Litt.D. (1900-1995) The Chairman’s Remarks The Background of the Joseph Needham Memorial Lecture Series In gratitude to the many benefactors from Hong Kong who responded to the appeal for funding the building of a permanent Needham Research Library in Cambridge in the early 80s, the East Asian History of Science foundation (EAHSF) established an annual lecture for the benefit of the local academic community, students and interested public. The inaugural lecture was presented by Dr. Needham in 1983. Upon his death on 24 March 1995, the series was renamed the “Joseph Needham Memorial Lecture”. Thus far, 16 lectures by distinguished scholars have been presented since 1983. It is a great pleasure to welcome Professor Martin Jones, Chairman of the Needham Research Institute, and Vice-Master, Darwin College, Cambridge to deliver the 12th JN Memorial Lecture.
