TitleLetter from R T [Richard Tetley] Glazebrook, the National Physical Laboratory, Bushy House, Teddington, Middlesex, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorGlazebrook; Sir Richard Tetley (1854-1935); British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date15 November 1912
DescriptionGlazebrook thinks that the Optical Glass Committee would like a letter on the Council's decision. On a different matter, he asks for suggestions on candidates for a senior Professor of Mathematics at the Imperial Technical College. He is unsure of the salary but thinks £1,000 to £1,200, and the idea is to have one Professor with one or two Assistant Professors, in place of [Olaus] Henrici and [John] Perry. Glazebrook is on the selection committee and may be expected to make suggestions, but he does not know junior mathematicians. By junior he means young, and they would want a mathematician with interests in physics and engineering. He asks for ideas and Larmor's opinion of [Richard Cockburn] Maclaurin.
