Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Private Confidentially Communicated: University of Oxford
My Dear Sir, -
I have great pleasure in sending you a copy of our forthcoming Service Book.
The more I think of the questions you mentioned to me as existing in your mind about the course you should pursue at Oriel, the more I feel that there need be no obstacle to the restoration of my name to my old college books. The questions of attending lectures and chapel would not apply to me; or, if I came to reside for a Masters degree, I should certainly attend chapel if nothing contrary to the common Protestantism existed then 1, which I do not apprehend.
Should I become a Master (which implies fresh legislation), I should certainly regard membership of a common room as a thing resting entirely with the previous members. My whole feeling, in short, is that the old Colleges should not be disturbed on their present footing: facility being given to those who do not concur in all the Thirty-nine Articles, to have a hall of their own. A generous mutual regard to conscience a principle taught me at Oriel) will solve many problems.
