JOSEPH WARD had been a BI Council member for a long time before he became principal in 1939. Ward loved teaching; the Council spoke of the “zeal, enthusiasm and life” that he brought to the College. Ward had a heart condition for some time. One day he went for his daily walk to Fish Hoek, but was too weak to walk back. He sat down on a bench, caught a chill. and later died of pneumonia.
