Correspondence and papers regarding the opposition of the European Committee of Scientists for Democracy in Greece to the Fourth (NATO) Advanced Study Institute at Spetsai, 1969.
A circular letter [1969] from the Committee to the scientific community advised: "We have learned with surprise and regret that the 4th Advanced Study Institute of Molecular Biology, planned for July 1967 and cancelled owing to the seizure of power in Greece by the military junta, is to be held on the island of Spetsai this summer ... It is however barely a year since the Minister of Education and Religious Affairs in the colonels' government dismissed 56 professors from the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine of the Universities of Salonica and Athens, on charges of 'disloyalty' and 'lack of moral authority' brought against them by the special police services. They were not given any means of defending themselves."
The file includes a small bound set of 'Documents on the "Cleansing" of Greek Universities by the Colonels'.
Crick did not consider "that the present regime is, in itself, an adequate reason for not holding Summer Schools in Spetsai" (letter to Dr François Gros, 19 March, 1969).
