Letter from H M [Hector Munro] Macdonald, 33 College Bounds, Old Aberdeen, to [Joseph] Larmor It would be impossible for him to dine with Larmor next week. He has read part I, which will not do; and anything reasonable is in part II, although he has only looked at that quickly. He asks if Larmor would like a formal report, and if so he will write what he has to say for the next meeting of the Mathematical Society. He supposes that Larmor is in the thick of the Tripos fight. Macdonald has no faith in the present arrangement or the proposed one. They need a few common sense mathematicians, not schedules of examination subjects. Cambridge suffers from 'too much formal work and logic chopping without real logic'. 1 February 1907
