TitleLetter from G H [Godfrey Harold] Hardy, Trinity College, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorHardy; Godfrey Harold (1877-1947); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Datec.1919
DescriptionHe thinks that Larmor will have the report and hopes he will consider it carefully before he resolves to oppose it. Hardy thinks that the Transactions is moribund, but there is no reason why Cambridge could not support a first rate publication. The Transactions is dull and unrecognised, heavy with pure mathematics and second-rate papers. There is a real opportunity, and he hopes that Larmor will not consider him 'a hare-brained revolutionary' as [Hugh Frank] Newall does. His enthusiasm for mathematical reserach should put him above suspicion
