Deel 68 - Draft of a letter from William Whewell to Sir James Graham

Trin: Lodge - Confirming that the College abstained in changing the 41st statute as it applies to the University at large as well as to the College. Whewell has conferred with the committee of the Heads concerned with revising the University statutes and hopes to send him a draft of this statute revised. Sir Nicholas Tindal claims that it is not 'subject to the same interpreting authority as the University statutes...but is a College statute' and up to the Master and seniors of the College to revise it. Whewell will send him former royal letters which have modified College Statutes to show how they 'have obtained their validity'.
