• 1964 April the Division arranged three courses of lectures at the universities of the Witwatersrand, Natal and Cape Town. Forty-four people attended the course on bearing capacity at Wits, at which the use of the bearing capacity tables in the SABS draft code was encouraged, based on adequate soil profile recognition and description.

At this course the general view was that the South African engineer needed courses with local content and case studies and not merely overall views of the subject.
