when Reid returned to Dunedin in 1908, she brought Pih-Chang with her, eventually adopting her. After a secondary education at Otago Girls High School, she attended Otago Medical School, the ‘only Chinese’ to do so at a time when ‘anti-Chinese prejudice was still strong’. After graduation, Pih-Chang returned to China as a missionary doctor, administering to all who needed her services. In 1969, Pih-Chang and her husband retired to Tauranga.
