| Description | He hopes that Larmor's homeward journey has been safe and pleasant. They have been talking about getting a good man in mathematical physics and the best way to proceed would be to have an English applicant. The maximum salary would be $4,500, but only to a very good man. Nichols outlines what work would be involved and writes that President [Nicholas Murray] Butler will be in London in late June, and would prefer to meet any approved candidate, before an appointment. Interest is centred on [Henry Cabourn] Pocklington, but getting him is uncertain, so they would like to have others in mind. He asks Larmor to say who would fit their purposes, and applications should be made to Butler. Nichols notes the enthusiasm which was aroused by Larmor's lectures there. |
