GLANVILLE, Mrs. GWYNNETH CLIFTON, wife of Thomas Burt Glanville, son of Ernest Glanville, South African writer and journalist and grandson of Thomas Glanville, M.P., and Cape Commissioner in England who, before coming to S. Africa founded the Educational Institute at Bangalore in the Mysore Provinces, India, circa 1846. Did much to establish printing in S. Africa; started the "Courier" in Maritzburg, Natal, and was Editor and part-proprietor of "The Journal," Grahamstown, C.P. He and his son, Mr. Ernest Glanville conveyed a printing plant from Grahamstown to Griqualand West by ox-wagon, and produced the newspaper "The Diamond News." He also later established the "Empire" newspaper in London. The Glanvilles are a family of ancient origin in England, where they have made their home and contribution to the affairs of the Realm since the Conquest. An outstanding figure in their family history was that of Lord Ranulph de Glanville, Earl of Suffolk, etc., etc., Chief Justice and Treasurer of England, who was the author of the "Antiente Laws and Customs of England," still extant. He has been called "the Father of English Jurisprudence." In 1174, as Seneschal of England, he captured William the Lion of Scotland, who invaded England during Henry's II, absence in France; took part in the Third Crusade helping to finance himself and others from his own fortunes, dying with Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, who accompanied him, before the walls of Acre in 1191. Sir John Glanville, son of Judge (Sir John) Glanville of Elizabeth's day, was the Speaker in the House of Commons at the time of Charles I's impeachment. His royalist loyalties cost him more of his possessions. In the Journal of the House of Lords (July, 1644) he is cited as calling upon his privileges from the Tower, "being a member of their Lordship's House and having already sustained as much damage in his possessions and estate as any man of his degree and calling in England by reason of the unnatural Civil Wars and troubles of the time." Is the daughter of Clifton F. B. Tainton, a former editor of the Mining Journal in Johannesburg, subsequently for a time Manager of the Argus Company's London Branch, returned to Johannesburg as Managing Director for L. Ehrlich & Co., subsequently started two daily newspapers. "The Transvaal Chronicle" (Pretoria) and "Evening Chronicle" (Johannesburg), and his wife, born Halse, one of the few remaining of the first generation of 1820 Settlers, who was born at Aliwal North, C.P., both parents being pioneers of Johannesburg. Mrs. Glanville's connection with this country has been of unusual length, one of her forebears being an officer in the 21st Dragoons with the English Army of Occupation at the Cape in 1806, while others followed in 1820 with Shepstone, with whom they were closely connected by marriage. In England, too, on both sides, her family has been linked with English history as far back as the Conquest and Domesday Book. An interesting family connection of the Elizabethan times being that with the Drake family, with whom they intermarried. A ring belonging to Sir Francis Drake is still in possession of a member of the family. Born at Riversdale, C.P., was educated at Blackheath and London, England. Has one daughter, Gwynneth Valerie Burt, married to A. E. (Peter) Graham, of White River, E. Transvaal, and one son, Clifton Ernest Burt. Is the founder, organiser and editor of "The Tree of Mercy Anti-Cruelty League and Silver Leaf Association," and its magazine (1923) with which she later incorporated the African's Animal Defence League and Owner-Driver's Association, for non-Europeans. Foundation member and Vice-President for many years of the Johannesburg Women's Civic Society; foundation member, Director and first President - for three years - of the Rand Women's Club; foundation member and Vice-President of the Johannesburg Branch of the League of Women Voters and member of Headquarter's Executive, Pretoria. Has always been a keen and active supporter of women's rights; member for six years of the Executive of the S.P.C.A., Johannesburg; foundation and Executive member of the Management Board of the Bantu Refuge and Shelter; Executive member of the Joint Women's Committee of European and African Women; member of the National Council of Women, Johannesburg Branch, and an Executive member of Affiliated Societies' Board and Cinema and Broadcast Committee N.C.W; Executive member of the Joint Council non-European Child Welfare; Executive member of the Goodwill Club; member of the Safety First Council; first Vice-President of the Victoria League (revived Johannesburg 1936); Examiner in Guide Badges "Literary" and "Kindness to Animals." Besides these organisations takes a keen interest and active part in assisting other charitable institutions, particularly where affecting destitute and necessitous children. Is a strong advocate for the humane lethalising of animals, and has done much to bring about more humane methods of slaughter in our abattoirs. Her recreations and hobbies are writing (literary) and has contributed many pamphlets and articles to local and overseas magazines and newspapers, music, gardening, motoring, dancing and all social welfare work. Is a member of the Rand Women's Club and affiliated clubs and the Goodwill Club. Her home is 107 Jan Smuts Avenue, Saxonwold, Johannesburg.

