Terence Miller
Terence Miller (19 January 1918 – 17 January 2015) was a British academic and professor of geology. He was appointed Principal of the University of Rhodesia in 1967.[1] During this period, his political views brought him hate mail[2] and he rapidly came into conflict with the government.[3] When in 1969 Rhodesia declared itself a republic, with a racist constitution, Prof. Miller resigned his position and returned to the UK, joining the University of Reading as visiting professor,[2] before being appointed Director of the newly formed Polytechnic of North London in 1971.
He died on 17 January 2015.[4]
