Unidad documental simple 39 - Letter from Edward Hawkins

Oriel College - Thanks WW for his paper on Mathematical Studies. If they 'could bring into operation our Boards for the appointment of our examiners, we might also get them to influence our studies through Reports of this kind...But at present there is a strong prejudice amongst the M.A.s against our proposed Boards'. EH and his colleagues are currently trying to rescue their 'mutilated Examination Statute; and we may probably propose a scheme very like the last, the objections to it having perhaps become weaker as the Members of the Convocation have thought more of it'.
