Notes for FREDERICK RODNEY LORENSZ FERDINANDS:
Rodney Ferdinands- Trustee of the TCK FF.
Rodney enjoyed life to the full. Restless energy flowed into all his undertakings. There were no half
measures. A shrewd observer and judge of character he could detect the slightest hint of hypocrisy,
even, as he confessed, (with a mischievous smile), in himself. In Trinity he excelled in his studies,
winning the Napier Clavering prize for English. He learnt carpentry -under Arthur Deane-and became a
1st class craftsman. He became an accountant on leaving school and worked in the hydro electric
scheme at Norton Bridge and then the Shell company of Ceylon. He joined the Ceylon Navy as a
volunteer and rose to the rank of 1st Lieutenant. He married Persis Brohier, daughter of Dr Eric Brohier
of Colombo. They migrated to Sydney and moved subsequently to Melbourne, where he worked for the
Ford Motor Company and then Alcoa. On retiring he continued working as a consultant to the Housing
Commission of Victoria. He was a past president of the Internal Auditors' of Victoria. Bored during his
retirement- he enrolled in La- Trobe University and obtained a degree in Social Studies. Persis and
Rodney's passion were (are) their children- Stewart & Suzanne and grandchildren. Of several ideas in
his head, one kept recurring. How would his family understand who the Burghers were unless he told
them? So began the book " Pride & Prejudice- the story of the Burghers in Sri Lanka".
acclaimed as a classic, it was completely sold out. Many bouquets and some brickbats (the truth hurts-he
said) were handled with grace, humour & tact. He and his wife were tireless workers in the Ceylonese
welfare Organisation. They were also supporters of the "80 club" and he became its auditor. Rodney was
"true" Trinitian, a loyal supporter of the college and the TCK FF, in which, he served well as a trustee.
He maintained that Trinity taught him all he needed to know to live and get on in this world . A lateral
thinker he could see points that eluded many of us-at times at meetings of the management, it was hard
for us , but in the end it turned out well. Many fine tributes were paid at his funeral. He went as he
wished, his coffin was draped with the college flag and he was fare welled by his fellow Trinitians to the
strains of the chorus of the college song. (By Dr Percy De Zilwa)
In Accountancy, Rodney Ferdinands was successful in the first examination in Ceylon of the profession
of Chartered Accountancy. In Australia he was President of the Institute of Internal Auditors in Victoria.
Subsequently as an Author he researched the history of the Burgher community in Ceylon, and his book
"Proud and Prejudiced" is acclaimed as the history of the community
