| Disgrifiad | As usual, he saw to it that the background was wide and deep and exact: he had notes on the careers of his Welsh contemporaries at Oxford, both in the University and in their after life; for example, he has records (based on his diaries, except that for 1883, missing) of his meetings with Sir Owen Edwards and J. Arthur Price which are so succinctly referred to in the 'Eurgrawn' article. Among the many letters received by Sir John after the broadcast, and preserved in this bundle, one of the most interesting is that of Mr W.J. Williams of Llandudno Junction, with his references to J. Arthur Price, the distinguished lawyer and Anglo-Catholic, who was an early subscriber to Coleg Harlech, but became uneasy about the type of teaching given there (mixing his diatribes with attacks upon Freemasonry). Sir John's notes refer to the ministry of the Rev Hugh Price Hughes at Oxford, and to meetings of the A.C.C., the society formed for the purpose of intercourse between Oxford undergraduates who had been at the U.C.W. (quite interesting is the note sent to Sir John by Mr T.I. Ellis, giving a quotation from the Minute Book of the Society, supplying the date of its founding and the names of the original members). |
