Agrees that Glover is fit to stand as Orator. Abstains from pledging his support until he knows the names of the other candidates. Voices concern that Glover will be unpopular with those with Honorary Degrees who fought in the war, because of his position as an objector. Mentions that he would support Gaselee if he was not leaving Cambridge, but will certainly support Glover over Cornford.
