in the drafts of his autobiography, one of which, written in 1975 under the rubric
‘Collection of junk' and now included in A.1104, runs:

| kept no diaries except on special occasions, such as during the
war years and during some of my travels."
Furthermore, the international acclaim which greeted the publication of the
ornithine cycle work in 1932 had made him aware of the value ofhis research. Thus
when he left Germany he was able to bring to England 'sixteen wooden boxes and
several suitcases’ of apparatus and also his notebooks and personal documents; and
when he assembled the 'scrap books' referred to above, he added notes and comments
linking the selected material to the events of his own life.
Section A (Biographical and autobiographical) is rich in material of this kind.
It contains several 'scrap books', a very substantial number of engagement books,
diaries and 'jotters' and full documentation of the long gestation of the eventual auto-

his successive moves to Warburg's laboratory, to Cambridge, Sheffield and Oxford
are represented together with many other offers or applications for appointments.
Of the many honours he received, pride of place goes to the Nobel Prize and his
own careful recording of the event, and the concomitant ceremonies and correspondence.
In addition to Krebs's ownlife, there is extensive correspondence and papers from the
1930s and later relating to his family and friends and reflecting on the suffering of
the Jews in Germany, their enforced emigration to Britain, Palestine and America,
renewal of contacts after the Second World War and claims of restitution from the
German state.

scantily) Krebs's ideas on carbon dioxide fixation.
Section C (Oxford) contains some not dissimilar material on the running (and
in this case the major extension) of a university departmentand its sub -departments,
Krebs's Medical Research Council Unit during and after his tenure of the Whitley
Chair, and the funding of his research, including support from the Rockefeller Foundation.

topics dealt with in the Section are history and philosophy of science (including
considerable material on Otto Warburg), sociology of research (policy-making, funding,
team-work and leadership, motivation and recognition), sociobiology and criminality,
and the scientist's duty to bring his gifts to bear on social problems.

and confirms the attention paid by Krebs in many of his writings to the concept of
'filiation' of 'scientific genealogy' in fostering scientific excellence, and his persuasion
that his own Unit had been a step in such filiation.
The value placed on Krebs's judgment is shown by the very large number of

for such material has been compiled and appears on pp. 671-72.
CONSPECTUS
This aims to relate Krebs's publications as defined above to their principal
sources in the manuscripts. Only the more extended references, to research, publica-
tions and reception of the work, ensuing correspondence and the like, are given.
Passing allusions in correspondence or requests for reprints are omitted.

SCRAPBOOKS
This general description conveniently brings together material of biographical or
general interest assembled by Krebs and either pasted onto loose leaves and kept in binders
or specially bound volumes, or pasted straight into commercially available scrapbooks.
A.27-A.31 are four large blue binders containing loose leaves assembled by Krebs
(some already detached) on which he hadpasted original documents and a few photocopies,

wise given only exceptionally, since they can be linked relatively easily from the dates.
In many cases, the jotters fill out the information or attest to shorter journeys not docu-

on evolution in preparation for the Dunham Lectures.
The presentation is chronological as far as this is ascertainable; undated

CAREER, HONOURS AND AWARDS
This is a major sequence of documentation on all aspects of Krebs's life, in chrono-
logical order.
Of especial interest and importance for the history of Krebs's career are the docu-
ments from his student days in Germany (A.400 - A.407), his time in the laboratory of
Otto Warburg (A.408 - A.410) and as an assistant in the Department of Medicine at Freiburg
(A.411 - A.419) and re his enforced emigration to England where he found refuge first at
The documents relating to a
Cambridge and then at Sheffield (A.420 - A.424, A.436).
possible move to Palestine in the mid 1930s (A.425 - A.435) provide insights into Krebs's
thinking on this subject not reflected in his autobiography.
In the postwar period the material re renewing contacts with Germany (A.449 -
A.468), the offer of a Professorship at Harvard (A.470 - A.476) and the attempts of the
Agricultural and Medical Research Councils to find, at Babraham and Carshalton respectively,
larger accommodation for Krebs and his research team than was available at Sheffield (A.477 -
A.481) are of particular interest.
The documentation of Krebs's career in this subsection should be consulted in con-
junction with the scrapbooks, especially A.27, A.28.
Material respecting Krebs's numerous honours and awards bulks very large in this
subsection but there are additional honours recorded with the visits in Section F and the
certificates themselves are usually to be found in the scrapbooks especially A.29, A.30.
The very substantial material relating to the award of the Nobel Prize in 1953 should be
consulted in conjunction with the scrapbook at A.31.
The very numerousletters of congratulation received by Krebs on a great variety
of occasions, the birthday greetings especially for his 70th and 80th birthdays and the letters
of condolence sent to Lady Krebs often contain interesting reminiscences and tributes of
both a personal and scientific nature.

