GENERAL INTRODUCTION
PROVENANCE
The material was received at various dates 1982 and 1983 from Dr. Sarah
Davies (widow) through the courtesy of the staff of the University Archives, Glasgow,
and of the Archivist of the Midland Bank, London.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
As will be seen from the summary of George's career, his academic life was
divided between Swansea (1920-47) and Glasgow (1947-80).
It was his wish, and
that of his widow, that the disposition of his papers and research material should reflect
his attachment to both Wales and Scotland, and the present catalogue accordingly
covers two places of deposit.
Part 1 Wales describes material held at the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, where
George's reprint collection is already housed.
Sections Aand D relate to George's
research and publications on Welsh rocks, especially of the Gower Peninsula, which
were his lifelong interest.
Section C includes documents of some interest on George's
work as adviser to industrial firms and official bodies on various aspects of mineral

CSAC 101/5/84
Both parts of the collection reflect George's active commitment to adult
education.
In his earlier years he gave regular lectures to University Extension and
similar adult education classes on an impressively wide range of topics (Section B),
and the same interest continued in Scotland albeit less clearly delineated (Section F).
Both these Sections include lectures or talks on topics such as science and society,
the value and content of adult education in a democracy, and the like.
FURTHER MATERIAL
George's specimen and fossil collection is held at the Hunterian Museum,
Glasgow.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We are grateful to Dr. W.S. McKerrow, Department of Geology and
Mineralogy, Oxford, for advice in identifying and describing some of the material.

DIPLOMA COURSE IN LIBERAL STUDIES
After considerable negotiation, the submission of draft syllabuses and examination
papers, and an initial refusal in January 1972, the proposed two-year Diploma Course
was given provisional recognition by the Scottish Universities Council on Entrance
(SUCE) on 22 November 1972 for three years from 1975 (E.100).
Further proposals
for changes in the syllabus were submitted in 1976 and the recognition by SUCE was
made permanent (E.105).
