Obituary: Stanley Kennett
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FOR MANY years before and after the war, Stanley Kennett accepted the teaching of Metallurgy and Dental Materials to Liverpool dental students, writes Professor Roy Storer (further to the obituary by D. Ben Rees, 20 May). At that time, Dental Materials Science, as it is now known, was in its infancy as a subject of importance in the dental curriculum.
As someone totally divorced from the activities of the Dental School, he most ably conducted a course of lectures and practical classes for students who were eager to commence their clinical studies. The photograph of Stanley Kennett published with the obituary reminded me vividly of his upright appearance at the lectern, of his engaging smile and of his enthusiasm for a subject that was considered unimportant by some but which inspired others. He was a gifted lecturer who had a real interest in those he taught, from whatever Faculty they came.
