In this paper the Lucasian Professor of Applied Mathematics in the University of Cambridge studies the role of ocean science in the service of mankind, and examines the interaction between the many disciplines which make up that science. The paper, which was written in May 1972 (and a version of which was published in the Bulletin of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications for February 1973), was presented at a conference held in Greenwich on 12–14 September 1973 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the Royal Naval College. (Note: the National Institute of Oceanography referred to in the text is now known as the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences.)

ABSTRACTThis article is a revised and expanded version of my inaugural lecture as Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge, delivered on 20 Oct. 2011. It explores how the religious upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries reshaped perceptions of the past, stimulated shifts in historical method, and transformed the culture of memory, before turning to the interrelated question of when and why contemporaries began to remember the English Reformation as a decisive juncture and critical turning point in history. Investigating the interaction between personal recollection and social memory, it traces the manner in which remembrance of the events of the 1530s, 1540s, and 1550s evolved and splintered between 1530 and 1700. A further theme is the role of religious and intellectual developments in the early modern period in forging prevailing models of historical periodization and teleological paradigms of interpretation.

The question in 1898 of the recognition by Cambridge University of St Edmund's House, a Roman Catholic foundation, might initially seem to involve questions irrelevant in the modern university. It can, however, be seen to raise issues concerning modernity, the place of religion in the university and the role of the university itself. This article therefore sets this incident in university history in wider terms and examines the ways in which the recognition of St Edmund's House was a chapter in the history of liberalism, in the history of Roman Catholicism, in the history of education and in the history of secularism.

This special issue wants to honour the memory of Giulio Regeni, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge who was assassinated while he was conducting field research on independent trade unions in Egypt. This introduction and the following articles focus on the theoretical, empirical and methodological questions at the core of Regeni’s research. Unions have traditionally been regarded as crucial for representing the interests of the working class as a whole and for building and sustaining industrial and political democracy; however, there is a debate about the conditions under which unions can be effective, and the role of unions’ internal democracy is particularly controversial. The article discusses the theoretical linkages between trade unions, democratization and union democracy and concludes with a reflection on the new concerns about the risk of conducting field research on these issues raised by Regeni’s death.

This paper describes an approach to structuring the make or buy decision process, basing it firmly in the context of an overall manufacturing strategy. The work has been carried out jointly by the University of Cambridge Manufacturing Engineering Group and Lucas Industries. A review of the current state of ideas surrounding the linked issues of vertical integration and make or buy decisions is presented. Important features of the approach include identification of core manufacturing capabilities, assessment of the role of technology in manufacturing, the development of a cost model to support make or buy decisions and a review of the strategic implications of varying degrees of vertical integration. Further, the approach has been embodied in a practical methodology that has been applied within Lucas Aerospace. A brief review of this practical application is included.

NewYork: Facts on File, Inc., 1994.224 pp.One of the many expressions of the postmodernist revolt against themodernist western establishment is said to be its popular culture. The theoreticalliterature produced across this cultural divide often characterizes itin terms of two extremes: as a supreme expression of the true aspirations ofthe heretofore underprivileged masses or as a weapon in the hands of thetraditionally powerful political, social, and economic elites. The latter useit as a tool with which to manipulate the masses for their own respectiveagendas. A constant refrain of Hitler invoking Nazi supremacy over allhumanity, as well as our own self-serving politicians doing their own thingin the name of the “intelligent and well-informed will of the American people,”are only two of many examples of this instrument’s ubiquitous use.The Multiple Uses of Popular CultureThe vast grey area between these two margins includes umpteen otherdescriptions of popular culture, such as real “texture of our environment”and “adjustive syndrome,” and Matthew Arnold’s “heedless democratization.”In addition, there are such definitions as “banality” (Elliot), “reductionof the individual to basic instincts,” “titillation of the superficial senses”(Whitman), and “an expression denied by persistent puritanism and bourgeoispower” (Marx). Leavis also joined Arnold and Elliot in resisting thepopular resistance to “authority” found in traditional culture ...

The movement in favour of organised research in Cyprus which, originating in the latter part of the summer of 1887, led before the end of the year to the formation of a Fund directed by a Committee comprising all those who are most prominent in supporting the study of Classical Archaeology in this country, has been set forth already in circulars and reports, and needs only a brief allusion here in order to explain the causes and conditions of our subsequent work at Old Paphos and other sites in the winter and spring of this year. In the early mouths of 1887, Dr. F. H. H. Guillemard, the well-known traveller and ornithologist, spent a considerable time in Cyprus, and in the less known parts of the island saw and heard so much of continual discoveries, legitimate and illegitimate, that, on his return to England, he lost no time in pressing the desirability of sending an expedition on many who were interested in matters archaeological, with the result that the University of Cambridge took into consideration the question of making a grant from the Worts Travelling Bachelor's Fund for that purpose. The Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies was also sounded, and many circumstances conspired to induce their favourable consideration for such a proposal. Besides the valuable information communicated by Dr. Guillemard, it was known that the High Commissioner of Cyprus had resolved for sufficient reasons, which need not be detailed here, to discountenance in future all private exploration in the island, but at the same time had declared his willingness to help any work organised and conducted by a recognised scientific body: it resulted therefore that, unless such bodies undertook the task, no one would attempt to solve the many problems connected with the island for some years to come.

Derek Moore was born in South Shields and studied at the local grammar school, from which he gained an Exhibition to Jesus College, Cambridge. However, before going to Cambridge he did his National Service in the Royal Air Force and was stationed in Yorkshire, where one of his fellow personnel was the poet Ted Hughes. He entered Jesus College in 1951, studying for the Mathematical Tripos, which he gained in 1954, and for Part III, which he gained in 1955. He then became a research student in applied mathematics and theoretical fluid mechanics under the supervision of Dr Ian Proudman and was awarded a PhD degree of the University of Cambridge in 1958. Thereafter he held positions at the University of Bristol, the Goddard Space Flight Center, New York, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and Imperial College, London, where he spent the major part of his career. He became distinguished for the Moore-Spiegel oscillator and the Moore singularity. Moreover he had a strong interest in jazz, which is the subject of an appreciation by Peter Batten.
