GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE COULSON PAPERS
PROVENANCE
The papers were received from Mrs. Eileen Coulson (widow) who had
assembled them from CAC's Department, his study at home and othersources.
They deal primarily with CAC's own career from about 1930 to his
death in 1974, but include some earlier material relating to the Coulson family,
especially Alfred Coulson, CAC's father (earliest date 1905); there is also
reference to posthumously~published scientific papers by CAC, to obituaries
and tributes, and to a collection of his lectures scheduled for publication in
1978.
Before handing on the collection, Mrs. Coulson, assisted by Miss
R. Schwerdt (CAC's secretary), Dr. W.E. Duncanson and other advisers, had
perused the papers and placed them in numbered folders and boxes; theinitials
'RS' and 'WED' appear on manyof the folders.
sensitive was removed andtransferred by Mrs. Coulson as a separate collection
to the Bodleian Library, where it will remain under restriction until 2004.
Correspondence was segregated into separate sections (C and G, see notes on
pp.134-135, 242) according to the degree of scientific detail it contained, anda
full list of CAC's book reviews was compiled by Mrs. Coulson (Box D.9); the
entries for Boxes B.28 - B.42 are based on notes made by Dr. R.B. Mallion,
Mrs. Coulson and others.

The sections into which the material is divided are listed on p.1-2
and each section is accompanied by a note on the principal features and interest.
An account of CAC's scientific achievements, particularly in relation
to molecular structure and bonding, is given in the Memoir by S.L. Altmann
and E.J. Bowen FRS (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society,
20, 1974, 73-134) to which reference should be made and a copy of which is
included in A.14.2.
Mention is made there also of his 'many-sided' life, but
only a study of the manuscript collection is likely to convey the actual work-
load he undertook or the charge of energy and dedication which he brought to
it.
tributes, as is the concluding episode when, learning that his illness was terminal,
he signed eighty letters, many of which he typed himself, in the three days before
his death to leavehis life in order; but it is only when these letters take their
place in the folders at the end of a lifetime's correspondence and friendship, or
to close a newly-projected line of research, that their poignancyis realised.
Similarly, his 'legendary' correspondenceis referred to in several published
From his first academic appointment at Dundee in 1938, CAC attached
the greatest importance to fostering or creating research schools, and as his
international reputation grew his Summer Schools, Rencontres and other meetings
developed into increasingly major undertakings of widely-attended renown,
while he was under constant pressure to accept research students and colleagues
on sabbatical from all over the world.
His successive departments were pro-

This 'group' activity almost certainly derives from his particular pursuit
of the religious life, and can already be seen strongly at work in CAC's years
at Cambridge 1928 - 38, in which he organised meetings, Sunday schools,
summercamps, fellowship sessions and the like for friends from city, country
and university circles.
From the same years also date his pacifism (which he
put into practice in the Second World War) and his many humanitarian interests

lt might seem from the above that CAC was overly idealistic; but
Though he was besieged bycalls to lend his time, his

nameorhis support to countless causes, many seemingly worthy, he by no
means accepted them all; the many letters in which he explains his decision
to decline such appeals are carefully reasoned, kind and helpful, but illumina-
ting in their revelation of his sharp eye for ill-conceived, specious or uncandid
proposals.
Even so, he was prodigal in the causes he undertook and the energy
he expended; the unpublished talks, sermons and contributions in the collection
would, if brought together, double the official bibliography of 444 items.
Major writing or lecturing commitments were preceded by a culling of material -
quotations, press-cuttings, statistics, etc., many annotated - which hasits
own interest in providing a tour d'horizon of a topic at a particular time.
The working papers, calculations and correspondence, particularly in
Section B, help to provide a picture of the developmentof theoretical chemistry
as a subject of scientific research and as an academic discipline with which
CAC was closely involved from about 1930 until his death in 1974. CAC was
himself aware also of the importance of lecture notes and drafts as a source of
historical information on teaching methods, curriculum development and the spread
of new ideas from the frontiers of research through the various strata of the
education system; hence his preservation of his notes taken as an undergraduate
and graduate at Cambridge University (A. 19.8) and his retention and updating
of his own lectures and talks.
In many respects, the correspondence remains the feature of the most
lasting interest.
The range and number of CAC's correspondents may indeed
be guessed from a glance at the general index, but the brobdignagian size and
disparate content of his daily postbag can best be gauged from the folders of

