Date
May 24, 1907
Description

Thanks for SPT's letter from Paris describing London University visit there [see Life, pp.181-2, for extracts from Thompson's letter]. Thinks that article should be written on the 'failure of the University of London'. Refers to newly founded Imperial College which it 'will rapidly eclipse in popular imagination and eventually become a separate University for Science'.

Eastbourne.
