CAMBRIDGE TUTOR
APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL.
(United Press Association—Copjrright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) LONDON, 10th February.
The council of.the Cambridge University Senate has nominated Mr. Justice Avory as delegate, together with Sir Walter Fletcher, Dr. Montagu James, Sir William Bragg, and Mr. J. Withers, the Conservative candidate for the University'by-election, to hear Mr. J. B. S. Haldane's appeal against his dismissal, on the ground that he was co-respondent mV a divorce suit.
A previous message stated that a sensation had been caused in the University of Cambridge by the dismissal of Mr. J. B. 8. Haldane, a nephew of Lord Haldane, from the readership in bio-chemistry, because he was the' corespondent in a recent divorce j suit. The university authorities asked Mr. Haldane to resign, but he refused, insisting that he was not guilty of immorality. It is understood that a large, section of university opinion considers it an inquisitorial persecution of a young and brilliant sceintist that will only cast ridicule' on the university.
