| Title | Letter from W W [William Warwick] Buckland, 9 Grange Road, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Buckland; William Warwick (1859-1846); British jurist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 25 June 1919 |
| Description | In putting a case to Larmor, he intentionally avoided the personal, but believes that P.H. Winfield, in Larmor's college, would be well qualified for a Law Fellowship. Bushe Fox did not think highly of him, but that is not the end of the matter. Bushe Fox was a very succcessful teacher, and learned in property law, but had little sympathy with legal history, Winfield's area of research. Sir Frederick Pollock, not a lenient critic, thinks highly of Winfield and much has appeared in the Law Quarterly Review. Buckland agrees that the Law Tripos alone is not a sufficient test and dicssuses this in Winfield's case. |
