John Wilkins
English mathematician and scientist (1614–1672)
Born at Fawsley in Northamptonshire, Wilkins was educated at Oxford University, graduating in 1631. He was a parliamentarian during the English Civil War and became warden of Wadham College, Oxford University. In 1659 he was appointed master of Trinity College, Cambridge University. After the Restoration he lost his post but regained favor to become bishop of Chester.
Wilkins's chief contribution to the development of science was his part in founding the Royal Society. His influence can be traced back to his student days at Oxford when he collected around him a lively group of philosophers and scientists who later became founder members of the society in 1662. His own writings covered a wide range of fields and although he had a certain amount of mathematical knowledge he was more a practical scientist. His Discovery of a World in the Moon (1638) is a fantasy in which he speculated about the structure of the Moon. A later semimathematical work, Mathematical Magick, deals with the principles of machine design and in it Wilkins argued that perpetual motion is a theoretical possibility. One nonscientific interest to which Wilkins devoted much time was his project of devising a universal language.
College history

It takes its name from John Wilkins, Bishop of Chester. Wilkins was educated at Magdalen, Oxford and in 1648 he became warden of Wadham College. In 1659 he was appointed as Master of Trinity College, Cambridge by Richard Cromwell. In 1668 he became Bishop of Chester.
A champion of science, he expounded the discoveries and theories of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. He was a founder and first Secretary of the Royal Society. Wilkins died in 1672 in London.
The College motto is "Venite Gradatim Repetamus Opera Dei" (Come, let us gradually seek the works of God).

Dada Masilo,Who Fused Ballet With African Dance, Dies at 39
Ms. Masilo, a South African dancer and choreographer, was known as a fearless creative who brought African dance styles to traditional pieces like “Swan Lake.”
“I don’t just want to be a body in space,” she said of her dancing and choreography in a 2016 interview with The New York Times, before the production’s New York debut. “I want to open up conversations about issues like homophobia and domestic violence, because those are realities at home.”
Critics praised her powerfully muscular, kinetic movement and her witty handling of these 19th century ballets’ themes, which she deployed to raise thorny issues including race relations, feminist struggles and homophobia. She followed “Swan Lake” in 2017 with “Giselle,” another well-reviewed work that mixed African dance techniques with ballet and contemporary dance.
Dikeledi Masilo was born on Feb. 21, 1985, in Soweto, South Africa, and grew up as the country was transitioning from apartheid to a democratic government.
