- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 18 , Pavoclinus myae n.sp. is described from seven specimens collected off the eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The combination of a separate and high anterior section of the dorsal fin, a narrow caudal peduncle, vomerine teeth and fin counts separates P. myae from the eight other members of the genus. The validity of Pavoclinus graminis and P. laurentii was examined and confirmed. New distinguishing features were found, as characters previously used to differentiate these two species were unreliable.

Some reflections on academic freedom

- Description: The purpose of this meeting is as I see it, twofold: a reaffirmation of a commitment and a protest. We once again declare our commitment to the principle of academic freedom and we protest that a very important aspect of this freedom has been infringed upon in the University’s relationships with the Government. The nature of this infringement is enshrined in the Extension of University Education Act of 1959. Since then other statutory and legal provisions were introduced which affected traditional civil liberties such as the freedom of speech, the rule of law, freedom of association etc. which apply not only to Universities but to our society in general. How these provisions affect the academic freedom of Universities is argued very adequately in the booklet “The Open Universities and Academic Freedom in S. A. 1957- 1974” produced by the Academic Freedom Committees of the Universities of Cape Town and Witwatersrand. I am not going to use this occasion to repeat those arguments. All of them make the same central point namely: that it is not the function of the Government to prescribe who should be admitted as students to a University, who shall be appointed to teach and what shall be taught. At the outset then I want to make it clear that I subscribe to this principle and as long as the Government persists with infringing it I believe it is worthy of our objection and protest. For almost twenty years now this protest has been made annually at some of our so-called “open” Universities.
