Scope and content
Has been asked to write to Sir William by Mr St J. Walker. Thinks a chemist would be best for the job, as chemistry stands in a position between physics and biology, and someone from the pure sciences is desirable in order to avoid an 'overswing' towards the applied sciences. Suggests one candidate he supports strongly. Has no clear views on the technical matters of salaries.
