People Educated At Christ's College, Christchurch
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Alice Julius
Alice Frances Julius (, 1846 – 30 September 1918) was a New Zealand artist and wife to the first Archbishop of New Zealand, Churchill Julius. Biography Alice Julius was born Alice Frances Rowlandson in 1846, in Madras, India to Michael John Rowlandson and Mary Catherine Awdrey. She married Churchill Julius on 18 June 1872 in Bournemouth, Hampshire, England. They had five daughters and two sons, Awdry who went into the Church in New Zealand and George, engineer and prolific inventor of the Totalisator.

She was buried in Linwood Cemetery, Christchurch, and in 1938, her husband was also interred there. Works ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
