Opus is saddened to report the death of the following Old Portmuthians and colleagues Prof. Donald BOULTER CBE, MA, DPhil (Botany) (1926-2012) Donald Boulter, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Durham, was at PGS from 1938-1944 and, through a distinguished academic career, established himself as one of the world’s leading experts in plant genetics. The Boulter Prize in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry is an annual award made by the University to a student reading for a degree in Molecular Biology who performs most meritoriously, at or near first class standard, in either the second year or Finals examinations. Professor Boulter was also instrumental in establishing the world-renowned Durham University Botanic Garden, which is set amongst beautiful mature woodlands on the southern outskirts of the city. The Boulter Room, part of the Garden’s Visitor Centre, hosts educational talks and public lectures on all aspects of botany and horticulture. Always “Prof” to his students, Donald was an inspirational teacher whose aim was to achieve better crop production through the application of biochemistry and molecular biology. He did much to shape the path of plant science and its leading institutions across the world.
