Biographical history
Richard Bawden (1947-1951) bequeathed his estate to the College in his will and on his death in 2013 the College began the process of sorting the estate. Part of this process involved the Archivist sorting through all the papers from Bawden's house. The selection of papers catalogued here would not normally have been retained but for the fact Bawden was a major donor to the College and researchers in the future may be interested in his life and background. Items relating to his time immediately after leaving Jesus provide a good example of how the College dealt with students once they had left the College and how they helped them with the job application process.
