| Description | Lodge asks how Larmor's address is progressing. He has been lecturing at Bradford to Yorkshire teachers, so he has prepared the ground for Larmor. He has had an unforgettable experience at Bradford, [James Clerk] Maxwell lecturing on molecules, and Lodge was 'entranced'. Henry Smith was President of A [Section of the British Association] and he lists the others there: [Arthur] Cayley, [James Joseph] Sylvester, [Felix] Klein, [William Kindon] Clifford, J.W.L.Gr [James Whitbread Lee Glaisher], besides [George Gabriel] Stokes and Maxwell. Lodge was almost persuaded to learn pure mathematics. |
