| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 27 August 1908 |
| Description | Regarding Larmor potentially taking the Master position. Huggins states that 'the guiding principle must be the conditions most suitable for the fullest development and excercise of your scientific powers. If Baker is right, the Mastership is little more than a life of housekeeping and college touting.' However, he gathers from Larmor's letter that such responsibilities would not 'in the least hamper your original work, while the position would open to you wide opportunities of scientific influence in the College and in the world'. |
