James Robert Robertson (1867 – 14 January 1928) was an educator in South Australia, head of Prince Alfred College preparatory school.
[1] He attended the Port Adelaide Public School in the days of headmaster Allen Martin, and like his fellow schoolmate and lifelong friend W. R. Bayly, won a scholarship to Prince Alfred College, which he joined as a student in 1881.
Despite the early age at which he left for Australia, he was regarded as a "typical Scotsman" by all, especially Andrew D. Young, Chief of the Caledonian Society.
In 1907 he was a foundation member and first senior warden of Prince Alfred Collegians Lodge, and was installed as Master the following year.
[1]James Robert Robertson married Martha Marie Helene Feuerheerdt ( –1952) of Crower station near Lucindale on 28 August 1909.
