Gerald James Whitrow

[2] At Oxford he worked on an alternative theory of relativity with Professor Edward Arthur Milne.

Whitrow's interest in libraries and archives extended to the Athenaeum Club, of which he was elected a member in 1957.

He was responsible for founding some of the various discussion groups that exist in the club, and in the early 1990s he served on its executive committee.

[2] His main contributions were in the fields of cosmology and astrophysics, but his interests included the history and philosophy of science, with a particular focus on the concept of time.
