Appendix B:\u00a0 List of Faculty to 2003 (as far as I can determine)<\/strong> by Murray Woodside<\/p>\n\n\n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

I have left out some people who were here briefly. Dates are surprisingly difficult, some are from incomplete records and some from my imperfect memory. Question marks indicate uncertainty. For now I have stopped at my retirement in 2003; the majority of the current department (2026) arrived since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
