Anniversary Address

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 January 2012

Extract

This Anniversary Address affords me the privilege of expressing the Society's congratulations to two of our Officers who have received Honours during the past year. Congratulations, first of all, to Miss M. V. Taylor, Vice-President, whose C.B.E. is specifically awarded for services to archaeology. Her long, distinguished, and selfless labours for Romano-British archaeology have made her a national figure, and the Haverfield Library at the Ashmolean Museum a clearing-house of knowledge. Congratulations to Sir James Mann, our Director, whose knighthood implies recognition of outstanding services to scholarship in Medieval and Renaissance craftsmanship and art; also of his services as Keeper of the Wallace Collection and as Master of the Tower Armouries—which have been so ably reorganized by him since the war.
