TitleLetter from William Ridgeway, Flendyshe, Fen Ditton, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorRidgeway; Sir William (1853-1926); Irish classical scholar
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date17 July 1922
DescriptionHe thanks Larmor for the important information about Oxford supporters of women. This should rouse Cambridge men 'even in a decadent age'. Their talk with Larmor and [John Frederick Peel] Rawlinson was to determine policy. None of the lead opponents of women were consulted about persons on the Commission, and its composition shows that 'they are all Radicals'. If Larmor will not meet the sub-committee, he asks if he might meet Larmor personally. He wishes to get cohesion in the members of their group.
