Wager NCUACS84/5/99 GENERAL INTRODUCTION | PROVENANCE 5 The papers were received at various dates 1998-1999 and represent a consolidation of material previously diffused among several sources. Wager had been one of the three scientists chosen in 1969 for the pilot project that led to the formation in 1973 of the Contemporary Scientific Archives Centre (now the National Cataloguing Unit for the Archives of Contemporary Scientists). A selection of his papers and diaries, made and listed by Miss J.M. Pye under the direction of Professor Margaret Gowing, was deposited in the Archives of the Royal Society in 1969. A considerable amountof material was returned at that time to family hands, while much of Wager’s research notes, mapsand teaching material remained in the Oxford Department of Geology and Mineralogy (now Earth Sciences). With the approval of Mrs Wagerand herfamily, the Council of the Royal Society and the Departmental authorities, all these deposits have been assembled andintegrated into the present collection. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF LAWRENCE RICKARD WAGER Wager wasborn on 5 February 1904 in Batley, Yorkshire. He was educated at a local elementary school and then at Hebden Bridge United District Grammar School, where his father was Headmaster. Walking, exploring, climbing and early geologising occupied his boyhood, forming his interests and a lasting attachment to the Yorkshire Dales, where he later purchased a house,still in family hands. In 1916, when Wagerwastwelve, his mother died and in 1919 his father may have beenin indifferent health since he was granted a year’s leave of absence from teaching, which he spent with the two boys (Wager and his younger brother Hal) in the West Indies. Here climbing, geology and botanising continued. From 1920 to 1923 Wagerattended the sixth form of Leeds GrammarSchool,living with an aunt and uncle (Harold Wager FRS)and obtaining an Exhibition to Pembroke College Cambridge. He read the Natural Sciences Tripos, graduating with a First in Geology in 1926, and began research on Yorkshire Limestones, supported by a Goldsmiths Company Research Scholarship. Throughout his Cambridge period he was an active memberof the University Mountaineering Club (President 1925-1926), climbing in Britain and the Alps and establishing a wide reputation for steadiness and reliable eyefor terrain. His parallel skills as a geologist and climber-explorer were to characterise Wager’s career. He was appointed Lecturer in mineralogy and petrology at the University of Reading in 1929 and played his part in teaching and field excursions of the department. But he also participated in the major expeditions that resulted in important scientific discoveries and personal fame. The first of these L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 6 expeditions, to Greenland in 1930-1931, was the occasion of his recognition and pioneer survey of the igneous intrusions of the East Greenland coastal mountain area between Angmagssalik and Kangerdlugssuaq. The study of this area - reinforced by subsequent expeditions in 1932, 1934, 1935-1936 and 1953 - wasthe focusof virtually all his scientific research. The expedition to Everest in 1933 broughta different kind of celebrity. Wager and P. Wyn Harris were chosento lead the final assault on the summit on 29 May 1933; in adverse weather, they were not successful but they reached a greater height than any previous climbers until the successful ascent by Hilary and Tenzing twenty years later in 1953. During the Second World War Wager was commissioned in the Royal Air Force and servedin the Photographic Interpretation Unit until his release in 1944 to take up the Chair of Geology at the University of Durham. In 1950 he moved to Oxford where he greatly expanded the Department of Geology and Mineralogy. Wager was determined to enhancethe status of geology at Oxford and arguedfor its recognition as a school and entrance subject. He also established the Geological Age and Isotope Research Group (GAIR) for the study of geochronology and geochemistry, in which a new graduate course wasintroduced. Wagerdied very suddenly on 20 November1965atthe relatively early age of sixty-one. In 1934 Wager married PhyHis Margaret Worthington, who achieved a notable ‘first’ in accompanying him to East Greenland on the 1935-1936 expedition, which he led; she and hersister-in-law (Hal Wager’s wife Kit) becamethefirst British womento over-winterthere. Wagerwaselected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1946. He received many medals and honours: the Polar Medal 1933, the Mungo Park Medal of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society 1936, the Bigsby Medal of the Geological Society of London 1945, the Spendiarov Prize of the International Geological Congress 1948 and the Lyell Medal of the Geological Society of London 1962. Wager, a reticent man, answered to several names. His given name, Lawrence, was usedbyhis immediate family and less generally by university colleagues; more formal colleagues of an earlier generation preferred the surname Wager; in his department he was ‘Prof’ or ‘LRW’; Oxbridge and mountaineering friends of the 1920s and 1930s usethe affectionate ‘Waggers’ characteristic of the period; more confusingly, his brother-in-law E.B. Worthington bestowed on him the name‘Bill’, originally to be used on his Morris Dancing excursions, and this became