Scope and content

Royal Observatory Greenwich - GA congratulates WW and Trinity College 'on the late mathematical Tripos display. I congratulate you, because I conceive this to prove the success of a policy which I believe you to have at heart; and I congratulate the College because I think it argues that combination of studies which I hold to be the most valuable that men can follow and infinitely superior to one taken alone'.
