Sending a copy of the English Universities. Has quoted JH in the third volume. Hopes that university reform will be a popular topic.
Is pleased JH has such a high opinion of the new work on the English universities; it has hardly been noticed by the public. V. A. Huber belongs to the Conservative party but tries to be impartial as a historian. Hopes that the amount of reading at universities will be reduced.
Ask JR to advise the Queen to issue Her Royal Commission of Inquiry into the best methods of securing the improvement of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
