Also includes: copies of papers by other symposia participants; copies of letters and papers relevant to debates over the effect of hereditary and environmental factors on IQ sent to Bronowski from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues; and a "speaking engagement" information sheet [made for the file].
