Emeritus Professor Colin Hindley of the Institute of Education, University of London died on 12 May following surgery for lung cancer, aged 76. He will be remembered by many colleagues not only for his research on child development and individual differences but also for his personal support to individuals and organisations concerned with child development, both in this country and abroad. He was a founding Committee Member of the International Society for the Study of Behavioral Development and Advisory Editor for the Journal of Human Development. His work as a founding member of the Association of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines from 1958 onwards ensured its strong interdisciplinary base and a highly productive future. Perhaps even more significantly, many would wish to emphasise his particularly distinguished contribution as the founding Psychology Editor of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines from 1959–1969. In recognition of his long service to the Association at so many levels, he was made an Honorary Member on his retirement.
