Scope and content
Concerning the proposed restructuring of the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy and the Observatories from Aug. 1972. The emphasis in the University's proposals on 'close association with physics' and on fostering ability to use the national facilities planned by the SRC are welcomed. Whilst the level of support from the university now suggested is lower than that originally envisaged, it is welcomed. The relevant SRC committee 'might be expected to look favourably on requests for support from a really good man with a programme of merit'. Is not aware of the past history of the Observatories, and there 1911 arrangement. [Numbered '8' in hand of FH]