objections of other continental biochemists, German scientists would

Krebs's thinking on the writing of autobiographies in general and his own in particular
can be gleaned from the Preface as published and the various drafts for the preface which
he essayed over the years, the earliest being dated in January 1968 (A.1104-A.1106).
It appears that it was the invitation in 1960 from the Biochemical Society to deliver the
Annual Lecture in memory of Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins which intiated the auto-

was very well received by his audience and the readers of the published version, who
encouraged him to write more extensively about his experiences. See H.150 for draft
of the lecture.
A further spur to Krebs's thinking in this direction was a request from the Royal
Society (made to every Fellow) to supply biographical material for later use by his
memorialist, and he appears to have been assembling material and drafting autobiographical

Colleagues who were shown Krebs's English drafts encouraged him to write at greater
length about his life but Krebs's response was to put togetherfor publication a collection
of documents from his files - 'those that had been important in influencing the course of
my professional life and those that reflected more personal aspects, such asletters,
announcements, and published articles' (Rem. & Refl., v).

undertook to write a full-scale autobiography.
The surviving material is very extensive, and the succession of heavily revised
drafts, some dated as late as 1980, suggest that Krebs did not find the task an easy one.

DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE AT OXFORD
During Krebs's tenure of the Whitley Professorship, he worked for a strengthening
of the sciences at Oxford and his interest and involvement in this, especially in respect
of the biological sciences, is attested by the very substantial body of correspondence
and papers presented here.
Sciences Sub-Committee on the Development of Biology he took part in discussions on
the establishment of new departments (C.183-C.189) and when the new quinquennial
grant proved inadequate for the developments envisaged, played a leading role in
informal discussions within the university on alternative sources of finance (C.190-

culties faced by the new Linacre Professor of Zoology, J.W.S. Pringle, in respect of
the provision of adequate accommodation for him by the university (C.205-C.211).
Perhaps the development to which Krebs attached the most significance, however,
was the establishment of molecular biophysics at Oxford (C.212-C.236) not only because
of the inherent importance of the subject but also because he believed that the diffi-
culties which had to be overcome before the successful establishment of the Laboratory
of Molecular Biophysics in 1967 were characteristic of most major innovations in the

In April 1958 a memorandum on Oxford's needs in science was
sent by Krebs to the Vice-Chancellor for consideration by Council.
Apparently there was no action at the time because of the appeal
for St. Catherine's College, though Krebs made an informal
approach for financial support for Oxford science to British
Petroleum, which cameto nothing.
In 1960 Krebs approached the Wellcome Foundation re funding
for the type of development envisaged in the memorandum on

UNIVERSITY REFORM
Oxford
195
Although Krebs begins the chapter of his autobiography on Oxford by praising
the university as 'in many ways a splendid place for academics, one of the finest in
the world' (Rem. & Refl., p.193), he was also very conscious ofits shortcomings and
his involvement in attempts to rectify these is evidenced by the substantial body of
surviving material presented here.
It is divided into.a chronological sequence of general papers and correspondence
on various aspects of Oxford reform and further sequences of papers on particular areas
for reform such as university salaries and schedule A professors and on specific committees
or commissions of inquiry.

