[[File:Isaac_Newton_apple_tree,_Babson_College_-_IMG_0430.JPG|thumb|Newton apple tree at Babson College]]
Throughout [[Roger Babson#Interest in Isaac Newton|Roger Babson]]'s life, he had a strong interest in [[Isaac Newton]], especially after learning how "Newton had combined the practical with the theoretical," similar to how Babson applied Newton's third law to finance.<ref name=":02">{{Cite web |last=College |first=Babson |title=Grace K.

At the time, it was much easier to amass a large collection of scientific writing as book collectors valued them much less than in later years. Following some financial success, Grace was able to pursue her collection even further, later amounting to over 1,000 editions of Newton materials, being the largest source in the United States.<ref name=":02" /> In 1995, the Babson College collection was placed on loan to MIT's [[Burndy Library]], and in 2006, to the [[Huntington Library]] in San Marino, California, where it is available for scholarly research.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Newton You Didn't Know |url=https://www.huntington.org/verso/2020/01/newton-you-didnt-know |access-date=2021-12-01 |website=The Huntington |language=en}}</ref>
