Selfe was honoured during his life by the name of the Sydney suburb of Normanhurst, where his grand house ''Gilligaloola'' is a local landmark. He was energetically involved in organisations such as the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts and the Australian Historical Society. As president of the Board of Technical Education, he fought consistently for the establishment of an independent system of technical education to serve the needs of a rapidly industrialising society. He was acknowledged upon his death as one of the best-known people in, and greatest individual influences upon, the city of Sydney. Provided by Wikipedia
