Abstract
The prospect of bringing Latin American studies to St Antony’s arose in 1959. Lord Astor had invited Deakin to become a member of a committee controlling a trust fund he had created for assisting scientific and other studies. When asked by Astor whether he had any project to recommend to the fund’s committee, Deakin suggested that a grant of £2000 should be made to the college for one year in the first instance to enable a college member interested in Latin American studies to be sent to Latin America.1 The Astor Foundation then made a grant to St Antony’s of $10 000 for the study of Russian history and Latin American studies.2
