 Prof. Sir William McCrea Obituaries
In common with many astronomers of his generation, most of his academic career was spent in mathematics departments, and his first astronomical appointment came in 1966 when he was appointed as the founding Professor of Astronomy at the University of Sussex.
However, his interest in astronomy started some 40 years earlier, while he was a research student of R H Fowler in Cambridge (although his first two papers were on the specific heats of carbon dioxide and water vapour).
Although this was approved by the Royal Society, the net result instead was the establishment of the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy in Cambridge, led by Fred Hoyle, and of the smaller Astronomy Centre at the University of Sussex, with himself as Research Professor and the late Roger Tayler as a university professor.
