From biscuits to brains
University of Reading lecturer Dr Tony Corley is to give a free public talk on how funding from biscuit makers Huntley & Palmer resulted in the founding of the University in 1846.
The lecture will be held at 6pm on Wednesday 6 December at the University’s Wolfgang van Emden Theatre. Biscuits will be provided at 5.30pm.
How times have changed. It could be argued that Reading Uni is now better associated with another of the 3 Bs: beer. Something that some students should be lectured more strongly about, perhaps.
