| Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to the Lord Rayleigh [Robert John Strutt], Chairman of the Physics Committee and FRS |
| Date | 20 February 1923 |
| Description | Informs the Lord Rayleigh that the report on H. Grayson Smith's paper, 'A correspondence between the spectrum of the potassium ion and the spectrum of argon', was entirely unfavourable, stating the results were 'too trivial' and overall it seemed to be the work of a 'half-trained student'. Asks whether the communicator of the paper should now be asked to withdraw it. |
