Alan Turing school report in Cambridge codebreaker exhibition
A school report stating World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing needed to buck up his ideas if he wanted to get into Cambridge University is going on public display for the first time. Turing's report from Sherborne School in Dorset warns: "He must remember that Cambridge will want sound knowledge rather than vague ideas." It forms part of a new Codebreakers and Groundbreakers exhibition at Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum. The exhibition opens on Tuesday. The 1929 report from the school which Turing attended from the age of 13 is on show alongside other personal items.