Salaries, 1959-61
Oxford

Krebs identifies in his autobiography (Rem. & Refl., pp. 196-201) a numberof
problems relating to salary and income structure within the university, especially:
(1)
the existence in the science departments of two classes of lecturer, those
who enjoyed, in addition to their full-time university lecturership, a tutorial College
Fellowship which brought considerable benefits in terms of income, status and amenities,
and those who were without the all-important college attachment.
(2)
the rigid age-tie of the salary scale and the absence of the grade of Senior
Lecturer which made it impossible, Krebs argued, to recognise special merit by more
rapid promotion, or promotion to a higher grade.
Krebs first raised the question of abolishing the age-scale in October 1959 but
although he had the support of the Faculty Board of Biological Sciences concerned
about the effect of the salary-income structure on the recruitment and retention of good
Hopes for movementin the direction
staff, the General Board decided against action.
Krebs wished the university to go came in May 1960 with a government decision to make
funds available through the University Grants Committee to universities which were
having difficulty in attracting or retaining academic staff of requisite quality. Oxford
was offered £14,500, 'to recoup ... expenditure incurred in paying salaries above the
normal in order to recruit or retain staff’.
While the university authorities considered the offer, a committee of Heads of
Science Departments, on which Krebs played the leading role, collected detailed
information on the difficulties in staffing certain departments - information which
formed the basis of a memorandum submitted to the General Board on 21 October 1960.
The General Board recommendedthe rejection of the offer of money.
challenged this recommendation in an article for the Oxford Magazine published 1 June
1961 and he was supported in this public campaign by an article in the following week's
edition in which an anonymous demonstrator described how those without college affiliations
were treated as ‘useful second-class citizens' - Krebs had a hand in drafting this second

article.
Despite these efforts Congregation voted on 13 June to turn downthe offer
of the University Grants Committee.

Krebs was reluctant to give up the fight over the university salary-income
structure and published a further article in the Oxford Magazine in October 1961
in which he set out the inequalities between the incomes of Fellows and Non-Fellows.
Although the article did not give rise to any action, the matters which concerned
Krebs were considered by the Robbins Committee on Higher Education and the Franks
Commission of Inquiry (qqv.).
Krebs retained his interest in these questions over
an extended period.
The papers, which include correspondence with the university authorities and
academic colleagues, drafts of memoranda for the General Board, drafts of Krebs's
speeches at the Hebdomadal Council and at Congregation, etc., are presented ina

Franks Commission of Inquiry, 1964-68
In February 1964 the Hebdomadal Council appointed a committee chaired by the
Provost of Worcester College (Lord Franks) to consider the recommendations and criticisms
in the Robbins Report on Higher Education which particularly affected Oxford.
The
committee's terms of reference were wide-ranging, extending 'not only to the organisa-
tion and activity of the University but also to the teaching arrangements of the Colleges’
(Report of Commission of Inquiry, |, p.17).
The committee issued general and specific
invitations to persons and organisations to submit written evidence which might help them
in dealing with any of their terms of reference and sent out questionnaires on aspects of
academic policy and university organisation.
It was made clear that all written evidence
apart from replies to questionnaires addressed to individuals would be made available to
the public (Report, |, p.13).
Krebs was involved as a member of an ad hoc sub-committee in preparing the Heads
of Science Departments' response to the Commission's July questionnaire on teaching and
research (C.298, C.299).
He also prepared in October his own very extensive memorandum
of written evidence on the organisation of science at Oxford (C.302-C.307). He was not
able to submit this memorandum, however, because he was unwilling to have it made
Instead, in November, he submitted a short memorandum which sought unsuc-
public.
cessfully to change the Commission's policy on the question of confidentiality (C.308).
It was not until the end of January 1965 that Krebs submitted a major memorandum to
the Commission (C.309) - a memorandum substantially different in character from that
prepared in October 1964.
In 1966 the Commission issued a report of its findings with a large numberof
recommendations.
In his autobiography Krebs expressed his disappointment that so very
few had actually been implemented by the university Rem. & Refl., pp.202-3).

Research
As with the various engagement and personal diaries and jotters in Section A,
so here the sub-divisions above correspond more to convenience and/or chronology than to
any essential difference of content.
The most straightforward category is the sequence of Laboratory Notebooks
(D.1-D.45).
These are hardbacked notebooks of a traditional kind in which Krebs
and his collaborators recorded data and experimental results.
Even here, there are
problems of dating, and complications arising from Krebs's habit of intercalating loose
pages of notes, correspondence and other more or less related material (see the intro-
ductory note to D.1-D.45), a practice which threatened to reduce the original note-
book to an over-strained outer shell.
Later, and certainly after his move to Oxford, Krebs began to keep his manuscript
notes on loose pages or on dictated cassettes which were intended to be - and often were -
typed up on standard octavo paper, dated, and kept with related correspondence, biblio-
graphical and printed matter, records of discussions and information received, data and
results, drafts, and all other miscellaneous material accumulated for research in progress.
These are the basis of all the other categories in Section D, and, mutatis mutandis,
Section E.
The Indexed Notes and Memoranda (D.46-D.100) were received in ring-back
or clamped folders and binders, made up to incorporate research material, by Krebs
or under his direction.
It is possible that the task of making up the folders was often
overtaken by pressure of active research, or that they were cannibalised and broken up
to allow Krebs to remove material for use in research, writings or lectures.
Ar all
events, some incomplete bundles, part-indexed or with items missing, were received
in plastic envelopes (see the introductory note to D.46-D.100).
The material designated as Research Projects (D.101-D.514) was received in
boxes of various sizes and format whose only common denominator wasthat they were
too small for the job.
Some of the boxes, and of the folders within them, had des-
criptive titles by Krebs, and these have been retained and quoted in inverted commas
in the relative entries, though their overflowing contents have often been redistributed

