Scope and content

Conduit Head, Cambridge - explains why he did not attend funeral - believes ceremonial at the death of a public man is important but he has renounced Church rites as a "splendid dream", and it is dishonest to use these rites to celebrate a man who was not a member of the Church, Cornford feels that he overstresses the intellectual side, quotes Hardy's poem "The Impercipient".
