A Function of the Time - The Cavendish Society and its Postprandial Proceedings



Thursday 12th March, 5.30-7pm, talk at 6pm

Whipple Museum of the History of Science, Free School Lane, Cambridge

A century ago, students in the Cavendish Laboratory wrote and sang humorous songs about science at their annual dinner, to well-known tunes. This talk will explore what the proceedings reveal about the culture of the Cambridge physics research community, and will include performances of these songs by the HPS chorus.