in smaller units for ease of handling and reference.
There is a significant difference
here from the 'Indexed Notes and Memoranda’ in the inclusion of a higher proportion
of laboratory results and data, instructions for experiments and discussions with
collaborators such as L.V. Eggleston, R. Hems, M. Stubbs and manyvisiting scientists,
and extensive drafts for lectures and publications.
The study of the latter, incident-
ally, makes clear the way the research notes were used as quarries for published work,
being discussed, re-drafted, superseded and eventually incorporated over a considerable
timespan.
There is also a much larger component of background material, some anno-
tated by Krebs.
The presentation adopted is chronological from the first date of the
records found under the relevant topic heading (see the introductory note).
The Miscellaneous Notes (D.515-D.548), though no different in essence from
the ‘Indexed Notes', were either received in very crammed folders simply inscribed
'Memos', or found scattered elsewhere in the collection.
Some quite clearly refer
to
specific research topics (mitochondria, isolated liver cells, etc.) while others
are more general and less easy toassign.
Some are undated and someareillegible.
In many cases, it would seem largely a matter of chance that they had remained un-
distributed among the indexed folders or the research boxes.

Research

These are all hardbacked notebooks presented in a chronological sequence,
1926 - 48, 1962 - 64, 1970-71.
They cover Krebs's research at Berlin, Altona and
Freiburg (in a set of standard format D.1 - D.10 (part)), Cambridge (D.10 (part) -
D.13), Sheffield (D.14 - D.38) and Oxford (D.39 - D.45; a few books only, as Krebs
had then adopted a different method of note-taking). A few books are by collaborators
or assistants.
With these few exceptions, all the books, in German and English, are in
Krebs's hand, often with re-workings and corrections, and many with indexes at front,
rear or both.
Several have letters or information pasted in and most have loose pages
of notes, diagrams, correspondence, etc. intercalated at various points; the more sig-
nificant of these items have been removedfor safety to separate folders adjoining the
original book.
The pages of most are numbered and this, with Krebs's indexes,
simplifies the location of particular experiments or results.
The books are thus a rich
source for the progress of Krebs's research, though it should also be stressed that the
diaries and 'jotters' in Section A were very frequently used by Krebs, especially in later
life, to record his thoughts on technical as well as general and personal matters.
Several of the books were received with numbered labels stuck on to the
front cover, it is not known when or by whom.
These labels, sometimes incorrect and
in any case not extending to the full range of the material, have been ignored in the
chronological presentation here adopted.
Krebs's own contemporary numbered sequence
for his Sheffield notebooks (Books 2 - 7 only) has, however, been preserved at D.14 -
D.21.
Books D.1 - D.12 are all in German.

