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
Date12 November 1893
DescriptionHe asks if Larmor has seen the advertisement for external examiners at Victoria University and asks if he would be a candidate. It would depend upon the actions of people at Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, and their feelings are difficult to gauge, but Larmor would not be passed over unless to a very good candidate. Future work would be divided, which Lamb explains, noting the pay of £35 and travelling expenses. He has no idea of who the candidates might be, although an Oxford man has been mentioned.
