| Title | Letter from Karl Pearson, 7 Well Road, Hampstead, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Pearson; Karl [formerly Carl] (1857-1936); British statistician and eugenicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 4 November 1898 |
| Description | He apologises for writing so severely. He meant to say that the burden of students was great, with perpetual queries about the meaning of examination questions. When pieces of the question are missed out, the time taken is great. Larmor suggested that Pearson should try his hand at it, but he thinks he would make far more blunders. He hates examining, becoming 'enraged' when students ask him how to do questions which he has not set, exciting his 'wrath against the whole London system & the individual examiner'. |
