Appeals to Lord Chancellor [R. M. Rolfe] are producing great changes in [parliamentary bill for new statutes at Cambridge University]. But Heads of Houses are angry. William Whewell's responses are 'arbitrary and despotic.' Extreme agitation at Cambridge.
Will communicate with the other committee members about a replacement for the Melbourne University professor who died [see JH's 1855-5-23].
