"10.45 p.m." Too bad couldn't celebrate anniversary of Temperance demonstration. Encloses congratulatory letters, which are to be sent to P.L. [Pembroke Lodge]. Zangwill. Discussed German and Russian literature with Mrs Ward. Ward told him his essay paper best ever seen. Augurs well for Fellowship in two or three years from September. Seemed to fix on subject of "The Epistemological Bearings of Metageometry". "I then went on, at Ward's recommendation, to a somewhat younger member of the Society, named Whitehead, another Trinity don, who has worked at this subject from the mathematical side, and he instructed me in the bibliography of the subject. I may write on the meaning and validity of the differential calculus instead, but I think that would be harder and less exciting. In either case I shall be able to utilize both my Triposes, and so, I hope, make my dissertation unintelligible to all my examiners, in which case I shall be safe. Ward seemed to think I should be able to do a certain amount of economics as well, and that it wouldn't matter being away, indeed that Germany would be quite a good plan. I shall have to go in first Sep. year, which may interfere with our wedding tour I fear. This is sad, but I suppose unavoidable." Maggie Elliot.
