THE PRINCIPAL'S LODGING, THE UNIVERSITY, GLASGOW,

2. July. 1933.

My dear John,

If you get newspaper cuttings, you may be puzzled to understand what I said to the Hutcheson boys on Thursday - it is totally misrepresented in the Herald. What I did say was that our much maligned generation had produced the greatest name in the Roll of the School: that I could not tell them to go away and write works of imaginative

genius in imitation of you; but that I could and did tell them to imitate you in loyalty to old friends, old school, old University, and, above all, in loyalty to the ideals of their youth.

Quite commonplace, and it needed some imaginative genius on the part of the reporter to produce the rubbish he made me say.

Ever yours

Robert S. Rait.
