First he worked as a schoolteacher in north-east Victoria and Gippsland, then was appointed headmaster of St James’s Grammer School in Melbourne. Hart then completed a Master of Arts, a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science over the next eleven years. During this time, he continued to teach, lecturing in the fields of science, business and English. He worked at Melbourne Grammer School, the Working Men’s College, and at various Catholic teachers’ colleges. He also ran his own chemical analysis business for several years and was an ardent scholar of Shakespeare’s works. Alfred Hart was secretary and president of the Melbourne Shakespeare Society many times, a regular speaker at Society events and authored many key articles. |