     He died on 20 December 2014 (when age calculated as 68); with obituary:
Ranulph Glanville
It is with profound sadness that the American Society for Cybernetics announces the untimely passing of our president, Ranulph Glanville six months prior to his 70th birthday on June 13, 2015.
Ranulph Glanville was Professor Emeritus of Architecture and Cybernetics at University College London, also Research Senior Tutor and Professor in Innovation Design Engineering at Royal College of Art in London. In addition, he was Professor of Architecture at the University of Newcastle in Australia and Senior Professor of Research Design at KU Leuven—LUCA in Belgium. He published in excess of 350 academic publications. He was an architect, composer and artist as well as a cybernetician. He rebuilt the ASC from a struggling organization with fewer than 40 members to a thriving intellectual conversation involving upwards of 300.
Ranulph Glanville gained a Diploma in Architecture from the Architectural Association School, London (working in the area of experimental electro-acoustic music). This was followed by a PhD in Cybernetics with a thesis entitled "A Cybernetic Development of Epistemology and Observation, Applied to objects in Space and time (as Seen in Architecture)” which tackled the question of what structure might sustain the belief that we all see differently, yet believe we see the same thing. He called this his theory of objects. His supervisor was Gordon Pask and his examiner was Heinz von Foerster. His second PhD was in human learning and dealt with how we understand architectural space. In 2006, he was awarded a DSc in Cybernetics and Design by Brunel University.
Professor Glanville for many years worked as a freelance, itinerant professor, mainly commuting between the UK, Belgium, Hong Kong and Australia. In the UK he most recently was the research professor in Innovation Design Engineering at the Royal College of Art, Imperial College of Science and Technology. In Australia, he had a major part in the Invitational Masters through Practice and the Doctorate through Practice at RMIT University. He was emeritus professor of architecture and cybernetics at the Bartlett, University College London.He has written on Design Research for over quarter of a century, early on introducing concepts such as research as design and the importance of finding appropriate theory for design within design, rather than unquestioningly importing theories from other subjects.
To this end it is only right that we quote from Ranulph himself:
If you slow things down then you see nuances that you wouldn’t normally see. That is revealing — slowness has a particular quality of its own. It is difficult to slow things down and to simultaneously keep alert. Being caught in between, being a bit lost, is good for a human being. Things have their own time, and we should learn to enjoy this, rather than imposing our own, usually rushed time. A little slowness, living in the now, and a reduction of the significance of the nation state might really help us.
A lot of my cybernetics is philosophical in nature, a lot of it goes against conventional cybernetics, which is in general focused on purposeful systems — systems with goals. I’m just as interested in systems that don’t have goals. So I am better at keeping my eyes open for opportunities than in taking them. If I leave myself open to see possibilities and if I leave space for people to offer “gifts” to me, then I often get some extraordinary opportunities which I could never have hoped for. That’s the opposite of the cybernetic goal-oriented system. In cybernetics, I’m interested in the transcendental questions or frameworks within which cybernetics happens, which we tend to assume in order to be able to act. I’m interested in what those assumptions are: what they imply. In that sense I’m someone who looks at the foundations and questions them — someone interested in the relationship between “freedom” and the “machine”. The most remarkable characteristic of human beings is that we create patterns. Without the ability to create patterns we wouldn’t be able to think. That’s what I do: generally at a rather abstract level.
I’m interested in a society that minimises the impact of society and maximises the space for the individual. I will argue against control. Not all control, but against our assumption of the universal possibility and desirability of control. We are aware that our attempts to control are often inadequate. We usually excuse this as due to exceptional circumstances, or an inadequate description (one without enough variety) But I would like to suggest an alternative to always making excuses. We can ask ourselves what happens if, when there’s a serious variety imbalance, we give up trying to control? If we don’t try to force the system we had thought to control into having as little variety as we have? Then we are left with a vastness of variety (and hence possibilities) that goes way beyond our limits. We can be flooded, not by water inundating us, but by possibilities we had never dreamt of.
He leaves his wife the Dutch physiotherapist, Aartje Hulstein, and his son Severi. We miss him already.

