	Armoria academica - University of Fort Hare
		The university takes its name from a fort built in 1847 during the Seventh Frontier War and named after Colonel John Hare, Lieutenant-Governor of the Eastern Province (of the Cape Colony) in 1838, who during July and August of 1846 was in command of the army in the frontier region.
		With the creation of Ciskei in 1980, Fort Hare became the university of a microstate recognised only by its fellow-Bantustans and by South Africa, a marked decline from its previous status as the greatest centre of fl higher education in Southern and Eastern Africa.
		At least one white woman, Monica Wilson, was a student at Fort Hare, later lecturing at Fort Hare and becoming a professor at the University of Cape Town.

		Fort Hare suffered during the dark years of apartheid and was classified as a "fls only" institution which was starved of resources and kept under the watchful eye of the authorities.
		Fort Hare has found itself between a rock and a hard place: it is struggling to attract students, and without them, it is losing vital fees which might ensure its survival.
		Fort Hare began its 1999 term in debt to the tune of more than $3m, the vast majority of this made up of unpaid fees from graduates who have since left with little intention to settle their bills.

	Fort Hare and the South African 'struggle'
		Thousands of former Fort Hare students are expected to return to their alma mater next weekend (Friday 19-21 July) when the university hosts a three-day home-coming ceremony to celebrate the role the institution has played in the transformation of the continent.
		Fort Hare thus became the first institution of higher learning for fls in southern Africa and nurtured many who later played a crucial role in the politics of their respective countries.
		Coupled with this is the fact that Fort Hare, or at least an important section of its students, identified with the history of resistance against apartheid and indirectly played an important role in the struggle for liberation in Africa.
