First Dinner Table PlanThe table-plan for the first dinner of the Crabtree Foundation, drawn up by the first President, Professor Hugh Smith. The first Orator was Professor (later Sir) James Sutherland. Missing from this plan is the first Secretary and second Orator, Professor Arthur Brown - did he sit apart? Of those who were present, the following became Orators: Professor Terence Spencer (3), Professor R. V. Jones (4), Professor Hugh Smith (5), Charles Peake (17) and John Dodgson (20). |
ChairThe Chair, as used by Crabtree, was expertly reconstructed by Professor Peter Rowe, a former Orator. The tapestry was designed and executed by Professor Bartolmeu and Fernanda dos Santos. The Chair is used by the President at the annual dinner and oration. |
