| Title | Draft letter from [Joseph Larmor], St John's College, Cambridge, to Lord Peel |
| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Recipient | Peel; William Robert Wellesley; first Earl Peel (1867-1937); British politician |
| Date | 31 December 1917 |
| Description | It has been pointed out to Larmor that the wording of Peel's amendment on Women's University Franchise may be ambiguous and controversial if not altered. He notes the examinations necessary for a degree. Up to now, Girton students have passed one previous examination, but more of the Newnham women students have not; this involves Greek and Latin. Larmor points out the difficulty in including only the final examination in the tripos; if this earlier test was not included it would leave Girton women with a grievance. |
