TitleLetter from Stuart Kelson Brown, India Office, Whitehall, to [William Bate Hardy], Secretary of the Royal Society
Date30 November 1920
DescriptionEnclosing a dispatch from the Government of |India, forwarded by the Secretary of State. [Edwin Samuel] Montagu would like to know if the Society's Tropical Diseases Committee would select the two Tata Professors: one for Clinical Medicine and Therapy, and one for Protozoology. It is thought that Sir Dorabji Tata would be represented on the committee of selection and he has nominated Sir Walter Fletcher for that purpose. He hopes that the committee will inform Montagu whether they accept Fletcher's role. Montagu also asks that they treat the matter with urgency: 'by so doing they cannot fail to assist the case of Scientific Study in Bombay'.
