Corrections and clarifications

Dame Averil Cameron | Manchester Hippodrome photo

• Our obituary of Dame Averil Cameron said that “in 1978 she became the first female head of the [Kings College London] classics department, appointing Mary Beard to her first job there the following year”. In fact, Cameron did not become department head until 1984, though she did encourage Beard to apply for a lectureship in 1979 (23 April, Journal, p6).

• A picture was said to be of Hulme Hippodrome in 1949; however, it was of a different music hall in the city, the Manchester Hippodrome at Ardwick Green (Look back in grandeur, 30 April, G2, p4).
