(19 May 2003)

The University has learned with sadness of the death of Dr Sid Holgate, the first Master of Grey College from its foundation in 1959 to his retirement in 1980. His association with the University spanned nearly eight decades from his undergraduate days at Hatfield College in the 1930s. They included a lectureship in mathematics (1942-46), a senior administrative post as Secretary of the Durham Colleges (1946-59), the Mastership of Grey and a never-ending interest in the University after retiring.
