From the Rand to the Royal Institution: origins of the Sir Julius Wernher memorial lecture

Since 1947 the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy (IMM) and its successor the Institute of Materials, Minerals and MIning have held 33 public lectures to honour the memory of Sir Julius Wernher, a South African financier who contributed substantially to mining education and research and who, on his death in 1912, left further funds to the IMM. The paper traces the concerns of the IMM in the immediate post-war years that led to the founding of the lecture series and discusses the themes that have emerged, with particular reference to the two alternative approaches to their selection that were first identified in 1949: either to select a topic that was important and pressing, then invite an authority on that topic to give the lecture, or to honour someone who had done outstanding work in a direction in which the IMM was interested by inviting them to lecture. The lectures given to date are listed and an appendix reproduces A.J. Wilson’s account of Sir Julius Wernher and his connection with the IMM, from his book The Professionals.
