Scope and Contents
Thanks Adams for sending the paper in the ‘Universities Review’, which Rutherford does not believe is liable to cause them trouble. He cannot be at the meeting on Tuesday [May 12] to discuss the future organisation of ‘the new body’ [the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning].

Letter to Adams, Walter 1933-1936, 1934-04-30

Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.7653/1/i/A/7
Scope and Contents

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...

Letter to 'Mr Eppstein', 1936-04-28

Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.7653/1/i/A/18a
Scope and Contents
Copy of a letter from [Rutherford] to ‘Mr Eppstein’ acknowledging receipt of his letter about the National Conference on Refugees to be held from May 20-22. Rutherford recognises the importance of these meetings but is in some difficulty in answering Eppstein [see Ms Add.7653/1/i/A/18] as he is President of the Academic Assistance Council, which is entirely non-political, and were he to preside over a meeting of a political character there would be repercussions for the AAC. He asks...
