- Title:
- George R Price: 'A Theory of the Function of the Hymen'
- Scope & Content:
-
An unpublished scientific paper that indicates Price’s interest in evolutionary biology long before he moved to the UK.
1. Letter, typescript with signature in blue ink (1 f), 27 June 1962, from Graham DuShane, Editor, Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1515 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington 5, D. C., USA, to George Price, rejecting immediately a submitted article entitled ‘A Theory of the Function of the Hymen’ as too speculative, but indicating a willingness to consider a second longer submission entitled ‘Fallacies of Random Neural Networks and Self-Organizing Systems’. As a student George Price attended a course by DuShane in Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy at Chicago. DuShane concludes the letter by saying 'I doubt that the present evolutionary trend of your thought owes much to the experience, but one never knows'.
2. Article, in typescript (37 ff, paginated [1]-36 with two sheets numbered 31), with occasional amendments by hand. With two cover sheets.
Letter and article are retained in original card file, labelled 'Hymen' in pencil.
