Mr. G.M. Potts, formerly
Second master of Prince Alfred College, is still with us after forty-two
years of service, but is no longer a full-time master. He is a son of
the late Rev. W.A. Potts, who was a most devout and able minister of
the Methodist Church in South Australia. Mr. Potts is one of a family of
seven, a scholarly family, five of them being university graduates. One
of his own sons was a Rhodes Scholar, Dr. Ren Potts, now a professor of
Applied Mathematics at the Adelaide University. Mr. G.M. Potts is an old scholar of P.A.C.- at one time there were three brothers here simultaneously-and was a first rate student. At the University he gained the Honours Degree of Master of Arts (Classics). His attainments are by no means confined to Latin and Greek. He is an extremely well-read man and has contributed much to the cultural life of the State by his activities outside the classroom. In his work at P.A.C. his
influence has been most valuable and far-reaching. He has endeared
himself to every boy he has taught; his colleagues to a man think the
world of him. His Christian character, his wide knowledge, his gentle
demeanour and his wonderful sense of humour have combined to command
respect. Prince Alfred College magazine, 1961 |
