RECORD REWINDThe story behind the naming of EllaBoyd Hall—opened in 1989—eludes moststaff and students at Avondale College ofHigher Education. The women’s residenceis simply a home for senior femalestudents.Even senior honorary research fellowDr Milton Hook, in his book Avondale: Experimenton the Dora, says it is difficult toestablish a reason for the name.Ella Boyd is not the first female studentnor the only female among the first graduatesin 1902, writes Dr Hook. The reasonThese items belonged to Ella Boyd as astudent.for the naming of Ella Boyd Hall “appears to be one based on sentiment”.Ella Boyd (1883-1951) was the daughter of Charles and Mary (Maud Sisley)Boyd, the first Seventh-day Adventist missionaries to serve in Africa. Shereceived her education in Cape Town, South Africa, in Battle Creek, Michigan,USA, and in Cooranbong at the then Australasian Missionary College after sailingwith her mother and grandmother to Australia at 17 years of age.Ella’s life at Avondale in 1902 would now appear so foreign and quaint toresidents of Ella Boyd Hall in 2012.For example, the 40 vehicles lining the Ella Boyd Hall car park would havebeen unimaginable in 1902—students travelling to college were given the followingadvice: “Passages by boat should be booked to Sydney. . . . Railwaytickets should be purchased to Morisset railway station where students will bemet by a conveyance from the school, provided notice by letter or telegramhas been previously sent giving notice by what train they will arrive” (Fifth AnnualAnnouncement of the Avondale School for Christian Workers).And the “home regulations” of 1902 note separate strolling grounds forgentlemen and ladies, with permission to “pass beyond the limits” only givenon request. Running up and down stairs or boisterous deportment in the halls:not permitted. The regulations even pertain to parents, who were not to sendboxes of food—with the exception of fruit—to their children. The aim: to ensurestudents maintained a healthy diet.While published information about Ella is limited, if the saying, “Like mother,like daughter,” is true, Maud’s personality helps us understand a little of Ella’s.Maud, the first woman to serve the Adventist Church as a missionary, wasa former matron, preceptress and teacher at Avondale who also worked asa Bible instructor in England, Australia and the United States until her retirement.Dorothy Minchin-Comm notes her endurance, enthusiasm and “couragein rising above loss and hardship” (Adventist Review, March 3, 1994, p12-13),including the death of a daughter and of a husband.Ella’s testamur acknowledges her good character. The certificate reads, “EllaSisley Boyd, having completed in a credible manner the teacher’s course ofstudy as prescribed by this Institution, and having given satisfactory evidence ofa good moral character, is now granted this diploma.”After graduating, Ella taught in Tonga, where she helped establish aschool, then in Launceston, Tasmania, and in Brisbane. In 1910, Ella marriedNew Zealander Leonard Paap, and together they returned to the missionfield.And that is appropriate because while the Avondale of Ella Boyd’s day haschanged, its mission has not. Avondale continues to prepare students forlives of service by giving them “a greater vision of world needs”.Sonja Larsen is a 2011 Bachelor of Arts graduate from Avondale College of Higher Education.
