PROFESSOR
H.
C.
GUTTERIDGE,
Q.C.
We regret to announce the death
of
Emeritus Professor
H.
C.
Gutteridge,
Q.c.,
who was a member
of
our
Editorial Board from
the inception of the
Review.
This is not the place for a detailed
survey
of
his numerous contributions to legal scholarship and
education, but reference must be made to his distinguished work
as
a teacher and writer upon Mercantile Law, and of his outstanding
contributions in Comparative Law in which he was very much
of
a pioneer in this country.
As
a teacher he not only inspired his
students, but captured their aEection to an unusual degree, as is
shown by the brief tribute which we publish below.
“Former students in all parts
of
the world will have learnt
with the deepest regret of the death of Professor
H.
C.
Gutteridge.
No
one who knew Professor Gutteridge would, for a moment, suggest
that he neglected those of his students who came from Britain,
but he had a particularly keen interest in students from overseas,
especially those from the British dominions. To give details of his
many acts
of
personal kindness to those students would mean the
revealing of incidents which Professor Gutteridge, with that innate
modesty that was not the least
of
his many sterling qualities, would
never wish
to
be revealed. Suffice
it
to say that there are lawyers
overseas to whom the kindly word and the generous act
of
Professor
Gutteridge marked, in many cases, the turning point
in
their
careers. They mourn the loss
of
a true friend.
