The University

William Cudmore McGullagh Lewis, who died at his home in Malvern on 11 February 1956—eight years after his retirement from the Grant-Brunner Chair of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry in the University of Liverpool— was a pioneer in research and made lasting and outstanding contributions to physical chemistry. He will always be remembered for his studies in the theory of chemical change and colloid science. Lewis was born at Belfast on 29 June 1885 and was the only son of a family of five children. His father, Edward Lewis, was a native of Belfast and a linen merchant in that city; his mother, Francis Welsh McCullagh, was the daughter of the Rev. William Cudmore McCullagh of Ballysillan Presbyterian Church, Belfast. Lewis married Jeannie Waterson Darrock, of a Scottish family who had settled in London and their only child, Ian, became a lecturer in physics in Liverpool University before joining the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell.

The field of 'active learning' is growing rapidly in many areas and high-quality software that allows the student to interact with a particular environment is now becoming commonplace. Chemistry is no exception and one area that has seen extensive development is the use of computer simulations of laboratory procedures used either as a preparation for laboratory work or to carry out a virtual investigation. In the former case, Nicholls (1999) describes a range of software providing pre-laboratory support for a range of firstyear undergraduate inorganic chemistry experiments. Using these computer programs, students work at their own rate on material presented through graphics, animations, simple calculations, tests and questions prior to carrying out the actual laboratory exercise. It is claimed that this approach'encourages students to evaluate critically procedures and results by ensuring that they think beforehand about the tasks they will be performing subsequently in the actual laboratory class. Garratt (1997) describes a different approach, predominantly in the areas of physical chemistry and biochemistry, giving students the opportunity to design 'virtual investigations' and to process and interpret the resulting data. For example, students are asked to choose a set of experimental parameters to allow the kinetics of a particular enzyme (randomly generated from 150,000 hypothetical examples) to be investigated.DOI:10.1080/0968776000080205

Dennis Evans was an extraordinarily versatile chemist whose interest spanned the conventional boundaries of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. He made highly individual contributions to all these branches, particularly to inorganic chemistry, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetism and the reactions of oxygen. His enjoyment of chemistry inspired and delighted those around him.
