Sir Arnold Wolfendale, the fourteenth Astronomer Royal, was one of the most significant scientific voices of the last 70 years, not only for his contributions in cosmic ray physics but in his leadership of various national and international scientific bodies. Here at Durham he laid the foundations of a physics department which would develop world class research not only in cosmic rays, but in also in cosmology and astronomy.