     Dorothy Ward was born on 26 April 1890 at Birmingham, WAR, ENG; daughter of Edwin War and Eliza nee Millichamp.
     She married Shaun Glenville, son of Brabazon Henry Browne and Mary Lynch, circa May 1911 at St George Hanover Square registered, MDX, ENG, Shaun marrying as Shaun G Browne.
     She died on 30 March 1987 (when age calculated as 96); Obituary Daily Telegraph 1 Apr 1987:
Dorothy Ward who has died aged 96 was one of the greatest Principal Boys in the history of that peculiar British institution, The Pantomime.

Even after her retirement in 1957, Miss Ward’s name remained synonymous with “Panto”: its doublets and hose, sheer silk stockings, chorus numbers and the inevitable duets between “Boy” and “Girl”.

But she was equally at home in variety, musical comedy, revue and the occasional operetta. With her striking red-orange coloured hair, expansive smile and exquisitely shaped legs, Miss Ward would make superb “star” entrances. Audiences rejoiced at her instructions to stand up and sing.

Legion of Admirers

Among her legion of admirers were such celebrities as Lloyd George, The Duke of Westminster and Winston Churchill. The Crazy Gang paid tribute to “The lovely Dorothy Ward” in their celebrated number “Principal Boys”.

During the 1939-45 war, she toured for E.N.S.A and was known to the adoring soldiery as “Mademoiselle From The Maginot Line” (the title of one of her best known numbers).

Born and brought up in Birmingham, Dorothy Ward made her first appearance at the age of 15 as Zenobia in “Bluebeard”” at the Alexandra Theatre Birmingham. The following year she made her debut in the West End as Betty in “The Dairymaids” at the Apollo, and soon there was no stopping her.

Perhaps her most spectacular triumph was as Jack in “Jack and The Beanstalk” at the London Hippodrome in 1922. She took over from Clarice Mayne at short notice in a role that contained all the best ingredients of pantomime: handsome hero, adventure, melodrama, heroine in distress and comic pathos.

The comic pathos was particularly to the fore as she was playing opposite the legendary George Robey as Dame Trott. In his autobiography, Robey recalled that Dorothy Ward “not only looked the part finely, but showed an infectious jollity and, where necessary, quite a pretty gift of emotional acting”.

Out of pantomime Miss Ward’s best known musical performance was when she played opposite Carl Brisson in “The Apache” at the London Palladium in 1925. (sic 1927)

In her heyday as a “headliner” between the wars Dorothy Ward was constantly touring in variety both in Britain and abroad. She would crown the end of each performance by bringing on a troupe of diminutive, prettily dressed young children, known as “Dorothy Ward’s Tiny Tots”. The “Tiny Tots” would aid and abet the star as the chorus in song and dance numbers, enjoying enormous success.

Dorothy Ward made recordings of such popular numbers as “Take me back to dear old blighty”, “The Sheik of Araby”, “A Shanty in Old Shanty Town”, “Let The Rest Of The World Go By” and several others with her husband, Shaun Glenville.

She and Glenville would often act in pantomime together as “boy” and “Dame” respectively. Their son, Peter Glenville became a distinguished stage and film director.

When Miss Ward made her last stage appearance, shortly before her 70th birthday, it was only fitting that the farewell should have been at a provincial theatre (the Old Pavilion, Liverpool) in the role of a pantomime Principal Boy.
