Correspondence, 1955 - 1996
Scope and Contents
The members of the Crabtree Foundation met from 1954 for an annual dinner at University College London in honour of the otherwise obscure poet and scientist W.J. Crabtree (1754-1854). An oration was given on the occasion, which was privately printed for circulation among members.
Jones gave the Crabtree oration in 1957 on Crabtree and Science. He was President of the Foundation in 1958.
The material is chiefly invitations to Crabtree dinners and related correspondence and correspondence with other members of the Crabtree Foundation. At H.114 are dinner menus and at H.115-H.122 copies of some of the Crabtree orations.
