British Colonial Socio-Political Distinctions via Stace\u2019s Revelation of Life in Galle, 1910 et seq-by Michael Roberts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Walter Terence STACE was a British man born in Ireland in 1886 who entered the British colonial service after a university education and was assigned to Sri Lanka in 1910. He married a Burgher lady, MM Beven in 1928 \u2013 is second marriage this \u2013 and then resigned in 1932 and moved on to USA where he pursued a successful university teaching career in Philosophy. Following his retirement, he composed an autobiography in 1964 with the intriguing title<\/span><\/p>\n

\"elanka\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This work has been edited by\u00a0Bernd Pflug<\/strong>\u00a0with an excellent and readable \u201cCritique\u201d at the end of the autobiography and presented in Sri Lanka in a slim volume of 218 pages by\u00a0the Perera Hussein Publishing House.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Walter Stace\u2019s reflections are presented in a lucid and clinical manner that should be a guideline for all authors. Indeed, it is remarkably clinical.<\/span><\/p>\n

On reaching Ceylon in 1910, Stace and his wife were sent to Galle at the south-west corner of the island where there was a small port alongside its large and extensive Dutch-built \u201cFort of Galle\u201d. His salary of Rs 300\/ per month was such that the couple chose to reside at the principal hotel within the Fort: that is, to add my local knowledge, the \u201cNew Oriental Hotel\u201d run by the (Burgher) Ephraums family.[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"elanka\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"elanka\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Walter and Adelaide were not in agreement with the aloofness of British colonials in the race and class-conscious colonial society of the time. He notes in critical voice: \u201cThe British, being the ruling class, behaved as superior beings and kept themselves aloof from the indigenous communities\u201d (p. 47).<\/span><\/p>\n

His account of the peculiarities that arose in Galle in the early 1910s is as hilarious as politically meaningful. There were two British clubs in Galle. Both were racially exclusive \u2014 with only one Burgher gentleman permtted membership within these superior enclaves. Stace was also made aware of the differentiation between the (\u2018superior\u2019) Dutch Burghers and the \u2018inferior\u2019 Portuguese Burghers.[2]<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Galle in his time in 1910-and-therabouts was also unusual in having a British \u201cpolice constable\u201d from London posted to its echelons there \u2013 as a \u201csergeant\u201d. Sergeant maybe; but not socially high enough to secure membership in the two clubs.\u00a0In defiance of convention Stace made it a point to go for walks with this gentleman in the evening<\/strong>\u00a0(page 50). These walks, I add, would have been around the perimeter of the fort \u2013the \u201cramparts\u201d as they are called.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"elanka\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Among the residents at the NOH was the \u201cProvincial Surgeon\u201d \u2013 who happened to be a Burgher educated in England and married to an English lady. In step with the rigid socio-political \u2018rules\u2019 of imperial British society, this \u2018mixed\u2019 family were \u201coutcasts from the British community\u201d (Stace\u2019s phrase: p. 52). Thus, the \u201cProvincial Surgeon and his wife became our best friends in Galle\u201d (p. 52). This little circle was then augmented by a new arrival \u2013 a British cadet who happened to be a batchelor and one who resided in the NOH. \u201cOften in the evenings Adelaide and I and the new cadet would foregather in the quarters of the Provincial Surgeon, largely because he had a piano thee and his daughter played on it. Sometimes we all sang popular songs because his daughter played on it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahh! Thereupon the British cadet was quickly posted to another town in the island. It seems that \u2013 in Stace\u2019s accounting \u2013 the race conscious British authorities feared contamination of their superior \u2018alignments\u2019 from the potential outcome of \u2018crossbreeding\u2019 (my words in this instance).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>END NOTES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>[1]<\/strong>\u00a0This hotel is on Church Street about 200 yards from the main entrance to the Fort. Originally called the \u201cOriental Hotel\u201d, it received its name as the \u201cNew Oriental Hotel\u201d\u00a0 [thus \u201cNOH\u201d to those familiar with the town] in 1998 from the new owners \u2014 the Ephraums family, an upper-crust Burgher lineage of some renown. In recent decades a further change of ownership saw its name changed to \u201cAmangalla.\u201d See https\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amangalla. For some information on the Ephraums lineage in Dutch and British Ceylon, see ttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amangalla<\/span><\/p>\n

PS:<\/strong>\u00a0My initial footnote said that the hotel had changed hands in 2001; but Joe Simpson has indicated the purchase and adjustment in name was in 1998. JOE is a storehouse of information on Richmond College, Galle and its peoples. The distance from Western Canada to the island does not bother him.<\/span><\/p>\n

[2]<\/a>\u00a0One required intimate local knowledge to differentiate these distinctions, though the generality of Portuguese Burghers may have been of a darker shade of colour. The latter were sometimes referred to as \u201csapaththu<\/em>\u00a0lansi<\/em>\u201d (shoe Burghers) because of one of the specialist trades \u2013 that of shoemakers \u2013associated with them.
