Round Table on Science and Public Affairs, sponsored by the
Duke University Graduate School, began in 1973. The program
invited speakers to discuss issues of science, technology,
and public policy, and their relationships to academics,
industry, and government. The collection includes cassettes
and reel-to-reel tapes of speeches, correspondence,
financial documents, brochures, announcements, lists of
seminar attendees, travel vouchers, clippings, and other
materials. Major subjects include technology, science,
public policy, and the effect of technology on social and
public policy.

Historical Note
The Round Table on Science and Public Affairs was
sponsored by the Graduate School, under the general
direction of Dean John C. McKinney. Planning began in late
1973 in conjunction with the appointment of William Bevan
to the faculty. Dr. Bevan became the director of the
program. Its goals were to acquaint scientists and
engineers in academia with their counterparts in industry
and government, to help prepare scientists and engineers
for careers in public service, and to foster understanding
on the part of the academic community and the general
public of the roles and uses of science and technology. The
program brought in speakers to discuss problems of science
and public policy. Subjects included Technology, Law, and
Privacy, the National Science Foundation, Nuclear Energy,
Exchange Programs, Social Accountability and Educational
Testing, and Science in Latin America. Dr. Bevan directed
the program until 1983, when it appears to have ceased
operation for a time. Lectures were presented under its
auspices in January 1989 and March 1990.
Collection Overview
The collection includes sound recordings,
correspondence, financial documents, brochures,
announcements, lists of seminar attendees, travel vouchers,
clippings, and other materials. The first series,
[Sound Recordings](s1), consists
of three boxes of reel-to-reel and cassette tapes of
roundtable sessions. The
[Subject Files](s2) series is
comprised of printed materials, arranged in reverse
chronological order. A year's set of files typically
includes correspondence with speakers, accounting records,
brochures, fellowship and miscellaneous information.
