Not only was McGlashan a political animal and religious leader, but he was also a fervent educationalist. He believed in education as a path to equality, and he served on the Otago Education Board from 1856. John McGlashan College in Pilkington Street, Dunedin, is one of the legacies of McGlashan’s education philosophies – his daughter gifted the family home, and the land it sat on, for use as the school grounds in 1918. According to their website, John McGlashan College tries to uphold their namesake’s beliefs by maintaining the ‘tradition of academic excellence’. Perhaps they still study such great works as this Shakespeare, which was once in the College’s library.
