Mr.Mark,Humble Genius


கல்லூரி நாட்களில் ஓவிய ஆசிரியர் மார்க் அவர்களை தெரிந்தவர்கட்கு அறிமுகம் தேவை இல்லை,ஓவிய சிற்ப கூடமாக எங்கள் கல்லூரியின் ஆர்ட் ரூம் ,அதன் முக்கியத்துவம் பல வருடங்கள் பின்னர் தெரிய வந்தபோது அவரின் ரசனை மட்டுமே இன்று எம்முடன் உள்ளது ,அவர் எம்முடன் இல்லை




Mr. Mark came to Hartley during its glorious days when Hartley was excellingin all three academic fields, Maths, Biology and social sciences under the devoted services of some hand chosen teachers most of whom were old boys of Hartley. Mr. Mark brought a new dimension to Art and captured the hearts of many students and had many converts in his field. His modern art was acclaimed by artist not only in the North of Sri Lanka but also in the whole>country as one of its kind. His creations from sea shells and corals were a treat to watch. Being single he resided most of his time in the Hostel and his room was full of his masterpieces. In spite of all this he was a simple man. He was at times an acting warden of the Hostel and students liked him as he was very receptive to their wishes. He served Hartley for nearly twenty years and there are many students who have passed through him.
