Cambridge, August 7 1880 I arrived here night before last called by the sad news that you know of. My father can certainly not last many weeks, perhaps not many days. I have received from Sylvester an account of his difficulty with Story. I have written what I could of a mollifying kind, but it really
|
|
seems to me that Sylvester's complain is just. I don't think Story appreciates the greatness of Sylvester & I think he has been undertaking to get the Journal into his own control in an unjustifiable degree. I think that we all in Baltimore owe so much to Sylvester that he should be supported in any reasonable position with energy. I hope the matter may not go to the length of displacing Story
|
|
because I think he is admirably fitted for it in other respects than those complained of. But Sylvester ought to be the judge of that.
It is no pleasure to me to intermeddle in any dispute but I feel bound to say that Sylvester has done so much for the University that no one ought to dispute his authority in the management of |
|
his department.
I shall be prepared to begin my lectures with the term & hope they will be found an improvement of last years. C. S. Peirce D. C. Gilman Esq., L.L.D. President Johns Hopkins University etc. etc.
