'Born in 1892 of pioneer stock, Archie was educated at St Peter's College and Oxford University.  After a few years of schoolmastering he became the first and longest-serving (1925-57) Master of St Mark's College, the first residential college attached to the University of Adelaide.
Colin Kerr has succeeded in conveying the virtues and humanity of Archie.  But Archie is more than a personal biography, it is a mirror of recent times.  As such it is a notable contribution to Australia's historiography.'
