18:56:16	 From  Dorothea SMP : If you have a question, feel free to add it to this chat
18:56:20	 From  Banda : That was my question too, on Banda's 'fascination' with Classics. Did he assume that Western Civilization was more superior to African forms of civilization?
18:58:16	 From  Banda : Plus, to some of you who taught at Kamuzu Academy in the early 1908s, like Jack Dawson has indicated here. How did you take the notion that Banda did not want African/Malawian teachers to teach at the Kamuzu Academy?
19:02:59	 From  David Humphreys : Hello.
19:06:02	 From  David Humphreys : I was oral surgeon and dentist in Lilongwe many years ago, and Gule enthusiast. Such a wonderfully expressive and uniquly humane cultural activity. And often affectionate and kind.

19:30:08	 From  Daisy Belfield : Hello! What a fascinating discussion and thank you so much for this.  Could I squeeze in a question?  I taught Classics at Kamuzu Academy, in fact I believe I filled the role which Alex vacated.  Big boots to fill!
