| Description | Letter written from 2 Grove Park, Liverpool dated 1 July. Lodge discusses his impending move [to Birmingham, to become first principal of the new University of Birmingham], writing: 'I shall hate going for heaps of reasons, nevertheless I felt impelled to undertake the work - gigantic though it is & looking bigger as one comes nearer to it'. He stresses that he has arranged for physics to remain a part of his work, otherwise he would not have taken the position. He hopes to stay in touch with friends and return to lecture. |
