107 A violin prodigy, Molteno (1859–1866) was born in St. Kilda and appears to have begun giving concerts in Melbourne in 1865. He went on to perform in Sydney, Geelong and Ballarat before heading to South Australia in August 1866. Soon afterwards, ‘having that delicate and sensitive constitution which so often accompanies extraordinary talents prematurely developed’, he was taken ill with what newspaper reports described as low fever. He died at Norwood in early September. Molteno, Frederick John (I3388)
 
108 Activities
My passion is campaigning on climate change which is the issue which will determine the quality of life of our children and grandchildren, and indeed the future of the planet as a habitable and wonderful place.

I am also researching and writing the story of the Molteno, Murray and related families whose members, starting from Milan in the middle of the 18th century, spread to England and Scotland, South Africa and Kenya, Hawaii in the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, and the United States. What happened to these families across the past 8 generations holds up a fascinating mirror to the extraordinary changes the world has gone through since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

What I love most, apart from friends, is the English countryside – walking in it, lunching in its pubs, just being there; it is what brings me peace of mind.

Other memorable activities and moments over past 50 years
The excitement of living in Zambia, and being part of the process, in the early years of its independence when optimism about creating a better world still reigned!
Two months in solitary confinement (apart from the interrogations) spent in Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison, which gave me a lifelong conviction about the inhumanity of all incarceration.
The friendships, energy and togetherness that came during the time when, as Chair of the Wandsworth Association of School Parents, we campaigned locally to save our state schools in Inner London.
The long slog over quarter of a century when Zed Books tried to give effective voice to the courageous and free-spirited social campaigners and engaged intellectuals who, against enormous odds throughout the ‘developing’ world, struggled to make their countries more democratic, more confident and independent, less poor, and with hope and strategies for a better future.

Philosophical comments
My years at Bishops were not the best time of my life. My hopelessness at all sports didn’t help build my confidence! But the last two years at College were wonderful intellectually. And I took away from the school some lifelong friends; the knowledge that one must never be intimidated; the wonderful diversionary power of humour; as well as some values that I hope have infused the way I have tried to live my life. At the risk of sounding pompous, we live in this world to enjoy it; to understand it; and to make it a better place for all of us.

130 Anson Phelps Stokes (13 April 1874 – 13 August 1958) was an American educator, historian, clergyman, author, philanthropist and civil rights activist.
Stokes was one of three men of the same name; his father was multimillionaire banker Anson Phelps Stokes, and his son was Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., an Episcopal bishop.

He was born in New Brighton on Staten Island, New York, to Anson and Helen Louisa Phelps Stokes, and attended Yale University, graduating in 1896 with a bachelor's degree. At Yale he was inducted into Skull and Bones. He then traveled, mostly in East Asia. In 1897, he entered the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to prepare for the priesthood, and received his bachelor of divinity degree in 1900, although it was not until 1925 that he formally became a priest.

In 1899, Stokes took the post of Secretary of Yale University, second in command to the university's president, and he also served as assistant rector of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in New Haven, Connecticut, from 1900 to 1918.[1] Stokes wawas a favorite to replace Arthur T. Hadley as president of Yale in 1921, and was said to have had the support of a majority of the Yale Corporation, but a vociferous minority insisted that an outsider was needed at the helm of the university, and Stokes was passed over for James Rowland Angell.

In December 1903, Stokes married Caroline Mitchell. They had three children: Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr. (1905–1986), Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes II, both born in New Haven, Connecticut, and Olivia Phelps Stokes. Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr. was ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1933.

From 1924 to 1939, Stokes was resident canon at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. During this time, he became involved in many social, cultural, and ecclesiastical causes, and guided the philanthropy of the Phelps Stokes Fund (established in 1911) to improve the lives of African and American blacks. In 1936, he published a short biography of Booker T. Washington, which was an expanded version of a sketch he had written for the Dictionary of American Biography

Stokes saw all of his work as "fellowship in the gospel" (Philemon 1:5).

He died after a lengthy illness in his Lenox, Massachusetts home.
