U.C.S.W. Principalship (1901) A very interesting and large bundle, testifying to diverse personalities and divergent factors. Thomas Darlington a candidate, strongly supported by local Wesleyens; Anwyl also in the running, a prominent Congregationalist, though one gentleman seriously asked if he was a Methodist (Calvinist). O.M. Edwards strongly fancied by some, though he never actually applied for the post, though others would have none of him; it comes out in one letter that Isaac Foulkes of Liverpool, Llyfrbryf, had no use whatsoever for the editor of Cymru.

Ainsworth Davies, who had married a man relative of Lady Lloyd who had himself — a Churchman) the duty of capturing the Baptist vote, with doubtful success. Sir Marchant Williams was very much alive in the discussions; he was never prevailed upon to support J.E.L. outright; but rather toyed with the idea of supporting E.H. Griffiths of Cambridge, which lend piquency to the very difficult relations that developed between Marchant and Griffiths during the latter's Principalships. 1901
