| Title | Letter from Henry E [Enfield] Roscoe, Woodcote Lodge, West Horsley, Leatherhead, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Roscoe; Sir Henry Enfield (1833-1915); British chemist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 4 April 1901 |
| Description | He would not be surprised if the new method of selecting examiners and electing Senate is not worse than the old. He agrees with Larmor that they should have the best men as mathematical examiners, but the whole ground should be covered. He does not know who the men are, but will have names next week, and he will keep an eye on proceedings. The success of the University depends upon the high class of the examiners, and appointees must be scientific men, not 'crammers'. He asks Larmor which of the mathematical members of the Senate he should consult, preferably one with sense. |
