110 OBITUARIES Edwin was well liked by his colleagues who not only remembered him for his work on prostaglandins and their derivatives, but also for lighter articles in Chemistry and Industry that criticised the chemistry involved in one of the crime stories of Dorothy Sayers. His umpiring of the annual staff-versus-student cricket game was also appreciated by colleagues and students alike. When Edwin retired in 1985 he continued with enthusiasm to referee impromptu cricket games in his own garden. Retirement also meant time for all of Edwin’s many and varied interests that ranged from family genealogy, picking fungi, studying modern art and medieval history to savouring mulberry jam and chocolate biscuits. Edwin is remembered as a kind and emphatic man with a deep-seated consciousness of both nature and humanity’s fragility when faced by oppressive and stifling forces. Maybe it was this sensibility that also attuned him to the art of satire, which he loved so long as it was subtle and not crude. He enjoyed Gilbert and Sullivan, the Goons and Flanders and Swann and was known for his Peter Ustinov-like impersonations. Army life, as experienced during his national service with all its potential for absurdity, inspired many of his anecdotes. Edwin is survived by Kay, his wife of 47 years, as well as by his children Ruth, Mark and Neil. He was a loving and devoted husband as well as a wise and considerate father. Edwin retained fond memories of his time at King’s throughout his life and was proud to be known as a “Kingsman.” He died on 29 April 2005. ANTHONY LEONARD CUBBERLEY (1959) was a Classics teacher and experienced archaeologist whose enthusiasm rubbed off on both colleagues and students. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, he died on 26 May 2006 after suffering a period of deteriorating health. Tony was born in Bolton on 4 December 1939 and was educated at Bolton School. At King’s he read Classics and Modern Languages and represented the College at football and cricket. After obtaining a PGCE he became a Classics
master at the King’s School, Worcester, where he stayed for 12 years. He then moved on to head the Classics Department at Sevenoaks School. At a time when Classics seemed to be somewhat under threat of extinction, Tony set about revitalising their teaching and this, together with the regular field trips he organised to sites such as Rome and Pompeii, meant that when he left the School after nearly 20 years, the Department was flourishing.Tony moved on to undertake research at St John’s College, Oxford, and also spent time at the British School in Rome before returning to Worcester for his retirement. JULIAN PETER FRANCIS CUMMINS (1973) was a man whose life was cut tragically short on 9 February 2007 when he suffered a serious brain haemorrhage whilst doing maintenance work on his yacht in Mallorca. He had recovered from another brain haemorrhage three years prior to his death, at only 52 years of age.The name of his boat, the Alcuin, gives away not only his deeply felt Christianity but also the love for his adopted Yorkshire, as the first Alcuin was an ecclesiastical statesman from York in the 9th century. But Julian was so many more things than a Christian, a sailor and aYorkshire man. He was also a businessman, a committed politician, an officer in theTerritorial Army and a loving husband and father. More than anything Julian was the eternally enthusiastic schoolboy with an insatiable appetite for life. Born in St Asaph, North Wales, on 29 January1955 and educated at Wellington College, Julian came to King’s to read Theology. He arrived with a grey filing cabinet full of notes from previous political activism, and was seen trying to hoist it up the steep staircase of Market Hostel wearing his trademark grin. At Cambridge he plunged into student politics with energy and gusto, standing out at King’s for his liberal convictions and noncompliance with the breeze of leftist ideology and countercultural fashion that characterised the College at the time. He joined the Union of Liberal Students and wrote for the radical liberal magazine Liberator as well as signing up for the Territorial Army. In 1976, he contested the Newnham ward for the City Council at only 21 years old. He did not win that election, and was the butt of a lot of teasing from his fellow students for his convictions, but he bore all of this with good humour and a smile.
