Error

Sir.—

The Mathematical and Physical Society of this College has asked me to communicate with you informing you of the deep concern felt by the Society over the use of the Word "insignificant" in your article of July 1. We feel sure that this can only be a printer's error but we would welcome an assurance from you that this is so. Trusting that we will hear from you in this matter.

I am, etc.

A B. Williams.

Secretary. Mathematical and Physical Society.

(We apologise for the error.. Nothing insignificant ever appears in "Salient."

Ed.)

And Mr. Middleton

Sir.—

Thanks for seeking my approval of your spelling and editing (Report. Exec. Meeting, issue of July 15). Perhaps I should have stated that I like also to see "witticisms" printed correctly, especially in sub-headings (same report).

I am, etc.

E. Middleton.

(Thank you for your obvious interest. There will be three further issues this year.

Ed.)

Sir.—

I don't read your newspaper, but a friend told me that a certain L. D. Austin (he said he was sure it was him) had written complaining that someone had spelt Emlyn Williams Christian name wrongly. L.A. Austin is certainly living up to his reputation As L.D.A was sure a have been one of the few who attended the performance of the Drama Club's production of E. Williams' "Spring 1600," what a pity he did contact a member of the Drama Club and have a talk about spelling.

More people would have noticed him if he had.

—I am, etc.

Modesty

(Your friend made a mistake. It wasn't L. D. Austin but E. Middleton.

Ed.)
