ALS to T. R. Glover

Argues that Glover should represent the University by preaching in the University Church rather than going overseas. Discusses the Cambridge University Press and Glover's book, 'The Ancient World'. Mentions Einstein, Bohn, Eddington, Born and Lord Rutherford [possibly refering to the Academic Assistance Council]. Refers to an assembly of Christian Bishops at which the Pope was chair at the request of George Lansbury. Refers to the building work at St John's that he has heard reported by his bedmaker.

Physicist. Admitted pensioner at St John's 1876; B.A. (Senior Wrangler and 1st Smith's Prize) 1880; M.A. 1883; Fellow, 1880-1942; Professor of Natural Philosophy, Queen's College, Galway, 1880-5; University Lecturer in mathematics at Cambridge, 1885-1903; Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, 1903-32; F.R.S., 1892 and Secretary of the Royal Society, 1901-12; Knighted, 1909; M.P. for the University, 1911-22; Revised J. Clerk Maxwell's edition of the papers of Henry Cavendish (1921), and edited the collected works of James Thomson (1912), the fourth and fifth volumes (1904-5) of the works of Sir G. G. Stokes, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth volumes (1910-11) of those of Lord Kelvin. Published Aether and Matter (1900) which gained the Adams Prize in the University of Cambridge. In this work he developed an analysis of the dynamical relations of the aether to material systems on the basis of the atomic constitution of matter, and included a discussion of the influence of the earth's motion on optical phenomena. He was also the first to give a formula for the rate of radiation of energy from an accelerated electron, and also to give an explanation of the effect of a magnetic field in splitting the lines of the spectrum into multiple lines
