Letter from Adams, Walter 1933-1936, 1933-10-01
Item
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.7653/1/i/A/5
Scope and Contents
Writing from the Academic Assistance Council in the Royal Society, Adams sends an agenda for a meeting and writes about the speakers. Austen Chamberlain wants there to be no implication of hostility towards Germany in the speeches and preferably no reference to Germany; Rutherford has also wished to keep the meeting apolitical. The four societies combining in the appeal do not intend the assistance to be solely for refugees from one country as is the case with other societies. No dinner...

Scope and Contents
Rutherford encloses an amended report (in response to the previous letter), which he has signed. Adams's report excellent andt explains the alterations he has made. One part he has deleted and substituted with a general phrase due to the undesirability of special reference to institutions or the nature of the work; Rutherford wants to base the appeal on broad grounds of academic liberty. Regretfully he feels that the history of the Hugenot refugees is an unhappy parallel. Other changes...
