Note
The Sir Robert Rede lecture was named for Rede, the Chief Justice for Common Pleas 1506-1519. Upon his death he left a £4 annual stipend to fund three lectureships at Jesus College, in logic, moral philosophy and rhetoric. From 1858 the fund was used to support a single annual lecture, known as the Rede Lecture. The lecturer is appointed by the Vice Chancellor.
In 1865 the Rede lecture was given by John Tyndall (1820-1893), on the subject of radiation. Tyndall was an Irish physicist, who made discoveries in the fields of diamagnetism, infrared radiation, and the physical properties of air. In 1859, he proved the connection between atmospheric CO2 and has come be to known as the greenhouse effect.