his most usual namefor the rest of his life among both family and friends, although Wagerapparently regretted it. For a time, at Reading, he was nicknamed ‘George’, but this was a short-lived complication. L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 i DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material is presented as shownin the List of Contents. It covers the period 1904-1985. In addition to the description of the material given below,fuller introductory matter may be found at the beginning of mostof the sections. Section A, Biographical and personal, includes little material from Wager’s schooldays and his early notebooks of natural history and geological observations. His later appointments and applications for posts are also recorded. There is relatively little documentation for the later part of his career. Of interest are the annotated memorabilia of his clubs and societies, the careful account books from early days, and the thoughtful reflections on self-discipline and purpose, written on odd scraps of paper, which add an extra dimension to a controlled personality. Section B, Expeditions and research, is by far the most extensivein the collection and in addition to a full introduction, has frequent explanatory notes. It is presented alphabetically by territory, East Greenland being the first as well as the most important. The organisation and logistics of expeditions, especially the 1935-1936 East Greenland expedition led by Wager, are chronicled in detail, backed by diaries, reports and later correspondence. Thefield notebooks, catalogues of rock specimens, and the investigative analysis which continued, in collaboration, for almost thirty years are also recorded. Similar material, in somewhat less detail, is found for other areas, notably the plutonic rocks of Rhum and Skye,and for the Himalayan Geology accomplished on the 1933 Everest expedition. The field excursions for students at Reading, Durham and Oxford Universities are also included. Section C, University of Reading, is relatively short, coinciding as it did with Wager’s main period of exploration and later of war service. The material consists of lecture and teaching notes. Section D, University of Durham, also consists mainly of teaching material, though it also includes Wager’s notes andideain preparationfor his first professorial appointment. Section E, University of Oxford, is concerned almost entirely with the research and teaching of the Department of Geology and Mineralogy. It includes documentation of the Geological Age and Isotope Research Group (GAIR) that Wager established for the study of geochronology and geochemistry and in which a new graduate course in geochemistry wasintroduced. Section F, Research topics, is a short section since most of Wager’s research notes and data are dispersed through the collection: the petrographic descriptions and analyses are in Section B, while research undertakenfor an important paperor lecture may be included in Sections G and H. Section L.R. Wager NCUACS 84/5/99 8 F includes documentation of a wartime project on biotite and the beginnings of Wager’s productive collaboration with R.L. Mitchell on trace elements in the rocks of the Skaergaard Intrusion of East Greenland. Section G, Lectures, speeches and addresses, covers a wide timespan from talks given as a schoolboy ca 1920 to 1964. Theyinclude technical lectures given in UK and abroad onall aspects of Wager'’s scientific interests in layered intrusions, geochemistry and geochronology, and also many less formal talks to non-professional audiences interested in the expeditions to Greenland and Everest. Section H, Publications, is of interest in showing Wager’s methodsof work, constantly revising and redrafting, in his notoriously illegible pencil or ink longhand. There are drafts and correspondence relating to Layered Igneous Rocks, Wager’s major collaborative work with G.M. Brownthat he did not live to see published. Where applicable reference has been madeto the Bibliography in the Memoir of Wager by W.A. Deer (‘Lawrence Rickard Wager’, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society 13 1967), a copy of which is at A.2. However, not all Wager’s published works documented in this collection are to be found in this Bibliography and this additional material has beenlisted in a bibliographical note appendedto the introduction of the catalogue. Section J, Societies and organisations, is scanty but includes material covering Wager’s long service on the Royal Society's British National Committee for Geodesy and Geophysics Vulcanology Sub- committee. Section K, References and recommendations, covers the period 1945-1965 and relates mainly to academic work. Section L, Correspondence,is not extensive but contains some personal correspondence from family and friends including Cambridge contemporaries and acquaintances. Most of Wager’s scientific correspondence remains with the research or other matters to whichit refers. Section M, Non-textual material, is of considerable interest, containing not only photographs and slides of Wager’s expeditions but the original drawings and maps madeonhis early Greenlandvisits in 1930-1931 and 1935-1936. The Appendix lists personal and geological diaries 1925-1964, which currently remain in family hands. Thereis also an index of correspondents. L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 WORKSCITED 9 W.A.

