Mrs. Pamela M. Huby, Reader in the Department of Philosophy, recollects private meetings being held after the Second World War in the room of Professor A.J. Dorward (Professor of Philosophy 1928-54), with a few persons from outside the University attending, but these meetings were not on such a formal basis as those of the previous Seminar |