INDEXED NOTES AND MEMORANDA
This designation has been adopted to cover heterogeneous material, mostly
received in various folders and binders but some in plastic envelopes (D.94 - D.96)
or as loose papers (D.59, D.84, D.89), the majority bearing a manuscript or typescript
list of numbered items included therein.
These items may comprise ms. notes or typed-
up narratives by Krebs on articles read, experiments performed by him, by colleagues
“in his research teams or notified to him by others; ideas for research projects, lectures
or publications; correspondence enclosing or accompanying information, specimens,
preparations or results; reprints or press-cuttings of matters of immediate relevance;
summaries of discussions with colleagues in the laboratory, at conferences or on visits.
Almost all the material is dated, though the contents of any folder may extend over
several years and is not presented in chronological order.
Some of the folders have
on the spine or cover a note of the main topic, but this is not always the case, nor
do the items necessarily conform to the title.
It is clear however that the topics
kept separately in these folders by Krebs are closely related to or identical with the
‘Research Topics' at D.101 et seq., and should be regarded as complementary to them.
It has not been considered advisable to retain the material within Krebs's
original folders and binders, which were fitted with various types of metal clamp
fasteners liable to rust and in any case under strain with the quantity of papers crammed
inside.
The material is now presented in sequences of one or more folders following
Krebs's order and preserving his index and title where these exist.
In addition, the
summary indications of the original lists have been expanded where appropriate to give
a little more detail of the contents. The correspondents are indexed where possible.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
This covers the bulk of Krebs's research activity 1951 - 81.
It is presented
as a chronological sequence of topics, each dated from the first surviving notes or
records. Krebs's own designations, where they existed on the original folders and
boxes, have been retained. Un-named material has been supplied with an appropriate
descriptive title on advice from Krebs's colleagues.
Some of the topics are very substantial, extending over a long time-span and
covering research ideas, laboratory work by Krebs and others, multiple drafts for
lectures and publications, discussions with colleagues, scientific and editorial corres-
pondence, background and bibliographical material.
Others are brief, perhaps just
a note for possible future research or a collection of annotated offprints on a topic to
be explored later.
Generally speaking, however, this can be said to form the basic
material for Krebs's research, lectures and publications.
Efforts have therefore been
made to link the work with the published papers, references being given in the form
(Bibliog....) and also appearing in the Conspectus.
Correspondents are indexed
and colleagues identified where possible.

1951-54, 1961
Krebs assembled ideas and references on the subject during
1951-52. He gave lectures and may have contemplated a more
extended work (see D.104). His main published contribution
(Bibliog. 168) was part of the Herter lectures given at Johns
Hopkins University; he also gave a joint talk on ‘Frontiers in
Biochemistry’ with F. Lipmann at a 'Smoker' during a meeting
of the American Society of Chemists at Atlantic City during his
extended visit to America in 1954.

INBORN ERRORS OF METABOLISM / HY PERAMMONAEMIA /
ORNITHINE TRANSCARBAMY LASE DEFICIENCY
1969-75.
Krebs lectured regularly on disorders or special aspects of metabolism
to students in the Oxford Medical School. One of these lectures,
on Sir Archibald Garrod, the history of the Whitley Professorship
of Biochemistry, and the formation of the concept of inborn errors
of metabolism, was published in 1970 (Bibliog. 291). Notes and
drafts for these lectures are at D.275-D.279.
In 1970 a case was notified to Krebs of the specific metabolic disorders
of hyperammonaemia and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.
He studied the case in collaboration with medical colleagues on the
staff of the United Oxford Hospitals (as they were then known) and
prepared a paper for publication in Archives of Disease in Childhood.
This material is at D.286.
The paper was not published.

EVOLUTION OF METABOLIC PATHWAYS
1979-81
The term 'evolution' is used ambiguously - as it was by Krebs - to cover the
history or sequential tracing of metabolic pathways and more philosophical concepts
of purpose and necessity; in this latter respect it forms a link with Krebs's ideas on
'Teleology' almost thirty years previously (D.101-D.111).
The immediate trigger for the work was an invitation in 1979 to give the
Dunham Lectures at Harvard in April 1981.
Krebs's original intention was to lecture
on juvenile delinquency, but he was persuaded to choose a topic more closely related
to his life's work in biochemistry. He turned his mind immediately to the ideas and
material to be included (R. Hems, personal communication 1984) and envisaged the
lectures as a summaiion of the thinking on metabolic processes which he had expressed
in more piecemeal fashion in previous research projects and publications.
His third
lecture enabled him to include some discussion of social and moral evolution, or order
in society, which had become of increasing concern to him.
During the lengthy gestation of the Dunham Lectures, Krebs took the opportu-
nity to give several lectures, and to publish several papers on the subject.
Among
these was the collaborative article with J.E. Baldwin in Na‘ure (Bibliog. 385);
Baldwin had suggested to Krebs in March 1980 an important reason why direct oxidation
of acetate could not provide an alternative to the citric acid cycle, and Krebs ack-
nowledged his help in other papers, as well as referring to it constantly in his notes,
drafts and lectures.
The Dunham Lectures themselves were not published, as Krebs
died before he could complete the manuscript
(see especially D.502-D.505).
The surviving material is very extensive and indicates the importance Krebs
placed on the topic and his wish to explore it adequately. Many of the drafts overlap,
were cannibalised for later work or extended to incorporate new ideas resulting from
discussions, correspondence or reading.
The allocation of material is therefore hazard-
ous.
It is presented here as follows:

