In 1934 Cameron returned as a Senior Master to his alma mater, Queen's College, to teach mathematics, and to contribute to the development of his school. While teaching at Queen's College, he wrote several dramatic works, published an anthology of Guyanese poetry, wrote numerous essays, memoranda and articles on the culture and politics of Guyanese life, and authored four high-school text books on mathematics (1942), as well as the history of Queen's College (1951). He was appointed Deputy Principal in 1958. In 1968 he became Professor Emeritus, occupying the Chair of Mathematics at the University of Guyana.

Honours
He was awarded the M.B.E. in 1962, Guyana's Golden Arrow of Achievement (A.A.)  in 1972, and the Sir Alfred Victor Crane Gold Medal for his contribution to education in Guyana in 1976.

Posthumous accolades

USS Firecrest (AMc-33) was a Firecrest-class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.

The wooden-hulled purse seiner S. G. Giuseppe, built in 1937 at Wilmington, Los Angeles, by the boatbuilders Trigoning and Carlson, was acquired by the Navy from M. B. Giuseppe, of San Pedro, Los Angeles, on 5 November 1940, and delivery and acceptance by the Commandant, 11th Naval District, took place the same day. Conversion to a coastal minesweeper began immediately, at the Campbell Machine Co., of San Diego, California; renamed Firecrest and designated as a coastal minesweeper (AMc-33), the ship was placed in service on 4 April 1941, Ensign Charles S. Judson, Jr., USNR, officer-in-charge.

World War II service 

By the end of April 1941, Firecrest was operating out of the Section Base, San Diego, north of the destroyer base at that port. In concert with , she began daily operations in San Diego harbor, streaming her sweep gear; she also conducted independent sweeping operations during that time. As the spring of 1941 gave way to the summer, Firecrest alternately swept the harbor waters with her magnetic or acoustical gear, patrolled, or conducted training. On 17 July 1941, during a towing operation in a heavy ground swell, she lost one of her 400-pound anchors.

Attack on Pearl Harbor 

After a brief period out of commission pending the arrival of new parts for her 540 kilowatt generator engine (3–4 December 1941), she resumed active operations on 5 December 1941, underway on assigned duty planting drill mines. Two days later, however, the Japanese surprise attack against the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor resulted in emergency duty for Firecrest at the harbor entrance, with four new men being assigned to her complement.

Assigned minesweeping and patrol duties 

With her home yard at Mare Island, Vallejo, California, and her home port, San Diego, Firecrest was transferred from duty under Commander, Western Sea Frontier to Commander, Naval Local Defense Forces, 11th Naval District, on 16 March 1943. She conducted coastal patrol and minesweeping operations into the following summer.

Services no longer required 

Firecrest's services "no longer required in minesweeping duties," Commandant, 11th Naval District, was requested (20 July 1944) to remove all type and military equipment and place her out of service with an eye toward future disposition. Accordingly, placed out of service on 18 September 1944, Firecrest was stricken from the Navy Register on 14 October 1944 and delivered to the War Shipping Administration on 3 April 1945.

Post-war return to fishing 

Reverting to her original name, S. G. Giuseppe, soon thereafter, and under the ownership of Antonio D'Ambra of Los Angeles, California, she operated in the fishing trade into the early 1950s.

Thalassianthus aster is a species of sea anemone in the family Thalassianthidae. It dwells in a number of habitats, even existing symbiotically on top of other motile invertebrates such as hermit crabs in a relationship similar to the pom pom crab. Its nematocysts contain a Type-II Na+-channel toxin known as δ-TLTX-Ta1a according to the currently developing systematic nomenclature for peptide and protein toxins from sea anemones.

Rosebud was a schooner  originally built at Henry Barrick, Whitby, Yorkshire (England), of oak, coppered and copper-fastened in 1841, the vessel was  long, had a breadth of , and a depth of .

Ownership 
The Vessel is known to have been sold sometime in January 1855, to James Purves from Luttrell Bros. (The company owned by the grandparents of Dr. Edmund Hobson and his illegitimate brother Edward William Hobson). It appears that the vessel had a different configuration of sails at the time of selling being that of a Brigantine. James Purves stated he was owner and was a plaintiff in a number a court cases over a two-year period, over the insurance claim of the vessel.

Fate and Grounding location 
It is thought that the vessel has beached and wrecked in Rosebud on 2 June 1855, though historical newspaper evidence disputes this claim. A series of court cases brought by James Purves, showed the in fact the vessel was abandoned, the advertised location of the vessel is stated to be a mile from Arthurs Seat closer to Mt Martha and not South, and also lay intact with little damage and for a period of almost two years, considering the first advertisement so far found from 28 December 1855 to the last on 23 December 1857, with the vessel being sold to the highest bidder at 12pm by H.A. Coffy on behalf of the underwriters of the vessel W.M. Tennent and Co. at the Hall of Commerce in Collins Street. Based on this information it is high likely that the vessel was indeed salvaged.

More information to be uncovered 
Considering the number of legal cases that ran over a two-year period around the vessel by James Purves, it is highly likely that a large amount of factual information lies undisclosed from the cases, in the Public Record Office Victoria.

Purves v. Smyth - At least two cases.

Purves v. Kent -  One case.

Purves v. Martin - At least two cases.

There is also a second vessel called Rosebud also a schooner around at the time that the Purves owned ship lay abandoned in 1856. Shipping intelligence shows another "Rosebud" schooner entering in and out of Port Phillip bay, it may be possible that once sold the salvaged vessel Rosebud was renamed.

Urban Myth 
Advertising for the vessel also stated that the vessel has all it tackle and gear, on board the ship. This now raises substantial questions about how Rosebud was named as it looks like the ship was not ransacked or plundered, it had been stated by Isobelle Moresby in her 1955 brochure "Rosebud, Flower of the Peninsula", that "her planks made fishermen's huts and fences, and house wives delighted in her salvaged damask." The article also points out that the original name of the town Rosebud was in fact Wul-Wulu-Buluk cited by  Isobelle Moresby as "Wooloowoolooboolook" and not Banksia Point as some people think.

Jacques Klein (10 July 1930 – 24 October 1982) was a Brazilian composer and pianist.

Born to a Jewish family in Aracati, he grew up in the nearby city of Fortaleza, where he began to study piano at the Conservatorio Alberto Nepomuceno, which was founded by his father. At the beginning of the 1940s he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he studied with Liddy Mignone at the Conservatorio Brasileiro de Musica, where he himself began to teach in the 1950s. At the age of thirteen he temporarily left classical music and set up a jazz trio with his friends Dinarte Rodrigues (on guitar) and Breno Porto (on drums). The trio began to perform once a week on Radio Jornal do Brasil, starting in 1946. In 1948 Klein returned to classical music and studied with William Kapell in New York City and with Bruno Seidlhofer in Vienna. In 1953 he won first prize at the Geneva International Music Competition, which launched his international career. In 1954 Klein appeared with the London Philharmonic. In 1955 he was chosen as the best pianist of the year in London and received the Harriet Cohen Medal. He formed a duo with violinist Salvatore Accardo and performed with pianist Friedrich Gulda. He taught at the school of music at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and at the University of Miami. He made a number of recordings of the Brazilian samba. His students include Egberto Gismonti, Clelia Iruzun, and Arnaldo Cohen.

The Latin American Music Center of Indiana University awards a Jacques Klein Prize for the best performance of a solo piano work by a Brazilian composer in his memory; the prize is worth $500.
