Colleagues and former students will be saddened to learn of the death on 13 October of Francis (Frank) Lamport, Faculty Lecturer in German, Emeritus Fellow of Worcester College and Lecturer in German at Pembroke from 1961 to 2001. Frank was a warm and lively colleague, an astute and supportive tutor, and a popular and engaging lecturer. His extensive and erudite knowledge reached new audiences in a number of indispensable studies on, and translations of, German Classical Drama, and in the staging of his translations in numerous memorable productions, including at the RSC.

Our deepest condolences go to Frank’s family. Funeral arrangements are private and restricted, but it is hoped to hold a Faculty and College commemoration in due course.
