In other words, both sets of ceremonial\u00a0 genuflection to the \u2018British order\u2019 from a former crown colony mark the \u2018amusing\u2019 contraditions within the island\u2019s history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">To end our reflection here, however, would be a disservice. For one: we must recognise the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s sharp wit when he inducted the inauguration and Jennings\u2019s endorsement of this with witha plaue. Quite brilliant these two acts together.\u00a0 Both the spacing of buildings at Peradeniya University then in the 1950s and the care taken to \u2019embrace\u2019 them with fauna and flora of magnificent \u2018texture\u2019 bespoke an artistic flair. The setting and its reshaped \u2018texture\u2019 was\/is partly the work of a great mind. That was Sir Ivor Jennings, \u2014 who had pressed for Peradeniya as the site from the 1940s and pursued the venture diligently. He had arrived in the island in 1942 as the head of University College (in Colombo) with \u201ca mandate to creat a university.\u201d As noted in Wikipedia, the \u00a0\u201cinstitution, on the model of\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"University of London\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/University_of_London\">University of London<\/a>, was dubbed the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"University of Ceylon\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/University_of_Ceylon\">University of Ceylon<\/a>\u00a0and was first established in\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"Colombo\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colombo\">Colombo<\/a>, the capital city, then partially transferred in 1952 to a purpose-built campus in\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"Peradeniya\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peradeniya\">Peradeniya.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">That Jennings was able to secure this impact was due in large part to his friendship with DS Senanayake and Sir Oliver Goonetilleka. While heading University of Ceylon he had a second\u00a0 official post as \u201cDeputy Civil Defense Commissioner\u201d from 1942-45.\u00a0 Thus n the years 1942-48 he was one of the hands that manoeuvred Ceylon\u2019s independence from the United Kingdom in circumstances where India was the prime focus of London\u2019s problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Given the political and military complexities of that decade, any historical appraisal would have to conclude that the political manouevres of the threesome beween 1942 and 1948 were awesome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Note, too, that Jennings was not from British aritocratic stock. A \u201cmiddle class\u2019 and educated gentleman yes, but not one with a plum in his mouth. In doffing my hat to him therefore I drive the point home by providing several references and several illustrations of the \u2018landscape\u2019 that confirm Prince Philip\u2019s smart characterisation of the place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\"
