Scope and content
WW has ascertained the views of the Trustees who are to elect the Regius Professor of Divinity. They do not think a separation of the Professorship from the living would be wise [see WW to JCH, 11 Nov. 1848]: 'In this opinion I agree for many reasons which it would be of no use to state in detail: but I may say briefly that this mode of endowing University Professorships appears to me at least as good as any which can be proposed as an alternative'. With the death of Dr French the Greek Professor succeeds to the stall at Ely. WW does not yet know who is to be the next Master of Jesus College: 'a matter of no small moment to us who have to work with him. The appointment is with the Bishop of Ely'.
