Believes that the Eranus Society began at the end of 1871, but laments the fact that the original circular is [lost]. Hopes that the society still flourishes. Refers to discussions on papers that took place at its meetings. Confesses that he can recall only two of his own, 'and none of Hort's.' Regrets that Sidgwick gave his authority to calling Collectivism Socialism, and asks if these two concepts are not diametrically opposed.

Declares that he prefers to use his own name, and asks old friends to use it 'for the sake of the association.' Declares that the previous day he had said that he did not think that any movement would be made at Cambridge to obtain degrees for women. States that the principle on which his opposition to the measure was based remains unchanged. Does not believe that Cambridge students can be at a disadvantage. Declares that '[some] [other] people in England cannot have this Hindu superstition [in] [to] the degree letters.' Doesn't feel able to sign the memorial. Is glad to know the date of the beginning of the Eranus Society.
