Correspondence, and lecture notes (holograph) for two lectures delivered at Mount Zion Hospital and the Medical Center, San Francisco.
Crick delivered the Franklin I Harris Memorial Lecture ("The Nature of the Genetic Code") on 9 April, 1962 (co-inciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of Mount Zion Hospital). On agreeing the lecture date and supplying the lecture title, Crick noted, with an eye to the emerging triple code, that "there have been exciting developments in this field in the last few months" (Crick to Dr J R Greenberg, 17 November, 1961).
Crick also delivered the Phi Delta Epsilon Lecture to medical students and faculty of the University of California Medical School, on 10 April, 1962, with the title "The Structure of Small Viruses."
The file also contains various items of literature from Mount Zion Hospital relating to the 75th anniversary (including references to Crick), a certificate acknowledging with appreciation Crick's Franklin I Harris Lecture, and three press cuttings, two on Crick's visit and one on Linus Pauling, 1960 Mount Zion Memorial Lecturer ("Gene mutations and molecular diseases").
In addition, there is a letter written subsequently in the year from a young boy congratulating Crick on his Nobel Prize and enclosing a photograph (b/w, 3" x 3") of himself and Crick immediately prior to delivering the Franklin I Harris Memorial Lecture.
