Carbon copy of typescript letter, signed, from FH to W.L. Francis (Science Research Council)

Scope and Content

Negotiations over the proposed Institute are near an end. Instead of answering the SRC proposal of May 1965 with only a plain 'yes' or 'no', the General Board has now produced draft regulations that bear little or no relation to my proposals. Apologises for being overoptimistic at the RGC Astronomy Sub-committee meeting in February 1965. The SRC condition of 10% [sic] funding from the University has helped to bring about this situation. Sets the end of the Michaelmas Term as a final date by which the University will either have given a clear answer to you, or I shall presume the answer to be negative. With copy of 15/7/30 enclosed. See also 8/2/32. Numbered 16 by FH
