'Professor Manfred Jurgensen…was accorded the high honour in 1981 to a Personal Chair. That recognition of his outstanding research and publication record did not protect him, in a decade of dwindling resources, from the need to assume the headship of his department and take on the role of an administrator. What is more remarkable is that the burdens of office have in no way stifled his creative instinct or curtailed his capacity to write and publish…he has been truly prolific in his output, an outstanding figure on the literary scene as well as inside the University world.'
