Queen's College, North Adelaide

Queen's College was a privately owned and run school for boys on Barton Terrace, North Adelaide.

Heinemann, a member of the famous publishing family,[5] left at the end of 1895 to return to Britain, and Lindon, who by this time was bed-ridden, took on as partner R. G.

The curriculum in the 1930s included history (ancient, English, Australian, and economic), geography, classics, modern languages, mathematics, science, book-keeping, and shorthand.

[2] The school roll dropped in the mid-1930s, then returned to 100 in 1938 and continued to grow, reaching 133 in 1941 and 160 in 1943, and there were now three Houses: Hood, Lindon and Field.

Additional property was purchased in 1942 to cope with the increase[12] then in July 1949 Haslam announced that the school was no longer viable and would close at the end of the year.

[14] Arguably the best-known names among past students were Sir Ross and Keith Smith, but the school had seven or eight Rhodes Scholars including Reginald J. Rudall and Dr. W. Ray, and a surprising number of prominent medical men including Dr Thorold Grant, whose dermatitis case made headline news in 1933,[15] and the leading London ENT specialist F. F. Muecke who married Ada Crossley.

[16] Other notable students included Lawrence Bragg,[b] Cecil Hackett, Elton Mayo and his brother Herbert Mayo, Victor Marra Newland, Grenfell Price, Walter Parsons, Reginald Rudall and Arthur Rymill[17] In the Great War of 1914–1918, around 200 "old boys" enlisted, 34 losing their lives.
