1 doc

Declares that he prefers to use his own name, and asks old friends to use it 'for the sake of the association.' Declares that the previous day he had said that he did not think that any movement would be made at Cambridge to obtain degrees for women. States that the principle on which his opposition to the measure was based remains unchanged. Does not believe that Cambridge students can be at a disadvantage. Declares that '[some] [other] people in England cannot have this Hindu superstition [in] [to] the degree letters.' Doesn't feel able to sign the memorial. Is glad to know the date of the beginning of the Eranus Society.