Wager NCUACS84/5/99 20 SECTION B EXPEDITIONS AND RESEARCH B.1-B.478 This is by far the most extensive section in the collection and within it East Greenland occupies the major part. Wager’sfirst Arctic expedition, begun only a few monthsafter his 1929 appointment at the University of Reading, was as a memberof the British Arctic Air Route Expedition (BAARE), led by H.G. (‘Gino’) Watkins, in 1930-1931 (B.1-B.21). The purpose of the expedition was to reconnoitre a possible air route across the Greenland Ice Cap, requiring mapping, surveying and meteorological observations. For Wager, it was in addition the occasion of his discovery of the ‘Skaergaard Intrusion’, which he first observed from the deck of the Quest on the voyage from base camp at Angmagssalik to Kangerdlugssuaq. He immediately recognised its geological importance as a classic example of a layered intrusion, and, beginning during the expedition itself, as can be seen from his diaries and future planning notes, he madeits exploration and study the primary aim of his future research career. Further expeditions to East Greenland followed, in 1932, 1934, 1935-1936 and 1953; another had been planned for 1966-1967 in which Wagerhimself did notlive to participate. Analysis of the East Greenland rocks began in 1933. Laboratory research into age, structure and tectonics, and geochemistry, drawing onincreasingly sophisticated methods, was pursued by Wager and his assistants throughout his life, accompanied by a stream of publications and lectures. His interest in British Tertiary Igneous rocks, particularly the layered intrusions of Rhum and Skye,is documentedin frequent expeditions to Scotland, and subsequent research (B.347-B.391). Additional shorter expeditions to South Africa (B.392-B.404) and the West Indies in 1959 (B.405-B.415) provided further material. Wager’s major book Layered Igneous Rocks, written in collaboration with G.M. (Sir Malcolm) Brown, appeared posthumouslyin 1967. Wager’sparticipation in the 1933 expedition to Mount Everest, andin thefinal (unsuccessful) assault on the summit (B.253-B.307) made him a national figure, yet was in some sensea distraction from his layered intrusion research. He put the expedition to maximum geological use, however, by acquiring specimens and by studying in particular the mechanism of the rise of the Himalayan range andthe river drainage systems. The surviving material for all these expeditions may include: preliminary planning, organisation, funding, personnel, equipment and transport; diaries, field notebooks and rock catalogues; research notes and notebooks; reports; publications and lectures; correspondence both preceding and following the expedition. The proportions and extent of the material varies. Expeditions of which L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 Expeditions and research Wager wasthe leader or joint leader, notably those of 1935-1936 and 1953, carry an exceptionally full and interesting record of all aspects of the careful organisation involved. Shorter expeditions, or those where he wasnotleading or bearing primary responsibility, are proportionately less extensive. Wager’s acknowledged experience in the Arctic and elsewhere led to his being regularly consulted on proposedexpeditions by others. Material of this kind is retained at B.456-B.474. Maps, photographsand other non-textual material are in Section M. Wager’s personal diaries written on expeditions are listed in the Appendix. They currently remain in family hands.

