Trinity College - WW refutes a story concerning Thorp [Thomas Thorp, senior dean and tutor] and WW's 'asserted resignation of the tuition'. The story was now old and had been promoted by 'some of the silliest scandal-mongers we have here, and that my theory of it was that it was one of the usual inventions of the second-year men to make the freshmen stare'. WW has had no time to get statistical recruits [RJ's statistical section at the BAAS]: 'I think I could do so better if I had some printed project, such for instance as your scheme of distribution of subjects which appears to me admirable'.
