"A Nationalist's Confession of Faith" by Tobias Muller "In 1913 and 1914 Tobie Muller, a man of exceptional promise - he died at the age of thirty-three in 1918 - made the first substantial intellectual pleas for an Afrikaner nationalism in Stellenbosch while working as a DRC minister. One was a speech entitled "A Nationalist's Confession of Faith." He received his first degree from Stellenbosch and subsequently refused a Rhodes scholarship, preferring instead to complete his studies in Utrecht in the Netherlands and Edinburgh in Scotland. The speech was widely discussed and later published. It made a nationalist appeal, but also warned against the pitfalls of nationalism. ....."
