| Title | Letter from William A [Augustus] Tilden, The Oaks, Northwood, Middlesex, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Tilden; Sir William Augustus (1842-1926); British chemist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 19 July 1908 |
| Description | He has received a letter from Professor [Otto Nikolaus] Witt of Charlottenburg on the subject of the Cambridge Chair, in response to a list of candidates supplied by Tilden. Tilden wishes to know how many were recognised by continental chemists. He quotes from the response, highlighting [Henry John Horstman] Fenton as the most distinguished. His imperiousness of manner is a consideration, but the real question is who is the best chemist with the widest reputation. Tilden hopes that Fenton would be considered seriously.
With some pencilled notes by Joseph Larmor. |
