Item D34 - Typescript letter signed from Kitson Clark to Benians

K thinks he ought to speak in debate on Tuesday. Crawley will put forward view of board and K will try to follow him to put minority view. Gathers Holland will speak and has got Master of Trinity to come and give support. Hopes B give support to Council's proposal sometime in debate - project for American professorship came very largely from B, originally from speech he made as Vice Chancellor, and he was great ally and assistant in agitation for it, so it important that University knows B not changed his opinion. Psychologically might be some advantage if B prepared to come in towards end of proceedings when likely that History Board put up second debater to answer K's arguments. Salter, who would have supported them, can't be present. Salter feels that there may be a non placet and if so may be necessary to produce second fly sheet in answer to one supporting the non placet. If so K hopes it not appear in last portion of this term - with 280 exam papers and chairmanship of Part I, K not anxious to take on anything else.
