Date4th December 2001Lincoln University

As a Canterbury rugby representative, provincial captain and provincial selector-coach, Sir James Stewart notched up a few scores. Today (4 December) he added another tally, from the field of his first love - education.

A special luncheon at Lincoln University marked Sir James' retirement from the board of Lincoln University Holdings, the umbrella company for the University's trading companies. The retirement ends 50 years of direct involvement by Sir James with the affairs of Lincoln University.

He joined the staff in 1951 as an Assistant Lecturer in Farm Management, progressed through the ranks to Professor of Farm Management in 1965 and in 1973 was appointed Principal of Lincoln College, retiring from that position in 1983.
