Sent from Sir Philip Joseph Hartog
11 Jul 1913
Description:
‘Dear Pearson,
...
In regard to the transfer of the Laboratory, I always understood that you had no personal views in the matter except that a separate Banking account should be kept and this has been secured. I think there was a great deal to be said both for the maintenance of the status quo in regard to the Laboratory and for the change proposed by the University College Committee. I am inclined to think that the compromise arrived at was probably the best solution of the difficulty in the circumstances and I trust that the Laboratory will not lose financially. I certainly anticipated that there might be opposition in the Senate and had the Galton Committee not acquiesced in the change, it would probably have arisen.’
