DescriptionCulverwell discusses Trinity College Dublin's attempts to make their fellowship more competitive to candidates from Oxford and Cambridge, questioning whether the inclusion of an examination acts as a deterrent to candidates.

He asks that Larmor send any suggestions soon, as the Board meeting will be the following week.
