Scope and content
Informs Sidgwick that the Government have notified to their 'TCS men of both years that the £150 grant will be continued to them for a 3rd year should they choose to remain in residence conditionally on their graduating in honours.' Hopes that this will 'remove all reluctance on the part of the Colleges to receiving the men and...have the effect of attracting a somewhat higher average of ability in future years.' Sends his regards to Mrs Sidgwick. States that, but for Sidgwick, 'the whole benefit of this change would probably have been reaped by Oxford'; hopes they get their fair share of it.
