TitleCorrespondence relating to the creation of Science Fellowships in Oxford University
Date1955
DescriptionMaterial on Oxford Colleges creating more science fellowships. Simon was keen for this to occur, as he believed it could foster closer ties between academia and industry, in particular between Oxford and UKAEA Harwell.

The file is divided up between Simon's correspondence with Fellows and Heads of Oxford Colleges, encouraging them to create more science fellowships and separate correspondence on the creation of a science lectureship by Christ Church College in 1955.

Correspondents include Isaiah Berlin (on there being no scientists in All Souls College) and Prof MHL Pryce, Bristol University (on Oriel College considering a Physics Fellowship).

Also included is a cutting of Simon's letter to the 'Oxford Magazine', 'Scientists in Oxford', 1955, calling for the creation of Institutes of Technology, and highlighting the under-representaion of science fellows in Oxford colleges.