Later that month, however, he received an invitation from H.G. (‘Gino’) Watkins to join his British Arctic Air Route Expedition as geologist (B.2). Wager consented immediately, sailing with the party in July 1930 on the Quest. He contributed to the team’s work in mapping and surveying, and also as a climber leading an attempt to climb Mont Forel, the highest peak then knownin the Arctic. His own career receivedits definitive direction though the discovery and pioneer survey of the plutonic centres of the Skaergaard Intrusion and surrounding area of the East Greenland coast. Most of his subsequent expeditions to Greenland and elsewhere, and the resulting research and publications, derive from this discovery. [ L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 30 Expeditions and research Of someinterest is a short sequence of correspondence from Watkins about a proposed expedition to the Antarctic that he hoped Wager wouldjoin (B.4). In the event, Watkins drowned during an Arctic expedition in the summerof 1932; a reference to his Antarctic proposal is quoted by Hargreavesp.38. A register of meteorological observations kept by Wager during the expedition is at Appendix App. 9.

SCORESBY SOUND COMMITTEE’S SECOND EAST GREENLAND EXPEDITION 1932 1932-1934 This was a Danish expedition organised by the Scoresby Sound Committee. The leader was Ejnar Mikkelsen, who becamea closefriend of Wager and his family, the expedition being commonly referred to as the ‘Mikki Expedition’. The expedition sailed from Copenhagen on 22 June 1932, returning in September. Wager was responsible for the geological work, at Kangerdlugssuaq and Kap Dalton, and the party also included his brother H.G. (Hal) Wager and anotherfriend, Michael Spender, as cartographer. Immediately on his return, Wager beganto plan a more extended expedition including over-wintering, to enable detailed surveying of the region to be achieved (see B.25). His nomination to the 1933 Everest team deferred the plan until the major British East Greenland Expedition of 1935-1936 (B.38- B.120).

B.38-B.120 BRITISH EAST GREENLAND EXPEDITION (BEGE) 1935-1936 1933-1963 This was the culmination of Wager’s long-matured plan for extended over- wintering expedition, which would enable scientific projects to be carried out in appropriate detail. A significant modification was the presence of women in the party, notably Phyl Wager, his newly married wife, and Kit, wife of H.G. Wager,the first British women to over-winter in Greenland. L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 36 Expeditions and research The expedition sailed on the Quest in July 1935. Its ‘summer party’ of mountaineers and climbers, which included A. Courtauld and J.L. Longland, made a successful ascent of the highest peak of the Watkins mountains. The over-wintering party of seven Europeans and fourteen Greenlanders remained after the Quest sailed home in August. Wager’s responsibility as leader and organiser, his determination to make maximum use of the opportunity for sustained scientific research, and the practical help given by his wife, have ensured an unusually full record of every aspectof the expedition. A further accountof the planning, and of the daily life of the expedition can be found in Hargreaves, pp 53-56 and Chapter 9. The surveying, meteorological and geological work achieved formed the basis of Wager’s continuing research and publications, in collaboration with W.A.

B.121-B.146 EAST GREENLAND GEOLOGICAL EXPEDITION (EGGE) 1953 1938-1953 The EGGE wasa relatively short expedition of six weeks July - September 1953, organised as a joint venture of Oxford and Manchester Universities under the leadership of Wager and W.A. Deer. The Oxford members were G.M. Brown, D.S. Weedon and C.J. Hughes; the Manchester members were G.D. Nicholls and P.E. Brown. Wager’s party of four worked on the Kangerdlussuaq alkaline complex, while Deer and his party concentrated on the Kap Edvard Holm intrusion. A return to East Greenland had, however, been in Wager’s mind virtually ever since his return from the major expedition of 1935-1936. He had hoped to organise a visit to South West Greenland (see B.121, B.122 and also correspondencewith C.E. Tilley at B.115) but various factors supervened to delay or frustrate the proposal: the outbreak of the Second World War and the decision of the Danish authorities to undertake mapping and geological research in the area themselves; Wager’s owninterest in the British Tertiary Igneous Province, and other delays in finalising the expedition. The ‘Early plans’ at B.121-B.123 help to explain this long gestation. Whenplans began to get under way, W.A. Deer acted as secretary to the expedition; neverthelessit is clear that Wager took manyof theinitiatives and kept the organisation under his eye.

The later work of the 1950s at B.196-B.224 relating mainly to geochemical analysis of Skaergaard Intrusion rocks, was done at Oxford when Wager hada larger departmentat his disposal, and includes data and results contributed by research students and by colleagues such as E.A. Vincent, G.M. Brown, W.J. Wadsworth and others. Even so, a substantial amount continues to be in Wager’s hand. The bulky folders to which Wager gave a very general title such as ‘Kanderlug. |’ usually contained smaller units of work kept separately with their own moredetailedtitles.

