Kenneth James Le Couteur was born in St Helier, Jersey, on 16 September 1920 and died in Canberra on 18 April 2011. He had a distinguished career as a theoretical physicist in the United Kingdom and in Australia as the Foundation Professor of Theoretical Physics in the Research School of Physical Sciences of the Australian National University. He was internationally recognized for his significant contributions to the statistical model of excited nuclei and the extraction of beams from proton synchrocyclotron accelerators.

David Catcheside was one of the seminal figures in the post-war development of genetics, both in the United Kingdom and Australia. He made distinguished contributions in several different areas: plant genetics and cytology, the genetic effects of radiation, fungal biochemical genetics, controls of genetic recombination and, in his retirement, bryology. As a teacher and postgraduate supervisor he played a large part in launching the next generation of geneticists in both hemispheres. As a professor and administrator he was responsible for several new institutional developments including the first Australian Department of Genetics, the first Department of Microbiology at Birmingham and, perhaps most importantly, the Research School of Biological Sciences of the Australian National University.

The University

Following wartime work on radar and a University of London PhD awarded for measurement of absolute power, Bob Street developed his interest in low-temperature magnetism in solids while on the staff at Sheffield University. In 1960 he became Foundation Professor of Physics at Monash University where he built a department with strong capabilities in solid state physics. His own research continued at Monash but was put aside when he became Director of the Research School of Physical Sciences at the Australian National University (1973–7) and then Vice-Chancellor at the University of Western Australia (1978–86). Although the ANU experience was not a happy one, he flourished at UWA where his initiatives and strategic thinking laid the groundwork for advancement of the university. Street had kept up with advances in his research field and upon retirement he went back to it with notable success in publication, supervision of research students, acquisition of research grants and fruitful collaborations. He is fondly remembered as a first class physicist with a passion for cricket.

The first of two volumes, this collection of essays on Scots law represents a selection of the most cited articles published by Professor John W. Cairns over a distinguished career in legal history. It is a mark of his international eminence that much of his prolific output has been published outside of the United Kingdom, in a wide variety of journals and collections. The consequence is that some of his most valuable writing has appeared in sources which are difficult to locate. This collection covers the foundation and continuity of Scots law from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Scotland through the eighteenth-century influence of Dutch Humanism into the nineteenth century and the further development of the Scots legal system and profession.

The University

This volume contains the lectures given at the fourth international Gordon Godfrey workshop held at the University of New South Wales in Sydney from 26 to 28 September 1994. This time our lecturers came from Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and Vietnam, as well as of course from Australia. There was a total of seventeen lectures. The workshops are jointly organised by the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales and the Department of Theoretical Physics, Research School of Physical Sciences at the Australian National University and are held annually at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Each workshop concentrates on a different and novel research area of current interest in condensed matter physics. The late Gordon Godfrey was an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of New South Wales who bequeathed his estate for the promotion and the teaching of theoretical physics within the university.

Atomic And Molecular Physics

The Advanced Workshop on Atomic and Molecular Physics was held at the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University between February 13-15, 1995. The Workshop was a bilateral meeting involving physicists and chemists from Australia and the United States and the main goals were to bring together research workers in the field of low energy atomic and chemical physics to review recent advances and to chart possible directions for the future. The Workshop attracted 75 registrants. Of these, 20 eminent speakers in diverse areas of atomic and molecular physics were supported directly by grants from the Department of Industry, Science and Technology (Australia) and the National Science Foundation (USA). The remaining 55 attendees comprised 30 staff and, most importantly, 25 postgraduate students from Australian institutions.
