Year of publication 1960 - Fell and Rock Climbing Club

IN MEMORIAM 77assert that, protected by all that modern science could givethem, and backed as they were by the accumulated knowledgeof a generation of Himalayan climbing, their enterprise wasnot a bit less 'justifiable' than that of, say, Mallory and Irvine,of honoured memory.One must grieve for their death, yet one cannot but applaudthe fearless and joyous spirit that took them there.TOM PRICEIt is greatly regretted that it has been found impossible,up to the time of going to press, to obtain obituary noticesof the following members whom the Club has lost throughdeath since the last issue of the Journal. The Editor wouldwelcome notices for the 1961 number and hopes that anyonewho could help will get in touch with her.A. w. BOYD, 1911-1959K. KING, 1937-1959A. E. OLLERENSHAW, 1929-1959R. SOUTH, 1913-1959This applies also to Miss M. D. Weston and L. G. Lowrywhose deaths were reported in the 1959 number oi the Journal.Since going to press it has been learned with much regretthat one of our earliest members, A. H. Binns, who joined theClub in 1907, has died at his home at Stockton-on-Tees.A memoir will appear in the 1961 number of the Journal.But we like to thinkTheir spirits, passing like the summer breeze,Still draw their fragrance from our heather slopes,And wander on to greet the tufted grassWithin the crevices of some high rock,Where distant views entrance.Lawrence Pilkington
