Scope and content
The Vice-Chancellor has informed WW that they are not disposed favourably toward JCH's scheme [the Coleridge prize, see WW to JCH, 27 Oct. 1834]: 'the objection is not to any accidental and extraneous part of the scheme, but to the name of Coleridge'. His name is still associated with his earlier reputation than with 'the Christian philosophy which he has impressed upon so many in his riper years'. Richard Jones has been appointed the new Professor of Political Economy at Haileybury. However with the uncertain future of the College the position may not last long.
