Wyn Evans for Chancellor of Cambridge University!
I thought I’d post a quick follow-up to this post about the campaign by Prof. Wyn Evans to be the next Chancellor of Cambridge University. When I posted that item, Wyn was seeking enough nominations to stand for election. I’m very glad to pass on the news that he got over 100 nominations, more than twice the number required to stand for election. He is therefore an official candidate for the election that will take place in July. I am a graduate of Cambridge University and have registered to vote in the forthcoming election.
P.S. This all reminds me that a mere 40 years ago I was preparing for my finals at Cambridge. I still have the papers I sat then and will share them on the anniversary for old times’ sake. The first papers were on Wednesday 22nd May 1985.

Do you still have copies of all your UG lecture notes and project work, as well as the exam papers?

I have my lecture notes from Years 2 and 3; I lost the first-year notes. I have used some of them when preparing lectures – including electromagnetism, relativity, and maths methods. I’ve never been asked to teach thermodynamics or quantum mechanics so have never really looked at those since I graduated.
I also have the write-up of my final year project.
