1 Now known as the Jenkin Building
2 Oxford engineers at that time spent their first year on mathematics and/or physics [?]
3 The Professor and Reader held Fellowships: Southwell at Brasenose, and Moullin at Magdalen from 1933
4 The R101 perhaps? R34 made a successful voyage across the Atlantic. Southwell came to Oxford before the R101 disaster
5 Moullin got his professorship — in Electrical Engineering at Cambridge
6 Formally called Rector
7 Hooker went to Rolls-Royce before Bristol, and later returned there. The RB211 is a Rolls-Royce engine
8 Editor's comment: it would be interesting to see how present undergraduates would cope with the Schools questions used as end-of-chapter examples in Southwell's Theory of Elasticity, 1936.
