Rudolph, who is probably Cyprian Rudolf, one of the fathers of the Community of the Resurrection who taught at St Johns for some 27 years. He had visited England (date unknown) and made contact with the staff at the British Museum in order to acquire Greek, Roman and Egyptian artefacts to illustrate the teaching of history at the school.
