Catalogue description LECTURES, ADDRESSES, PUBLICATIONS E.1 - E.75

Much of the material in the first part is in typescript and was designed for distribution to students rather than as a basis for lectures delivered by Weis-Fogh (though see CSAC.65.3.79/E.6, CSAC.65.3.79/E.12, CSAC.65.3.79/E.15, CSAC.65.3.79/E.19). Papers have survived from both Copenhagen (1958-65) and Cambridge (1968-75). Occasionally brief correspondence is included with the lectures.

Weis-Fogh kept notes for talks he had given in rough chronological groups, thus enabling approximate dates to be suggested for the few undated mss. Related correspondence was occasionally filed with the text of the talk.

Weis-Fogh seems to have been much in demand as a speaker (see letter in CSAC.65.3.79/E.57), although during the last years of his life he found it increasingly difficult to spare the time for giving talks. The subjects chosen reflect his main research interests at a given time and it is notable that talks on insect flight recur throughout the period covered, demonstrating his continuing enthusiasm for the subject. He continued to give talks in Denmark after his move to Cambridge in 1966 and much of the material in this Section is in Danish.

Inevitably there is some overlap with Section F, as some of these talks and papers, especially in the earlier years, were delivered at conferences. These are itemised in the introduction to Section F.

Titles and descriptions in inverted commas are those which appear on Weis-Fogh's folders or notes. Translations are given of headings originally in Danish. All items are in manuscript unless otherwise indicated.

E.1 - E.20 University lectures and courses delivered or attended by Weis-Fogh, 1955-75

E.21 - E.74 Lectures and addresses, 1948-75