DESCRIPTIONS
Titles or descriptions in inverted commas are those which appear on
the folders or documents, either in CAC's hand or in those of Mrs. Coulson
and her advisers who looked through the material after his death.
The documents are too numerous to be individually itemised or
calendared, but an account of the contents of each folder is given which
it is hoped will suffice to furnish adequate guidanceto its substance.

Two Sections of the collection, C and G, are devoted entirely to
correspondence. Each is further sub-divided as follows:

on the backs of incoming letters, invitations, drafts and the like. Although
many of these are of interest in themselves, it has not been possible to make a
note of such cases or to index the individuals or organisations concerned.
Note on the index of correspondents
The general index on pp. 311-364 is not exhaustive. To have included
the name of every correspondent would have produced an index of unmanageable
proportions and doubiful utility.
Correspondents on matters in the following categories have not been
included:
minor editorial and publishing arrangements;
routine departmental and university administration;
formal requests for reprints, permission to use published material;
personal letters from the general public (though see note on A.15 - A.17);
cases where only CAC's carbon copysurvives.

CONSPECTUS
Pp. 268 - 290
contain a conspectus of CAC's publications as listed
in the Royal Society Memoir and the principal items in the collection to
which they refer.
Only the more extended references (to research, publica-
tion or reception of work and ensuing correspondence) are given, minor
allusions in letters, requests for reprints, etc. being omitted.
There are
444 listed publications in the Memoir; B.42.6 and 7 refer to posthumously
published articles which take the number to 447.
Pp. 291 - 309
contain a photocopyof the Bibliography of CAC's
publications aslisted in the Biographical Memoir by S.L. Altmann and E.J.
Bowen F.R.S. to which reference has been made throughout in the form
R.S.
.
It is reproduced here by permission in order to enable users of
the Conspectus to identify the full titles of published works elsewhere referred
to only by their numbers.
Although it is hoped that the conspectus will be useful in charting
the fortunes of the listed works, it must be stressed that these represent only
a part even of CAC's written work, and virtually ignore his vast and influential
output through the spoken word in radio and television programmes, sermons,
panels, conferences, discussion groups, colloquia and meetings.
In this con-
text, attention is drawn particularly to Section D. Religious, Humanitarian
and Pacifist Writings and its Introduction on p. 175.
Several series of major invitation lectures given by CAC on scientific
and religious matters remained unpublished because of continuing pressure of
work; among these are the Firth Lecture at Nottingham (D.4.3, D.4.4), the
Sir D. Owen Evans Lectures at Aberystwyth (A.20.2, D.4.5- D.4.9) the
George B. Pegram Lectures at Brookhaven (Box B.5).
The box of book reviews (D.9) assembles 200 items of writings and
correspondenceonscientific and religious subjects not recorded in the official
bibliography.

SECTION A
BIOGRAPHICAL AND PERSONAL
20 BOXES
Although the boxes in this Section contain the major part of the
biographical material, many folders in the other Sections also include
biographical and personal information.
This arises in part from CAC's
distinctive correspondence style but principally from his deliberate mingling
of scientific, religious and personal interest throughout his career.
The
most striking of these references are indicated and cross-referenced in the
handlist.
Other biographical material, photographs and correspondence
remain in family hands.
Since the documents were received and processed piecemeal (see
under PROVENANCE in the General Introduction), accurate chronological
or subject order could not be maintained, but cross-references are given
as fully as possible.
There is an explanatory note on Boxes A.5- A.11

