Legacies make a difference

e academic legacy of Professor Andrew Lang (Physics 1944) is continuing thanks to his bequest to the University of Exeter.Professor Lang sadly passed away on June 30, 2008. As EmeritusProfessor of Physics at the University of Bristol, the academic had a distinguished career and pioneered studies in X-raydiffraction physics. He was an expert on crystal physics and was widely recognised for his development of the technique ofX-ray topography.

Professor Lang embarked on his academic career after he obtained a First-Class Honours degree in Physics at e University College ofthe South West of England, the predecessor to the University ofExeter, in 1944. He gained an MSc in 1947, a Cambridge PhD in1953 and went on to work in industrial research in the UK and inthe United States. In 1954 he was appointed as Assistant Professorof Physical Metallurgy at Harvard University and then moved to the University of Bristol to take up a Lectureship in Physics in 1960.Professor Lang spent the rest of his academic career at Bristol.

roughout his life he was a strong supporter of many charities,including the University of Exeter. In his will, he made a bequest to support investment in the University Library amounting to£80,000. He said the reason he wanted to support the Library was that one of the most important lessons he learnt at University was how to study alone.

Professor John Usher, the Head of theLaw School, sadly died suddenly inSeptember 2008. John was a leader inEuropean Law and strongly encouraged acomparative approach to legal study. Hebegan his career at Exeter in 1967, and

helped to establish Exeter as a leading force in the field of European Law.John was committed to helping students to reach their full potential, and forthis reason a scholarship fund has been established in his name.

e Fund aims to support:

• a hardship fund for undergraduates, especially those studying on schemesinvolving a year abroad, such as the LLB with International Study;

• a European Law dissertation prize for a student who produces anexceptional piece of written work;

• travel bursaries for postgraduate students attending Law conferencesoverseas.
