Notes and topics
"I quite admit discussion on sexual subjects is bad for most young people". Thinking of putting paper into final form as dialogue between A and B. Graham Wallas. Why doesn't Alys write a history of the Temperance Movement? Women tied to sex: "No one is to blame except thy friend the Deity". At Sidgwick's dinner, sat next to Miss Johnson who beat him in Tripos; "She did seem stupid". Mrs. Verrall. Colossal to hear the Wards in their brilliance argue: "each as sharp as nails". Has an exam of no importance on [March] 12 [the Moral Sciences exam on Metaphysics!]. Germany trip.
Reading controversies on the self.
