Material in this series arrived in considerable disarray. During cataloguing material was sorted into three files: material pertaining to the 1962 Creweian Oration; material pertaining to the 1964 Creweian Oration; printed material pertaining to the Encaenia and associated university events. A further bundle of material pertaining to the judging of a number of university prizes, carried out by Graves in his capacity as Professor of Poetry, has been placed at RG/K/OPP.