Ruttledge; the secretary was J.M. Scott who had been a memberwith Wagerof the 1930 BAARE expedition to Greenland. Permission for the Everest attempt was granted in August 1932; the climbers left Great Britain in January 1933, arrived in India in February and returned in September. In October 1932 Wager had been giving prime consideration to a further expedition to Greenland (see B.23, B.25) but in the same month the opportunity arose for him to be invited to join the Everest team (B.253) and work in Greenland was deferred (B.27). fave L.R. Wager NCUACS84/5/99 66 Expeditions and research The expedition brought Wager national and international renown. As a memberof oneof the assault parties, he and P.(later Sir Percy) Wyn Harris madethe first reconnaissance from Camp VI and, it had been hoped, an attempt on the summit on 30 May. They reached a point higher than had previously been achieved, finding an ice-axe from Mallory’s and Irvine’s 1924 expedition along the way, but adverse snow conditions obliged them to turn back. The second assault party of F.S. Smythe and E.E. Shipton was also unsuccessful. As a geologist, Wager’s opportunities were restricted by the requirements of the climbing expedition. Nevertheless, he secured a collection of 244 rock specimens, and wasable to make observations (later published) on theriver drainage pattern andtherise of the Himalayan range.

Little documentation survives for these early visits (B.347, B.354, B.355) but one of the group leaders at Edinburgh was E.B. (Sir Edward) Bailey, an authority on Scottish rocks with whom Wagerpublisheda collaborative paperin 1953. The leader on Arran was G.W. Tyrrell who also becamea colleague. Wager’s geological diaries of Hebridean expeditions (Appendix, App. 36- App.42) begin in April 1946, dating from his period at the University of Durham. They reflect his growing interest in the British Tertiary Igneous Province and may in part derive from the difficulty of organising further expeditions to Greenlandat that time. Publications on the geology of Rhum and Skye beganin 1946 and continued until the yearof his death. In 1948 Wagerwasoneofthe leaders of the excursion to Skye and Morar during the International Geological Congress (B.348 and passim) and the Hebridean area remained a regular destination for the University of Oxford Departmentfield excursions (B.352, B.353).

He visited Trinidad, St Vincent, St Lucia, St Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat and Antigua, in the company of G.R. Robson, a former research student at Durham, then working at the Seismic ResearchInstitute at Trinidad. Immediately on his return (letters of 10 and 11 December in B.405) Wager began to plan a programme of research. He obtained grants for research students to undertake field work, under his supervision and that of G.M. Brown, which wascontinuingat the time of his death.

His father rented a holiday house in Littondale, which became a centre for such expeditions and early geologising. In 1940 Wager bought a house of his ownin the Yorkshire Dales which remainsin family hands. Perhapsthis early connection wasa factor in his choice of the Whin Sill and Great Scar Limestone for his first research on graduating from Cambridge supported 1926-1929 by a Goldsmiths’ Company Research Scholarship. His supervisor, W.B.R. King, also had a holiday homein the Dales. Subsequently, Yorkshire, especially Teesdale, became a regular destination for Wager’s field courses for his Durham University students; he also led professional excursions in the area. The material presented under ‘Organisation and arrangements’relates to these later visits, while the field notebooks and research record earlier work. L.R.

Wager NCUACS84/5/99 SECTION C UNIVERSITY OF READING 99 C.1-C.15 This section records Wager's lectures and teaching at the University of Reading. Wagerwasappointed Lecturerin Petrology at the University of Reading in 1929, and remained such until his appointment as Professor of Geology at the University of Durham in 1943 (effective from 1944). There is very little surviving material to documentthis relatively long period. As a lecturer, Wager was not involved in Departmental administration, and this was the period of his most important expeditions in 1930-1931, 1932, 1934, 1935-1936, for which the University granted any necessary leave of absence. The outbreak of war in 1939 led to Wagers work with the Air Ministry's Photographic Interpretation Unit from May 1940 until November 1943 whenhe wasreleasedto take up the Durham appointment. There is a little material on Wager’s appointment to the University of Reading in Section A and several recordsof his field excursions with students in Section B. L.R.

Wager’s preparationfor the post, including advice taken from others, his own thoughts on aims and course structuring, and the careful training in X-ray crystallography with a view to possible future work are shownat D.1-D.7. The correspondence at D.8-D.14 is miscellaneous. It includes departmental funding, equipment, requests to work orvisit, and the University Exploration Society. There is some shorter scientific correspondencebut very little general correspondence on Durham affairs. A substantial proportion of the surviving material dates from 1949-1950,the last years of Wager’s time at Durham. Material relating to Wager’s appointment, and to various other applications for chairs during his tenure at Durham, is at A.39-A.43.

