Else, clean and tidy. Good+ From the library of Doreen and Walter Newlyn. The British economist and educator, Walter Newlyn (1915-2002), was known for his work on monetary theory and with African nations. From 1967 (until his retirement in 1978) he was Professor of Developmental Economics at the University of Leeds (UoL) and in 1964 founded its African Studies Unit, now LUCAS. Both Doreen and Walter were passionate about theatre; in the late 1950s they set up the Uganda Pilgrim Players, the country's first multi-racial theatre group. Back in the UK, Doreen was key to the foundation of the Leeds Playhouse in 1968. The collection features two poems by Storm Jameson: 'Silchester' and 'Cloud Form'. A generation younger than Jameson (who graduated from UoL in 1912), both Doreen (who was a Social Studies Lecturer at UoL from 1948 to 1952) and Walter (who was, by 1948, an Assistant Lecturer) did overlap with her husband Guy Chapman's tenure as Professor of Modern History from 1945 to 1953.
