| Title | Letter from G [George] Johnstone Stoney, 9 Palmerston Park, Dublin, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Stoney; George Johnstone (1826-1911); Irish physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 4 December 1884 |
| Description | It s not often that a mathematician of Larmor's calibre should have the position which the Professorship at Queen's College Galway has given him, to deal with experimental physics as well as mathematics. He notes that Larmor held the office of University Examiner in these disciplines under Stoney's direction, and preceeding the dissolution of Queen's. Stoney could observe Larmor thoroughness and ability closely, therefore. Stoney was struck by the good choice Larmor made in apparatus added to the physical cabinet at Galway. He hopes that the University of Cambridge will enlist his services, even though he regrrets the loss of Larmor to Queen's College Galway. |
