File

Barclays, 1970

Barclays Bank Limited

Includes two MS notes [by Prof. Campbell, 2002?] on the question of whether or not the file should be retained. Contains correspondence relating to the decision of UEA's Council to accede to student demands for an additional bank account to be opened with a bank other than Barclays, the University's bankers, for handling payments made by students who had ethical objections to Barclays' business activities in South Africa. A lay member of Council, Lord Cranbrook, resigned over the decision, and Prof. Campbell followed suit. Many of the letters in the file express support for Prof. Campbell.
