Content and context

Refers to a conversation they had in relation to AS having been offered a teaching post in Glasgow, and whether he should take it or not. Explains that were he in AS' position he would not go, but that he is inclined to think that the latter should go because his experience of teaching would make him 'peculiarly fitted for the work', and because the 'long summer leisure' would give him more time to write than he would have if he stays in Oxford. Refers to Jebb's assumption that the annual salary for the position is �1,200, and adds that Ramsey shares that view of its value. Suggests that the latter two possible somewhat underrate the effect of the movement in education against compulsory Greek, but supposes that candidates for the Ministry 'must always supply a solid nucleus of Hellenists.'
