TitleLetter from A V Hill to A C Simpson, the National Union of Students, 3 King's Parade, Cambridge
Date1 September 1942
DescriptionAgrees that the State Bursar Scheme should continue after the war, provided that there should be 'some form of national service following it'. Agrees with the suggestion that history of science lectures should be introduced, but hopes that he will also introduce 'any attempt to get over what is frequently a grave defect in the education of scientists, namely, an incapacity to express themselves clearly and to put their ideas precisely in English'. Hopes that 'spreading a hatred of Fascism will not necessarily mean propaganda exclusively in favour of any other ism'.
