Item 110 - Letter from Charles Hughes Terrot

For some years they have been 'employed in getting up a school or college in Scotland for the education of the young of our church, and also for training candidates for orders'. They want to start next year with a Sub-Warden: 'The election rests with the six Bishops of the Scotch Episcopal Church. Now I suppose there must be in Cambridge many men quite qualified for all I have mentioned'. However 'the difficulty lies in the strong conflict of opinions prevailing among us, as among you in England' regarding Tractarians and Puritans: 'I am very desirous of having a Cambridge rather than an Oxford man' because this problem is less embedded at Cambridge, and secondly because they want someone with a knowledge of science as well as Greek and Latin. He must be in Priests orders and should not be under 30.