‘TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS'
The description 'Travel Arrangements', which was that already
on the folders, has been retained for convenience.
The boxes contain, in addition to travel schedules and arrange-
ments, many other documents relating to CAC's extensive overseas lecture tours
and attendance at international conferences.
They include personal and
scientific correspondence, notes and drafts for papers to be delivered by CAC or
colleagues, comments on the above, editorial correspondence and arrangements
for publication, and the like.
There is also extensive correspondence and
material concerning CAC's 'incidental' or 'spare-time' visits to churches, chapels,
religious groups, student societies and similar organizations during his visits
abroad, sometimes on behalf of official sponsors such as the British Council, the
Royal Society, or Oxfam, sometimes as a result of the numerous appeals he re-
ceived to visit or preach.
His reports on some ofthese visits are included, and
indicated in the list below.
The folders attest both the tightly-packed schedules CAC drew
up for these visits and the variety of his commitments, as well as the punctilious
care and humanity with which he discharged them.
Many of the folders include notes or texts for talks not published
elsewhereorlisted in the bibliography of the Memoir.
References to the latter
are given where relevant, as are cross-references to other sections of the handlist.
For similar conferences and activities in the UK, see especially

BOX A.15, BOX A.16 PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE,
CAMBRIDGE
13, and 17 folders
These boxes contain personal correspondence, mainly
with friends made in Cambridge.
The correspondents include city, local
and university people, some of short acquaintance and others who became
lifelong friends.
The subject matter is chiefly religion, pacifism, humanitar-
ianism and principles of conduct.
CAC's influence as an active moral force
in the lives of others is clearly seen, and the letters cast considerable light
on his scientific and personal development.
The names of only a few correspondents appear in the
general index, but a full list of correspondents, with dates and a brief in-
dication of subject matter, is enclosed with each box.

Correspondence with University Library, Cambridge,
re CAC's notes of lectures attended by him as an
undergraduate and graduate 1931-33, and deposited
by him in the Library 1970 and 1972.
The notes, ‘about 2 feet or a few inches more', are
of lectures by 'J.J. Thomson, Rutherford, Besicovitch,
Sir Harold Jeffreys, Eddington, $. Chandrasekhar,
R.H. Fowler, Blackett, Cockcroft and others', des-
cribed by CAC as 'the greatest collection of physicists
ever to be in the same laboratory at the same time ...
To work in the Cavendish at that time was almost
overwhelming’.
CAClater (1972) added his notes on 'the first set of
lectures ever given in this country on quantum
chemistry’ by Lennard-Jones in Cambridge in 1933.
He also gave various reminiscences of lecturers and
their methods, and an account of his own painstaking
system of note-taking and writing up of material.

SECTION B
SCIENTIFIC WORKING PAPERS, LECTURES,
PUBLICATIONS
43 BOXES
The material may be divided very roughly as follows:
Boxes B.1 - B.27:
scientific lectures, talks, addresses, broadcasts,
publications
Boxes B.28 - B.43: research notes, working papers, publications.
The content of the folders throughout this Section varies from short
manuscript notes for research projects or an informal talk to a fully-prepared
lecture or scientific paper complete with its working notes, background
or supplementary research material, drafts, scientific or editorial corres-
pondenceand a copyorreprint of the published text.
Many of the
folders bear, on the inside cover, CAC's list of the places or occasions
at which the talk was delivered.
Box B.15 is interesting in showing the way in which CAC conceived
and developed ideas for research problems for himself, his collaborators
and his teamsof research students; see the note on p. 74
about this and
similar items elsewhere in the collection.
The list below contains, as far as possible, an indication of the
extent and date of the material in each folder and cross-references to
similar or related material in other Sections. When a specific publication
is dealt with, a reference to the Royal Society Memoir is given in the form
R.S. ...
The conspectus on pp. 268-290 may be consulted for fuller refer-
ences to such listed works, but ft should be stressed that many of the lectures
and talks in this Section were not published.

