| Description | Harrison acknowledges their letter enclosing a draft charter of the new Institution of Science and Technology, and the invitation for the Royal Society to appoint a member of the Governing Body. He explains that the Council of the Royal Society will not meet until the 30 May, so cannot provide the nomination within the three weeks specified, but if the deadline can be extended by one day, the Council will be invited to make a nomination, with their decision to be communicated to the Board of Education the same day. |
