Begins 'Dear Vice Chancellor. / Some time ago I proposed Sir David Cecil for election to the Athenaeum. His name has produced a remarkable number of supporters, but no one has been put down as seconder to my proposal.' He asks Ross to second Cecil's nomination, before writing a sentence which is hard to decipher. He concludes by suggesting that he inform the club secretary accordingly, if Ross is willing.…

Reads: 'Dear Provost, / I have received your letter of November 20th about Mr. Randall Cooper.

See his entry, and that of Ross, in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. On blue paper. Folded twice for postage.

He realises that the 'advancement' of the trusts 'is dependant to no small extent on the active interest of the Vice-Chancellor', and he and 'the many who are actively concerned in the progress of the Trusts, are very sensible of the gratitude we owe to you for the intentness of your co-operation during the last three years.'.…

Four scarce pieces of ephemera: no other copies of them traced on either JISC or WorldCat. See Ross's entry in the Oxford DNB. The three reports give lists of college persons, with general and particular news. Items Two to Four in good condition, lightly aged and creased; Item One as described below. ONE: 'ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD / 1917-1918'. Signed in type by 'L. L. P.' [i.e. Langford Lovell Price, retiring treasurer] and dated 31 July 1918. 7pp, 12mo. On two bifoliums of thin war-economy paper, glued together. With stamps of The Treasury, Oriel College, Oxford, and 'With the Treasurer's Compliments'. Aged, creased and worn. Begins: 'The prolongation of the War during the past academical year (1917-1918) has postponed for a while the hope of a revival of the happier, more tranquil state of normal times.' Later: 'For the moment, however, the Provost, a single Tutor, a Treasurer and less than a handful of Fellows, fourteen Undergraduates, and a small remnants of servants dwell in, or use, some of the rooms in the Front and Back Quadrangles, while a Principal, Tutors, Bursar, and students of the other sex retain in their large numbers their temporary occupation of the new and older buildings of St. Mary's Quadrangle.' Later: 'Mrs. Grundy, the wife of Dr. G. B. Grundy, Fellow and Tutor of Corpus Christi College, is, as a new experiment, undertaking the supervision of the internal housekeeping arrangements of the College.'

About 50 have gone down since Midsummer, but about 50 freshmen are expected to come into residence in 1922-23.' THREE: 'ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD, / 1922-1923.' 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'The numbers were slightly lower than in the previous year.'
