Thank you Caroline. Kindly and inspirational are the words I would also
choose to describe Felix Hull's term of office as external examiner for
the Archives course at Aberystwyth. It was a time of particular financial
pressure on universities and he was very supportive of the need to
maintain specialist fields. He was able to offer specific advice on a
remarkable range of subjects and issues while also representing all the
best qualities of professionalism.
