    [Professor Karunatillake had a] deep and insightful interest


    in Sri Lankan culture, including of course Sinhala folk
    traditions and practices but also extending to Sri Lankan
    Tamil culture. He has actively, in fact eagerly, embedded
    this in his teaching, and he has served as well as both an
    intellectual and a personal model for students. In short, he
    [was]… thoroughly dedicated and accomplished scholar
    and teacher. Like Chaucer’s clerk of Oxford, “gladly would
    he lerne and gladly teche”.