IDEAS FOR RESEARCH
1955-73
One box of notes found in CAC's office at the
Theoretical Chemistry Department. Someof the notes
are unidentified and undated, but most bear headings
by CAC; many are accompanied by the relevant
offprints or articles or by correspondence (which is indexed).
In addition to notes on the literature, there are
notes of problems or ideas for future research as suggested
to CAC bycolleagues' lectures or publications, by con-
versation or by correspondence.
Someofthe notes are
very brief, but some extend to 4-5 numbered pages, per-
haps intended for an informal discussion paper.
Similar notes are also to be found in the correspondence
folders (Sections C and G) with a heading ‘Problem for ...'
when CACsuggested research topics for students. Many of
the notes are written on the back of correspondence,
examination scripts, etc.
The type of information and
the technique are similar to CAC's 'Problem Book! which
he kept during his early career (Item H.1.5.).

HUCKEL THEORY FOR ORGANIC CHEMISTS
One box of material assembled by Dr. R.B. Mallion and Dr. B.L.
O'Leary in preparing a book based on the course of lectures delivered by
CAC to Oxford undergraduates on the subject of 'HUckel theory of organic
chemistry'.
(See B.24.3 for CAC's manuscript notes and drafts of lectures
for this course.) CAC gave the course in the academic years 1967-73;
the book is based on a transcript of tape-recordings taken in Hilary Term,
1971.
Publication is by Academic Press, London 1978 and the authors
have contributed all royalties to the Coulson Memorial Fund (see A.19.7).
The box includes:
--
tape-recordings of the 8 lectures delivered by CAC
in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford,
21 January - 11 March 1971.
--
--
transcripts of these lectures, prepared by Dr. O'Leary.
one file of correspondence, 1974-78, re writing and

Contents of the correspondence
The correspondence is exchanged between CAC andscientific colleagues
in UK and abroad, his own research students, visiting scholars in Oxford or else-
where, editors and publishers, scientific and academic administrators and members
of the general public.
The matters dealt with include:
Programmes and subjects for research
Problems, working notes and reports on research in progress
Arrangements for conferences, meetings, visits
Comments and revisions on drafts of papers for publication by
CAC and coliaborators
Editorial arrangements for publications
Recommendations for awards, scholarships, academic appointments
Administrative arrangemenis for university admissions, degrees, salaries
Research grants, applications and awards.
All the folders relating to CAC's research students or to visiting scholars
from overseas also include arrangements for accommodation, finance, travel and
personal matters, and attest the pains he took to ensure the well-being of new-
comers for whom hefelt responsibility.
Religious and persona! matters are also
dealt with, in accordance with CAC's refusal to separate scientific from other
activities.
A short note has been made of material of particular interest or import-
ance, and whenthe work refers to ascertainable specific publications the relevant
numberof the Royal Society Bibliography is given, in the form R.S. ....

Presentation of the material
C.1-C.22 and G.1- G.21.
These are individual named folders as kept by
CAC for his more frequent and extensive correspondence with scientific
colleagues: see note on the content above.
Al the folders are dated,
and all correspondents appear in the general index.
C.23 - C.38.
These are CAC's 'miscellaneous files' of his shorter corres~
pondencein which more than one correspondent is included in a folder.
The content covers personal and religious as well as scientific matters,
no segregation being made: see note on p.154.
All correspondents
appear in the general index.
C.39 -C.44.
These are brief exchangesof letters, both scientific and
personal, and are not indexed: see note on pp. 173 - 174.
Many of CAC's copiesofhis letters, in all sections of the correspondence, are
written or typed by himself on the back of incoming letters, invitations, drafts,
course notes and the like.
Although many of these are of considerable interest
in themselves, it has not been possible to make a note of such cases, or to index
the individuals or organisations concerned.

