Letter of resignation from W J Ashley of Birmingham University, to William B Hardy of the Food Committee Is glad to see that [G Udny] Yule has been added to the Committee -- as the questions to be taken up are increasingly of a technical-physiological nature, feels that he can hand in his resignation -- asks to continue receiving papers from the Committee and promises to help if called on -- notes that there 'has been an unexpected influx of students' at the University and that he can possibly be most useful as an advisor on industry questions. 22 October 1917
