Item 38 - Letter from Edward Hawkins

5 pp

Oriel College - EH scarcely knows what answer to make to WW about their proposed Statutes: 'I think, however, that nothing has actually passed the Convocation and so become a Statute of the university, but the Statute respecting our slight elementary examination called the 'Responsions'' [the first of the three examinations for the BA degree] has been approved and is now law. EH gives more details concerning the examinations and statutes. He would be 'glad to see the Paper of Details you promise me. It may very likely help us; or if not, I am interested in all you do or design'.