Although Krebs continued his research on metabolism to the end of his life, various factors
encouraged his thinking on more general topics associated with his own life and work.
Among these were his early acquaintance with leading scientists of widely-differing person-
ality such as Otto Warburg and Gowland Hopkins; his direct experience of the organisa-
tion of science and working methods in German andBritish laboratories; his work, in
varying conditions, as assistant and later director of similar institutions; the circumstances
of exile from, and return to, Germany; the progress of his own outstanding research
culminating in the award of the Nobel Prize and its concomitant honours and obligations
and, increasingly in his later years, concern about social problems such as crime and juvenile
delinquency which he felt to have defeated non-scientific specialists who did not understand
the connection between theills of society and biological 'facts oflife’.
Krebs devoted much time to writing and lecturing on these science-related interests
and there survives a vast accumulation of material which has been divided into subsections

Biographical writings
Krebs's interest in scientific biography related to his concern for the attainment
of excellence in science and his belief in the importance offirst-rate teachers in setting
high standards for subsequent generations of research scientists.
in his writings on Otto Warburg whom he acknowledged in his autobiography as 'an outstanding
teacher for four years at a critical stage of my development’ (Rem. & Refl., p. 175).

aspects of research which might properly be considered sociological to include scientific
policy-making, administration and finance, scientific communication and the recognition
of merit, team work in research and the importance of leadership, the 'Ortega Hypothesis’
(the view that real progress in science is brought about by a very small proportion of the
large scientific community), the quality and relevance ofscientific research, professional
obsolescence and sources of motivation.
See especially E.256.
The material includes an extended sequence of notes anddrafts, as well as the
occasional lectures and articles which Krebs prepared on these themes, including his famous
article on the making of a scientist (E.224-E.243), and a number of lectures and articles,

Proposed paper defining the conditions necessary for producing scientific
excellence.
The project arose from discussions with American scientists about the
conditions which prevailed at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute during a
period when five Nobel prizewinners, including Krebs, were trained.
Krebs thought that a consideration of this question 'would require
approximately 6-12 months of accumulating pertinent documents and
writing a thoughtful piece on the subject’ and a successful application
was made on Krebs's behalf to the Mobil Oil Corporation for the
financing of typing and editorial assistance for one year.

paid insufficient attention to biological and medical aspects of human nature.
frequently expressed his scepticism about sociological subjects, stating quite bluntly that
the ailments of society were too difficult for sociologists who were ‘appallingly ignorant’
of the biology of man and lacked training in scientific method (E.322, E.324).

problems (E.411).
By contrast Krebs took very seriously the scientist's broader responsibilities to
society, whichhe interpreted as meaning that the scientist must bring his scientific know-
ledge to bear on social problems.
He believed that scientists, especially senior ones,
could contribute a great deal towards the solution of all the great problems of the day,
including poverty, unemployment, pollution, and the wasteful exploitation of resources.
In respect of his own particular interests, scientists could do much for better social relations
'by helping people towards a normal healthy development of body and mind, and by con-
tributing their scientific views on education and the treatment of offenders’ (E.411).
Krebs noted that 'many of us scientists can at some stage of their career help society, not
merely by doing our job properly - the first step in social responsibility - but also by taking
part in public affairs as scientifically trained persons'.

In fulfilment of his general viewson the social responsibility of the scientist to society
and his particular interests in criminality and juvenile delinquency, Krebs lectured and pub-
lished very widely 'on the biological and medical aspects of asocial conduct, on ... root
causes of modern juvenile delinquency and on what kinds of preventive action might be
taken' (Rem. & Refl., p.228).

reflected by contacts with the Cabinet Office's Central Policy Review Staff (E.329, E.330,
E.459-E.467).
In addition to the many lectures Krebs delivered on juvenile delinquency, he also
sought to lecture on this topic but was dissuaded from doing so during the symposium held
in his honour at Dallas in 1980 and at Harvard (The Dunham Lectures) in 1981. In 1980
Krebs was one of a number of Nobel prizewinners invited to meet Pope John Paul II, and
although he does not appear to have talked about juvenile delinquency on that occasion
he did suggest it as a suitable topic for a subsequent meeting (E.438-E.441).

development'.
Krebs suggested a contribution on juvenile delinquency but appears
to have talked more generally on the 'highly creative and ethical
activity’ of scientists 'in their efforts to understand the natural world,
including ourselves'. He later suggested as subject-matter for a
further meeting 'the widespread gross deterioration in the standards of
personal responsibility towards society which showed itself ...
the ever-increasing frequency of juvenile delinquency’.

