Summary
Correspondence, 1973-1974, mainly regarding colloquia and 'coffee party' talks to be given by visiting scholars and research workers in the Department.
Much of the correspondence covers the last months of Coulson's life, and was continued by Miss Schwerdt after his death. It shows his determination to maintain a thriving and lively department despite his own growing incapacity, and to arrange a constant sequence of talks and visitors throughout the academic year 1974-1975.
