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.

Topical Interest

This volume contains lectures given at the second of the series of international Gordon Godfrey workshops. These workshops have been held annually since 1991 at the University of New South Wales, each covering a novel research area in condensed matter physics that is of topical interest. They are jointly organised by the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales and the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Australian National University. The late Gordon Godfrey was an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of New South Wales. He bequeathed his estate for the promotion and teaching of theoretical physics within the university.

First World

The theatre shelves of secondhand bookshops testify to the sometime popularity and prolific output of the theatre publicist and would-be historian Walter Macqueen-Pope. Yet even by the time Macqueen-Pope was publishing his later volumes in the 1950s, the rise of academic theatre scholarship was questioning such anecdotally based and unverified accounts of the theatre and its past. Today, we can look at Macqueen-Pope, and at the period immediately before the First World War which was so often the focus of his attention, not so much for evidence of flawed scholarship as for his revealing attitude towards his subject and its social context. For anecdotage and nostalgia have inevitably to be taken into account in any historical approach to so ephemeral an art as the theatre, and, as the authors here conclude, while Macqueen-Pope may not tell us the whole truth about his many subjects, such a ‘wistful remembrancer’ remains significant to any investigation of a theatrical past ‘that must always be a melting pot of imperfect recognitions and unattainable desires’. Jim Davis is Associate Professor of Theatre and Head of the School of Theatre, Film and Dance at the University of New South Wales. victor Emelijanow is Professor of Drama and Head of the Department of Drama at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales. Both have written extensively on nineteenth-century British theatre and are the joint authors of Reflecting the Audience: London Theatregoing 1840–1880, which has just been published by the University of lowa Press.

The University

George Ingle Finch was born in Orange, New South Wales, on 4 August 1888, the eldest son of G. E. Finch, Chairman of the Land Court of New South Wales. His early education was at Wolaroi College, but he was privately tutored in Europe. After a short period at the Ecole de Médecine in Paris, he switched from medicine to physical sciences and studied at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule, Zürich, from 1906 to 1911. He won the gold medal of the diploma course, and served as a research assistant at the E.T.H. and later at the University of Geneva. As a consequence of his discovery of an improved ammonia catalyst for the synthesis of ammonia, he became associated with ‘Badische Anilin and Sodafabrik’ and spent a period as manager in one of their subsidiaries. This interest in technical application of science aroused and stimulated by his period in Zürich, remained a feature of all the diverse scientific activities of Finch in later life. An enthusiasm for mountaineering, dating from his school days and enhanced by the opportunities afforded during his years in Switzerland, formed a permanent feature of his later life.
