| Description | He expects that Jones has been called to the conference on Leakey's East Africa finds at the Royal Anthropological Institute. Boswell would like him to know that he has done his best to prevent the conference from being summoned as he can see no good purpose in it. A number of archaeologists and geologists and Leakey himself do not want to carry on the controversy. Boswell has made representations to the President of the Institute, who is sympathetic, but Council has taken the position that the reputation of British archaeology is at stake, a view from which Boswell dissents. Council has not seen fit to release Boswell from a promise to attend, made eighteen months ago. |
