British Academy: The UK's National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences
Sir John Rhys Memorial Lectures
In 1924 the Academy was given the proceeds of an appeal fund to set up a 'memorial' for the late Sir John Rhŷs FBA. The Academy decided that the memorial would take the form of a 'lecture, or paper, or monograph' on a Welsh or other Celtic theme. The lecture was first delivered in 1925.
