| Title | Copy letter from Archibald Geikie to Professor H [Herbert] H [Hall] Turner FRS, Oxford |
| Date | 29 January 1913 |
| Description | Geikie has received Turner's letter enclosing a copy of his printed letter to the Chairman of the Board of Visitors of Greenwich Observatory dated 15th instant. The Board has undoubtedly full power to direct the Astronomer Royal to make such astronomical observation and calculations as he in his judgement thinks proper. If he does not think them proper, the Board has no power to compel him to make them; but this scenario is unlikely to arise. Geikie writes that the changes Turner propose should be discussed by the Board and that a special meeting could be called. |
