| Title | Letter from Theodore Lyman, Jefferson Physical Laboratory, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Sir Joseph Larmor, St John's College, Cambrdige, England |
| Creator | Lyman; Theodore (1874-1954); American physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 13 June 1917 |
| Description | The outbreak of war has thrown everything into temporary disorder, excusing the delay in replying to Larmor. He agrees with Larmor that the plan for two degrees, M.Sc., and M.Litt., is a good one, although he is old-fashioned and prefers the old way. Lyman has entrusted his own reserach to an assistant while he spends time om military activities. Things are confused, but he hopes that they may come to the Allies' assistance in 'about nine months'. He has heard nothing of J.J. [Joseph John] Thomson and asks to be remembered to him. He concludes by apologising for using a typewriter 'I have the habit & cannot get rid of it'. |
