| Title | Letter from William Ridgeway, Flendyshe, Fen Ditton, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Ridgeway; Sir William (1853-1926); Irish classical scholar |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 26 July 1923 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for his pessimistic letter, but thinks it better 'to go down fighting'. He does not wish to be governed by Heads and thinks that they cannot represent the science and learning of Cambridge. Stratton and others are angry at the appointment of Will Spens. Ridgeway is to draft short statements of the professorial case. He describes how quiet Ulster is and refers to a speech in Bristol by Lloyd George. He wonders how Germany can build so much shipping tonnage and still be bankrupt, considering the situation there as a warning to English middle classes 'not to drift too long down the rapids of democracy'. |
