TitleLetter from Horace Lamb, Medindee, Burton Road, Didsbury, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date20 February 1892
DescriptionHe has received some printed papers from London University presented by Workman at Trinity as a thesis for DSc. They are on singular solutions and Dickins has said they 'should be dealt with in the usual way'. Lamb asks for instruction from Larmor, as he gathers that examinations are expected in all cases, and this will be 'rather a bore'. He wonders if external examiners would be allowed. He supposes that Adams' Professorship has been settled, but he has heard no gossip.
