Sir Michael Sadler made unofficial

enquiries when he was asked to sign this

memorial, and in view of information received

that more of his colleagues at Oxford did not

trouble to make enquiries before signing a

memorial on a subject about which they are

obviously ill-informed. I think a fairly Jull reply is desirable. Jtt. Calder
