    Stories of the Past Students

    Below is a report on Ted Hope by Mrs Dulcie McDonald taken from the 1969 Annual Report.

    Mr. Ted Hope (1955/56) went to the Far East under the O.M.F. in 1957 and worked mainly among the Lisu peoples in North Thailand. He returned to South Africa in 1966 to take a special course at Wits. University where he obtained an Honours B.A. in Linguistics. Ted has been granted a special Scholarship and he is now in the Department of Linguistics at the Australian National University in Canberra. Here he will spend one year in study and one year in Thailand doing further research. Ted’s special qualifications in Linguistics will be of tremendous value in translation work and in preparing study courses for missionaries in the Lisu language.
