Abstract
When first asked to contribute to this volume to mark Professor Kopal’s retirement after thirty years as Head of the Department of Astronomy at Manchester, my mind cast back to my first meeting with him, a scant ten years ago. Like most things connected with this man, this could never be classified as commonplace. Having applied to undertake a post-graduate course at Manchester, I received a letter in London asking me to attend at a certain date and time at the tomb of Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey. This I did, to find several others milling about, eyeing the stone work, inscriptions and each other. At five minutes past the appointed hour in swept Prof. Kopal up the main aisle, resplendent in fur coat and accompanied by two or three of his staff, and proceeded to interview us hopeful candidates in a very business-like manner in the front pew. This lasted until the winter’s light faded and a verger appeared before us to end the interview by enquiring “whether the gentlemen would be staying for Evensong”. Thus began a very warm professional association!
