Quindor Syms (19/7/1802 - 10/1/1881) was ASO's Ers Orator for 16 years in the 19th century. Syms was born in Haast,AUR the son of a farmer. His maternal grandfather, Jan Calder, was an ASO Orator. His family moved to Corel as his father became a businessman and he was educated in Corel's South Aurora University College (SAUC), where he got his degree in Medicine. He worked as a doctor for several years in Aurora, but was also involved in the ASO, as his mother introduce him to the establishment. He became an Orator in 1850 and Ers Orator in 1865, after the death of Stor Vilfan. He worked hard for the complete assimilation of the Maori settlers into the Pharonian society and ways of life and opposed Prime Minister Louis Degeer when he introduced the bi-cameral Parliament. Being a close friend to British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, he convinced him that the appointment of Harry Sheldon as Pharos Premier in 1879 by Queen Victoria was of outmost interest of Britain, taking into consideration the fragile political situation in Pharos and the advance of Socialists. He died of complications of gout.