INTRODUCTION TO SECTION F
This very substantial section deals with visits, lecture-tours, scientific congresses
and symposia for a period of fifty years from 1933.
many invitations to attend, present papers, chair sessions, provide introductory or concluding
remarks, or to participate in the organisation of conferences as a committee or panel member
Krebs was in great demand and received
or as an editor of the published proceedings.
his career he placed great value on the contacts and exchanges with colleagues which
As an active research scientist throughout
symposia orvisits to research institutions or laboratories offered; he was also generous
with his time in respect of public lectures on more general scientific or science-related
topics.
The material is consequently heterogeneous, and may vary from a single letter of
invitation to a full account including preliminary arrangements, invitations sent out to
speakers, drafts for speeches or major papers by Krebs, letters of thanks or congratulation
or the like, extending over several years.
The presentation is chronological as far as
The many invitations declined by Krebs (with the exception of those associated

Visit to USA, March-May.
Krebs was invited to deliver a lecture before the Harvey Society of
New York.
The question of travelling expenses led to an offer of a
Rockefeller Foundation Special Fellowship which not only covered the
cost of the trip to New York but also enabled Krebs to extendhis stay
to two monthsandvisit research centres across America.
Krebs arrived in New York on 7 March and, in addition to the Harvey
Lecture on the 17th, fulfilled a number of engagements in New York,
New Haven and Philadelphia before crossing the continent to California.
Krebs spent two weeks visiting research centres at UCLA, Berkeley and
Stanford before undertaking an extensive tour of the Middle West.
A brief visit to Boston preceded his return to New York in early May.
The Harvey Lecture was published in 1950 (Bibliog. 133).

Symposium on ‘Regulation of Liver Enzyme Activity and Synthesis',

Krebs lectured at the symposium on renal gluconeogenesis (Bibliog. 219).
This symposium was the first of a series of annual international conferences
on advances in enzyme regulation organised at Indianapolis by
G. Weber.
Krebs attended these conferences, with one exception,
until 1977.
In 1980 the University of Indiana awarded Krebs an honorary
degree noting his services to the University thus:
Sir Hans Krebs, since he wasfirst appointed a Distinguished
Visiting Professor at Indiana University in 1963, has always
proved a consistently strong friend and supporter of the Uni-
versity.
His association with Indiana University is special
since this is the only university at which Sir Hans has accepted
an appointment as a regular Visiting Professor. Over the decade
and a half of association with Indiana University, Sir Hans has
made invaluable contributions to the School of Medicine.
Worthy of special mention are the annual international symposia
on the regulation o& enzyme activity and synthesis in normal and
neoplastic tissues in which Sir Hans has participated. He has
also been instrumental in helping establish the Indiana University
Laboratory for experimental oncology.
In recognition ofhis
services to Indiana University, Sir Hans was made a Sagamore
of the Wabash.
The importance of these conferences, and of the subsequent publication
of Krebs's contributions in Advances in Enzyme Regulation, is referred
to by H.L. Kornberg and D.H. Williamson in their Memoir (Biographical
Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 30, 1984, p.377).
During this American visit Krebs also lectured to Indiana University
medical faculty and visited the Universities of Pittsburg and Pennsylvania
where he also lectured on gluconeogenesis.

SOCIETIES AND ORGANISATIONS G.1 - G.243
The material is presented in an alphabetical sequence and covers both British
and overseas organisations.
While some entries are relatively trivial and deal with membership, inv.itations
to meetings and the like, others are substantial folders covering a lengthy time-span
and matters of consequence such as research policy and the refereeing of grant applica-
tions.
Of particular importance in these respects is the material re the Agricultural
Research Council, the Biochemical Society, especially Krebs's chairmanship of the
Society's Sub-committee on the Report of the Working Group on Molecular Biology,
and the Science Research Council.
Although slight in quantity there is also interesting
material re refugee scientists.