Wager NCUACS 84/5/99 SECTION E UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD 107 E.1-E.73 Wagerwas appointed to the Professorship of Geology at the University of Oxford in succession to J.A. Douglas, his election being announced on 26 April 1950. He remained there until his death in 1965. Wager’s Chair carried with it a Fellowship at University College, but no material survives on College affairs, and there are few records of his involvementin general Oxford University matters; see E.10- Ed: The material in this section therefore essentially concerns the Department of Geology and Mineralogy, its organisation and funding, research and teaching. Wager’s determination to enhance the status of geology at Oxford can be seen byhis drive to have it recognised as a school and entrance subject (E.1, E.2). Much of the petrological research was a continuation of the geochemical analysis of East Greenland and other igneous rocks (recorded in section B) now pursued with newer techniques and equipment and sometimes with outside collaboration such as that with Departments of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Establishment (UKAEA) at Harwell. A new development was geochronology and the establishment of the Geological Age and Isotope Research Group (GAIR) (E.18-E.38). The lectures and syllabuses at E.39-E.73 include relatively standard topics in university geological studies, but also the new graduate course in Geochemistry, and the various ’service’ courses for non-specialists. The careful notes taken by Wagerat lectures byvisiting scientists and short-term members of departmentalstaff (E.63-E.69) are ofinterest. Forfuller information see E. A.

The biotite material may reasonably be considered an entity, since it constitutes a research episode that did not develop. It did, however, inaugurate Wager’s important collaboration with R. L. Mitchell at the MacaulayInstitute for Soil Research at Aberdeen, beginning in 1943 and continuing for a decadeof research andpublications on trace elements in the rocks of the Skaergaard intrusion, East Greenland. The continuation of this work at Oxford University is to be found in the research folders of section B,at E.16, E.17, or in the accompanying material for Wager’s lectures and publications. Lilie.

Hecollected information and attempted to arouse wider interest in the relevance of the project in view of likely wartime shortages, particularly at the Macaulay Institute for Soil Research at Aberdeen. A meeting was held there in October 1939 and joint research programmeinitiated between Wager at the University of Reading and membersof the Institute’s staff. By May 1940, however,it seemedclear that the potash content extracted from rocks would not be economic taking into account the quantities required and the costs of crushing and extraction.

L. Mitchell of the MacaulayInstitute for Soil Research at Aberdeen, who,initially, was responsible for the trace element analysis. The work produceda series of lectures and papers during the late 1940s and a major paper which appeared in the first number of the new journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta in 1951. After Wager’s move to Oxford University, trace determination remained an important componentof the research in the Department, undertaken mainly in collaboration with E. A. Vincent, A. A.

Wager NCUACS84/5/99 125 SECTION G LECTURES, SPEECHES AND ADDRESSES G.1-G.89 This section represents Wager’s surviving lectures and papers given byinvitation from schooldays onwards. The material reflects all aspects of Wager’s career although his professional teaching lectures are in sections C, D, and E. Although Wagerdid notfind lecturing easy, nor was his speaking style always accessible, his chosen life imposed the frequent obligation to give public addresses. As a scientist, the dissemination of information and research progress by speechas well as in written papers was acknowledged by him even as a schoolboy and undergraduate, and later continuously maintained through the medium of conference and visits. The scientific lectures trace the development of his interests in structural geology,layered intrusions, geochemistry and geochronology. In Wager’s case there wasthe additional dimension of the great public interest in his achievements as mountaineer and explorer. There was always pressure to give personal accounts to non- professional audiences of the expeditions to Greenland and of the 19383 Mount Everest expedition, as well as the technical geological lectures for scientific societies. In the case of the Everest expedition, indeed, public lecturing by its members wasa recognised obligation to help the funds of the sponsoring organisations. Some of Wager’s lectures on Greenland and Everest remain with the relevant accompanying material in Section B. The material here, which is presented chronologically as far as possible, is principally drafts, chiefly in pencil or ink, more rarely in typescript. All the drafts bear numerous additions, deletions or corrections. Lists of slides, photographs or rock specimens to be used in the lecture are often included andoccasionally there is brief correspondence on arrangements. Wager’s owntitles have been reproducedin the catalogue entries. L.R.

