Item 81 - William Whewell to Julius Charles Hare

3 pp.

WW and Cordelia Whewell will very likely be passing JCH's way and would like to see him if they do. WW is to meet the Archeological Association on the 9th of September. WW is writing a little book about the Cambridge system of education [Of a Liberal Education in General, and with Particular Reference to the Leading Studies of the University of Cambridge, 1845]: 'We have still, as we have generally had, a number of alleged evils in the university, and a number of proposals for remedying them; and I think we shall be the more likely to succeed in this object, by taking a somewhat larger view of the matter than our college pamphleteers are wont to do'. Enough has been seen to suggest that 'the old universities cannot expect a continuance of the protection which they have been accustomed to receive at the hands of government'.