Whenthe material is more extensive,
an asterisk in the list below.
CONTENT OF THE CORRESPONDENCE
The scientific correspondence is similar to that in C.1 - C.22 and Section G.
It includes requests to work in CAC's departments, requests for meetings, talks,
articles, discussions on research in progress or papers for publication, comments
The numerous exchanges
on papersor theories submitted for evaluation, etc.
with scientists working abroad show CAC's care for workers struggling to pursue
research in developing countries or in difficult surroundings.
Many ofthe letters refer to research or publications by CAC, butit has
not been practicable, in the case of these shorter exchanges, to provide refer-
ences to the Royal Society Memoir as was done with the more extensive corres-
pondence in C.1 - C.22and Section G, or to supply cross-references to con-
ferences or lectures listed in other sections of the collection.
The personal correspondence includesletters from scientists, publishers,
organisations, etc. and also many members of the general public who read CAC's
books or heard his broadcasts or sermons, and who wrote to him for personal
guidance. Many schoolmasters, parents, or young people also asked for advice
in the choice of careers and subjects of study, information aboutcolleges,
universities, curricula, etc.
CAC handled these requests with great care, and manyof his replies
on the religious life, the efficacy of prayer, and general principles of conduct
have considerable intrinsic value as well as attesting the exceptionally wide
influence CAC's work had on schools, institutions and individuals.

SECTION D
RELIGIOUS, HUMANITARIAN, PACIFIST WRITINGS
12 BOXES
This section includes approximately 500 lectures, reviews, sermons and
addresses, broadcasts and television talks and discussions, some fully prepared
for publication, others in manuscript or note form.
invitation lectures, or addresses given to formal religious gatherings, are re-
corded in the Bibliography of the Royal Society Memoir, a great many moreeither
were unpublished or appeared in small journals and newsletters with limited
Though some of the major
circulation. As one example, Box D.2 (‘Minor Works') alone contains 71 pub-
lished items, only 5 of which are listed in the Memoir.
contains 66 envelopes of sermons and addresses, many delivered on 10-15
occasions. Although none of these addresses are officially recorded, the
mui@RoOs letters from members of congregations to whom CAC preached amply
testify to the far-reaching influence of this one facet of his life.
Similarly, Box D.6
Box D.9 contains 200 published book reviews, on both scientific and
religious subjects.
Mrs. Coulson very kindly undertook the task of compiling
a list of these reviews;
it has not been practicable to itemise them in this hand-
list but the list is included in the box and will be a useful tool for scholars
working on the collection.
Manyofthe entries in this section note the existence of 'background
material' which was assembled by CAC in the course of writing his lectures and
articles. Boxes D.10 and D.11 consist entirely of this sort of material culled
from a variety of sources (newspapers, journals, books, conversations, corres-
pondence, lectures and broadcasts by others).
See D.5.7- D.5.9, D.12.3 -
D.12.6 and F.1.4. for similar material.
Although the material in this section is closely linked to Section F
(Religious, educational, humanitarian organisations), even a cursory glance
at the titles listed overleaf (e.g. 'The way to God through science’, 'The
influence of science on the Christian faith', etc.) will reveal CAC's fundamental
belief in the unity of science and religion.
Section B (Scientific working
papers and writings) should also be consulted for several items in which CAC
expands and elaborates this theme of unity.
See especially B.5.1 - B.5.4,
B.6.1 and B.27.5.

SECTION F
RELIGIOUS, EDUCATIONAL AND HUMANITARIAN
7 BOXES
ORGANISATIONS
Although CAC was known as a convinced Methodist and pacifist
throughout his life, these folders show the full range of his humanitarian
interest, expressed in religious, educational, political and social
activities.
In some of these he played a public and major role (for
example, as Chairman of OXFAM, as Vice-President of the Methodist
Conference or as a memberof the Central Committee of the World Council
of Churches), but others are less well known.
To all he broughthis dis-
tinctive power of personal involvement; manyofthe relatively routine
letters in the folders contain thoughtful material of considerable biographical
and general interest.
Most of the material in this Section consists of correspondence,
reports, committee and organisational matters relative to institutions and
to meetings, conferences and publications sponsored by them.
With the exception of Box F.7, the material is not in alphabetical
order;
for ease of reference, an alphabetical index to all the organisations
in this Section is provided overleaf, and cross-referenced to related material
in other sections of the collection are given where possible.
