Scope and content

Christ's College - Cartmell agrees with Whewell that the Vice-Chancellor and the Master of Pembroke College will sign the report of the Syndicate appointed to revise the Statutes of the University: the protest Whewell has drawn up ought to be signed by all those who dissent from the report. Cartmell wishes the syndicate would break up for the summer since they are so flushed with victory they have lost 'the power of considering any point with calmness, or except with the hope of curtailing or destroying some constituted authority'. Accompanied by 11 pages of notes about an unidentified publication.
