1926.03.16 A letter was read from Mr Codrington offering to place his services at the disposal of the Institute during such annual periods of his leave as he intended spending in India. The matter was referred to the Executive and Indian Committees<br />1926.12.13 proposed by H.J.E. Peake, seconded by F.J. Richards<br />
=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Kenneth Codrington devoted his life to Indian archaeology and was an authority on historical Indian art.<br /><br />Born to British parents in India, he was brought up in a remote hill station in the North West Frontier region of the Punjab (present day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan). <br /><br />Codrington collected plants in Afghanistan in 1940-1942 while ostensibly searching for archaeological artefacts, but chiefly occupied with running a spy network for British Intelligence. Codrington was also appointed naval attaché in Kabul, where his main task was to monitor German spy activity.<br /><br />From 1948 Codrington served as Professor of Indian Archaeology at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, where he was made Professor Emeritus on his retirement in 1966.
