Dr Geoffrey Thomas Bennett, who was made Fellow of the Royal Society in 1914, and served on the Council 1936-1938, died at Cambridge, after an operation, on 11 October 1943. Born in London, 30 June 1868, he was at University College School, under H. W. Eve as Headmaster, for three years, till 1886, but at University College, of which the school was then an integral part, for the session 1886-1887. As a distinguished alumnus he was elected Fellow of University College in 1892. At University College School his mathematical master was Robert Tucker, well known for many years as the genial and keen Secretary (with Morgan Jenkins) of the London Mathematical Society, who edited Clifford’s papers and was the origin of ‘Tucker’s Circle’. Bennett obtained a scholarship at St John’s College, Cambridge, in December 1886, and came into residence October 1887. Another pupil of Tucker’s, Vaughan, came up to Trinity College at the same time. In 1890 Bennett was placed first of the men in the Mathematical Tripos, as senior wrangler, Miss Fawcett being placed above him; in 1891 he obtained, with her, a First Class in the Second Part of the examination, and the first Smith’s Prize in 1892. He was then made Fellow of St John’s College; but in 1893 he was appointed at Emmanuel College to be College Lecturer in Mathematics (and Junior Fellow at that college), with W. B. Allcock as his Emmanuel colleague. Previously Mr R. R. Webb, though resident in St John’s, had given lectures for the group of five colleges of which Emmanuel was part, and Bennett had been ‘coached’ by him through his undergraduate career.
