Abstract
MUCH regret was felt in scientific circles at the death of Dr. R. H. Jude on June 1. Until his retirement during the War, Dr. Jude was for more than thirty years in charge of the Mathematical and Physical Department of Rutherford College, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and he played a very prominent part in the higher education particularly of young engineers on Tyneside, many of whom now occupy prominent positions in the engineering world. For several years he had been a victim of diabetes, but, in spite of ill-health and progressive deafness and blindness, he retained to the end a brave fortitude in his outlook, an active and a clear mentality, and his letters rarely lacked in that spark of dry humour so characteristic of him in earlier years.
