TitleLetter from Lewis F Richardson, 38 Main Road, Castlehead, Paisley, to [Henry Dale]
Date[1942]
DescriptionSuggests that the current controversy over use of the FRS letters in expressing personal opinion could be ended by requiring Fellows to include the subject in which they were elected, eg 'FRS in Biology', or to omit the letters altogether. 'But if the Royal Society...were to forbid its Fellows to engage in politics...[it] would, I think, then be exceeding its rights...I would rather be ejected from the Society than have my political investigations hampered by it'.