considerable unease amongst biochemists; for example, the concernlest the ‘necessary
vagueness! involved in the Working Group's decision to ‘treat the name Molecular Biology
in its widest sense' might 'be dangerous for biochemistry in the hands of a non-scient ist
who might have the responsibility of acting on recommendations in the Report’.
it was hoped 'that the Biochemical Society might take some action to safeguard the identity
of the subject of biochemistry as a componentof the complex of biological sciences’.
Accordingly

At a Committee meeting of the Biochemical Society, 26 September 1968, a decision
was taken to set up a Sub-committee under the chairmanship of Krebs to look into the
problem raised by the report and the status and function of biochemistry in the United

SERVICE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF INBORN
ERRORS
1975-77
Krebs was concerned with the advisability of organising on a national

pondence with interested scientists led to an informal meeting at the
Royal Society, 21 November 1975, which decided on an approach to

H.1 -H.97 is a sequence presented in chronological order so far as this is ascertain-
able.
The material may include manuscript drafts, often very heavily corrected, references,
diagrams and background material, correspondence with colleagues, collaborators and
editors, and sometimes a copy of the published text.
Some of the early work emanating
from the period in Warburg's laboratoryis difficult to date or attribute; tentative dates
and descriptions only have been assigned.
The material includes book reviews; of interest are H.15, H.16, which show the
very extensive stint of reviewing undertaken by Krebs for German journals during the 1930s,
perhaps to supplement his earnings in the first years in Cambridge.
Although Krebs never
published a mongraph on biochemistry, it is interesting to note that he was asked to do so
very shortly after he settled in Britain (H.390), and he appears to have considered the
idea at various times subsequently (see H.23, H.322, H.325).
Attention is drawn to H.9, which may be an unpublished paper by Warburg.
H.98 - H.266, a chromological sequence of drafts or texts for lectures, is also
heterogeneous and ranges from a straightforward typed -up text to a series of revised drafts,
accompanying correspondence and background material.
Some of the lectures formed the
basis of, or were a simplified version, of published papers, and bear the relevant Bibliography
number.
Ofspecial interest are H.98 - H.100, lectures given 1936-37, which provide
insights into Krebs's thinking immediately before the crucial paper on the citric acid
cycle published in Enzymologia (Bibliog. 62).
Undated lectures are at H.267 - H.271.
H.A. Krebs
CSAC 113/4/86
Publications, lectures, broadcasts
46]
Although Krebs gave relatively few broadcasts, the surviving documentation at
H.272 - H.284 does not represent the full total.
Section L preserves some additional
tape or cassette recordings of broadcasts.
H.285 - H.426 present, in alphabetical order, correspondence with editors,
publishing houses and scientific colleagues.
The material, which varies in extent,
includes requests to Krebs to write articles or books, to comment on works submitted by
others for publication, to serve on advisory boards or editorial panels, etc.; a little
scientific correspondence is sometimes incorporated.
Two sequences documenting long -
term editorial commitments are of particular interest; they are H.307 - H.320
(Biochimica et Biophysica Acta) and H.342 - H.358 (FEBS Letters).
The material is
dated and anindication is given of any information of special biographical or scientific
interest .
H.427 - H.446 is a chronological sequence of correspondence concerning lectures,
varying from a simple invitation to detailed arrangements for travel and payment, letters
of thanks, etc.
Sometimes this correspondence is the only evidence that a lecture was
given.
Several of the folders 1967-73 contain correspondence and information about
the regular lectures Krebs gave as Visiting Professor during that period at the Royal Free
Hospital School of Medicine, University of London.

invited by Weizmann to consider working in Palestine in the mid-1930s.
He emigrated to America in 1938.
The pre-war correspondence, mainly from Nachmansohn in Paris, is all auto~
graph manuscript, in German, and by no meansall the letters are dated.

and 1981.
the specific purpose of a book that Holmes intended to write concerning
the early scientific career of Krebs.
on the period 1900 to 1940, although there are some scattered discussions
of later events.
The discussions therefore center
Although the transcripts have been corrected by Holmesafter they
were typed by a secretary, there remain a substantial numberof errors,
especially with respect to proper names. Users of the tapes should there-
fore expect to check such information against written sources.
Sir Hans Krebs requested before his death that anyone using these
tapes should take into account that his answers to the questions posed were
extemporaneous, and that he did not subsequently have the opportunity
to check the transcripts. He should therefore not be expected to be
accurate in all the technical details of the subjects he discussed. '
