 An interdisciplinary logic group formed around Hughes and Cresswell in 1968, meeting at first fortnightly, and then weekly from about 1970. The Wellington logic group ‘was a deliberate attempt to marry interests in mathematics and philosophy’, said Wilf Malcolm, who worked on the foundations of mathematics (Malcolm 1975) and later became Professor of Pure Mathematics at Vic. Apart from the sheer logical talent of those involved in the Wellington group, Cresswell put the group’s stellar success down to the fact that—unlike much in today’s universities—it was not a managed creation: it had ‘just grown and wasn’t planned’.
