Correspondence regarding a lecture ("The Architecture of Biological Molecules") delivered at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, on 16 November, 1978. The file also includes Crick's lecture notes (5 sheets, holograph).
The lecture formed part of a wide-ranging series of lectures for students of the School of Environmental Design. Lecturers were asked (letter from Dr Richard Saul Wurman, 11 September, 1978) to identify a "book or reference that would be useful to review just prior or immediately after" their lecture. In response (Crick to Wurman, 15 September), Crick wrote: "The obvious crib for this is the article by Caspar and Klug (xerox enclosed), though this topic would only come at the end of the talk (note the acknowledgement at the end to Bucky Fuller). The book I mentioned over the phone is Symmetry by Hermann Weyl ...."
The Caspar and Klug "xerox" referred to is not in the file. To judge from Crick's lecture notes, it is "Virus architecture," Cold Spring Harb. Symp. Quant. Biol ., 27 (1962).