Wager NCUACS84/5/99 SECTION H PUBLICATIONS 137 H.1-H.109 H.1-H.99 is a chronological, though not a complete, sequenceof drafts, diagrams, research notes and correspondencerelating to Wager’s publications, including book reviews, collaborative papers and posthumouswork. Several of these are additional to the Bibliography accompanying the Royal Society Memoir of Wager by W.A.Deer, a copyof whichis included at A.2. Wagerwas notorious for constantly rethinking his ideas. His first pencil draft for a paper, often written in his Yorkshire home at Sawyersgarth, might be producedfairly quickly, but would pass through as manyasfive or six subsequent versions to accommodate new results or (often minor) changes of emphasis before being sent to a journal editor or publisher. Even then, Wager would revise proofs extensively and request changesor additions up to, or beyond, a deadline. It is clear from the surviving material that much was required from secretaries or co-workers before a script, diagram orillustration was considered acceptable for publication. Equally, Wager wasprepared himself to rewrite and recast papers by others to bring them into line with his own standards; this can be seen from the continuing papers on East Greenland published in Meddelelser Om Grenlandby his students (H.22-H.24, H.25). Many other drafts and notes for publications were kept with Wager’s expedition and research material, and remain in the relevant sections. At H.99 are further invitations to write, which Wager declined. Wager severely limited his involvementin editorial and advisory work. H.100-H.109is relatively scanty, mainly confined to the Journal of Petrology and Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. H.1-H.99 DRAFTS H.100-H.109 EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE L.R.

Wager NCUACS84/5/99 144 Publications H.52-H.56 ‘Types of igneous cumulates’, with G. M. Brown and W. J. Wadsworth, J. Petr. 1, 1960. This paper elaborated the idea of a two-stage crystallisation of rocks in a layered intrusion and introduced the term ‘cumulates’ as a generic name. G.M. Brown describes the story of the choice of this term (Hargreaves, Appendix Ill, pp. 136-137): He wanted a single generic name which reflected the accumulation of piles of crystals. During lunch at University College in 1959, he sought the advice . of the late Freddie Wells, Tutor in Classics, who suggested adopting the Latin work “cumulus”, meaning a heap. Together LRW and| then began an exciting few weeks of word juggling, categorising the various rocks as “cumulates”, pre-fixed by whatever mineral was most abundantin each. The nomenclature was then expandedtoreflect various crystallisation processes and a definitive paper was written with a research student collaborator (John Wadsworth) in 1960. Correspondence with colleagues 1954-1961. The correspondence, which was found with the drafts, is about layered intrusions, but only that of 1960, 1961 refers to the paper and discusses the nomenclature. Wager’snotes on ‘cumulo’, arising from ‘talk with F. Wells July 23 1956’.

Wager NCUACS84/5/99 192 SECTION J SOCIETIES AND ORGANISATIONS J.1-J.27 This section is relatively compact, since Wager preferred to devote his travelling time and activity outside the laboratory to expeditions and ongoing geological research. Furthermore,it is probable that the surviving material does not provide an adequate record of his involvement, for example, with the Geological Society, the Mineralogical Society of which he wasPresident from 1960 to 1963, and the Geology and Geophysics Grants Sub-Committee of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research whichhe chaired. The most substantial material (J.7-J.27) relates to the Royal Society, and more especially to Wager’s long service on the British National Committee for Geodesy and Geophysics’ Vulcanology Subcommittee, during a complex period of national and international negotiations on the status of the several geological organisations and the scope of their work, with special reference to geochemistry and geochronology.

They record Wager's expeditions, comprising both general and specifically geological diaries; they bear Wager’s original numeration in Roman numerals on the spine, and his name, date and indication of contents on the inside. Like the rock catalogues listed elsewhere, these notebooks were renumbered with Arabic numerals at a later date within the Oxford Department and provided with indexes pasted inside the front cover. The geologicaldiaries for each expedition, which include diagrams and sketches as well as narrative, are not continuous entries since not every day could be spentin this way. Most havea list of dates and sites provided by Wageronthe front page. Only terminal dates are given in the entries below. The items numbered as App.54-App.69 are additional notebooks which do not figure in the numbered sequencethough they mayantedate or coincide with them.
