Content Summary:

Reca Stone (nee Lieberman) holds the degrees of Bachelor of Science (1927) and Diploma in Dental Surgery (1931) from the University of Leeds, and practised as a dentist until her marriage to Julius Stone in 1934. They met through their involvement with the National Union of Jewish Students. After marriage the Stones lived in Boston where Reca's dentistry qualifications received no reciprocity so she undertook a secretarial course. After their return to England in 1936 she commenced a Law course at the University of Leeds, but her final year was cut short by the birth of their first child Michael. Shortly afterwards they left for Auckland where Julius was Dean of the Law School. This small series contains Reca Stone's degree certificates, her cancelled passports and six books containing lecture notes in the subjects of Property, Torts and Criminal Law.
