In memoriam Herman Gerrit Schulte Nordholt 10 October 1911 - 15 August 1993

Abstract

After attending secondary school in Zwolle, he studied Indology at the University of Utrecht from 1930 to 1934 to prepare himself for an appointment as government administrator in the Dutch East Indies. Because of the great depression, however, it was not possible for him to be sent abroad immediately upon obtaining his degree. [...]he continued his studies in philosophy, Islam, and the ethnology of Indonesia. 1 I would like to thank Dr. H. Schulte Nordholt for the information and help he has given for this obituary and the bibliography, and Professor J.W. Schoorl for his kind permission to use his 'Foreword' to the volume published in commemoration of H.G. Schulte Nordholt's retirement as Professor of Cultural Anthropology (R. Schefold,J.W. Schoorl and J. Tennekes (eds), Man, meaning and history, The Hague 1980). [...]in 1960, he was offered a lectureship in the anthropology of Africa in the newly founded Department of Cultural Anthropology of the Free University in Amsterdam by Professor L. Onvlee.
